I would dearly love to have the Cruiser sitting in my garage!

They are impressive vehicles. I would like to have one too but in left side drive. Not much will stop them. Matter of fact in my limited experience with them nothing has.

When I got out of college the first thing I did was buy a new 1983 Land Cruiser wagon - the 4 door. I got it entirely loaded with all the options available, which at the time was a radio and air conditioner! I got really stupid in the late 90s and gave it to a friend of mine. I regret that still today.

Congratulations to you both! Thanks for sharing your hunt. It's a dream that some of us still aspire to realize - we all dream of Africa it seems.

Jason: I already shot a Buffalo and a Leopard. I highly recommend it....but I was thinking more of a cull hunt in the Kalahari.....

I like an optimist! But I just checked the Market this morning. All I can say is NO, we's can't!

Hey Ingwe, what are you going to sell to help fund this experience? You know you don't need that decrepit old Ingwe Special anymore.

Cant sell that. Its my 'big' rifle and will have to go with me....again. Absolutely! I just finished Captick's book about Wally Johnson, PH in Mozambique a few decades ago. He (Johnson) tells the tale of taking a German/Austrian(?) lady hunting and she downed not one but two Cape Buffalo with, as he put it, a "pipsqueak" 7x57. One shot each. She obviously knew how to use her 'big' rifle as well.
