Let me add that I took my college age son to Luangwe with Johnny a couple of seasons back. My son’s first DG hunt. Buffalo.

Johnny asked how I wanted to do it. I told him to take my son and do it just like he did his first with his dad when he was a kid.

Said I’d stay with the vehicle and let him do it with a real pro, born and raised in the tradition. I’d stay out of it so he didn’t need to look at dad for advise or approval.

He used my well proven custom Mauser 9.3 x 62 with Barnes 250 TSX. Once again, one shot, one kill. I could not have wiped the smile off of his face with a Brillo pad.

A great adventure he’ll always remember
