In the bush, John Sharpe is the man we all wish we could be.
I endorse him 100%.

Having hunted with him twice, in Zimbabwe, I'll hunt with no other. Truly the consummate professional.

Damn it...I have been saving for a grizzly hunt and would hate to blow it on a buff hunt instead, but from what I have read John Sharp is THE man to hunt Africa with.
May have to ponder this opportunity.

Griz can wait. Call John Sharpe and have a life enriching experience. Unless you're hunting with Phil Shoemaker. Then it's a coin flip.

I'd personally do the griz hunt. Especially if being done spot and stalk and via spike camp. The terrain and elements are tougher, and I'd personally want to scratch that off my bucket list at a younger age because of those circumstances. Besides, who the heck can get excited walking for days on end in the heat just to simply shoot a fricken cow?! As to the man offering the cape buf hunt.... never heard of him. Is he any good?

Ted, I tend to come down on FOsteology's side. Grizz hunting is for the younger guy, so I would tend to do that first while I was younger and save hunting buff until later. That being said, John Sharp won't be around forever. I don't know how old he is, but at some point he may decide there are better things to do than chase after dangerous game with a client in tow. Just my two cents. I only know Sharp by reputation and I'm sure you couldn't go wrong with him as your PH.

I hunted buffalo etc with John Sharp in 2015 and am planning to hunt with him again in 2018 or '19. Spend your money now. Grizzly hunting isn't going to go away, but African huntin, especially DG, is getting more and more difficult to do. Seize the opportunity.

Add my name to the list of encouragers. I've hunted buffalo twice with John (2013 and 2016) and it is a grand time. John's stories and watching Isaac work are worth the price of admission, a buffalo is just gravy.
long before Rodriguez stole that goat.

LOL, I got your old 577 and my 500 Nitro out today with q-tips and some fresh rig grease for the lynch pins, then drug clean oiled bore snakes through the barrels, they're ready.
