I would love to return to Africa after three previous trips. It becomes an obsession as “The Dark Continent” gets into your blood. But, there are other trips to consider. Therefore, come July 1, we will land in Maui for a week with two days hunting for Axis deer.
Make no mistake about it. I would so enjoy another trip to Africa. But I have promised my bride of nearly 52 years other trips to enjoy. So, for those that have not been to Africa I say go for it. MTG

Southwest Tanzania in august for me. It’s been 9 years since I went to Zim. I guess this is a 40th birthday present to myself.

Closest I get to anything African, is when occasionally I go down south into CA and have to pass thru Oakland...

I'm hunting in Zimbabwe in the first week of March, doing a little tour of Victoria falls with my wife first and then on to some game viewing in Hwange National park. After that we will hunt an elephant bull just South of Hwange in a forest reserve where the elephants are overpopulated, damaging the valuable teak trees and are not very welcome by the farmers around there either. My first elephant hunt, so I booked the best, Buzz Charlton. It should be an adventure! Fortunate to have found a large bull near Hwange some years ago. They are very much like the large old Botswana bulls. You should have a great safari. Since the import ban on eles, I’ve been focusing on tuskless. Will be back to Zim in July after a couple more. Getting into the herds always keeps it interesting. Unless the M-70 460 G&A is ready in time, it’ll be the 404 Jeffery again. Happy with either.

Would love to hunt Africa but won't spend a penny there until I can bring all the meat home for consumption ....

I have a great outfitter in South Africa if anybody has been looking. My wife and I hunted with him this past summer and we had an absolute blast.
Planning to host a small raffle for a hunt package with him soon. 4 days/5 Nights for 2 hunters with a choice of packages. 1) Nyala or Waterbuck AND Impala or Blesbuck or 2) Warthog or Babboon AND Impala or Blesbuck AND Zebra or Blue Wildebeest to be split between the two hunters.
Thinking 1-in-300 chance @ $50 each. Includes just about everything including roundtrip airfare from major US airports to and from South Africa through United Airlines, taxidermy prep and shipment back to the states, pickup/dropoff at Polokwane Airport, Hunting Guides, Gun Rental if needed (we took bows), Lodging and Accommodations, Laundry Service and Beer (in moderation). Additional animals would be encouraged but at your own expense as well as final taxidermy once in the states and cash tips to the lodge staff (highly encouraged)
Can PM me if interested in more details. Just trying to gauge interest before I set it up.

"Saskatchewan for bear with the recurve" RTJS that is awesome This will be the 3rd one hopefully. Did it in 2020 with a longbow out of a lockon at 7yards and last year in Sask with my recurve from the ground(no blind). Got it all on video as well at a whopping 7 yards. Let me tell ya that is very very intense! Wish I knew how to put the pics and video on here. Roy

May I ask who you are hunting in Sonora with? On my bucket list. We hunted on Isla Tiburon, with Sonora Desert Trophy Outfitters. Our group of 4 shot three bucks. I didn’t shoot anything but am going back next year. Tiburon is a neat place with some interesting deer.

Zambia for Bangweulu Black Lechwe & Tsesseebe, then Luangwa Valley for Buffalo & Cookson’s Wildebeest. 404 Jeffery & 338-06. You’ve got a nice deal going with Andrew, seems like you’ve had a good run together. Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t returned to this thread in this long time. Yes, CAelknuts, I have had a good relationship with Andrew. He’s a great PH, and this will be my 6th safari with him. We have hunted a bit of Zambia together, and I hope to hunt/see more with him. I also have my eye on a return to South Africa in the Drakensburg Mountains, and then on to Mozambique and Uganda. But first, I return to hunt the Luangwa Valley again with Andrew this summer.
