I’ll be after a cape buffalo and spotted hyena in Zim next year. Looking forward to it. It will be my 6th hunting trip to Africa.

Leaving in February for northern Cameroon. Got elephant and Lord Derby Eland there- albeit 25 years ago. Cameroon is “real” Africa. Meaning graft and corruption and damn few white folks. A smattering or better of French language will help you Douala. I advise you get the outfitter well, especially these days. Book Hareem has been screwing around not terribly far from there. Be smart!

Had dinner with some friends last night. Looks like we will all be headed over in May of 25. It’ll be my 5th time over so I’ll just be going along to watch others enjoy their first trip. GF wants a kudu BAD and about all I still want is a nice Nyala. GF will probably take a 7/08 or 308 and I’ve got a nice 700 classic in 8x57 I’ll plan on taking.
I haven’t shot the 8x57 much but I’ve got a few boxes of 180tsx that it will hopefully like.
Anyone have any experience with the 200gr Speer hotcores? Speers work fine at those velocities. I am sold on the performance of all the TSX line.

Gemsbok, warthog, black wildebeest and would love to add a hyena. KY221: Will you be hunting with Jan du Plessis at Sebra? I’ve hunted six times with Jan, starting in 2012.

I might be there if the outfitters daughter gets married, she's asked us to attend if/when the day comes. The way her and her beau batted eyes at one another, I don't expect it's far off.
Whenever I go again, I'll pick up the trail for eland again. Last trip had 9 stalks, but never connected. All the usual culprits; shifting wind, breaking stick, grazing impala, giraffe sentry's, guinea fowl and even a leopard pouncing on its prey. One of these days all the puzzle pieces will align.

I hunted a lot in Botswana, South Africa and Namibia when I worked in Africa for 4 years. Not really anything in particular that I feel the need to pursue, but I would like to take my lady and show her just how magical the dark continent is. A trip to Vic Falls would be in order.
Perhaps a action filled cull hunt is what I would enjoy the most. I certainly don't need any more trophies.

Headed to the East Cape with my son in June. Second trip with Marius Goosen, KMG Safaris and first time I've used a safari company twice. Had such a great time the first time, I couldn't wait to return.

Just back from Zambia. Maybe 2025. 2024 looks like Eastern/Central Europe.

With the aforementioned brown bear hunt and what appears to be the forming of a fishing trip a couple of months later out of Ketchikan we are likely set for the year. Good luck folks.

We're going to tourist the hell out of Egypt next year, so no hunting for me unless something changes.
2025, either Caprivi for buff or back to Zambia for buff/leopard. Maybe both if the stars align!
Winchester rifles and Swarovski scopes.

I was there this spring and came back with the worst infection of my life. There are no Sudafed anywhere in the Middle East and you can’t bring it with you.
