Wow! You guys blow me away.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I love all of the trophies you posted, but "Mr. Spots" has me green with envy! I have two Leopard hunts under my belt and haven't pulled the trigger yet. I hope the old adage "third times a charm" holds true!

My favorite to hunt is gemsbok, but by far my favorite trophy is this Kudu. I love uniqueness. This one has it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t292/inmanta/DSC00828.jpg)

![[Linked Image]](http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy29/iceman19820603/Maclear3.jpg) Here is a very young me, and before I could really appreciate what I had just accomplished. Not the greatest photo, but you can see the length. He's sitting nicely on my wall. ![[Linked Image]](http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy29/iceman19820603/DSC_0627_zps1c996ab3.jpg) Great Vaal Rhebuck

The best trophy is the one I still want, a sable. My favorite to hunt are buffalo. A couple Masailand big boys... ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/MVC-004L.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/luv2safari/MASAILANDBUFFALO-LOKISALETANZ001-1.png)

I narrowed it down to two. The very first animal I took in Africa. ![[Linked Image]](http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/123lassie/AFRICA%202010/AFRICAPICTURES722.jpg) and this kudu ![[Linked Image]](http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii76/123lassie/AFRICA%202010/AFRICAPICTURES943.jpg) it all seems like a dream sometimes...I need to get back to Africa.....

Mike I agree, the cats are fantastic. Ironically, when I was hunting Cape Buffalo in Tanzania, we came upon a leopard in broad daylight laying on the branch of a big tree. I didn't have leopard on license nor did I have a CITES, so we moved on and left the cat undisturbed. I could probably go on ten leopard hunts and never see one. Yet, not looking for one, we stumble upon one. Kinda like wolf hunting.

Here is my "Wish List". BOHUNR's Sable, BigHorn's Eland, EDM's Nyala, AFTERUM's Kudu and it's a toss up between FishN4Eye's and Texashooter's Buffs. If these were on my wall I could die a "Happy Hunter"!
