I’ve been to Namibia for a rifle hunt of plains game and an archery hunt for Cape Buffalo in S Africa. Zimbabwe will be tuskless elephant and Leopard with a Blaser double rifle.

Welcome, my first trip to Zim was last July for tuskless with a double and my favorite hunt to date.
 
I’m curious what outfitter you went with. I am going with Charlton/McCallum Safaris. Have sure heard good things about them. I have yet to have a bad experience in Africa. All the outfitters I’ve met are first quality.
 
I have received similar response from others. I’ve did a lot of checking prior to booking and never heard a bad thing. Did you by chance have Kendall as your PH.
 
Welcome,what rifle will you be using for Leopard?
 
:S Welcome:
 
I have an R8 that has a 300 win mag barrel I’ll probably use but if I can find a double rifle barrel in a similar caliber for my Blaser S2 I’ll take that barrel and use the same gun. Currently using a 470 NE double Blaser rifle but hoping to find a 375 H&H barrel set.

They are one of the top outfitters I’ve hunted with. I’m booked for my 3rd trip with them. You’ll have a great trip just make sure your expectations are right. Hunting in Zambezi valley is very different than South Africa and Namibia.
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome! Certainly glad to have you here with the rest of us! Looking forward to a great hunt report after your upcoming hunt!

I am under the impression that we could walk 5 to 8 miles per day in pursuit of an elephant. I don’t believe the terrain is as difficult as hunting elk in the Rockies. I’m pretty fit but I’m certain I’ll be tired at the end of the day.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
