Hunted
Zimbabwe, USA- IL, WY, CO, NH, ME, Canada
Paperwork has been signed, sent and deposit will be transferred this week. I’m headed back to Zimbabwe to hunt leopard and buffalo along with plains game with Charlton and McCallum safaris in the Dande in 2028. Very far out I know, but I need an immense amount of planning with work to pull off a 14 day hunt. I’m beyond grateful to be able to head back so soon. This all worked out just due to being able to sit down for more than a half hour with Buzz at dsc. I booked a hunt in Namibia next May for free range plains game but it doesn’t satisfy the urge like Zimbabwe.

Opened a fresh bottle scotch to celebrate, cheers

I understand work and getting the time off. Two weeks usually not to hard to get off from work but the third week is tough.

I’m covering a new distributor now which needs extra support, so getting off 3 consecutive weeks without much communication needs a lot of planning. Hopefully by then it won’t be so challenging.
 
Excellent :D Beers:
 
Bravo!! Nothing like planning a safari. Almost as fun as going on the actual safari. Congrats. It’s a shame that these jobs keep getting in the way of our adventures but without the jobs the adventures don’t happen. What a conundrum.
 
Planning and anticipation is definitely half the fun. Perhaps consider paying for Untamed film crew to film your hunt. A Much better trophy than taxidermy is.
 
I’ve done a podcast once but I’ve never been one to want to watch myself do anything on camera. My wife does want a full leopard mounted, can’t say no to that.

There success rate for cats is very high, which is always a good thing

Vaughan Vosloo of Untamed is very good and filmed my hunt in the Omay last year. It is fun to share the videos with friends so they can see what Africa hunting is all about including the things that don't go well and create drama.

Cheers to Zim!
 
I don’t mind his videos, they seem well done. I don’t think I could ever be videotaped though
Most of the time you don't even know the cameraman is there. Unless they are doing a segment where you walk by or speak in an interview they are behind you and your PH. I'm also terrible at the interview part but watching the action replay is great.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
