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.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
