On my first safari, in Zimbabwe, I took 16 trophy animals and 5 or 6 bait animals. Highlights were a 58 lb elephant, a big tom leopard, 2 buffalo that were both over 41", a 45" sable, 54" kudu and 31" waterbuck. That hunt was 24 of the very best days of my life, and still stands as the finest hunting trip I've ever enjoyed. We were not focused on inches, but things panned out very well and I came home with some splendid animals.
 
9 in 10 days of hunting however only 2 were trophys. The rest were culls.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
