Whats your favorite?

If money were REALLY no object, then 28 days in the Selous, open bag, with a double rifle. If I had to pick just one animal, sable. There's just something about them that I am drawn to more than any other African game animal.
 
My favorite are already on my wall..... BONGO and LEOPARD!!!!!!! but for sure I will do it again, just because.... and some buffaloes and elephant and kudu and forest duiker and roe buck and and and many more..... hunting as much as I can..... but Bongo is still a dream for me.
 
Bufalo is for me the best hunting and elephant, but any time in the bush with a gun in my hands hunting it´s all.
 
ele first then bongo
 
a LOT DEPENDS ON WHAT ONe IS WILLINg TO SPEND. ( Minimum days and trophy Fees) .
With a bow, I am pleased to have gotten 2 sable in Zimb for $2800 ( one cull for $800) Both were 37 inches. 1999.those were th good ol days.
The 4 Kudu are also a plus with bow on 4 trips.
( 48, 48 52 and 53 very Wide)
However, the Livingston Eland which was #10 SCI with a bow may still be one of better ones.
Trip in August 2012 will also attempt another kudu.
Will say that 2 of the 4 Ph`s were shaking filming the kudu bulls inside of 30 yards.
THEY WERE USED TO THEM AT 200 PLUS WITH RIFLE.

So I would say the kudu and one Cape Buff with bow ( 110 4/8 "SCI) are always special. gettign CLOSE makes it 1000x better than 300 yard shots with rifle.

My wish list would be a Bongo with bow.
May just have to be happy with P and Y Mullie Buck and Bul elk on my ranch every year with bow. no more Land /Golf Developments.

And those two are nothing to feel sorry about.
 
100lb bull elephant is what I would go for

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

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
