Another Masailand Lion ADDED ALOT OF PICS

These are some pics from a recent safari in Lokisale and LU5. The client took 25 different species and some great trophies.

Sorry! I miss counted on the species. I counted the multiple lion pics.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Brett,

Yes it is BUT other clients hunting earlier turned down perfectly shootable mature lions of 5-6 years or older. These clients are booked again for '09 so they could easily pass on a good lions looking for that very special trophy. The client in the above picture said he saw 40 lions in the 2 weeks in Lokisale.

Nice cat but if that is a Lolkisale Greater Kudu bull he just may be the trophy of the trip! Man, he is nice...

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Russell,

That is what I told Adam. The lion is very nice but the E.A kudu is a beaut.

Great looking Lion!

I sure am anxious to get back in the bush -- thankfully there's just a tad over a month to go.

Very nice, now lets see the rest of them.

Impressive trophies, but my vote for best of the bunch, the kudu.

Stunning kudu indeed.......and a whopper of a CokeÂ´s as well! Do you know what the CokeÂ´s measured?

I don't know the Coke's score but the very long tips indicate to me it must be a great trophy.

Folks,

If I have time later I'll post some more of the pics. The guy really had a remarkable safari.

I love those gazelles. Gonna have to get one of those someday.

Great pics! I love the bushbuck, one of my favorite animals from africa. The kudu isn't bad either! haha

21 August 2008, 03:50

The bushbuck is a boomer. My guess is he is 16" or better.

Great set of trophies Mark, I also liked the EA Kudu.

It appears there was little hunting, if I understand the post correctly 20 animials in 14 days, more like just shooting.

I gotta ask, what will a hunt like that will cost me?

Hey Mark, just to lighten up the mood around here let's play:
I guess bushbuck is 15" and 4/8
Coke's is just short of 20"

Anyone else want to try?

Great stuff Mark. That fella clearly had a good time.

All the pics of LU5 make me "homesick"!!! Absolutely loved it there.

The hunt was 14 days in Masailand and then they transferrred to the Selous. In good areas the amount of game taken is not unusual. I've hunted Africa quite a bit so I'm quite fussy about what I shoot. Even in Zim and Mozambique I shot 17 animals in 21 days last year.

Crowrifle

A 21 day safari is $72,900 plus trophy fees, hotels as necessary and gratuities.

Bwanamich

You have me at a distinct disadvantage here and I will defer to your more educated opimion on trophy size. Suffice it to say this guy had a Hell of a successful safari.

Mark, I am sure you are correct. "Even in Zim and Moxambique I SHOT 17 animals in 21 days last year."

I hunted with Brian in Zimbabawe and unless he's slowed down you don't get much down-time while there's still trophies to be taken.

Brian had so much energy he used to hit the heavy punching bag in camp before a & after lunch. Super PH & a great hunting companion.
