June in Botswana for elephant.

It will be a busy summer.
Bill

We leave in three days for the Save Conservancy (Humani with Guy Whittall).

I’m really looking for an OLD, scrum cap dagga boy. The real treat will be to have another couple in camp on their FIRST trip!

Alaska to chase silvers, already did my hunt in Austria in the spring.
Big guns come out in 2026

Alaska to hunt black bears.

Just got back fro leopard hunt in Namibia (Nyae Nyae) and headed to Moz end of June for 3 buff, hippo and crocodile. Youngest son going as well for his first buffalo hunt

Definitely a fun spot and stalk hunt in the fall over berries on the mountain sides.

Nyakasanga in August with CMS for tuskless and buffalo. Pity the poor PH as at present I can hardly walk with pulled tendons. Still nice to be out in the jesse even if I don't shoot anything.

If you need someone to tag along to do the trigger pulling for you I might be able to force a slot into my schedule ....
I don't mind trying to help a nice guy ...

Ugalla in the Tabora District. Full bag. Focus on cats, buffalo, roan, croc and topi.

August to Zambia for another cat.

Back to Namibia for my third time there, mostly for the rats & mice. I am looking forward to the Caracal hunt mostly.

Always wanted a Caracal. Hunted Namibia twice and never saw one. Not even a track.

Didn't mean that negatively. Good luck and hope you get your cat!

A little while back we got a caracal visit our house!

It was tame, and had a chip.

We scanned it, and found its owner.

A young girl who was very hapy to come collect it.

We get quite a lot of stray animals come to our house, I am not really sure why.

May be we have many animals and birds roaming around??

I won the African Hunting Gazette's spiral horn slam drawing that Richard Lendrum does every year, so I am headed to the Limpopo to hunt spiral horns with Eland Safaris tomorrow.

My son and I are hunting Ele and buff with CMS in September.

Russ Marshall and I will be hunting free range axis deer here in Texas in June.

I'll be fishing in Uruguay for Golden Dorado with Tim Herald, Russ Marshall and Mike Jines in November even though its cutting into the prime whitetail rut. Lol

My son and I will be hunting Chinati Mountains for mule deer, Carman Mountain whitetail and aoudad.

Rhino and buff in the RSA.

Hangar argali , ibex and ducks in Mongolia .

Not really summer, but going to BVC in late November to hunt brown hyena and will also hunt buffalo while I’m there, then stop in South Africa on the way back for cape grysbok and cape bushbuck.

Well, we have recently returned from 31/2 months cruising, 2 weeks Mediterranean to Barcelona and remainder all the way around Africa to the Seychelles Islands, and back to Barcelona. Just spectacular, 24 countries and 50 ports, left footprints in the Selous.

I have survived 4 days in the hospital for major back surgery, and I will spend this summer recovering, Physical Therapy,and force walking to get hunting again!!
Watch out next year, I'll be catching up!! When you're old, these mandatory repairs take away double digit percentage of what you might have left!!

I'm envious of all these great adventures, ENJOY, and wishing you all Safe Travels!!

I still have adding a jet rating and Heli rating to my license in my Bucket List... but not this summer!!

CheerZ,

This year my busket list is Europe roe deer and red stag
Next year Africa again just don’t know what and where yet

Roe deer in Romania next week, salmon in New Brunswick for September and Vermont for grouse/woodcock in October

Fallow in the UK late summer. Inspiring to read about the trips others are taking, trying to catch up!

August to Alaska for salmon then September the Selous for 3 Buffalo.

Late September to Greenland for Muskox and Reindeer. Should be a great adventure.

Heading to Zambia in early Nov for buffalo/hippo/croc with a small group from my SCI chapter.

Hunting and fishing with a good friend for 5 weeks starting with a cat in North Luangwa and then camping and fishing for big Tiger in Barotseland Western province.

Andrew,

Always wanted to fish for big tigerfish.

You are always welcome

Andrew,

I need a trip to Zambia. May take you up on it.

.

Just back from a week of fly fishing in UK (see rept in Fishing Section). Next up RSA driven springbok in June, then August Hungary for roe rut, end September RSA for buff with Mark Dedekind and then some pheasant and partridge days in UK. Also looking at a pike fishing trip in UK.

I just got home, literally an hour ago, from a buffalo hunt on Hammond with Alan Vincent. Shot a great old non-trophy bull. Broomed, broken bosses with skull showing, probably 12-13 years old.

In mid-October I’ll be hunting sitatunga at Tondwa with Johnny DuPlooy.

Excellent and sounds like a contender for the Rigby award.

Of all the places I've hunted in Africa, two places stand out in my mind; CAR and Tondwa.

I'm super excited for you.

Some great hunting trips and safaris are in the works, gentlemen!

After many years of going elsewhere, this year we're finally going back to the Selous Game Reserve.

Sad to say, we're prepared to see fewer elephants, but we hear they're making a comeback, and we hope that otherwise a safari in the Selous hasn't changed too much. There's nothing like hunting from a tent (albeit a pretty nice one) in the wilderness.

We also plan to spend some time in Dubai and northern Tanzania, both before and after our safari.

We're really looking forward to this trip, almost as much as the first one.

Awesome

I'm leaving Atlanta on 6/17 for 10 days in Zululand with Lex Strauss. It is a free-range concession that joins Eswatini. Buffalo is the primary target, but I'm hoping to have some time for tigerfish on Lake Jonzini as well.

DLS,

What do you mean "non-trophy"? That sounds like an awesome trophy. I have two broken horn bulls at the taxidermist now and can't wait to get them back. They have character!

Leopard and buff done now looking for tigers

I'm going to Stopathome

Not much left on my bucket list now bar perhaps another decent stag or two.

Two places in Romania for roe deer hunts in May
God damn that was fun and to boot one was in awesome wine region
