Hi Retreever, Haven't seen you since DSC. I have hunted Selous Blocks R2 & 4 in 99'. The only animals on your list that you might struggle with a bit are the sable and waterbuck. Hippo, croc, buff a plenty, also kongoni. Cats are there, also in good numbers. Big maned lions may be hard, but generally big bodied lions are not. Also, you may be fortunate enough to take an ele, saw a lot of them, but at that time the size limits were higher. Good hunting! A trip you will never forget. Dak | |||

Mike, You scared me,I thought I was right behind you but I'm still 20 some odd weeks out. Like you, I have a hard time opening my mouth without mentioning Africa, I'm sure I'm very boreing. My exercise regimen is about like yours, tomorrow, or maybe next week. I keep telling myself it'll happen but if I don't get off my butt it'll never get done. Keep reminding me of the time left, it's too easy to let THE TRIP sneek up on you. | |||
