shootawayWhich was your favorite African hunt?
Of all the hunts you have been on which was the one that you liked most? Why? I am in the mood of hearing some favorite hunting experiences.

boarkillerelephant hunting will always be my favorite
Bulls of course, but front charge from cow was simply scary, but damn hoot. End good, all good...

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

bwana cecilMy favorite hunt was my 1st, 2nd & 3rd safaris.
Haven't been on my 4th yet.
Really, every animal I hunted in Africa has been special & some of the failed stalks were just as much fun as the successful ones were.
LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show.
Not all who wander are lost.

zimbabweNothing will ever replace the adventure of my first safari. It could never be duplicated as it was the first. My Leopard wasn't big but it was dead. My Kudu did make 50 inches though.

Blair 338RUMAll of them!
Probably the first hunt in the Kalahari in Namibia and hunting Nyala in Zululand.
I really like to hunt the spiral horns; though I do have 6 Oryx on my walls...........

Hunting with Walter does exists.
When Walter is around, it is a comedy show!

Yes Sir, I visited with Nicky the other day- he's doing well. A good friend and a great hunter and naturalist.
I remember we walked a lot and I learned a lot about Africa.

My criteria are:
quality of the PH
quality of the area
quality of the trackers
quality of the camp staff
All of my safaris have been great- but the first one left the biggest impression.

MuletrainThree safaris ago. That was the "Spotlighting Elephants" trip. Met some very cool people in the tribal lands. Camped out under the Madala's pole barn. Ate roasted corn cooked on the campfire. Did a lot of hiking. Laughed hysterically one evening when the Zim "outfitter" was scared shitless by ghosts and he started screaming like a little girl. Then I was scared shitless on the Zim side of the bridge crossing the border late at night. Had a fantastic three days of bird hunting in SA following the Zim hunt.

That sounds like fun.

BriceIt must have been the first one. I'll never forget that morning. Or maybe it was the leopard hunt in Namibia, or perhaps the safari in Moz with Kevin Robertson. Or the crocodile on the Luangwa. All of the hunts with Fanie Steyn of Thaba Mmoyo were great. The unsuccessful sable hunt in Zim up near Hwenge was fun, and notable because I lost the back end of my britches from sitting on a spare battery in the back of the bakke. Perhaps it was...............

PWN3752005 during a PAC elephant hunt with my brother. We were hunting with Don Heath and we both killed elephants. Mine was one body shot with a 500/416 double rifle and fullfilled a life long dream of killing an elephant with a double rifle
Or
2007 during a family safari in Zimbabwe and Natal with my wife and teenaged daughters with Don Heath and John Harris. To see my girls enjoy Africa as much as I do and to watch then cleanly kill a few head of plainsgame was an incredible experience. Plus we took a helicopter flight over Victoria Falls and an elephant back safari.

crbutlerMy first hunt was just magical, but I enjoyed my hunt in Masailand the most.
I knew enough to be able to help out and appreciate what was going on.
That it was wildly successful was just icing on the cake.
That first hunt though, it delayed retirement by at least 20 years...

BakesMy first and only so far. Finally met Saeed (one of natures gentlemen or as we say in Australia, a bloody top bloke) and Walter (again a bloody nice bloke as well)And as Saeed said when he's around its a comedy show with jokes best described as
I saw animals I've only dreamed about, heard lions roar and hyena's laugh for real and not just on the TV.
Its not something I'm ever going to forget.

Bud MeadowsLike most people, my first African hunt was my favorite. On my first morning, I shot a 40" gemsbok bull, followed later in the hunt by a 41" gemsbok cow, a 55" kudu, a zebra, and some other critters. Most importantly, I met Jan du Plessis and his wife Mariesje, and have had the pleasure of hunting with them a second time only 9 months after the first hunt. I'll be going back with them in June 2015, and can't wait.

Is a signed copy of your up coming book going to be to much to ask?
