30-06 and I have returned from a fantastic safari in Zambia! As referenced in an earlier post, we were able to succesfully take a huge black maned lion as well as leopard, buffalo, hippo and plains game. I am off to a conference, but will post photos upon my return. Thanks Bwanamrm for the celebration cigars, it was a great way to top off our success!

Bwanas, Congratulations! I would have expected nothing less than a great safari from John DuPlooy but a monster lion is always a fantastic trophy and not a slam dunk anywhere. Good show for you both!

Scott, I heard from John Barth that you were successful - fantastic and muy congratulations! Looking forward to a full report and plenty of pictures. I knew you and John were in for a great safari... that's why I handed you the Cohibas!

AWESOME LION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Must have been the rifle you were using. It looks like you hit him well. I'm betting it was a one shot kill with the 416 Rigby. Let's hear some stories. Great hunt! Tim | |||
