I think the answer to the question is "whenever you get the chance!"  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! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

If you can stand the heat, I vote for September-October. The pans have dried up, concentrating the game around the few available water sources (hopefully the rains haven't started). Buffalo have to drink at least once a day. Regards, Terry  Msasi haogopi mwiba [A hunter is not afraid of thorns] | |||

Just depends on where you are going and how much it has rained. Early in Zim duing a wet year can be a problem because the foliage is so darn dense that you can't see buff but they can see you. Better off late than early, if you have the choice. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

July - August Only because I shot mine in August! But I would say the later the better, early, you have alot follage yet. Later, less water holes and not too much follage "America's Meat - - - SPAM" As always, Good Hunting!!! Widowmaker416 | |||

I hunted Chewore the first time in late October and the 2nd time in August. August was warm, but nice. October was HOT!!!!! Had a great hunt both times and shot/saw alot of animals both times. Hunting may have been slightly better in October, but be prepared to do a lot of hiking/walking in 105+ degree heat. Tim | |||
