Bull Jumbo and good bushpig boar again and for that matter everything else I could do and afford I’m pass the “ biggest “ and ride into a sunset " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. 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. Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move... Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies...

welli have a couple or three off your list but the greatest was a 17' puku that lead us around for several days and was finally bagged with a 200 yd shot from a 470not the glamor game off the list but the smartest old guy of his species | |||

I chose the Elephant but only if it was a true tracking hunt. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

I picked leopard, I don't know why except that's what jumped out at me from the list. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Wow, a fantastic Sable, the most elegant animal. | |||

I picked the LDE, hope to make it before they are unable to be hunted. Going after 5 animals on the list and more this September in Coutada 9, maybe I can get a 60 Kudu or a 15 Warthog, or the 46 Buff!! | |||
|
| One of Us |
Elephant all the way for me, with the 46" Buff a distant second place. Go Duke!! | |||

Elephant was my choice off the list. A lion that I walked up would be just above that, but not on the list. Good question. Jeremy | |||
|
| One of Us |
I'll take the bongo, particularly because that is the hunt that most appeals to me. | |||
|
One of Us |
It wasn't on the list, but my first choice would be a big, black maned lion. Spot and stalk or tracking only. Next would be elephant. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

I picked bongo mainly because that's my next planned African hunt. Caleb | |||

| One of Us |
My upcoming hunt with Andrew is for Buffalo, Sable, and Sitatunga. Man, that's a hard choice. Why can't I pick all three? I don't have the Buffalo or Sable of my dreams yet, but I do have them. So, I chose Sitatunga, as I don't have one. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Big buff for me. I have a 60 lb Ellie and that's good enough for me. BH63 Hunting buff is better than sex! | |||

I think this misses the whole point. I love to hunt just about anything, but it is the experience, not the size of the trophy that makes it for me. I love hunting buffalo and will continue to do so, but if I never shoot a 46" buffalo is of no moment. I was there. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Of all of them, I think the sitatunga is the "biggest" of the lot. That said, I chose the elephant as that is the most adrenalin inducing of the hunts to me. I would choose the buffalo would be second. The lion really is my #1, but was not a choice. | |||
|
One of Us |
also picked the Ele and that is providing a proper tracking hunt. I have been lucky enough to enjoy a tracking Lion hunt with the best team for such a hunt but sadly not possible to repeat  I do have simmilar plans though with the next best team. another on the top wish list is a foot safari for big buffalo in the hills of northern Uganda | |||
|
One of Us |
I chose Sitatunga simply because that's my next hunt. I can only hope to have an opportunity at one as grand as a 35"er. | |||

A 200lb leopard for me would be the ultimate. Followed by a 54” LDE. | |||
|
| One of Us |
I will add it and Lion next time! | |||
|
| One of Us |
Agree, but this is just for fun while in the low season. The “hunt” trumps size every Time! | |||

Lucky enough to have fullfilled 91 pound ele, Leopard 193 and 34 inch bongo 18 inch bushbuk and 16 inch warty will keep trying 4 the rest diego | |||

My Lord Derby hunt was the most challenging, exotic, rewarding and greatest experience of my African hunting career. The trophy is exquisite as well. Jim In the future, it would be mountain nyala. Again, for the exotic hunting conditions and the challenge. | |||

I’ve always wanted a wide 30”+ EA impala. I shot a narrow 25” 10 years ago because that the biggest we saw. I think a big wide EA impala is a very impressive antelope. DRSS Searcy 470 NE | |||

I chose the bongo as it was the one I don't have and the one I want desperately but am not like to be able to pursue. Mark MARK H.

I'd say the elephant at this stage in my hunting career, even though it's financially unrealistic for me. Unfortunately I predict they will be unavailable by the time that could be a reality for me. | |||

Could not agree more my friend! I have an 80lb elephant and a 45" buff already, as well as other big species from Africa - but out of 10 leopard hunts I have only managed to shoot 4 leopards and the biggest is a 140lb Tom. As for the LDE - I find it to be one of Africa's best hunts....so I want another - bigger one! | |||

My dream is a big leopard. Why? Simply because my dad shot 2 7.5 foot males in the 50s. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

I ask these questions as they are all on my list.... If I pick one it would be the Lord Derby and Steenbok. Ok, that is two. Then it would be the kudu. Then the leopard with Thierry Labat in Zim. Then a 60”Marco Polo that I just thought of.... I will never retire. | |||

200# leopard, because it’s a 200# freaking leopard! I’m also 0 for 2 on leopard and it would be a dramatic way to break that streak! ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Had I ever really decided to make a trip to Africa, it is easier for me to list what I would want to hunt, than what I wouldn't. My whole hunting career, all I have ever wanted is a decent representative specimen. From Africa it would be a cape buffalo, eland, greater Kudu, gemsbok, waterbuck and that is it. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

I love all my animal mounts, enjoy looking at them. . . and I know the liberals would think this evidence of some sickness. . . But I would dearly love a set of elephant tusks to admire and touch. | |||
