Thanks for posting

Being in a position of public interest and influence has to help, but from everything I see (and know) about Shockey, he earns his trophies with hard work. More power to him!

I still wonder about the whole idea of "modern" muzzle loaders, but I'd be happy if I got to take the same animals with a push feed Remington!

Thanks for the update, Kathi.

The first Sesse Island sitatungas taken in over 30 years
why not more? is the population so bad that there are not many left?in so case why hunt them ?

I think there have been a few problems in Uganda over the last 30 years that has put a stop to hunting there Donner.You know typical african stuff,maniacal murdering dictators,rebel zealots,etc ,etc

Jim Shockey continues to make his mark!

He seems to be a genuinely nice guy who works hard at his hunting and generally presents the best side of our beloved sport to the broader world.

Congratulations to him!

Donner - Bearhunter762 is right! But now Uganda is a safe, stable place to visit and to hunt! Steve Kobrine is an acquaintance of mine, and he has worked closely with the outfitter in getting Uganda hunting back to the fore-front! My partner Corey Knowlton booked Jim on the hunt, both of them shot excellent Sesse Island Sitatunga, and reported seeing many of them. Corey told me that he saw thousands of game species, and the place was a paradise!

I have seen "many" reports from European clients and the trophy quality seems to be +++
Not so many species to hunt as i understand but everybody seems to come home with a +30" impalas and Super elands and hard bossed buffalos and that leopard that was taken last year ...

Glad to see that post as I have been looking for some one to hunt there with for Sitatunga.
