Home from another successful safari with SSG Safaris at Malapati, Zimbabwe. I'll post a report when I have time, but the highs/lows are a great leopard for me, a beautiful old, worn down nyala for Pam, no sign of sable and her 41-42" dugga boy crossed into the park after a low lung shot.

Congrats on the cat!

Looking forward to your report - I'm headed out to Malapati in a couple of weeks for a similar hunt and can barely stand the wait.

Glad to hear you are back Scott and look forward to your report... good news on the cat! Sorry about the buff, it happens.


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.

Hey Scott,

Good to hear you made it home safe and sound. Bummer about the buff, takes a bit of the shine away.

How about just one sneak peak of your cat?

Congrats on the cat.Looking forward to the story.


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!
