1. Green Rino
2. Buffalo
3. Leopard - 4 tries before sucess, but it was worth it big Tom, with dogs.
4. Hippo
5. Elephant day after Hippo
6 Lioness

Probably will not hunt any of them again except maybe Bull Elephant - first one was Mgmt bull. Just too interested in the Pygmy Antelope and the Spiral Horned. They are just more fun!

Yes to Ghana, but after Ethopia. I do want a Royal but the Mt Nyala, Menlik, Lesser Kudu and some other bushbuck are so tempting. My PH just informed me he is exploring Uganda which brings the Sitatunga into the picture. More money and more time, desire is not a problem, eh.

Addendum: Since everyone is listing numbers taken now, I'll just say, without counting, I have multiples of more than one of the above listed species.

I've killed 6 Buffalo and helped on one more.

I have tried to get Leopard twice and lion once so far.

I guess I'm just not very lucky with cats.

I have 7 of the lions mounted life-size so far. Not sure I will mount the other ones, no more room at the moment.

I'm hoping for one more lion but if I could take a bongo and a Mountain nyala I'd feel pretty complete as an African hunter. The collection of the PG species has really been the focus of my African hunting.
