bulbwerksA Few Trophies from My Father's Trip with Chifuti This Year
My father hunted with Chifuti on the Zambezi River in May/June this year with PH Len Taylor. He shot a 43+" buffalo, a nice cow Hippo that acted like a bull with 1 eye, a tuskless cow and a nice Klipspringer. He couldn't have been happier with them and and everyone involved with their operation. The buffalo, elephant and Kilpspringer were takend with a CZ 416 Rigby using Barnes Triple Shocks and Banded Solids. The hippo was taken with a Steyr Mannlicher 375 H&H with Barnes Triple Shocks.

Dagga BoyCongrats to your dad. It sounds like he had a great hunt. Did he have any problems? I'm guessing not with Chifuti.

bulbwerksBlank I wish you the best of luck next year on your hunt. He took an Iridium Satellite phone with him over there and was able to call and check in after he killed an animal or just to settle my mother down given the country's condition according to the media.

bwanamrmDam nice buff for the Zambezi Valley... hell, dam nice buff anywhere! Congrats to your Pop.
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

WillThat's a huge buff for being from the valley.
What concession did your Dad hunt? Must have been Dande North.
Congrats to him.
