I have one for you; it’s a bit out of the Box and does not include killing anything.

I am involved with a project in relocating Elephant, Buffalo and Sable in Malawi.

It is in there national parks and is truly an experience to be had, the last project was filled by National Geographic,

I will post some links, it’s a wild experience and compares to 100 buffalo charges in one,
Would not cost you anything except your accommodation and if you found the project worthwhile a donation to the Park would be most welcome,

And by the way this relocation project will lead to a hunting quota in the near future,

And will get your Mojo to Boiling point


JK Malawi sounds interesting...I take it you are using animals from Majete to restock another reserve?


I should have looked at the photos before I responded. Looks like the source is Liwonde NP..where are they headed? I think I read that African Parks is taking over another reserve similar to what they have done at Majete? Dont remember the name but I believe it is to the north of Majete.

The Kri-Kri ibex would be an interesting hunt but I believe it is done with rented shotguns and not much of a hunt. The scenery is great and the people are great from what I have heard.

True, I'm not sure of the methods on the Kri-Kri and difficulty.

My dad was in Macedonia last March for work and he told me about some of the hunting there. He was blown away by how beautiful the landscape is. He was in Skopje and Mavrovo.

Shooting (and I use that word advisedly) red stags in Scotland was a huge disappointment for me. The stalkers we had treated the hunters like royalty or idiots, not that there's necessarily much difference!

They carried the rifles (cased and unloaded), then when stags were sighted and approached to within range, they made rolled up rests out of the soft cases and placed the rifles on them. Then they lined up the shots and even loaded the bloody rifles for you!

When I objected, I was told simply that that's the way it's done.

I much preferred the free range stag hunting in Patagonia.

Dogcat, this one is really out of the box. But with your (and my) interest in birds, how about a Puffin, Razorbill, Black Guillemot and Common Guillemot hunt in Iceland. Puffins can only be hunted in later May and early April, I believe, but the other birds can be hunted after September 1st. Maybe you could combine it with a hunt in Greenland (Musk Ox or Reindeer) if logistically possible.

Maybe you should just take the family sightseeing or fishing until you figure out what you really want to do.

At least in Greece several specific rules exist for hunting, Boddington said he was not allowed to use rifles, scopes nor rifled barrels in his hunt for Kri-Kri, which left him with a smooth bore open sighted slug gun!

My wife & I just returned from Zim & Moz, shot a nice dugga boy plus other game. Our true peak experience was distributing 75 lbs. of clothes, shoes, & soccer balls to tribal children. Talk about poverty! If you do a wee bit of volunteering I bet it will revive your African Spirit. Pick up & hold a child who never had a pair of shoes. The hunting game sure took on a new meaning for us.
