Same here..I didn't take my wife to my trip to Zim. I made a mistake. Not this time. good luck

I wish...............

Namibia with Vaughan Fulton. Going after leopard and plains game.

I have unfinished business with a zebra in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Also a Cape bushbuck would be nice along with some driven guinea fowl, perhaps? Parker-Hale .404 and Browning Citori Featherweight 12.

Going for 21 days of hunting and touring to the Eastern Cape with my wife and 11 year old son. This will be there first trip.

August to Namibia for 14 days of PG (eland,Hartman's,kudu,oryx,roan and warthogs) followed directly by Tanzania for buff.
338 win mag and 375 H&H

Namibia in June with my wife for PG. Win 70 in 9.3x62 with 250 gr triple shocks.

Had a great safari in Chirisa, Zim in 2004 with HHK (elephant.lioness,2 buff,...) so was planning a return for August 2006 to Chete. However, there seems to be a lot of potential controversy around HHK at present & there is the always volatile Zim political picture to think about. I am hoping some of this will get clearer by SCI when HHK sets up their booth & can answer these questions directly.
If this falls through I will scramble to try & arrange something else for 18 days as we have already purchased airline tickets to Joberg.
Will take my 450/400 NE Lancaster Double & Dakota 416 Rigby. Regardless, I will continue to read about & dream of DG hunting through the winter (it was -16 last nite!)

Jungleboy, where are you in Wyoming that you have such high temperatures? It was -29 here in Jackson last night.

SBT,
It seems I'm from the "banana belt" (aka: Sheridan)

Counting the days until Sept. when I am headed to Zimbabwe for 14 days with Russ Broom. Am after buffalo (perhaps 2) and leopard primarily with hopes that we will be able to go after a problem elephant. Sable, eland and a bushbuck would also be nice.

Doug

Somewhere in Africa, have not decided yet. We normally work things out for our hunt in January.

I am hunting in Zimbabwe March for 31 days.
I have "on quota" 2 trophy bulls, 4 crop raiding bulls [if they are raiding the crops], 5 cow elephants, 2 buffalo bulls, leopard, crock, hippo and plains game.

Zimbabwe with Russ Broom Safaris the first week of September for buffalo.

450NE No 2,

Wow! Need a gun bearer?

I'm probably going in Oct for three or four or five tuskless, plus a big Southern Bushbuck, an Nyala and a shot at a leopard, though it will be very late for good cat hunting.

JPK

Binga for buff in early May with Russ Broom.

-Steve

Wow, three guys going with Broom. If any of you hunt with Rory Muil, tell him I said hello.

Regards,

Terry

Right now it is NZ for Thar and Chamois, red stag, then off to OZ to hunt water buff at GanGan with my friend Matt Grahm. I am looking at adding either Rusa in New Caledonia or Banteng in another area of native lands in OZ. Unfortunately I will have to choose. Unless I would get extremely lucky there would not be enoug time for everything. This will all be in July. I have a quick one week trip to Argentina in June that was postponed this year because of family issues.

The only way I will make it back to africa this year is if my darling wife consents or I hit the lottery. I am anxiously waiting to see what happens with the Sudan this year.

Caprivi, Luangwa Valley or Masailand . . . decisions, decisions, decisions . . .

Mike,

Going to NZ huh? Me too! I have a hunt planned for the middle of May, Thar and Chamios and some of the little critter that move in the night. I'm trying to figure in a some days in Oz, that part is still in the works.

Good luck on your trip!

I'll be heading out to Missouri in the fall for a Whitetail bow hunt. And talking to Ann about another hunt in the fall.....

Will do, Terry.

Thanks, Who are you planning to hunt with? I am going to be with MAtt Graham and Bob Penfold. I will also stop for a few days to see MAtt Hall and Shane Quinn. Like you I will shoot a lot of the night critters as well. I also have a week I can use at Reel Hunting, Mike and Julie Hodder's place. I dont know if I will use it this year and extend this trip or wait until next year.

THE CENTRAL AFRICA REPUBLIC

First of all, something ROUGH, WILD and DANGEROUS.

Kotto safari

Jungleboy: I have an uncle who's in his 80s now that lives in Sheridan (well Big Horn actually). He's a retired doctor. He's the one that got me hooked on africa at an early age. As far as plans for 06, nothing cooking yet, but if I draw a moose tag, it'll be to our place in Maine. A return Africa trip is not until 08. jorge

widowmaker, I made a stag hunt with GlenRoy couple years ago, landscape is breath taking.
I have bowhunt for whitetails booked 1st week of Nov.in Ill. to fit in after my trip to Africa....hopefully you'll be getting some work from that one too. TLM

widowmaker, I am trying to put togeather a hunt in NZ with Gary Herbert for Tahr, Chamois, Ram, Goat and Boar during the last week in June. I am working thru Paul Barstad. If this dosen't come togeather I guess I may just have to settle for spending a while in Natal after some of the little guys.

Die Ou Jagter

Hell! If you can't get things together with Paul, change your dates and come do a hunt with me in May. As it stands right now, I'm heading over alone, always enjoy company!

I'll be seeing paul this Tuesday, Lehigh Valley Board meeting

Cats,

Thanks, looking forward to doing some critters for you!

I'm hunting with Gerald & Sue Telford in NZ. I met them at the Reno show a few years ago, made some really nice friends, can't wait to go visit with them.

Here's their web site: http://www.flyfishhunt.co.nz/

I'm excited about going over, I want to make a trip to OZ, maybe a few days there before heading over to NZ

Oz for water buffalo ... in early July .. and then off to Namibia for a month or six weeks .. If possible, I'd like to go to Argentina some time ... Whew !!!

argentina in late march for red stag & ducks

No Africa for a few more years. Hopefully I'll get drawn for pronghorn and mule deer in Wyoming. Aside from the usual stuff here, that will be it for 2006.

Usangu Safaris in Tanzania for Lion, Buff and Leopard. CHEERS

I just had a long chat with my old friends, Roy and Alan Vincent.

These two must be gluttons for punishment, as they have agreed to arrange a hunt for us next year.

As far as Africa is concerned, we're headed to Zimbabwe at the end of July for a 14-day plainsgame safari with Roger Whittall at Humani. I may add some time, if possible, for some hunting in Chewore for buffalo, etc. I haven't decided on that possibility yet......

AD

I've rebooked with Garry Kelly in RSA for a return engagement with vaal rhebok and to see if we can pick up some of the little guys like suni, and a couple of duikers. I'm still without a really nice greater kudu and perhaps Garry can help with that.

On the way back from RSA we are spending a week in Scotland for a traditional stag hunt and I'm actually as excited about that as I am Africa.

Mark

I will be heading to Makalaan in Namibia for 17 days of bowhunting bliss.Going to have my son and a couple of buddies with me for the first ten days then send them home so Antonie and I can get seriously lethal for another week.

30ott6 and I are off to Zambia. We'll be hunting for 21 days in September with Johnny DuPlooy in the Chanjuzi GMA, Luangwa Valley. Chanjuzi borders three different National Parks. Lion, Leopard, Cape Buffalo,Hippo, Croc, plains game and Tiger Fish are on license.

Mwambesi area of Tanzania for elephant and whatever else time allows for...with TBGS for 21 days starting August 15th. (Might even let my husband take a shot this time, or at least that's what I tell him now!)

West Texas, Jim Bean Ranch in December of '06...hopefully for that 30 inch Mule Deer that continues to elude me.

Regards, D. Nelson
