Arrived home yesterday from Zim. Had a great trip. I thought I would post a few comments and add pic.s and a full report next week. Hunted tuskless for seven days in Dande South with P.H. Ryan Millward. Shot the ele on day 5 after looking over 39 ele. No ele seen from truck, all tracked in thick jess near rivers. Joined a friend for the last half of his leopard/buff safari in Cheowre North with P.H. Andy Hunter. Shot a great cat on day 10, 7'2" approximately 8 yr.s old. No problems traveling in Zim. Chartered from Harare. Things are very quiet in Harare due to cerfew. Lots of rumors but little in the way of real unrest, as far as I could tell. Tidbit: I was told that Steve Horniday was in Chewore North the week before I arrived testing the new 416 Ruger round on lion and buff (both of which he shot). Brett | ||

Welcome back Brett, I'll be in the low veldt next month. I suspect Ruger will intro their own .416 round before long. A long time friend of mine works for them and mentioned "maybe" at Dallas. I'd like to see several ammo manufacturers offering .375 & .416 Ruger cartridges. Would ease a lot of minds on finding ammo for either. Look forward to your report and pics.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Tim Danklef (Chifuti) told me last week that Steve Hornady was over there with Dave Fulson, and that the lion they shot was very nice. | |||

Thanks for the update... look forward to your hunt report! 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. | |||

Sounds wonderful! Can't wait for your report and pics. That is the fulfillment of my dream for next year - 14 day hunt scheduled for August 1-14 for both tuskless and buffalo with Chifuti. My hunting partner will hunt buffalo and PG, then tag along with me for the last four days of his hunt. WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |||
