Johnny ZanniHippo
I heard that they were ganna make it part of the Big 5 which then would be called the Big 6.
Has that happened and if so do they call it the Big 6 now, I still hear Big 5.

BwannaBig 5 still exists. It's the "dangerous 7" that includes hippo and croc.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. 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......

L. David KeithJohnny, They comprise the family of pygmy Antelopes. Generally referred within SCI records programs, it is completion of trophies consisting of: Oribi, Steenbok, Duikers, Klippies, Dik-Dik etc. Another catch phrase; Grand Slam, Big 5 etc. Hope this answers your question.
Good hunting,
David

Johnny ZanniThanks David, just a few more things i wish to hunt in africa seeing as the Big 5 is out of my range

LandrumSomeone should comission Holland & Holland to make a Royale for the 22 Hornet and then go on a "Tiny 10" safari with his new double. Now that would be a hoot.
Landrum

22 March 2008, 00:52

L. David KeithGreat idea Landrum, but make it in .223 to avoid import problems. Certain countries are getting funny about lower foot pounds/energy and rimfires, etc. That would be one cool double!

Johnny Zanniwell i will have to find a .223 double then

Alaska HunterYou guys are a hoot. What a great idea. 22 size double.
A small drilling would work but a true double, that would be great.
Myself I'm really interested in the Tiny 10 to the point of making it a priority for all future hunts.
This July in Mozambique along with lion & buffalo I bought licenses for 4 minitures.
I've been thinking about South Africa again just for 7 others, nothing else.
A few years ago I hunted Zim twice about 7 months apart. The first trip my PH said he had a client coming for 2 animals a elephant and grysbuck. When I returned and asked about that hunt the response was no problem with the elephant but 2 weeks of hunting they had one fleeting view of the miniture. Those animals are a challenge.
