Larry,

Fantastic hunt and what luck! Zambezi does do a great job. I think having Alistair Pole in the background is a great help to them.

Congrats on a great hunt Larry. Looking forward to your pictures. Especially that big buff! Man, a 46"er and a 49"er this year by our AR crew! Some great buff hitting the ground... and I leave for the Omay on the 28th. I hope you guys didn't use up all the mojo! Big Grin


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!

ARDA has been owned by the government (not a person) for a very long time. It isn't a problem.

Anton:

No sign of the elephant. Johnny thinks the client shot it with softs. He had changed ammo in the morning when they chased a kudu.

Will:

Deer hunting this weekend. Desert big horn soon. May go to Sango in 2012.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Great hunt and congrats. My first time in Africa I hunted in Zambia and Murray was filming another client. He is a great guy and that is the same trip I used Lauri Alanthwaite with Osprey as my camera man. Osprey is top notch. I have used Lauri ever since and my experience has been when you have a great camera guy it is like having another PH.

Larry,

Sounds like an outstanding hunt and congrats on the fantastic trophies.

I'm hunting with ZH in June of 2012, just after Will Parks is there, I believe.

They sound like a great outfit to hunt with and I can't wait.

Glad you had a successful trip!

Larry,
Great trophies and good narrative. What a monster buff. I was the guy you met last year at the boundary in the Save....Lion King hat...Did not go to the Save this year but in the spring went to Cahorra Basa on Mozambique side. Have not posted report as yet. Hope to hunt elephant next.
Are you going back next year? How did they do on lion in the Save this season?

Universalman:

Yes, I remember you and the hat. I thought it was hysterical. I actually thought about you as we passed the road we met you on.

I don't know about the entirety of the Save. However Zambezi shot their entire quota including a real brute with exceptional mane taken in Sango.

At this point, I am going back in 2012 in all likelihood . I have yet to make plans for 2011 other than my annual trek to Argentina.

Well done!
If I could get my 45"+ Sable in from Kazungula (aka Unit 6) in early 2004, no problem! Madam actually came to camp while I was there, escorting a load of petrol to insure my USD would be well spent...quite charming Lady....considering her husband!

I finally got an e mail today with the weight of the tusks. They are 53x50. I had estimated the weight in the 48-52 range. At least I was close.
