I hunted the same area for my first cape buffalo in 1994 with Graham Hingesten. Enjoyed re-living my hunt by reading your report. Thank you. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

Great Hunt report, love the fact that you can enjoy chasing mature age animals and have no need for a "measure up" after the fact!! Got to love that Ele hunting, got my first a few months back and can not wait to go again. Africa is truly a special place to hunt. Scott  | |||

Congratulations on the realization of a lifelong dream! Well done! 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.

Judge G, I had read your earlier post about hunting the mopane and when we went there I wondered if it was the same place. It is a beautiful spot. The whole experience was one that I will never forget. "The difference between adventure and disaster is preparation."

It is a very humbling experience to harvest such a massive old creature and my emotions were quite solemn. I don’t think that anyone other than another hunter will ever understand the conflicting emotions of joy and sadness that are felt after taking the life of such a magnificent animal. 100% true.I't takes a moment to get smile on face for the photos... doesn't it... Very fine story. Congrats! | |||

That was absolutely outstanding! The hunt, your shooting and the manner in which you told the story. I was there with you. That I had been in that camp and seen those vistas a few years ago served to make it that much more "real" for me. Great GREAT job!
