Just got back from Tanzania where I hunted in our Lolkisale Area all of July. I had the priveledge of hunting with two my clients during this time and we had a great time taking some great trophies. I will NOT post all of the pictures from the entire month, but will post a lot of the ones that I thought were the best.

That is a beautiful lion.In fact all are fine specimens.

As to the ladies in the photo.I could not understand if you are saying that it is your wife and assistant or is it the clients wife and assistant.I am sure it matters not either way and do not know why I ask except out of curiousity.

Great trophies and photos!

That is indeed an awesome lion Adam, congrats, and nice Grant's and lesser kudu too. And might I add that the girls also look mighty fine!

My Tommy full-mount is done, just need to pick it up and I'll post some picts.

Regards, Bill

Great lion and super photos...


Mike

Great photos, Adam.

What great hunts those must have been. Thanks

Of all the antelope I think I like the Grant's (or Robert's) the best

Thanks guys and glad you enjoyed the pictures. All the other clients in the other camps also took some great trophies and will post all new pictures on my website as I gget them in during the season.

Here are a couple of other pictures from some of the community development and anti-poaching as well during July. We have a very strong Anti-poaching force and we are always doing community projects. We believe that education is a top priority along with medical clinics and what we concentrate on the most for a long term effect.

Here is one of our anti-poaching units after catching illegal wood cutters.


Here is a classroom we completed in July

Adam any resolution on the Fees?

Bob, you know as much as I do my friend right now. No reselution yet and everything is just rumors and speculation at this point. Everyone should just sit tight and wait until we get some facts and something is put into stone for us to go by. I do not think that there will be any changes for this year, but will be changes starting next year. Once we get the facts on what will happen I will personally send out a letter to all of our clients who are booked and explain everything that is new and we will go from there according to what is handed down to us from the Wildlife department. Until then, everyone should be patient as nobody has any concrete answers right now.

safari12,what are the chances of taking a buff like that in the picture?

Thanks Adam-no sweat just the first time I have been able to communicate with you directly and after being " in country" I thought you might know something more. Have you any current hunts on in LU 5?

shootaway - the buff in the picture was 43" and change and is what our average size normally goes for the year. Last year our average size on Buff was 43.5" from everything taken. The smallest buff taken last year was 38" and the largest was 49". So far this year in July from Lobo and Lolkisale has been 2 40" - 2 41" - 3 43" and 3 44". One was wounded and lost which was said to be 46". So yes very good possibility to take a nice 43" Buff during a 10-day hunt.

Bob - had a leopard hunter in LU5 in July who took a nice leopard along with 1 42" Buff and 2 37" Buff as well as the other plains game. Also had a 2x2 finish end of July taking 3 Buff and just had a 2x2 10-day finish today, but do not know what they took yet.

The Mahenge block is showing to be a great place this year so far and the first hunter in there just left. He was on a 10-day Buff hunt and took his 2 Buff and plains game in 4-days and left early.

Thanks Adam as you might expect I am really looking forward to it!! Take care!

Adam,
Some excellent trophies... especially the lion! However, my favorite picture has to be the game cam picture of the leopard in the tree with the hills in the background... really nice.

Impressive pics and a full jam safari. I can't imagine what it costs in 2007 to hunt mained lion, trophy elephant, buff and plains game on the same trip.

Great pic of the ladies and the elephants, and good on you for helping with the school. It really hit me when I was in South Africa, that the only hope that place has for longterm stability and peace is education of the black youth.

Adam,

Thanks for the photos; they tempt me to think about the 21 day full bag! The lion, leopard and Lesser Kudu were great! Did Steve bag a Masailand elephant or did you fly him down to LU5 for his bull? I did not know you had any quota for elephant in Lolkisale?

Russell is right, that leopard shot is awesome. Is the cuddeback time correct? 1:28 PM. Mid day?!

Keep up the great work. I look forward to hunting with you folks at Bundu again one day.
Hugh

Good work. Remind us a little about your school projects.

Adam, thanks for sharing with all of us.

Adam,
Looks and sounds like July was a good month. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Jeff

Excelent photos ,thank you for sharing with us.We are inside the house with clients visting the forum because outside its too windy and cold and we suspended a partrige hunting .Juan

Thanks guys and glad you enjoyed the pictures.

Hugh and Russell - That female leopard was feeding on that bait and I got over 250 pictures of her in that tree. There some big male tracks there, but he never fed. Yes that was 1:38 pm and have many more pictures of her during all hours of the day.

Allen,

We do a tremendous amount of school projects along with medical and water projects in the communities in or around our areas. It is a very frustrating process though as it is a never ending project and there is always more to do and the Masai people are always asking for more no matter how much you do. I would say that in the last 3 years we have spent well over $300,000 on projects and that does not include the amount we spend on our Anti-poaching teams. So, we put a lot back into our areas and clients should know that we do what we say and the money we charge does go back into the areas. It would be nice if the government would acknowledge the companies that do care about the areas and do look after them though, and even once in awhile stand up to the law and help stop illegal activities like illegal photographic companies taking advantage of the areas illegally. We have to follow the law, but I guess others get a free pass and just part of doing business in Africa. It is nice to see the happy faces though on the people and children that we are helping and making a difference with, and hope that others are doing the same. Educationg the people is just as important as managing the wildlife. If anyone is interested in getting our newsletter on our projects, just send me an e-mail.
