Fantastic pictures Will, they make me really homesick, especially the ones of the bait/blind locs...

Anyone popping their head into that bow blind would have thought it a Taliban hideout!

Yes, I spot the lion, but took awhile.

Note how Mr Labat's hands don't rest easy on the ladies' shoulders now that he's a married man...Like the cats he hunts, he has retractable claws...

Love that first shot of you and the lion.

Mudini: What a decent, down to earth, hard working and courageous man. A leading poacher nabber, month in and month out during the off season when we were working for Roger Whittall. I can't tell you how many poachers we brought to book together... A good man to have at your side when the fists/sticks/rocks/pangas/bullets start flying...

Thierry: It's been 17 or 18 years, but it doesn't seem that long ago when I took a very keen young man hunting impala on Ruware in the Chiredzi conservancy, where we then lived. We didn't shoot any impala but I never rated myself as a PH and we had a lot of fun anyway...
You have come a long way in a short time my friend and the sky's the limit. I am very proud of you.

Will Parks: I salute you and the many others like you on this site who continue to hunt Zimbabwe, who have backed us through thick and thin. You guys are the reason many Zimbabweans are able to put food on the table/send their kids to school, and I thank you on behalf of country and countrymen. I also congratulate you on your incredible collection of trophies.

Zambezi Hunters: Consistent quality speaks volumes. Pure class.

David

Thinking of David and all the Hulmes.

A truly comprehensive and brilliant hunt. Very well done ! My endeavors for cats have taken me to a number of places, and it is never easy, although extremely rewarding. Thanks for sharing,

Hello Mr. Parks,

We flew together on Delta in 2012 and were clearing through in Bulawayo at the same time. The place was absolutely packed and the "officials were completely out to lunch, no paperwork, no carbon paper" Everyone was completely confused. Our group went through on a $20.00 bill plus we had the paperwork all ready.

Thanks for the information, it is very much appreciated.
