Good evening Everyone,

A little preamble for you before the show season begins!

We had a wonderful year yet again with a large amount of extremely memorable hunts.
We still have a few buffalo and leopard on quota for next year so drop me a line and I'll show you our little slice of heaven here!

Enjoy the pictures and will see you all soon.

Phillip












































































































Lastly - we darted and tagged 16 black rhino this year. Luck just had it that I had one of my hunts with me and so we got to experience first hand walking up to one of these magnificent animals.






Enjoy your Christmas everyone!

Unfortunately I will not be at the Dallas show, however I will be at SCI. Drop me a line before the shows if you want to make sure we have some quota for you!

Kind Regards

Thanks for the pics, I enjoy seeing more than just the trough shots. What is the name of the blue bird, I have seen one several times and think they one of the most beautiful birds.

That is a Lilac Breasted Roller. Beautiful bird but sounds like a crow!

Neat pics but that honey badger with civet is about the coolest I have ever seen!


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!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Great trophies and experiences are all about being selective which is directly related to the area you hunt. Thanks go to all the Save Valley folk who make it a pleasure to hunt there. Their conservation efforts are astounding and the proof is in the pudding (so to speak).

Without them (and you), none of this would be possible. Sango, Senuko, Mokore, Humani, Hammond - thank you for a great season!

If anyone is on the fence about where or whether to go - Ivory Trails is as good as it gets. The Save really is a must see for any hunter or lover of wildlife and wild places. Places like this are struggling against the rising tide of human encroachment, and the best protection they can have is our interest and our $$. It is money well spent both for the life experience and as an investment in hunting and wildlife.

Phillip, you mentioned Senuko...I hunted with Glenn at Senuko in 2010 but haven’t heard much from the Stockills since then. How are they doing?


Use enough gun...

Hi TrademarkTexan,
Senuko is a fantastic place and glad you got to hunt there. We keep Glenn busy! Glenn isn't doing much hunting these days but otherwise is doing well.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Kind Regards
Phillip
