My heart, my mind, and a considerable portion of my soul make their home in Africa. I will return every year to search for them for just as long as I can. I just hope I never find them and the search continues for the rest of my days.

Well spoken, Will. Great hunt and congratulations. Wish I were there with you. Did you tell Thierry I was defiling his buffalo-stained boots by wearing them around Vegas?

Will,

Congratulations on another fine hunt. Looking forward to seeing you in Dallas.

Congratulation on your hunt.Excellent shot on the first buff and a very nice kudu.

Will
Congratulations on a great clean up hunt.
Maybe I'll meet you at the ZH booth in Dallas.

Well done, Will. Either of those two buffalo are a trophy of a lifetime. Seeing those photos has me thinking about adding a buff to my pending leopard hunt.

Thanks for taking the time to share your report with us.

Will

Will,

What a hunt. Thanks for sharing

Cracking pair of buffalo - very jealous indeed.
I had hoped to make a trip for a Buffalo in 2012 but sadly there is no chance now.

Best
Guy

Hi Will,
You may have missed this question of mine on my first post. The 2 consecutive pictures of the wildebeest in your report look like that of two separate animals and locations and you may have gotten the photos mixed-up from a previous hunt?

Agree with you Mich, certainly 2 different animals in 2 different areas with totally different type of vegetation - also I do not recall ever seeing a Wildebeest with a mane that stands erect like that of a Zebra (unless he's a young fella).

The first wildebeest - with the chevron - was shot in Zim,by me, on this hunt. It is uncharastic of the blue wb, but it occurs in a small percentage of the animals in that area.

The second animal was shot by another hunter and Thierry and I stopped by to talk while they loaded him up. So, yes, it is a different animal. However it is in the same area and was shot a day or two before I shot mine.

good stuff Will. Congrats

Outstanding Will, thanks for sharing

Great report Will.

Hunting a grand old warrior properly is as good as it gets...

Great report, two excellent Buffalo.
