Outdoor writer, Mel Toponce and his wife Sandy had a great time this past November in Uganda. You can read the full report at the link below.

It looks like Uganda is still in the process of getting its hunting program together. Mel has some good tips about potential pitfalls.

You're welcome for the post. I thought Mel did a good job describing his experience.
We always like to see hunting opportunites expanded. It seems there are always enough of things going the other way.
It's a place to keep an eye on because the potential is great. Just do your due dilligence, as usual.

Is there any dangerous game offered in Uganda yet? I seem to remember leopard? What are the chances of buffalo or lion?

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

To the best of our knowledge at The Hunting Report, the only leopards hunted have been problem leopards by Kaka Matama.
No lion and no buffalo yet, but Christian Weth is hoping for a quota on the buffalo. Things are still being sorted out.

Thanks for that link Dagga Boy. It really lifted my spirits over the future of African hunting. I want to go.


STAY IN THE FIGHT!

Mel was actually telling me about this hunt not to long ago. Mel loves to use his recurve bow to hunt, but didn't bring it for fear of not having enough opportunities. He said he should have brought it because there was plenty of game. Speaks well that there are lots of animals still there to hunt.
