I totally forgot to post this here. It’s a video from last October in the Selous with a cast of characters from here on AR. Enjoy… Tanz Video

Nice. Good to see Luke Samaras. How old is he these days? Looks like he still enjoys the bush.

. . . Luke is 77 and in great shape for his age.

Well put together video.

Looks like a great hunt with some nice trophies.

Special group of PH's to spend time with.

Thanks for sharing the memories.

Luke Samaras and Gerard Miller- two legends. And Mr. Shallom, he's really good as well!

Many years of experience in that team. A very fine gentlemans safari and equally fine shooting from the group. Well done.

Good times with great friends...

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.

I've been thinking I need to go back to the Selous for some time now. That video convinced me I do.

Haven't been there since 2008. Loved the old smooth buffalo. Awesome trophies regardless of width.

There's a spring in Lukwati called the Gerard Miller spring. Always a lot of elephant and buffalo sign there. Hung a lion bait there, can't remember which year -- wasn't last year -- but never got a hit. Love the area though.

Wonderful video, Tim, thanks for posting it. Great group, glad I had a chance to meet everyone at Seacliff the evening before you arrived. Quality people all around.

Really excellent video! Thanks Tim!

Luke and Gerard, two PHs I would absolutely love to hunt with.

Tim, I sure enjoyed this excellent video. Thank you!
Looks like very enjoyable/exciting bush/vegetation to hunt in. Some time you can see 100 yds or more, some times not. Fun to sneak from tree to tree.

I saw good shooting by everyone on wonderful buffalo. I was impressed with Mike's spine shot to finish his first buffalo on the ground. Off-hand right on the spine. Good work!

I am going watch this one again.

Great Video. I was just thinking about going back to Africa today!!! I have to move to Florida first thou.

Wonderful video depicting hunting for buffalo and plainsgame in a fully stocked area. Hunting buffalo in the wide open can you image? What a treat that would be to have such an open line of sight! I gotta say though, not getting that blue eland bull on the way back to camp omg !!!!

Congrats to all parties involved

Rigby Big Game compared to Luke's older Rigby.

Very good! Thanks gentlemen. Unless my eyes deceive me that looks to be a BRNO action on his Rigby. Good stuff.

And to add, if that is a later Roberts-era Rigby, it was probably made (at least stocked) by Mark Renmant, who is currently at Rigby.
