All these pictures were taken on one 21-day safari.

And from another safari ...

In the second batch of photos Bloodnut makes an appearance in one of them but who was the PH taking the credit for the first hunt ?

Curiosity killed the cat.

Damn, that's a pretty impressive Lion for the Selous.

I dunno. Probably some lucky ph who just happened upon good animals.

Gotta be lucky to shoot a Lion like that in the Selous.

Toot toot!

(That's the sound of someone's own whistle blowing... )

No-one has snapped this up yet?

Elephant could theoretically be added by those of us without import embargoes ?

Someone is nibbling on it. Has yet to take it though.

Doubt a legal Elephant could be found here.

But, yes, if one of our wonderful Canadians wanted to snap this up (even a repeat Canadian ) Elephant can be put on license.

Every year I say I just need to wait and pick up a cancellation hunt instead of booking in advance . . . and every year I have to watch hunts like this pass me by. Heck of a deal.

Bloody hell those are some beautiful eland!!

Interesting area and outfitter.

Wish I wasn't already booked. This is a deal and to hunt with Paddy would be a privilege. Very nice guy. Shared a lion-killed eland lunch with him once.

I have two hunts and my daughter's wedding coming up or I would go again. Lack of elephant would be a bummer, but a great deal.

Don't forget to budget for your own beer.
