safari-lawyerI talked to Tom in JNB as well as in ATL. To say he was pleased with his leopard safari would be an understatement. He gave every aspect high marks . . . including the food.

I think you would be safe hoping for a 40 - 50lb bull, anything over that would be a bonus!

Tom gave me a 45 minute hunt report over the phone. Without question he was more impressed with the chef/food than anything, including shooting the leopard at 20 yards?

Will - Tom told me today he was 7'4", and they figured roughly 160lbs.
Frank - I'll check on the "bait only" animals.

zzzThat 46" Chirisa soft boss I saw there years ago is probably a monster now.

zzzWow - I hope someone is taking advantage of this. I know Phillip and have hunted with him and I have hunted Chirisa previously with HHK.
I would be there myself if I wasn't leaving for Zim on the 27th.
