ALL INCLUSIVE - except trophy fees and dip & pack (optional).

This Group Hunt will be a classic and will involve two areas and a series of camps. The professional hunters will be the renowned Adam Buske and myself hunting two teams of four. We are looking at 10 days hunting in some of the finest big game country in Africa. The combined properties can boast some 30 kilometers of pristine Kafue riverfront.

Some may not be able to afford some of the high cost species and want to come to Africa for the first time and hunt plains game. These hunters will be given priority when hunting. The trophy quality of all species is unmatched in Zambia.

Operator – ROYAL KAFUE & MUSHINGASHI
Dates – Between 20 November and 10 December. Final dates to be decided by the group.
Coordinator – Brad Cromeens (505Gibbs)

Copied that.

After extended negotiations, it has been decided that there will be no additional charge for my involvement in this fiasco. Except for you Jim, you gotta pay for the pleasure of my company.

i have had the pleasure of your company and frankly enjoyed meeting your lovely wife and enjoyed her company more- and before you dirty minded bastards read too much into it, she was just a really nice person and a great sport. sorry, Brad but you did get lucky in the wife selection category!

I want to go to Africa. I have been so close to making the plans .......

The luck probably applies to most men I know.

Now, have ever considered what bad luck the ladies got for marrying this lot?

Well, considering i have been married 4 times before i found a keeper, i have to say the selection process is iffy at best!

The trophy quality of PG is exceptional

if i wasn't just getting back from Namibia Nov 6, this would be terrific. but you should offer a discount to anyone who has to hunt with Brad! out of curiosity, you mentioned all species as being available but i don't see lechwe on the list.

Brad is in the back of the truck with the trackers.

Kafue Lechwe occur in a different part of the Kafue and it would be a bit much to do both.

I'm fairly certain "little miss" would tell you she's the lucky one.

now that is a scary mental image!

OK, keep me advised on Roan....this sounds like lots of fun and some great hunting.
I would like Puku and nice Male Blue Duiker....maybe Buff if available....and of course Tyres!!
Cheers

Looks as if the hunt will be last week of November if you can make it but can only let you know about the Roan nearer the date.

Guys,

I've been there. Your just not going to have a better opportunity for some of Africa's most sort after and unique species. Even on a 4x1 $600 a day is just a steal.

I hear pretty often "I'm going to wait for a deeply discounted deal" Well! Hello! This is it!

Mark

OK, will stand by....let me know when you need commitment for the general hunt.
Cheers,

Hi Andrew,

I forgot to ask you when we were talking about this earlier, is a charter necessary to the hunt area?

Thanks.

Roan and buff at "fire sale" prices here. Nice opportunity for someone!

No we drive in - 5 hours - and this is included in the price.

You mentioned the last week of November for this hunt- one thing to remember is US Thanksgiving- Nov 28th. Not only is this a big family traditional celebration, it is a VERY difficult time to book air, ie heaviest travel time of the year, bar none!!
Gojng to be tough for some US guys to break away....unless Mama comes along!!...and you serve Guinea Fowl with stuffing and cranberries for dinner that day!!
Cheers,

Thanks Andrew.

Granted Thanksgiving is tough for some to get away. In 2009 I took advantage of some season end pricing and hunted the week of Thanksgiving in the Caprivi. I booked the hunt and airfair on 4 to 6 weeks notice and it was the cheapest I have ever paid from Atlanta to J'burg. Connecting flights might be tough though.

BTW - I had impala chops for Thanksgiving that year.

Unfenced and you choose how it wants to die.

Andrew: You just couldn't resist the Mark Sullivan quote, could you?

i have always found a chopping block and an ax to be very effective in letting turkey decide how it wants to die

Andrew, I will send you a PM. I cannot tell for sure who is going and who is not. Also, good to see Adam Buske hunting with you. He stayed at my house several a few years ago with Bruce Watson. I would hunt with him anywhere that it is hot, but he cannot stand the cold. Ask him if he remembers Michigan in February.

Andrew,

I would suppose sitatunga quota is a bit tight but with swamp species being asked about and considering you are planning two groups of 4 and 10 days, and I figure the flats are somewhere between Lusaka and Royal Kafue, would red lechwe not be a possiblility?

Just sayin.

Regards and good luck!
