Booked another water buffalo hunt with Lorenzo in July/05. I suspect that my hunting partner on the last hunt will be going also .. I believe that Lorenzo would like to take out four or five hunters a year after them .. Anyone else interested ??? Read my thread and see what you think ...

Also a chap from Northern Alberta is interested. I suspect that this kind of hunt is for folks that have hunted cape buffalo and want another experience ... or have hunted the big sweepers of the Northern Territory and also want another experience with a different varmint .. The price is 1/2 of a cape buffalo approximately which never hurts ... Being that I was charged by mine .. and the two guides were flat out charged the day I left by a cow and a bull .. luckily they were on horseback .. it might also appeal to someone who just likes to hunt dangerous game ... I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is a poor shot ... anyone can make a bad shot, of course, I'm talking about a person who doesn't shoot good ... These suckers are not to be trifled with ... (Sounds like I'm still jumpy !!!)

How much?

That is of huge interest to me, that question, of course ... Near the end of the hunt I asked Lorenzo ... He felt that to make it worth while .. they would have to charge $3,500 each .. 2x1 ... That would be all inclusive from airport pickup .. to dropping back off at the airport a week later .. Food, accomodations, guides, guns, trophy fee for one buffalo .. If a person wanted to whack a zillion doves/ducks or whatever .. I believe the shot shells are about $10 a box ... When I e mailed him to tell him that I was coming back we never even talked price .. He has been more than fair with me .. a real gentleman .. Something I would also like to be known as but with my shifty eyes no one makes the assumption .. Anyways, I think that is what he is going to charge .. Send him an e mail if you're interested ... That would be about a week hunt ... They have some really interesting wildlife in that part of the world .. and the airfare from here in Canada was only $1,500 Canadian .. 1/2 the price of my beloved Africa !!!

It seems I have an agent in Canada



Thanks Richard, with ten more like you I will not be able to work at the office



By the way, maybe you know someone who can help me with IVF for cattle embryos??



Thanks again, but don't think this will avoid you from my comments if you ever ask me again to walk at night in buffalo country!!



Un abrazo

Where do you fly to?
What are the best dates?

I flew from Calgary/Dallas/Buenos Aires .. and then the little 29 minute hop over to Montevideo .. Up to buffalo country was a 6 1/2 hour drive .... With the reversed seasons ... I have now hunted in late July and in April .. April was rather hot for a few days as they went into their autumn ... I picked both April and July as I'm a school teacher and that is when I'm off. One nice thing about that place .. don't have to worry about malaria and taking larium ... A huge plus for me ... Can even drink the water ... although the Uruguayan beer is great ...Big Bottles !!! It also might be better to go before me .. 'cause I fully intend to shoot an ancient old bull .. and if a person goes earlier .. it'll still be around ... Ha! Ha!

Thanks to Ed your backup will be better armed next time but the problem is that he will want to wack some big bulls before 2005!!
Don't worry, I will convince him to leave some big cows for you

Every time I get you injured or just put you in harm's way your comments do tend to be curt. I'll be satisfied with a cow buffalo if you will be satisfied with a tip in Zimbabwe dollars .. ???

If they change the law and let you import your own big bore rifle, I'm going on this trip.

What rifles have you got for rent/borrow Lorenzo?

Gentlemen,
I'm talking with the Colonel in charge of guns importation and regulations, maybe I can solve this problem but I can't promise it. Here we have a 416 rigby (maybe two ) and a 9,3x62.

If someone wants more information just send me an e-mail.
Thanks for your interest.
Lorenzo
