I too enjoy bushbuck and have taken all the recognized subspecies. I have a difficult time picking favorites as long as they are wild and free ranging

Honestly, three will not work for me. 22 Long Rifle - because everyone has to have one. It is magic when you are a kid 22-250 - for me the great varmint rifle 300 Win Mag - Delivers a heavy 30 cal bullet accurately with authority 416 Rigby - stops dangerous game without terrible recoil 12...

I have hunted all over Tanzania for many decades and never had a bad operator. As Phillip Glass indicated Michelle Mantheakis is a good one. Also as Scott wrote, do not miss a chance for a Roberts sometimes they take special effort to locate.

My condolences. Sorry to hear of another old timer gone, may he rest in peace

I have eaten Waterbuck and do not recall it being good or bad at least not as bad as locals cautioned me. My favorite as always is Gerenuk. As I have mentioned before the most weird was hyena backstrap. It tasted like hyena not chicken. The sauce was not bad. I have never claimed a...

IOUs Bangui not Bangue. Sorry

I have given this question a lot of thought. I have taken so many fine trophies and the adventure of hunting them all is so important that picking one out seems not to be fair to so many others. I have mentioned before the adventure is so important. Hunting is mostly a solitary...

Matter of choice. I started young, instead of fancy cars I bought hunts. Also the cost of lion, elephant, were less expensive. Today’s prices take my breath away.. the countries were wilder and more exciting. I have said before I have been a lucky man. I gritted my teeth and spent the...

I have killed a lot of buff with 416 Rigby it has always worked great

I have killed a lot of buff with 416 Rigby it has always worked fine. I have used several other calibers with no issues . The Rigby is still my go to caliber.

Cap pistol ammo

When I was a kid houses used wood stoves for heat, cooking, and hot water. This took a lot wood. Three homes shared the effort of falling three pine trees each thirty inches in diameter using a two man crosscut saw, falling wedges, double bitted axes, mauls and splitting wedges. Limbing...
