firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted September 30, 2010 In less than a week Scotty will be partaking in a "old school" adventure.... Returning to the days of Roosevelt, Capstick and Ruark. He will be chasing some big ole angry dugga boys with a doule rifle chambered in the classic 470 nitro express. Good luck Scott. Shoot straight and remember two triggers!

Kilimanjaro Report post Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks guys for the well wishes! 4 days and counting to take off! It should be a wonderful trip. Back to Zimbabwe hunting cape buffalo with my double. Will be hunting a few other species as well while there. A couple of good mates are going along too and are hunting a whole slew of critters.. buffalo, giraffe, kudu, etc, etc, etc... I am as excited about this hunt as any I've ever gone on. Hope to have a good report on the return! Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chukar Plucker Report post Posted October 6, 2010 Some people cringe when you talk about harvesting giraffes but if i ever am lucky enough to get the chance to i sure would not pass it up. I think it would make a awesome rug... down the hallway into a living room or great room... good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kilimanjaro Report post Posted October 7, 2010 Count down to 8 hours til we head to the airport! On the topic of giraffes, they are a game animal over there just like the buffalo, kudu, impala, etc.. and where we are going in Zimbabwe, they are THICK with them.. They are so plentiful in fact, they offer them for a greatly reduced trophy fee.. They are good fun to hunt (tougher than any buff) that feed alot of folks when one is down and cut up. Here's a big old bull I took back in '06.. I may try for another one if I get my buffalo early in the hunt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 Just got off the satelite phone with Scott... He killed a big, old, worn down bull a few days ago as well as a big Klipsringer and a Grysbok. Rich also killed a 57" Kudu. They are waiting for the Spotted Hyena other than that they are done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
