When I did Africa I had one target animal that I really wanted, Kudu, and then kind of built the hunt around that. We ended up shooting impala, blesbok, and warthog. We didn't hunt too many days as it was tacked onto another trip over there. I'd love to go back, a Nyala is the one animal I wish that I had spent more time and money pursuing.

Keep in mind once you’re there if you can’ afford it shoot because it costs time and money to go back . Went last spring for the second time , going again next year . I’d be happy to talk you you about it .

I did most of my African hunting in 1990’s when it was extremely cheap compared to now. Sable trophy fee in Zimbabwe was only $750. Cape buffalo and leopard trophy fees were only $1200 each. It was great time to hunt Africa. On other hunts in South Africa I hunted ranches up to 150,000 acres
