i hunt and stay with friends who know people who own land- hunting ranches and use their rifles at it can be PITA getting your rifle and ammo there as paper work- transpartation enter into it. i have brought hides back, but they have had to be tanned and brought back the next year with papers. the buffalo was shot above the red line and stayed there, the the other animals were given to the land owners and my friends, i have shot kudu, waterbuck, orix, both black-blue weildibeast, zebra, brown blesbuck, dikker, impala, monkey, genuie fowl and worthog along with the buffalo and elan shot this year, i would have liked to get a red hartibeast but it was not in the cards, maybe on the next trip. i,m 71 and in good shape, but not a super hero and i got tired and took small brakes during the stalks, maybe three to five miles a day, the elan was the hardest to hunt it took two and a half days to get a decent shot at the one i killed,i had seen seven before that but no shot was taken. the buffalo hunt was not as bad as the elan hunt and i used a 1921 MS in 9.3x62 on the buffalo and i thought that was realy neat. things are changing in africa on hunting as the bunny huggers think they know better on preserving animals and seem to winning the battle in most counties there. eastbank.
