The kudu feed and move about only in the early morning hours, the late afternoon or deep into the night, making them even harder to spot. During the heat of the day they rest in bushy thickets.

A conspicuous white patch can be seen on his throat. There is also a white bar on his lower neck. The white chevron between his velvety eyes and the white area around his mouth give character to his dark face. Running down his neck, shoulders and back is a short, white mane. His head is crowned with two triple twisted horns that gracefully spiral upward and outward.

I have never been to Africa, but have dreamed of going on safari since I was a wee child. I am thinking that once my son out of college(in 7 yrs hopefully), I can take him on a trip. To answer your questions...

1)Cape Buffalo
2)Kudu, Sable, Eland, Gemsbok, Bongo, Nyala

I can't say that I am interested in taking Lions or elephants, and definitely not Zebras. None of these species has ever held an attraction as a game animal to me. I would, however, consider taking a Leopard. I think that would be a cool hunt.

1 - Sable and Derby Eland

2- Cape Buffalo in July 2010 and who knows what sundries I'll get at the same time. I should start giving that some thought.

1) What African animal would you like to hunt if money, time, or place was not a factor?
One of each. :)
2) What African animals do you plan on hunting in the future?
Sable, warthog, maybe leopard, and any antelope found in the area that I'm hunting that I haven't already shot.

Cape buffalo, eleaphant, leapord, lion, hippo, SWAPO, and plains game. Forgot to mention bongo, that seems like a awesome hunt.

I'd love to stare down a charging Dugga Boy with a double rifle in hand, waiting for that final rush of adrenalin to clear the head and steady the hands...
I have a long list of animals I'd like to hunt there, as many of the spiral horned antelope as I could find, the bigger ones first - Darby's Eland would be great, Nyala, Kudo of course. The Bongos look beautiful, but I don't know if I'd like to hunt in those hot conditions, maybe I could be persuaded. I don't think I'd chase the big cats or the Elephants, for some reason they just don't appeal to me (and they're ridiculously expensive regardless). A Zebra rug is something I've always wanted...
One of these days...one of these days.

Does Africa have Pheasant, Chukar, Grouse? Dove? Should I bring my shotgun with my upland stamp?

1)The list would be endless if money and time were no object, but the top ones would have to be lion and leopard. I got a thing for hunting cats I guess.

2) Heading to Cameroon in May 2010 in search of Bongo, Forest Sitatunga, Dwarf Buffalo, and any three of the following. Giant Forest Hog, Bush pig, Peters Duiker, Blue Duiker, Bay Duiker, Civet and whatever else may present itself.

Bzzboyz, where are you hunting in Cameroon, Faro up north, our Boumba-Lobeke in the southeast? I have a friend who hunted Faro last May, and he took a fabulous Bongo. Also, saw many lowland gorillas.

For me, if money and time were no object, a 28 day full bag safari to Tanzania, focusing on big maned old lion, a very big buffalo and a heavy elephant.

My next safari will most likely focus on buffalo, as they are one of my all time favorite animals to hunt, and a hell of a lot less expensive than either lion or elephants. Whatever else I hunt will depend on where we go, hopefully a chance to shoot a good eland will be part of it.

I'd really like to take 1 more lion in my life, but I'd like to take a 100 pounder even more!

In the southeastern rain forest. I'm definately taking the good camera. Hoping to get some good shots with the camera as well of some old Silverbacks and Forest Elephants.

I'd like to go after a big bull elephant in Botswana. Another try for a heavily maned Tanzanian lion would be nice, too.

None. If I can't bring it home and eat it I don't see the point in hunting it. I love to hunt and kill but if I can't bring it home and eat it I don't see the point in killing it unless it is a predator of some sort.

You can't bring it home, but nothing says you can't eat it. Pretty much all we ate the two weeks we were in camp is what we killed. The rest went to absolutely no waste. All of it was consumed by the locals. The Bakas waste nothing. The only thing left on the ground of my Bongo was the contents of it's stomach.
