Some folks hear the word RANCH and pannic! One must keep things in perspective here. RANCH simply means private property! The Buffalo on the Bird ranch are no different from the buffalo anyplace in Zambia, and you will earn your trophy there. Additionally, you will not find any "HEALTHY" poachers on the Bird ranch. I have not hunted the Kosonso area, but it certainly is not indicative of the rest of Zambia, if it is full of poachers.

I agree with Ray, what ever Peter Bird tells, you can take to the bank, and his Brother, and nephew, are stand up guys as well!
