Driftwood,

Sounds like you and I are in the same boat. Last January I booked a 21 day hunt with Usangu Safari in Tanzania. I will be there Sept 1-21 this year. Prices keep getting higher and higher every year and I thought if I was ever going to get a Lion I had better do it now. While Tanzania is not the cheapest place to hunt, I wanted to give myself the best possible chance for the best possible trophy that I could. This will be my second trip to Africa. My first was in Zim 2X1 Cape Buffalo and plains game. I am hooked. A buffalo charge from 15 yards. Died at our feet. 2 458 lott and 2 416 rem shots were needed.
