When I went I decided that I wanted to go hunt Africa because one of my best friends, David hunted Africa and I wanted to hunt Cape Buffalo.

On my hunt I didn't own a double rifle. I borrowed another best friend's, Mark (400 Nitro Express)A Hollis 450/400 3 inch.

I bought my A. Hollis and Son 450/400 3 inch after I returned from Africa.

Is it worth it?
If hunting as hard as I've ever hunted for 10 days, being treated in a grand style and catered to, and having the best time of our lives for my wife and I, I'd have to YES, it was worth it.

I'm not saying that the hunt and trophies were a value, but rather the experience, the people I met and still keep in touch with, the wonderful new friends on this and other forums, sharing and learning new infromation and experiences, priceless!

Trophy hunting is a differant animal. About all you have to do is step where the PH steps, try to be quite, try not to shoot your PH in the back and put the bullet on the target where it has to be! Then you get to accept the handshakes and slps on the back when you are successful!
