Finally made my dream hunt for tuskless and buffalo in Chewore, Zim oct/nov 2018. 10 days 1:1 with PH Richard Tabor of Buchanan hunts.
Will make a more thorough write up later - but enjoy the video first!

How is Zimbabwe generally doing these days?
Will still watch the video. But interested in how the wildlife in general is doing? And also the country itself?

Good stuff.
Excellent shooting and hunting. Like the two shots in the buffalo. A quick second anchored the bull.
BTW was that one hole or two with the ,400 in the target?
Excellent on the ele as well. First shot to the brain. The other eles ran off. More fun when they come back and chase you off.  Hope it was great fun hunting in the thick jess in the middle of herds.
Funny, the PH wearing sandals on the buffalo hunt.
Excellent glad you were able to fulfill and live your dreams.
A question. The filming, was this arranged in advance with the outfitter and you just happened to be the client, or pre-arranged with you or? Just out of interest. But a great momento to have such an excellent video record of your safari.
So when is the next one. You look the part of the Norse White Hunter in Africa too.
