Re: Lioness as a hunting trophy

I recently had the good fortune to take a beautiful
lioness on my last safari in Zimbabwe. It just happened
that one became available on quota (which is strictly
monitored) so I obviously spoke up.

My PH, who has quite a bit of experience, prefers to hunt
lioness over their male counterparts. He thinks they're
more alert, aggressive & overall more exciting to hunt.
I can personally verify the exciting part!! However I have
never hunted the males to compare this part.

As luck would have it, I had my Lancaster 450/400 NE
Double with me when we spotted the pair of lioness' in the
tall grass. We were able to stalk to about 45 yards,
primarily because they were preoccupied with a group of cow
elephant & their calves on their other side. My adrenal glands
were in high gear at this point

She was actually a large lioness, 22 1/2" skull, with
quite worn canines. My PH felt she was on the downhill
side of her career & not long from becoming dinner for a
mob of hyena.

For me, stalking that lioness in tall grass with a 1911
Lancaster Double on a cool African morning created a
memory that won't fade quickly. I highly recommend it
to everyone!!
