I have been very lucky to have been to Africa 10 times. I have a nice trophy room with some wonderful animals which I have the pleasure to share with many people. I am always asked how hard is it to take these animals? It is common among many African hunters to tell of the great difficulty of the hunt! This is how I explain it; some of these animals are collected and some are hunted. Animals such as springbok, blesbok and various others can be glassed from 250 yards and then shot. The problem is not seeing a specimen but looking for a good trophy. To me this does not constitute a hard hunt even though it can take you several days of glassing to find a good trophy. You can compare this to my Cape Eland which I along with my ph and tracker hunted for 6 days. Each day we found tracks and followed for up to 8 hours non stop, finally taking it around noon on the 6th. I also have been lucky to have spent 60 something days in the rain forest in Cameroon with a good friend of mine. I have caught 17 bongo with the pygmies and there dogs, some were bayed after 30 minutes of tracking and then I took a good one after striking track at 9 a.m. and finally getting a shot at 3:45 p.m.

All of this is to state that some animals in Africa can be easily collected and others can make you pull your hair out, loose 15 pounds, strain at the altitude but finally give you great joy!
