"The mention of Jason and Nassos are synonomous with hunting excellence in Ethiopia. It's fitting that Nassos remain at number one, and his son's name and mine will now stand at number two. I'm honored to be second to a hunting legend. In many ways he was there with me, because who do you think taught Jason how to hunt? Jason was nothing short of phenomenal."

Other animals taken along the 21-day adventure included a Menelik's bushbuck, bushpig, hyena, northern Grant's gazzelle, tiang, and a southern gerenuk. But this safari will forever be defined by the monster mountain nyala. It's somewhat of a modern day phenomenon, given that most of the other top thirty were harvested in previous decades.
