Marius, Kappie and I chased game throughout South Africa. We had a blast-as in Rigby double .470 N.E. blast! I took another eland, two buffaloes, zebra and a lioness all with my .470. The clips will be available on a video coming sometime soon!

The top highlight of my 2006 safari season was that I reached a milestone with dangerous game. With a precisely executed broadside brain shot to an elephant on May 10th I finished my big five. I was hunting with PH`s Johan Calitz and Garth Robinson in Botswana and the elephant's tusks weighed 60 and 61 pounds. That was one of the headlines of my most recently completed safari. The other big news is that I got another lion!

Yes another lion---in the Okavango Delta. When I first set out on this safari I told Johan that I would not shoot a Botswana lion unless he was equally comparable to my great Tanzanian lion. And while he couldn't make any guarantees Johan said, "Bwana Moja, I will do the best I can."
