My next destination is Botswana, where I`ll be hunting with Johan Calitz. His specialty is elephants and that`s why I`ve chosen Johan. I`m a big tusker short of completing my big five. But there's more on tap than just a big elephant in Botswana. I was able to snare a cherished and much sought after lion permit for Johan's prized Okavango Delta concession. It will be hard to beat the great lion I got in Masailand but let's never underestimate the greatness of Botswana's lions.
How lucky am I to get this lion permit? Johan's annual lion quota for his Delta concession is only 1. And yours truly is holding that lone lion permit. It was just last year that outfitters were allowed to resume lion hunting in Botswana. It had been shut down for several years. The added thrill of hunting lion in Botswana is that they must be tracked and not baited. Could this be the making of "The Mane Event II"
or "The Mane Event Rematch." We will see! I also have a cape buffalo on license, as well as a full contingent of Botswana plainsgame.
