Pro Safaris Africa - Zimbabwe

The best hunting trip I have ever been on!  Spike and Louis certainly n=know their stuff! Tinney wasnt bad either.  Hyena baiting is a 'Poor man's Leopard Hunt'.  Everything you need to do to shoot one of these critters is the same as you need to do a to bag a leopard, but without the price tag.  On our second visit to the bait, after I had already shot a Hyena, we watched a Leopard feeding for 20 minutes - and I had him in my scope for at least four killing shots.  I will never forget the two Hyenas that I shot on this trip.  I could, and probably will write a couple of magazine articles about the trip, as there is too much to say about it in this short comment.  I went to the trouble of taking two rifles on this trip - my .375 Dakota, and myRemington .458 Lott.  I probably could have shot every animal with the .375 but the .458 Lott is my favorite heavy rifle and I wanted to use if for something big.  I am extremely pleased with the performance of both rifles and cannot make up my mind which to take next.
