Savanna 112 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 So I am from South Africa so we dont have bears, or wolves or something like that, but what is your favourite big game animal to hunt?? Mine is by far the black death...nothing beats that stare he gives you when he is 30meters away and see you...you just know it just got real...snorting and shaking his head...what a feeling 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,751 Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 The biggest game I've hunted is fallow buck, which is decidedly 'medium game' in comparison! LOL Given the opportunity I'd love to hunt Cape Buffalo with rifle and Leopard with hounds in Africa and Bear, Elk and Sheep with bow in the N.America. Please share more, Savanna! Very few big game hunters frequent this corner of the internet. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savanna 112 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have never hunted outside of Africa, but I have to say, elk is definitely on my to do list...and red deer...I am not much of a bow hunter, but I have guided clients who used bows and we had some great hunts walk and stalking buffalo... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
