We are only a month and a half out till my third hunt in Zimbabwe. The is by far my most ambitious hunt to date and certainly has the possibility of being the most epic. Four of the biggest highlights of this hunt are:

Good evening everyone from rainy Scotland!

I am fairly new to this forum, but since discovering it have completely relied on the abundance of experience and generosity that exists here.

I served for 12 years in the British military before leaving in the summer of ‘24 and since then have been working my way through the list of things that I missed out on or deferred during that period.
