You would love it there. You don't have to hunt in order to appreciate the beauty of the natural surroundings. It is like being at the zoo but without any fences or other enclosures. Besides, you get away from the heat we have been having here in Oklahoma City and there in Sherman. That alone is worth the trip!
Hope all is well with you and Donald.

That is the best hunt report i have read on this website. Excellent. It really made the reader feel like they were there.
I head off to Zim in a few weeks for my first buff. It will be with a .375 but i figure it as a warm up for the bow safari in the future!

Have a great time Tom. Where are you going, and who are you hunting with? You will have a great time. Doing it with a bow is definitely a much greater challenge than with a rifle. Of course, I still don't have a buff with a bow and arrow.

Good to hear from you. If I had room for two bows, my lighter one would have been the Holm-Made Osprey two piece with Bow Bolt that you built me. I even bought a second Safari Tuff Gazelle 2 piece takedown bow case to pack it in for the trip. But I was short on space, and as it turns out I had one more bow than I needed, even with just the Shrew! Oh well, it gives me a good excuse to go back and try again, just like planning my next hog hunt after striking out on the hunt with you where you got one after I left. I'm glad you enjoyed the account of my trip. There is no hunting I like as well as what I get to do in Africa. It is a magical place.
