shows how well nature rebounds and survives. In the end though, it’s the scouting makes the difference. Assessing game conditions and pattering herd behaviors year-round enables a surgical hunt strategies.

Our experienced teammates at Caprinae Safaris led the process of identifying the area and local guides that produced this big horse of a ram. In case you’re wondering, he went 57″x 58″ with 21″ bases — the class of ram that elevates it to world’s greates trophy status.

I’ll be back in Mongoilia again in late August with Northern Argail, Gobi Argali, Gobi Ibex , and White-tailed gazelle on the radar. We will be filming the entire adventure, and there will be many clips and photos to share. Stay tuned for post around mid-September.

We are hosting a wonderful father and son team from Montana who have ventured to Africa for the first time, and they are still hunting as this post goes to press. They jumped into the deep end with buffalo on their multi-species docket.

The grass was still head high and thick as rebar on their arrival July 18th. Prior attempts at burning proved futile; the bush was so wet that it burned itself out soon after every match hit the ground. There was no choice but to find and follow a track into the maze even though the line of sight barely extended beyond 10-15 feet.

The buff pictured here fell to a .375 after a very long day and countess cautious steps into the deep. I look at this buff and marvel at the achievement. No trophy is better than the one a hunter properly hunts and kills under the uncontrollable conditions dished out by nature.
