Bongo and forest sitatunga hunt in Cameroon, Equatorial Africa. Wheels up one week from today after 3+ years of planning and preparation. Gonna be miserable - the African jungle is hot, thick, and humid. Chance to see wild mountain gorillas on this excursion. Happy hunting to all, TheGrayRider...- TheGrayRider

Statistical but not probable, every preference point holder ahead of you could drop dead before next year’s draw so you would be in the front of the line and guaranteed a tag in their preference point system. Happy hunting and good luck to all in the upcoming draws, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.- TheGrayRider
