That's one beast of a lion. The porcupine it also very nice, I see a whole lot of Bream Floats on his back side.

As others have said, Congrats on a big cat! Was he hunted over bait or is it spot and stalk? Would love to hear more about the hunt itself if you don’t mind sharing

Great lion. Is it exportable from Zimbabwe back to US? Curious about that as well, I remember seeing a bunch of hoopla about it a while back. Either way, congrats on a huge Simba and one heck of a trip!

Either way, congrats on a huge Simba and one heck of a trip! It appears that it can be imported at this time however there is a section in the fy2023 budget of the Interior Department that would make it illegal it import from this country if it is passed. I wonder how that would effect this as it was taken before that would go into effect but as I understand when you hunt in Africa you usually don’t receive your animals until the next year.
