About Bill Lemon
Bill Lemon was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Zimbabwe, a life he continued to pursue and enjoy to finally achieve a lifetime dream of owning his own Game Ranch. Unfortunately it was a dream short-lived, as he became one of the victims of land designation in Zimbabwe. He was a member of the special forces during the bush war and was a keen sportsman who excelled in the discipline of rugby at which he represented his country from 1970 to 1980.
Big Game Hunting
Bill was part of a small band of hunters who, in the early seventies, in conjunction with National Parks, was tasked with the responsibility of eradicating thousands of Buffalo in the South East and West of the country in an attempt to control" Foot and Mouth disease" in Cattle.
Bill is the Professional Hunter you want to introduce to your grandchildren as a legend in the African bush and to your wife as the man who will take you safely through whatever the African bush has to throw at you.

He is a life member of Dallas Safari Club as well as an active member of Safari Club International and the Professional Hunters Association of South Africa.
