I didn't forget your request, but I was not the right person to ask. Although I have visited Africa on multiple occasions, they were not all hunting trips. However I did ask three people who have hunted Africa all their life.
They said:
most difficult is a hard one to answer as there are so many different species, countries, varied habitat, hunting styles ( free range vs game farm or water hole blinds) However, in general, the small stuff always is difficult, simply because it is small--ie: Klipspringer, Blue Duiker, Cape Grysbok, Pygmy Antelope, Royal Antelope, etc. A free range walk and stalk Kudu can be very challenging. But several animals on a free range walk and stalk hunt can be a challenge.
Most hunted. This is easier to answer as there are records that help answer this question. wart hog, impala, wildebeest, are almost always harvested. Kudu is also a well hunted animal simply because almost everybody wants one.
Most hunted dangerous game is Buffalo.
Now your turn;
Those who have hunted Africa. Which of the animals you hunted proved to be the most challenging ? If you return, what other animals that have not hunted, would you like to hunt ?
Those who have not hunted Africa, but want to; What animals do you think about harvesting?
