I'm just the opposite. I was lucky enough to kill a Limpopo bushbuck on my first trip to South Africa, then on my second trip to Africa I got a Chobe bushbuck on the last day of my Zimbabwe hunt, and on my third trip to Africa I got a Cape bushbuck while hunting in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
However, I didn't kill a warthog until my fourth trip to Africa. I saw plenty of warthogs on every trip, and even saw some monsters, but just couldn't get a good shot.
Here at home a mountain lion and a grizzly bear have been my hard luck hunts. I had tags for both for many years, and have seen both in the woods, but either not while hunting or as for grizzly bears, after they quit selling tags. Those are also very difficult animals for DIY hunts.
