Just finished it this morning. A endless assortment good short experiences. Would have loved to spend nights around a fire with the author. I especially enjoyed the chapter on hunting experiences in the Sudan. He had a Robin Hurt story or two that were especially fun. Thanks again for the...

I’m still eyeballing the hole in that gemsboks face. . .

I was thinking chiggars and ticks-glad you clarified to mosquitos. What they lack in size (except in Alaska) they make up for in numbers

I liked your creativity and loved the original title!

Many of you have lever guns in your collections. I also have one but I should have two. Another gun dad gave me was an old nothing special marlin in 30-30. I killed my first deer with that little rifle. Then I had a friend who fell in love with it and I was young and foolish and broke at the...

Nice rifle Rare Breed! Thanks to the op For their patience. I appreciate the scammer input as well. I loved the rifle, just too many in the safe as it is

Welcome to the site-I would chase kudu on every trip! Good luck with your planning and preparation

Welcome sir-I have always wanted to visit the hill country of Texas. Africa is a magical place, more variety than you can imagine and all fascinating. Enjoy the research for your first safari, it’s a big part of the excitement. Don’t get hung up on a few inches of horn-all the kudu are...

Enjoyed the story and video. Any chance you could show us the game your friend took?

This thread went exactly how I expected it to. . . Contact your ph, find out what he recommends, then send us a report and pictures of the animals you take. It is very likely they will all have n entry hole and an exit hole so please wash the blood off before the pix. Best of luck OP
