Wonderful outcome! I love the historic memorabilia sprinkled about and the thought you put into decorating and accessorizing. It’s a comfortable looking, inviting space, a place to share stories for sure.
My first Safari was in the Gwaai Valley in 1986 with Chris Van Wyk of Nemba Safari. I had the pleasure of hunting with Harrie Bennie for Cape Buffalo while on that trip. Unfortunately, the photo of me and Harrie is packed away and I cannot easily get to it.
The Gwaai was an amazing place...

Ricardo was a dear friend of mine; I was absolutely devastated when I received the news of his passing. Not only was he one of the most accomplished bowhunters of modern times, but he was also a passionate wildlife conservationist.

Being homebound for a couple of weeks after knee replacement surgery, I finally got out and picked up the Bansner 7MM WBY I purchased from Will. It arrived exactly as described and I am anxious to get it to my range.
Thanks again Will
it was a cull hunt. Dave offered a couple of
Options here on the forum earlier this year. 1x1 10 days 10 zebra $6000 or
2x1 10 days 20 zebra $10,000
He worked up a hybrid deal for me being a 3x1

Thanks @buck wild I’m glad you enjoyed it. There is only one hunting area open in the country. The livestock should not be there but are property is nomadic herdsmen that move in and out.
We won’t be at San Antonio TTHA but my son did Houston and we will be in Ft. Worth.
Thanks, The thought entered my mind….Not really!
My daughter will take the two she shot, I am doing a shoulder mount on one, giving some as gifts and will use some for furniture. I found a South African guy now in Ft. Worth, Texas that makes custom furniture.
Day 10
We chose to get up a little later today, so we got out of camp closer to nine. A beautiful winter morning, blue sky and comfortable temperature. As we drove we saw a variety game and we didn’t have a target specie but out to see what the bush has to offer.
Close to eleven we were...
Day 9
Wake was for 6:30, I woke about 5:40 and lay in bed saying my prayers of thanksgiving to be in the special place with my wife and daughter.
A cool morning after the wind shifted to the South and a brief rain in the night, something very unusual for this time of year.
We left camp around...
Day 8
I woke with first light while Jordan and Deb slept in a bit. I took them coffee and got ready for the day. The plan for me is to go back to the same waterhole as last night since there has been a lot of Zebra activity there. I overdid it the first half of the hunt and my bad knee is...
Day 7
Out of camp at eight we are going to split up and hunt two different water holes. Bosman and I got to our spot a little before nine and by nine fifteen he had the hide ready and we settled in for the morning.
A quiet morning, the first thing to show up was a sow Warthog with four...
Day 6
I awoke shortly after six and went for coffee. The girls started to stir just before seven so I went and got coffee for them.
The plan today is check one of the grassy areas then go sit at a waterhole until one o’clock.
Once in the open area we saw Blue Wildebeast, Impala and...
Day 5
I woke up early this morning and went for coffee shortly after six. Debra and Jordan were up by 6:30 and we plan to leave camp at 7:30.
About a quarter to nine we spotted some Zebra so Dave and Jordan were off in quick pursuit. The bush is fairly sparse in this large grassy area so the...
Day 4
Up and out today a little late, we finally left camp shortly after eight.
As we drove, the animals were fairly active and we saw White Rhino, Giraffe, Impala, Blue Wildebeast and Warthog.
Around 9:40 I suggested we stop and have breakfast sandwiches that Kumbulani packed for us...
Day 3
Up at six to be out at seven it was a colder morning today. The animals weren’t moving much for the first couple of hours.
As the morning progressed, we started seeing Impala, Blue Wildebeast, one Black Rhino, and Giraffe. Cruising down the road shortly after 10 I spotted a Zebra off...
Day 2
I set my alarm for 6:30 and went for coffee. We headed out just after 7:30 and started to see game right away. More Rhino, Giraffe, Kudu and Impala. We came to a more open area and spotted Tessebe, Warthog and Impala. After a couple of hours we spotted the first herd of Zebra. Kenan...
Day 1
We said our goodbyes to Tania in Thabazimbi and loaded up with Dave’s PH Kenan Van Wyk.
It was an hour plus drive to Atherstone Reserve and we enjoyed the scenery as we inched closer to the Botswana border.
Once we arrived at the reserve, Kenan signed us in with the guard and we...
