I hunted Sandy Mount with Alex Goss and it is everything you say and more. Vella is a wonderful man and great PH who guided my good friend. We both have a report on this site covering our hunt there. Would return then in an instant. Congratulations on your Sable. There are many more there!
I have for sale a very nice Winchester Model 70 Classic Stainless in 375 H&H. This model is a great gun to take on that special hunt you are planning having the composite stock and stainless steel barrels makes it almost indestructible. We purchased for and used on a Brown Bear hunt to Alaska...
When I hunted Mozambique with a different PH if we crossed a fresh elephant track while tracking buffalo the hunt stopped right there! He said the elephants there were so mean from being shot during the war that as soon as they saw or smelled humans they charged. While I was in hunting we came...
Great job with the report and so happy you had a great PH that put you onto the animals you wanted. Super nice bull! You had a great hunt and you will forget about the money but the hunt will live on! I've very happy for you. Had I known you were going on this hunt before you left I would...
I for one am happy you had a great hunt and you took some great animals. I don't doubt your honesty and I'm happy you are one of the lucky ones who had a good hunt with him. Hopefully your animals will arrive faster than mine did (3 1/2 years and only after finally giving up and posting a...
I'm glad you had a good trip. I certainly didn't when I hunted with him. I wrote a report about my trip with him and I'll stand by it. I've been lucky enough to hunt all over the world, I've had some guide that weren't great, and I've never written a negative report on anyone except Juan if...
For anyone interested the TV show we filmed while there with Alex Goss will be airing beginning on September 11 and then repeating several times. The show is American Archer on the Outdoor Channel. I filmed Joe Thomas taking a nice Sable while hunting with Alex Goss of Blackthorn Safaris. There...

Totally agree with everything you have said here. If the research is done correctly a SA hunt can be great as I had this year and my other experience in SA.
The outfitter that took me to Zim was a crook however we hunted with Lloyd who had a great reputation with super references. He got himself into a no win situation and I'll leave it at that. I hunted Zambia with Clinton Stone, booked with Jason Stone. I believe he would be considered a top...
I think some have missed my point in this thread. I have never said South Africa is better or worse than other "wild" countries in Africa. I only said there are goods and bads in both types of hunts. When some say go to Zim with a quality outfitter, I did that and every day we drove the same...
I wanted to follow up on this thread as I just returned from my trip to South Africa. I have to say I had more fun on this trip than any of my previous trips. We hunted on 50,000 acres and the place was beautiful! We hunted hard every day and found great animals which were wild. All animals...
I hunted with David on this trip and everything about it was first class. The chef provided us with the best food I've had anywhere and was great to be with as well. Animals were in the yard everyday eating the grass in the lawn. Laundry and accommodations were perfect as were the vehicles...
I just took this one with Alex Goss and Blackthorn Safaris in the Free State of South Africa. It measured 16 1/4 inches with really pretty shape. There was another ram with this one that was almost the same size. I highly recommend Alex.
Alex is a great PH. He understood from the beginning that I wanted just the right buffalo and never once tried to convince me to "settle" for less that I wanted. He was possessed to find just the right animals for me.
Let me start off this report by saying I’m not a person who likes to write, writing is not a labor of love for me, but I feel when you find a person and place that goes above and beyond every expectation you ever had for a hunt the story deserves to be told. Such is the case for me while...
