    Elephant -Buffalo hunt in Caprivi

    Caprivi is a great place to do a proper elephtant hunt, have a great experience, see lots of elephant, and be apart of giving lots of much needed meat to local comunities. Did a 14 ele hunt there in 2016 would love to go back.

    My First Safari

    On that first Safari I took both a Mountain Reedbuck and a Common Reedbuck. We used the same tactics for both of these reedbuck and that was to setup and glass. We glassed some valleys for the Common and were glassing some ridges for the Mountian both hunts reminded me of hunting Mule deer in...

    My First Safari

    The Southern Impala was my second African antelope I was lucky to take on the first safari. I don’t remember how this hunt all unfolded or how many I might have missed beforehand but what I do know is that it’s made a Safari hard to not take the opportunity to take one of these amazing antelope...

    That is awesome! Congrats to both of you on that deal, I think in this day in age with people saying we shouldnt be driven by things has took this goal setting away from the younger generation for parents and kids. I like hearing stories like this.

    My First Safari

    While hunting our Blesbok we never struggled to find them as on these cattle farms they were everywhere however I struggled in making it happen on many opportunities. This was my first big game hunt I had no real-life experience of getting on the animal and making it happen, so a few good...

    My First Safari

    After the caracal was loaded, we were back off to camp to finish a light breakfast then go to the range to shoot the camp rifles as ours had not arrived with us in Africa. Now I’m not going to lie and say I remember the exact calibers these camp rifles were, but I believe the one I ended up...

    New Weatherby Rifle

    I'm a bit young being born in the 90's to have all the cool stories like you all above abut dreaming of a Weatherby but I really enjoyed reading all your comments. I'm not a huge caliber nut and haven’t had any desire to dig into the latest and greatest rounds I’ve learned a lot about them...

    We had just began to sit down for breakfast that first morning and I’m not even sure if the full group was at the table yet from sorting what gear had arrived out from the missing bags, long days of travel, and late night we had just had but I was just about to indulge in a bowl of cornflakes...

    We had arrived very late into Port Elizabeth and upon arriving we come to find that all our rifles and a bag each are still in Atlanta. Luckily, we had enough bags to have clothing to hunt in. (This was when we packed the kitchen sink and didn’t know how a Safari camp worked. Will talk about...

    My First Safari

    It all started in 2006 I believe it was March or even February and I was at a log home show with my parents in Idaho. Now I was 10 years old and did enjoy seeing some of the cool log home booths but again being 10 I’d imagine I was getting bored until I ran across a booth of a South African...
