    Please a prayer request for Michael Sipple of @BAYLY SIPPEL SAFARIS. He was charged and injured by Cape buffalo. The company statement is on FB for more info. Moderators don’t know if I can reference FB here and don’t know how to attach. The important thing is the prayer request.

    Strange Sightings, Creepy Feelings

    More than likely a democrat when confronted with logic versus feelings. More common than you think, some view this as cruelty to others but often necessary. ;-)

    Scope Recommendation - Swaro or Trijicon

    Swaro check with R&M for a good deal on glass. A sponsor here and a wealth of knowledge however you go.

    Lets see some Kudu!

    Both EC with Nick Bowker Safaris. Free range low fence. All credit goes to PH’s Benjamin Pringle and Meyrick Bowker. Being there rut helps, going back to SA leave this Saturday for a buff and kudu with BaylySipple different but looking forward to it. Time for a greater kudu and first buff.

    I believe it was Ben Franklin who said someone who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither and I concur. However I defend your right to your opinion.

    Shipping firearms before/after safari

    Don’t know of shipping however if you stay with Afton Safari Lodge I believe they will store your firearms while you photo safari then return when you hunt and vice versa
