Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Always an exciting day. I'm super curious about that furniture piece. What do you have going on there?

Go Pack Go! If you happen to be a Bear's fan, it's best you keep that to yourself. Wisconsin hunters have a certain reputation to uphold to.

Welcome aboard...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Ready for the hunt with HTK safaris!

One of my most unforgettable hunts was a Spring bow hunt in the far Northwest corner of Alberta 3-4 years ago over bait. Of the six evenings hunting in six different stands, I had at least one bear climb my tree every night. (There were two the first night.) I will never forget, after I got...

Haha... was thinking the same. Spa girls, House girls? What is this all about and where are those pictures?

I'm really enjoying your writing style and adventure. Have you decided yet what you will do with the buff when home? Skull vs. shoulder mount?

Curious... what is it they do specialize in extremely remote areas??

Ouch... that sounds painful. Did you think about changing your handle to "Shortwalker" or "Longhobbler" after? :)

Did this last Fall and had a great experience with Marius and Huntromania. I will definitely return. See hunting report. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/romania-brown-bear-red-stag.86519/

I'll take it. Sending a PM now.

@buck wild I can mess up a pack of hot dogs as well, if I have enough beer in me. Nice looking mount!!

I purchased a Bergara Premier Series Highlander in 300 Win mag a few years ago. It's the only plastic rifle I own. Rounds 40-80 I experienced some weak spring issues. I mailed the bolt in and it was returned 7-10 days later. I've put 600-700 rounds through it since with no problems. Still smooth...

Every time I'm interested in traveling to Mozambique, I read a thread like this and think, what a miserable place this must be. Where is the love?

What a refreshing and humble post. Don't overthink and you will do just fine. There's no need to waste money on new gear for the hunt you described as your Indiana whitetail gear will do just fine. Get a lot of practice shooting off of sticks. Utilize this site's search feature for any...

What a fantastic report so far, and we all appreciate the details you include. I'm looking forward to the remainder of your journey with your son.

Wow! Do you need another friend?

Funny stuff @skydiver386. I know the feeling as well. I've lost track on the number of "must have" purchases I've made and rediscovered at home 2-3 years later.

As a tip, if you have an early morning return flight, (which is when most hunters want to fly out and the hotel staff is at it's minimum) make sure you allow some extra time to collect from the freezer. Upon checking out, I went to collect my 2 bears and was surprised to find so many other...

and yes, they have freezers for your bears.

I was in Mexico in 2022 on a Sonoran Desert Mule Deer hunt and had a great time which was only a 4-5 hour drive south of the border via Phoenix. I really enjoyed the hunt, people, food, and the beautiful buck I brought home. I kept in touch with my guide the following year as I was curious on...

I have a Rhino Express in 416 Rigby and really like it. It fits me very well and recoil hasn't been an issue. I only have 60-70 rounds through it but so far, no issues other than it's a bit stiff to break open.

Early May: Botswana Kudu with NKWE Late April/Mid May: Still looking for something interesting to hunt in either Namibia or Zimbabwe the week before or after Botswana. I reached out to one site sponsor a couple months ago and have yet to receive a response. November: Iowa Whitetail bowhunt...

5-6 years ago, I bowhunted with Brent at 4T Outfitting and will be going back in '25 with my son. You won't find much about him online as he does not advertise and stopped attending shows years ago. He strictly operates by word of mouth. It is a small operation with meager accommodations...

Madison area

I've often wondered how hard it would be to switch from a right-hand shooter to a left. I'm left-eye dominate anyway, and there are some beautiful rifles that sit around longer than they should.

Congrats to all. An old warrior for sure. Did the locals recognize him as one of the man-eaters in the area? Was there anything interesting found while opening him up?

Fantastic read.

Congrats on some really nice trophies. Sounds like you kept yourself busy for those 14 days. We would love to hear more details of the hunt. It looks like you had a blast...

Welcome... Are you from the Hawkeye side or Cyclone side?

It was nice to meet you in camp and read your story. It was rough conditions for sure. Let's make sure we connect on the Indonesia deal.

I'm not sure why I never thought of this but, this is awesome! Thank you!!

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Looks like you had a great hunt and some really nice trophies.
