I detect some sarcasm here, Dang right I was happy, and my first ever African animal to boot.

To each their own, the big cities are ok to visit on occasion, but farm/country life is for us. Just something about raising critters and crops that can be so satisfying. However, nothing in this world will change your attitude more than the phrase "the cows are out". We are visiting the...

I never saw a whole lot, bunch of ticks though. Was mid August in the Thabazimbi area of Limpopo.

Of course, answers here are like shu-wee-holes, we all have one. BUT, ya don't need the ultra fancy, high dollar statement attire. Just take our fella hunter, checked bag was lost and he hunted in what he wore on the trip over, fortunately he had a few extra clothes in his carry-on and I was...

Most all of my attire was Carhartt, 100% cotton and pre-treated with Permethrin, plus a light spray of Deet before heading out each morning. No issues with the insects.

Yeah, most that I know that have them are women folk!! However, saw more than you can shake a stick at while in Japan. Seem to be great little trucks.

Yup, there are some folks on my area that are using them, great alternative.

Just Empty Each Pocket

Yeah, my old '98 is still working just fine. Though it needs the original tires replaced.

It was checked twice at Atlanta, once coming back into country and again before leaving for Greensboro. Filed a claim with Delta baggage department, rifle was in my possession in a few hours.

Don't know the first thing about this unit other than it's expensive, looks cool and illegally parked.

Hate that you and others have been through difficulties, will happen to all of us sooner or later. My first trip was last August, Greensboro, NC to Atlanta then to Johannesburg. A couple boxes of ammo in a locked case placed in checked bag. No issues here, was figuring that I would be charged...

We went last August, trophies arrived mid March of this year, a Waterbuck, Gemsbok and an Impala. Dip and pack was about $600, crate and plane ticket with Turkish Airlines was about $1100 and Coppersmith imports was about $1250. Nothing about an African adventure is going to be cheap.

Very capable lineup these RUMs were, when I purchased mine I was really interested in the .375 but went with the .300 instead. I think the majority of the marketing push was the different power levels Remington offered the ammunition in, at least it was for the .300, which I thought was a great...

Outstanding report and a great trip for ya. Thanks for sharing.
