@Sideshow Apple Airtags

Hello everyone. So we are feet dry just crossing the coast of Angola. Two and a half hours to Joberg. Thought I’d share what I’m looking for in the animals I’m hunting. Elephant is the primary. Trophy bull. What is a trophy to me? The older the better. Non-typical tusk would be cool. A one...

Well boys and girls here we go. See you in South Africa.

I’ve hunted the Zambezi Valley before, back in 2005. But I’ve never hunted with CMS before. In the last two years Buzz and I have become good friends and Mills and I have become good acquaintances due to his love of flying and me being a bush pilot. From those two relationships and of course...

He was right, it shows to be on the plane.

Where are my rifles? Interesting thing of note. I’ve got Airtags on everything except me. Of course I’m watching them. Two of my bags (clothes and ammo) are on the plane. But my gun case is still at the concourse I landed at coming to Atlanta. I told the gate agent I had a bag that hadn’t been...

Speaking of shirts, I’m bringing three bright Hawaiian shirts, one for each of the trackers and one for the driver. I asked Buzz what he thought the guys would enjoy and he said they love bright shirts. Hope they get a kick out of them.

Personal Protective Equipment: No I’m not talking about those, get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about Eye pro, Ear pro, Sunblock, Bug repellent, Chapstick. Eye pro: this was a little tricky. Buzz strongly recommended bringing sunglasses. I don’t normally wear sunglasses. So I had to...

Clothing: I know there is always interest in what clothing to wear to Africa. Here is what I’m bringing bottom to top. I travel in clothes that doubles as hunting clothes but doesn’t automatically identify me as a hunter. For travel I’m wearing Courteney Selous boots, for hunting I have a pair...

Thanks. I’m hunting in the Nyakudanga concession. I’m flying from New Orleans > Atlanta (where I am now) > Johannesburg. Then Friday Johannesburg > Harare where I’ll catch a Cessna 206 to the camp. Have a great time on your hunt.

Update: traveling with ammo. Flying U.S. airlines in particular I’ve always had the ammo in a locked container buried inside my bag containing my clothes etc. Not this time. They wanted it to travel with anything except clothes. So out the ammo container came, dumped my toiletries into my main...

The adventure begins today. Headed to the airport shortly to fly NOLA > Atlanta > Joberg, spend the night at the Intercontinental and then Harare tomorrow. Then transfer to a Cessna 206 to fly to the Nyakasanga concession for a 14 day Elephant/Cape buffalo hunt beginning Saturday. Taking two...

WHAT?! :)

Not counting my muzzleloaders, this would be my favorite "handgun", especially for home defense (and when suppressed).

A friend of mine in Tucson tuned up these three and then re-gripped them for me. The two on the belt are pre-ban ivory. The other is giraffe leg bone. I don't shoot these very much, mostly just practice spinning them (I'm not very good at it). Perhaps some day I'll be as good as this guy...
