AH's GSTONE arrived on Saturday for a two week hunt with Jacques. So far so good, here are a few pics. I don't know the stories behind the hunts, I'll let GSTONE tell that.

Big dinosaur with a 29" front:

Nice caracal,
The bontebok, is a cracker too
Really love to hear the whole hunt,congratulations gstone
Thanks for the teaser phil.....
 
Awesome....

Great pics, the rhino I love in particular!
 
Snd I'm no expert by any means, but isn't that a big caracal, or does it just look much bigger than normal as it is fully stretched out? Love it either way.
 
That has to be a huge caracal or some mighty small hunters!

Looking forward to the report and more pictures! Two weeks with this start is sure to be epic.
 
A caracal is quite the prize .. Congratulations.
And, as others here have said, it appears over-sized, rivals some N. Am Cougars/Pumas over here in The Americas.
Bravo to you sir.
 
Caracal is outstanding ! Rhino quite impressive.
 
Man what a start can't wait for the whole story. Congrats a great choice of Outfitters. And That Caracal WHAT A MONSTER.
 
Congrats, that is a excellent caracal.
 
Congrats GSTONE, this WILL be one hell of a good hunt. Will be tuned in to hear the full story!
 
OK, lets hear the story on the darting (green hunt) of the white rhino.

Don't know the story James and GSTONE has another week of hunting left.
 
Thanks for the comments. The hunt report has been completed and is now posted. I have photos in my album. I really enjoyed the caracal. He is a really big caracal... thirty five pounds, but seemed even bigger when we picked it up. A great memory of this years hunt.

Full mounts planned for the caracal, Bontebuck, Mountain Reedbuck, Vaal Rhebok, Southern Bush Duiker, and the Common Oribi. I think I need to add another room to my house soon. (y)

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
