We have a unit here in Colorado where there is a 100% draw possibility for archery, muzzle loader and first rifle season. Then the points will kick in and even a resident will need upwards of 10 points. The reason? It is a migratory unit and hunts. If you are lucky you may see a couple of...

I am far from what you would consider "well heeled" and I have used the service twice and if I go again I'll use a pre approved permit service again. Considering what you are spending for your hunt from start to end it is a very small amount for the service.

They mostly go by firearm sales that are easily tracked. Then the percentage of sales to population

I can understand outfitters being busy but if they are in the business of taking people out on hunting trips they really should have a office manager who's major responsibility is to answer emails and or calls. Even if it is to tell you that they don't have a answer for you but will get back to...

I've used Safari Speciality Importers twice and would use them again. If Wyatt doesn't answers the phone just leave a message and he'll get back to you

Scheel's is way north of Denver

I should also tell you that it doesn't matter which one that you stop at since they carry the same clothing brand and other merchandise. As for Sportsman's Warehouse there is one just off of Santa Fe on your way south, slightly off of your route. Sportsman's Warehouse 3910 River Point...

You have two major options. A Bass Pro store just off of I-70, just a couple minutes out of your way. Or a Cabela's just south of Denver just off of I-25 as you are headed south. Don't forget the hunter orange that is required here in Colorado on any and all rifle hunts 400 sq inches that...

On my first trip we hit Joberg in the late morning. As we stepped off of the Jetway into the concourse there were two gentlemen waiting for me and my hunting partner with placards with our names on them, we had both chosen the meet and greet with Air 2000. We headed down to passport control...

For the little that it cost it's well worth using a service.

For the most part it is very typical for a area like Wyoming and other areas here in the western US where we hold to our values. You may notice a difference in the larger cities. You have to realize that Wyoming really doesn't have the large metro areas that most states have. But then there are...

I've posted this before on the forum here but it is still interesting Found this den site in Arizona while hunting javelina way back in 2005. To this day no one who we have taken into the site has killed one of them. I hiked into it this year while down there and there were quite a few out...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the cost of that first safari and being able to afford that second, third, and fourth. For most people it's one and done and then off to more affordable hunts. I think that this is where a first time hunter to Africa decides to mount everything.

I might have to stop in Cabela's down in Lonetree when I'm down that way. I haven't been in a Cabela's since February 2022
