Reviews aren’t everything. I’ve hunted with an outfitter who has zero reviews, no website, no online information, and doesn’t go to a single marketing or Sportsmans show. It’s 100% word of mouth and repeat clients. That said, have you confirmed the size of the property and location for the...

These details would have been great in your first post which should have been titled “Looking for a Travel Agent that specializes in Hunting”. You’re Booking Agent or Travel Agent passed away not your outfitter. Definitely helps to use the right terminology. You have an Outfitter - it’s Mokore...

This sounds like the TPW draw hunts. There are a lot of youth only hunts and opportunities.

This is an amazing opportunity but one I feel like likely out of my price range. I love the book and have bought copies for several friends before their first Safari. Have you thought about offering them to SCI or DSC for purchase and they in turn can auction them off to raise additional...

I’ve used them to arrange a couple of hunts (none in Africa). They’re a great resource when looking for specific locations or species. I’ve seen where they had a deal you couldn’t get the same pricing direct from an outfitter and I’ve seen where the outfitter would offer the same price or lower...

The hunts booked or your airfare is booked? What area of Zim? Who was the outfitter? Who’s running the operation now? What of your deposit? What the outfitter your PH or did he have a PH working for him? How long ago did the outfitter pass? How’d you find out and what’d they tell you was...

I've got a bunch of different types of 458WM including some newer Federal A-Frames, Solids, and potentially Bear Claws. I'll be home this weekend. Shoot me a PM and I'll get a list of what I have.

If you’re in the Hill Country area Los Caz should have both calibers. They did earlier this month when I was in 2 of their stores

@Red Leg maybe I’m different but when I travel for a big hunt or a limited entry draw tag I almost ALWAYS bring 2 rifles or confirm there will be a second spare rifle in camp. I learned that lesson in Idaho using horses to hunt and had a little incident and cracked the stock on my 700 BDL...

This is going on the assumption you just want to check the box and not go back to Africa or after any of these species again but IF you can do your Big 5 on a single 21 or 28 Day Trip (accounting for time in RSA for a Rhino or CBL if you don’t want a Wild Lion) it will be 100% more cost...

This is just my curiosity but I wonder if it has something to do with their hair/fur structure of those African animals or the distance. Has it only been on African Antelope or have you seen the same on US animals? I shot an Oryx with the same 300WM load you used in New Mexico last year and...

Looks like we’ve got very similar passions. Might as well add bourbon and cigars too. First up is a 73 Nova. This was my first car, bought when I was 15 as the second owner. I’ve been debating bringing here down to Texas and repowering/restoring her. Next we have a 1970 Lemans Sport I...

Y'all should look at Mozambique if you haven't. Your Moz, leopard makes me think you might already have the Suni and Red/Blue Duikers. If you dont and you pick your area right you can add Grysbok, and Oribi. I'm booked for 2026. Went back and forth between Zambeze Delta and Mashambanzou Safaris...

I bring something .375 or larger on every hunt, including plains game. You never know if you'll have a sudden reduced price opportunity at dangerous game. Happened to me in Namibia for Lion and Elephant. I also almost always bring another smaller caliber rifle like a .300 H&H, .308Win, .30-06...

Congratulations .... now tell us all when you plan to take her on y'all's maiden voyage to Africa.
