I think if you’ve hunted with a PH before and go on a hunt like this the PH has an idea of what you’re looking for in terms of species and trophy quality. The PH also likely has a plan based on quota available and/or hunting style and ability. The PH might also use a hunt like this to get into...

Great post and great video content. Always love the Safari Classic videos and saw several familiar faces of both PH’s and Hunters.

Congratulations on a great trip. This makes me very excited for my hunt this coming June with ZDS. Cant wait to hear the rest of your hunt.

Last minute snipping is very common. It’s unfortunately part of the auction game but it because MUCH more common when the item is broadcast on a public forum. Pay attention to the forum members online and guests viewing and it’ll really open your eyes.

That is the crux of the issue. Nothing is ever assured in Africa, especially in places like Zimbabwe. D&Y might be assuring you they have quota but that doesn’t mean they’ll be the concession holder. There are several well known outfitters saying there’s something going on in that area. D&Y...

I’m not arguing that at all and never have. Not sure how/why I or someone else has given that impression. Not posting live auction links (without a buy it now) is a very common and normal rule on most hunting/gun forums. This is based around the idea of respect for other forums and non-forum...

There’s 100% a difference but there’s also a difference between loosing to someone who spent the time to search for something because they wanted it and because someone was alerted via an Internet forum and swooped in without doing any of the leg work. There’s a value proposition associated with...

It’s not about luck when you select quality areas

I’d do the Gemsbok on the shield or as a standard shoulder mount. Nyala and Waterbuck together since they often occur naturally together. I’d be hard pressed to not do the Nyala in some way that shows off both the mane and boots. I personally have my Nyala as a life size mount, but have seen...

There was zero discussion of the good or bad around that item. It was just a post alerting members to a potentially good deal. Vastly different than an auction that also has a “”Buy it Now” Price. I’ve echoed @RR 314 comment many times. As some who spends hours of time most days/weeks searching...

Or use the rubber from an inner tube like many do in Africa

Just start from Page 1 instead of 14. No need to look, just jump back to the beginning

I’ve rented a car in South Africa and driven myself around. Cape Town is especially easy and roads are well marked. Other areas of South Africa use a little more caution. I didn’t do it in Namibia because of time constraints but would have zero issues doing it there too and plan to do it along...

I’m shooting him then selling a few things or putting a pause on my 401k contributions

Try Poor Calvin’s in Atlanta with the wife. The gf said strip clubs and whore houses are ok, but if she finds out I went there without her I’m dead.
