Thank you for the advice. This exact thought has been the reason I’ve considered LDE before trying again for a Leopard.

I plan on it. Need to get through my NWT Dall Sheep Hunt first. Then I need to decide if I want to do LDE or Leopard first.

Congratulations on a great hunt. LDE is on my bucket list.

From this comment I’m inferring the outfitter created some kind of Bespoke Package for you. If that is the case, it’s very common for South African and Namibian Outfitters on Package Hunts to require 100% paid for before the start of the hunt. I’d make sure you ask what happens to your trophy...

I prefer to make my own reservations too. The Qatar flight was on my own since they’re easy to navigate, but when transitioning several African countries on a single trip (Zim, Zambia, Botswana, and Namibia) with firearms and flying through multiple different airports into and out of Africa...

Did you use an agent? I had this exact conversation earlier today with Nicole from Gracy. In the past, including this past July going to Zambia my bags have been checked straight through. I didn’t need to collect any bags whatsoever, and went straight to City Lodge after checking in with Bruce...

Of your 3 options listed I’d be most inclined to hunt with Crusader Safaris but don’t know a much about your friends recommendation aside from a quick google search. I haven’t personally hunted with Crusader but know at least 2 Dozen people who have and no one has had a bad thing to say. I would...

I’m probably a fair bit younger than most on AH (late 30’s). I’ve tried to balance it and think I’ve done a fairly good job of it. I didn’t grow-up with much and watched both my parents work multiple jobs and struggle financially. I saw how that impacted them, their relationship, and me...

I’m adjusting my planned flights at the end of the month. I’m going to avoid flying through Doha (not because I worry about being shot down, but to avoid any possible delays/interruptions). It won’t impact my actual hunt though.

Perfect advice. In my personal SHTF kit, I also keep NPA/OPA’s, Cric Kit, mult types of IV fluids including hextend, IO Driver, saline lock and lines, lots of quickclot, burn dressings, SAM Splints, and about a half dozen tourniquets. This actually reminds me I need to check expiration dates on...

I’m looking specifically for my upcoming Sheep Hunt and potentially a future goat hunt. Between you and @Wildwillalaska you’ve got me wanting to try one. I’ve got the mystery ranch pack for Deer/Elk/Caribou. I’m confident I could do a moose with it as well since it’s done a Front & Rear Elk...

I really wish I could, but hopefully that day I’ll be waist deep, wading through a swamp, stalking up to a buffalo with my Westley Double Rifle, and can send y’all a wonderful video and couple of photos of the 119yo girl back in action

I’ll agree with this. I risk getting shot every time I’m in Memphis for some BBQ. When you said southeast I thought you were gonna bring Alabama and their white sauce into the equation. All this BBQ talk is making me hungry

Let us know what you think on the Terminus. Both it and the Exo are the two packs I keep going back and forth on. If I was doing a moose hunt instead of a sheep hunt I’d be looking harder at the Barney’s pack
