Day 8: We spent the morning visiting a school not far from the lodge in Molteno. The school was associated with a church on the northwest side of town. We met with several ladies who ran the school and taught the children. The children were divided into three buildings, four classrooms. One...

Day 7: After breakfast we headed out for warthog again. We drove back to the river property and quickly spotted a group grazing, there was one nice boar in the group. We got as close as possible with the wind we had, somewhat cross but also somewhat towards them. I took a shot at 230 yards...

Yeah, fortunately for me most of my miles walking were put in along the river searching for warthog and not in the mountains.

Day 6: Slept in this morning. Left about 08:00 for Queenstown, I'd had SCI send me a few Bell Family Blue Bags prior to the trip. They were kind enough to put 20 backpacks, 15 or so toboggan caps, 2 soccer balls, and 2 hand pumps in before they shipped them. We brought a few things with us to...

Day 5: Spent the morning chasing Zebra, we'd set up a couple times attempting to ambush them as they came toward us only to have them go a different direction. After searching for some time we came upon a small herd of 12 or so grazing on the open plain. At about 300 yards we could tell they...

I never realized there were so many of us in the "can't kill a warthog club", maybe you, flatwaterbill and I should start a support group, here I was all this time thinking I was the only one...I just assumed everyone killed a giant white banana warthog on their first safari. I bet there are...

Yes sir to both question!

Thanks for the kind words Bill. We must definitely go back and try again! And when we succeed I'm sure there will be another of African numerous elusive species we must return for as well! Six days to go!

Yeah, the kudu still haunts me! I quickly learned with Jason a "slow short walk" translates to a gazelle like sprint for about 2 miles. I cant wait to get that waterbuck home to wrap my hands around those bases again.

Day 4: Early morning! Left the lodge at 04:15 headed south southeast. Drove for about 2 hours and watched the sunrise on a new world, lush green vegetation everywhere the valleys looked like tropical forest with many areas so dense passage looked impossible. The land owner had undertaken much...

Good luck, safe travels, and take good notes for the hunt report! Not to mention pictures!

Day 3: After another great breakfast we were off for warthog near the river. Driving along the river my PH got very excited pointing to the river on the passenger side of the vehicle, we soon realized the object of his exuberance....and yes I do still kick myself today refraining to pull the...

I feel your pain...glad someone else is in this boat with me...on my two safaris I've dedicated 4 entire days chasing those dang warthogs. Had a shot this last trip, 230 yards, 20-30 mph cross wind....shot just over his back.

Day Two: Since we had each taken 3 animals the first day we got to sleep in till 0700! I was going after nyala and Mark was going to be chasing kudu again today. We went to an area along a small river with dense brush along the river and several of the drainages feeding into the river. The...

My buddy Mark also had a very productive first day: Blesbok taken at 302 yards: Gemsbok taken at 78 yards: Fallow deer taken at 189 yards:

Awesome Safari! Thanks for all the pics. Have you gotten any of the finished taxidermy yet?

Very nice. Any more pics, or any pics of your taxidermy?

Just got back to the states yesterday from SA, went through several towns that had shanty towns. One oddity stuck out to me, these people living in 12x12 cinder block houses or just corrugated metal sided sheds had satilite dishes and a lot I saw were holding or talking on cell phones. I could...
