Another reason I am glad I decided to rent a rifle from my PH for my June trip. No worries.

I drive a 2020 GMC Denali 6.6 Turbo Diesel. It is a beast. 10 speed Allison transmission. I bought it to tow my RV. I LOVE this truck.

I have purchased from them. GREAT prices. It is where I got my Leica's at for my June trip to South Africa.

.22

Looking to pick up a Remington 541 with the Curly Maple Stock. Please let me know if you got one and what you need for it. Thanx! Bill

Sounds like we are going to be at the same place at the same time! My first Africa trip is June 11-20. And I will be hunting in the Limpopo as well! Good luck!

I have a RSA trip scheduled for June. I contacted my PH and asked him what sticks he will be carrying for me to shoot off of while I am there. I then went and purchased the exact same sticks so I can practice off them and get used to them. That's my 2 cents.

I did tons of research and decided on Leica's 10x42 HD's.

I live about an hour and a half away. Always wanted to go, but none of my buds do and I don’t feel like going alone.

The stuff MY dreams are made of.

Not the case at all. Notice the word Tipping in quotes in the title? Granted - it wasn't clear enough but these in no way take the place of cold hard cash.

I think you're right! I put tipping in quotes for just that reason, but I can see I was not clear enough. It won't let me edit it!

I do not think people read my post correctly. I specifically stated these are not viewed as tips. I, of course, will leave cash. These do not take the place of any cash. Just something extra.

So what I got is OK? Or do they only like the Leatherman's that you put a link to?

I would like the Outdoor Edge Butcher Set.

I will be on my 1st African Adventure this June. I was in Cabela's and they had these multi use tools at a ridiculously low clearance price. I picked up a case of them. My thought is to hand them out to the locals who assist me. Driver, trackers, skinners, camp staff, etc. Do you guys think this...

In previewing Bulls Eye Taxidermy price list I see "Gun bag manufacture Standard design (excludes skin) $ 245.00" What exactly is that. Is that a rifle case made out of the leather of an animal you took? If so has anybody here done it? Have pics? Is it worth it? What does the "excludes skin"...

June 11-20 will be my first African Adventure. 7 Plains Game animals on my hopeful list. September will find me in the North Woods of Maine on a Bear Hunt.

This year (June) will be my first Africa hunt ever. I have never attended an SCI nor a DSC event. As an East Coaster I plan on going to the Atlanta show in '25.

Perhaps some of you are old enough to remember I.N.S - it was the Immigration and Naturalization Service. After 9-11, INS was abolished when DHS stood up and all the Special Agents (like myself) got moved to DHS. 1991 was INS's centennial and Smith & Wesson produced 500 of these commemorative...

In addition to South Africa in June I have a bear hunt in the North Woods of Maine in September.

I entered 10 puns into a contest hoping one would win. No pun in ten did.

I will be hunting Limpopo in June as well. Also using Bulls Eye. Did you do a hunt report of that trip? If so, I would love to read it.

Limpopo region of SA in June for my first trip to Africa ever. 7 animals on the list. Blue Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbok, Zebra, Kudu, Gemsbok, and Honey Badger.

So if I harvest an SCI animal in 2024 and make the book, it is impossible to later purchase a book with me in it?

I guess "Coming back" doesn't apply to me as June 2024 will be my first venture. I have 7 animals on my wish list. Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Zebra, Kudu, Blesbok, Gemsbok, and Honey Badger. The 2 that I am looking most forward to pursuing are the Kudu and the Honey Badger.

Without a doubt the most gorgeous bag I’ve ever seen. Super soft. It says it’s made in Zimbabwe from Impala leather. It will carry all my essentials during my June hunt in RSA.

Phillip - You live in San Angelo?! I was stationed at Goodfellow AFB there during 1985/86. I remember sitting in the Concho Corral when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up. The one thing I regret is that I was not a hunter when I was there. I would have definitely enjoyed chasing those white...

Love this thread. My best Goodwill find ever? A complete Blue Box Beatles Collection. All 13 vinyls in Brittish Mono. Still had some of the original shrink wrap on it. It had no price tag on it. I knew it was worth about $2500. I took it to the front counter. The lady gets to looking at it...

I never expected this many responses when I originally posted this topic!

No need to curse at me. I actually decided not to say anything! Just wanted others opinions. Geez...

So every year for Christmas my wife decorates up the house. Part of her annual ritual is "decorating" my mounted heads. They typically get Santa hats, scarfs, ornaments from the antlers etc. I have always felt inside that it was disrespectful to the animal but I have never said anything to her...

I bought the double with 10" arms and like the way it saves wall space.

Muzzle Loader harvest.

Meat for the freezer. A Kentucky Doe.

I will be going on my first African Safari in June of 2024. I will be hunting in the Limpopo region of RSA and of course a Kudu tops my list of desired animals. You know how, in trophy shots, they have the Kudus snout in the dirt and those horns look HUGE? I love that shot. Then when they are...

Veterans Day Buck. 12G Shotgun Slug kill. A Managed hunt in a County Park in Maryland.

Although I have only ever had one pour of Pappy 15, to me, it was FAR superior to the Weller 12.

Yeah- I’m just gonna flask a couple shots.

I think I am going to take about 2 shots worth from the bottle and put them in a flask for the trip.

My go to for a daily is Woodford Reserve, although Blanton's and Jeffersons Ocean are also up there. The best sip of bourbon I ever had was the one time I had Pappy's 15 in Kentucky in the summer of 2022. That's when I made it a point to get a bottle if I ever could.

I was fortunate enough to come up with the bottle pictured below. Not a common occurrence for a Retired Army guy like me. It will definitely be accompanying me to my first trip to the dark continent next June.

Sir- I enjoyed reading your report. Your candor and honesty are exemplary. Although unsolicited, I will give you my 2 cents; even though I think you already kind of covered it yourself. I won't go as far as saying hunting Africa is a rich mans game, but I will say hunting Africa is usually at...

That's why I usually hunt with a walkers game ear in the US. It MAGNIFIES those leaves, twigs, wings etc- while protecting against muzzle blasts.

Why would you pack up if the guy next to you is using a suppressor?

I have never fired a rifle with a suppressor before. A few years ago I had an incident that left me with permanent ringing in one ear. When I go to RSA next June I will be using my PH's .308 with a suppressor on it. Will I need to use hearing protection while hunting? TIA.

That Nyala is a BEAST!!! Congrats!

I was a Special Agent for US Immigration (Originally INS and later ICE) for 21 years. When the computers go out - you CAN'T just do things by hand. It's NOT because of LAZINESS. You see, with the computer you have an electronic back up of everything you do. In the old days (before computers) yes...
