Nice job Broken Arrow! Proving again that the ole "thughty-aught six" is more than enough for Africa with the right bullet and proper ethical hunting! As far as what's next maybe a Buff or Sable?

I know it's a bit apples and oranges in terms of size but I just shot a blue wildebeest that was about 650# frontal at about 125 yards with my 06 using a 180 gr Barnes TTSX and it destroyed his lung and heart before tearing a path through his liver. He went about 10 yards and crumpled. I like...

Yeah had I not taken the bushy it would have haunted me. Especially when I was on AMS's facebook page this past week and saw that a guy there the week after me shot the Waterbuck! I'm happy though (y)

Dory I am not a Africa Veteran by any stretch having recently returned from my first trip at Africa Maximum Safari's in NW RSA but would echo some of the advice others have posted. I spent A LOT of time looking at pictures online of what was on my target list so I had an idea of what...

Use the Cabela's one and like it.

Nice job! Spent three days hunting the little bushy a few weeks ago before scoring (see Avatar). Tough animals to hunt for sure.

Nice job thanks for the pictures. Nice impala!

Thanks Bill....I made sure it was in bold on the transfer sheet when they are picking up the skulls and skins at the lodge as well as making it clear in my email to Moredou. Pikkie the owner seemed very interested in going out of his way in answering my questions so hopefully I will be ok...

LOL...actually I'm a specialist. I treat dogs and cats for cancer (oncologist). Had my share of experience with the large critters though, Dr. Fetrow was at the U when I was there but I spent most of my time in the small animal clinic.

Action Bob Great advice. I did not get to visit the taxidermist unfortunately but have spoken to them and conveyed my concerns as well as speaking to other hunters who have used them and were happy with the work. I like the idea of asking for updates and pictures I will ask. That's the best...

I am using Moredou Taxidermy in Schweizer-Reneke as they were recommended by the lodge. I was very specific in wanting the horns natural as I too hate the painted dark black color its very unnatural. The Wildebeest especially had nice worn bases with cracks and such that to me makes the...

Bob Agreed. The Hartebeest I think is an underappreciated animal but was high on my list. They are so unusual looking and I have to tell you it was a very exciting hunt. We saw his group early one morning and having the wind to our favor followed them for about 2 hours to pick him out of the...

Just back from spending a week in the Swartruggens area of the Northwest Province at Professional Hunter and Outfitter Jacques Senekal's place Africa Maximum Safari's. Outstanding time at a very nice camp with access to some fantastic properties to hunt on. Being my first (and not by any...

Thanks Brushmore....I thought it was but no ITN yet so I will go back in and try again. More paperwork great!

Have to agree not the most user friendly system at all...it is doable though. For those that are worried the test is open book you just have to search out the answers. As James states you can answer till you get them right. My advice make sure you write every user name, password, and number you...

Royal 27 thanks for the quick reply. It does ease my mind to know that. The months to April cannot go by fast enough! Nice Buff in your avatar BTW....not on the list for this trip but hopefully next time.

Have a trip planned to RSA for a mixed plains game and a few days of bird hunting. Its my first trip over and I am getting conflicting information on whether or not I can bring my 12 G autoloader or not? Outfitter says its not a problem and I have read the same in other internet sites but...

Thanks all for the welcome. Ridge Top thanks for the positive review on AMAX. The best review is a repeat customer. So far they have been great in the planning so Im looking forward to arrival.
