WOW this is number 3 after the leopard. Wouldn't take for the memories I have had with my son (13) on these safaris. He actually told me the other day he was going to tell the PH to make certain I did not close the deal so we would go again next year. It does make me proud that he loves...
I have consulted with legal and it appears that on the surface you can buy ivory from a seller in your state of residence only. So, seller and buyer have to be in the same state. As well as the merchandise.
I am in the process of building a trophy room and looking for some authentic African memorabilia to decorate with. Anyone with any unwanted cool stuff from Africa please reply with pics and prices. I would really like a set of elephant tusks. I live in Texas so the seller would have to live...
CA,
Need some help. I want to reach out to survey the landscape on anyone in my home state of Texas who may have nice set of ivory tusks for sale. Building a trophy room as we speak. However: I know this is taboo with many unsavory characters trying to make a buck. With that said, what would...
Copied, but have one very similar of a female that the dogs put in a tree. She did not care about the dogs but had her eyes on us. PH said it was time to leave as we were about to get some kitty rash:)
Some background here. I hunted Zim on a dog hunt in 2016 but did not connect. Was not for lack of effort. Blind hunted in Zim this year but did not close the deal. Awesome hunting with the Whittalls and Butch Coaton!!! Plenty of cats and game, it just didn't come together again. Even had...
Best of luck to you. I have hunted for this elusive cat two times and have not closed the deal yet. I am seriously thinking about going on another hunt for leopard with JWK next year. I hunted with them on a croc hunt earlier this year and I have to say that it was an awesome experience...
As much as we do our own due diligence by going to trade shows and talking to references, there are those bad actors who slip thru the cracks. At the end of the day let your gut feeling guide you. Social media is a tool we can use to hold people accountable. However, it should be used with...
What a great story!!! My son (12) and I are heading out today for Zim. And yes, I did not get my leopard last year so here we go again:) Took advise from AH folks and my son and I are going to keep a journal and hope to have a good story to tell. Especially with all of the BIG 5 at the camp...
My son and I had the absolute pleasure of hunting with Theunis last year in ZIM. The stories he told and his hearty laughter made for stories we still talk about. Sorry to hear of this tragic accident. Condolences to the family and friends.
I can tell you these folks here are great. I booked a croc hunt two weeks out thru contacts on AH and it was seamless. 8 days door to door with a monster croc. Best advertising one could imagine. Caution!!! Deliver any goods as promised.
14 Days until I get to spend 15 days with my son after a leopard/buff/pg in Zim. He is off the rails excited. Every night YouTube of Africa Safaris per his request. Last year was the first trip for us to Africa. Think we have been bitten. Man GOD is soooooooo gooooooooood!!!
Wow! Wow! Wow! I think the elephants are the critters I am most concerned with. However, the last camp I was In had a pet elephant with a dog that rode on her back. I did feed it reluctantly.
21 days to go here as well. Second time around for the leopard. Only females last year. How was AAA Serapa. Planning a trip there next year with the whole family.
So after reading this I am hesitant about using my Hornady 375 DGS bullets on my safari this month. Any suggestions here. Hunt is a combo Buff/leopard.
As promised, here are the pics from the hunt. I saw this croc head in a shop and it really made an impression on shot placement and how difficult the shot is when it is facing you. Not much room for error. You will also notice I had the guide show me where is the proper place to shoot on a...
When I make a plan. I do it!!! No BS from this Texan. What a great hunt with Lowveld Hunters and thanks to JWK Safaris (Adriaan Wepener) for helping me pull all of it together on such short notice. 8 days door to door and everyone had their stuff together. Talmage and Adriaan were two great...
Thanks I saw it That's what has me wanting to hunt one of these. I laid out my tape measure and really got fired up about shooting a trophy croc. I think the agent is waiting to hear back from operator.
Need I say "other people". It's sad that people don't hold their word these days. A yes is a yes until it's not convenient for some. Had nothing to do with a booking or operator.
Thanks all for the input. I have hunted with Theunis and what an experience that was. Great guy that does not know "QUIT". Nor does his hounds. If anyone has one of those cats tied up to a tree please let me know. Will board the plane asap. Oh wait I would not put that past Theunis. Lol.
