Both are magnificent trophies-glad you stuck it out and found success on the last day!
Thanks for the story and pictures-will watch for your full report
no experience with them but check out Heritage badlander line. Fabarm also is producing one this year but I think only in 12 gauge-good luck in your search
May I suggest finding “the one” that you want and saving until you can get it, rather than settling for what is available in your price...
When I was doing research for a safari one of the most common complaints was that the hunter expected to hunt with the safari operator but was given a different ph without any notice.
The other common complaint was freelance ph’s not knowing price structure-having to send pix to the owner to...
I feel inspired as to which books to take in my upcoming trip-mine have spent lots of time in a treestand hunting deer and elk. Looking forward to the rest of your stories!
From jburg to east cape your ammo box should have a tsa lock and will be removed from your luggage to fly separately.
Your gun case should have padlocks that only you carry the keys for-
There isn’t a hard fast Starting number. Look through the deals and offers section for a baseline and then add in the other items previously mentioned. It does get expensive fast, the airline tickets are always the killer for me
I have Talley bases with QD rings on my .375 wby. I used it last trip to South Africa and had no issues.
I’ve been practicing with it constantly for a month getting ready for the next trip-on again and off again between the two scopes. One a dg scope the other for plains game, both for...
Hope to have time to go to mtn top in about three weeks and try for another bushbuck after buffalo of course!
You should always hunt kudu there and impala as well. . . And I am glad you shot that waterbuck-that’s one of my all time favorites!
Looking forward to pictures. I haven’t competed in 15 ish years-family, time, work etc. But maybe next year I’ll come down and see how I can do against the Texas bird weirdos. Good luck Sir!
Finished one, getting behind on others-don’t have as much time to read in the summer. . .
Might need to gift some of the finished books to interested parties:unsure:
Several people on here have built them. Try searching “trophy room” or something along those lines and see what comes up or maybe re tool your title to something like “show me you (African) fireplace”. You might get more feedback.
I love the idea, we are in the planning stages to do something...
Love the photos! Wik does a great job setting them up and making everything show up just right. Congratulations on a great adventure and some magnificent trophies
They will just replace those taxes with different fees such as requiring wma permits.
Read the bills carefully and look at the proposal maps before you make assumptions-
Airlink if you are traveling with guns. Small planes but comfortable enough and you won’t be in the air all that long. The view as you swing out over the ocean preparing to land is really fantastic
Just for fun go to the range and compare new against once or multiple fired brass. Use a chronograph and see what you find as far as velocity and accuracy differential. It’s hunting accuracy and not even long range so I don’t think it will matter but your rifle might say otherwise-
Got up early to go shooting but it was already 70 f so I waved off. Today supposed to be the first day over 100 f for us for the summer.
My friend from Arizona coming to visit and to get out of their heat :LOL:
Just finished “Life and Death in Africa” by Mark Ross. Not what I was expecting but an interesting compilation of experiences from the life of a (photographic) safari guide. He had a horrific ordeal with rebels turned kidnappers/murderers, which he covers graphically. A very good writer and...
Glad you had such an event filled adventure. I’m excited to be going back in July-they didn’t have the birth property yet when I was there last so that will be fun to explore. -and yes, Buffalo is on my agenda for this trip!
Thanks for the write up and pictures. Some very special animals taken. Have heard lots of good things about LJ safaris and glad you could add to their credibility
