Thanks everyone for your comments. I really did have a good time and this forum and its members have been a wealth of knowledge in the planning and success of this trip.

Congrats again @Jbuck, was a pleasure sharing accommodation with you. How did I not see that rifle in person?? Its gorgeous!

Summing up: We had a day up our sleeve in Port Elizabeth to line up return flights and as Leanne is a fan of elephants a guided day tour of the nearby Addo Elephant Park was undertaken and something I can recommend for anyone with an interest in the pachyderms, our guide got us close to...

Not sure what is happening here. This picture is not mine, and the hunter pictured is not me but Jimmie who was hunting from the same lodge. Congrats again to Jimmie.

Day 7: Kudu! Our last day of hunting has arrived. I am more than content with the Buffalo and Eland that we have achieved but the KMG team are striving to see me complete my list so pooling information and suggestions from a multitude of sources we head out with renewed vigour despite the very...

Day 6: Kudu hoodoo The days are flying by it seems, and it feels like a dark cloud is hanging over us concerning securing a Kudu. The guys have located plenty, and some really nice examples I might add, but getting on to them still eludes us. We break up the monotony with continuing a search...

Day 5: Eland After the previous three days morale had taken a bit of a hit, and we all believed our luck must have been burnt up on Day 1 taking the Buff so early in the trip. I still had three animals on my wish list, not that I considered it essential to achieve all of them the KMG team...

Day 2: New territory Up early and on the road for a couple of hours into the Eastern Cape proper. We pulled into our new lodge accommodation immediately impressed with the set up and were shown to our well-appointed double room. We met the lodge staff and proprietors along with another of...

The face says it all! Not a smile, more a grimace and a comment something along the lines of "Hurry up, take the photo!!" Little wonder bulls have the necks that they do, imagine carrying these around all day!

The time had come, almost two years after taking the plunge and booking an African hunt Myself and partner Leanne were underway with trepidation, anxiety and excitement all rolled in to one. No more emails, planning, checking, rechecking or repacking, we were sorted and ready! Well, a slight...

Not long home from my first trip to Africa, I hunted South Africa's Eastern Cape with the KMG Safaris team and had a ball! Posting a few photos first to whet the appetite with more details to come (jet lag has the memories a bit fuzzy at the moment ;))

Less than 3 weeks until our stay @ Africa Sky, cant wait!

For our Aussie members, Just found some .422"/404 Jeffery projectiles that I've been searching for since their fire, in stock along with many other calibers & weights @ Sam Hunt Vic. Check them out if you're looking for any Woodleigh stuff you have been chasing. https://samhuntvic.com.au/

Thats a cracking old ram!

I sure hope we find this guy's brother in August!

That's great work !

Along with an ever increasing stable of dirt bikes to restore including a key player, an '87 CR500, this one was collected today :)

Quality animals, bring on August 2024!!

G'day from NSW :A Happy Wave:

Apparently wooly mammoth are to be reincarnated. Any idea what the fee on a good tusker would be?? :oops...

It is great to see another Aussie projectile on the market, and I'll back up the good words said about Cam by others here already. An order placed via his Facebook page is answered promptly and the goods will be posted and in your hand in no time at all. I am transitioning from Woodleigh to...

That first photo is brilliant!

The first time I experienced thermals I stated they are a game changer, a description not surprisingly used by most when they see them in action. For ethical hunting, no, I consider them cheating. For problem animal/pest/vermin control they are without parallel. The ability to "see" animals that...

He had an impressive spread of horn for sure, but surprisingly quite a small animal. There's a photo of his owner riding him showing his size.

I remember my Old Man getting a copy of the movie (on VHS, remember those?) just so he could pause the film and point it out every it was played :D

Charlie, currently on display @ the Adelaide River Inn, NT, Australia

The one on the left is very nice!

Welcome from NSW:A Happy Wave:

My copy arrived in the mail today. Looking forward to getting through it, and my better half has indicated she wants to read it as soon as I'm finished (y)

Or the .270 Redding etc, etc, from some time ago. However this is sure to be "brand new".

All the parts came from NECG. Rear is a Full Moon insert in the Classic rear base. Front is the Masterpiece Banded ramp with silver bead to suit (also purchased a green fibre optic to try at some point and maybe use when the eyesight is less than best)

CZ550 in my .425, 25" barrel, VX3 1.5-5 & Alaska Arms QD rings goes 4.7kg/10lb 6oz. Add around half a pound for 5 x 400gn cartridges ;)

Quality off the charts!

I make similar however use olive oil with the beeswax.

CZ550 in .425 Schade

Looks like the day went well, Congrats to you all.

Had a few bikes come and go over the years as well, from ag & trail bikes for the camping/hunting trips to enduro & motocross for the high speed dirt stuff to road bikes far too fast for the crappy roads around where I live. Always try to have at least one in the shed to jump on when I can. The...

G'day Matt, welcome to AH from another Aussie, also Central West based (Orange) This site is addictive, informative and quite the prompter to get things happening, my first African adventure booked for '24 (y)

Have we all done that with a tree before? I know I have!

That's some nice timber for a Winny
