    I second this go with the biggest one that will fit in the hanger and pre drill the stud if possible to avoid splitting the stud.

    Fall Update Hello chaps it’s been a minute, but I figured I’d jump on and give an update. A lot has happened since my last post, and the project is finally starting to take real shape. The duplex units are just about finished. We’re currently laying tile flooring, and if everything stays on...

    BOTSWANA: NKWE Safaris Flooded Kalahari

    Day 4 After the tough break on the Eland yesterday, we decided to give that country a rest and switch gears. The plan for the day was Waterbuck. It was about an hour’s drive in the morning, and by the time we rolled in, the sun was just breaking over the trees. This place was loaded with...

    BOTSWANA: NKWE Safaris Flooded Kalahari

    Flies were not a problem towards about the middle of the hunt, day four or so started to get a lot of mosquitoes and moths. They actually started to have a lot of malaria in the area and they typically never have any cases. We were actually supposed to go hunt another ranch on day five or six...

    BOTSWANA: NKWE Safaris Flooded Kalahari

    Day 3 started off much like Day 2 ended we were back after Eland. This morning though, Jaco was determined to reach a part of the ranch that usually holds them, even if it meant turning the Land Cruiser into a boat. I’ve attached a sped up video so you can see just how much of the ranch was...

    How many of you DON'T mount all your trophies?

    Although I can do my own taxidermy, I enjoy the hobby and it saves me lots of $$ but I have found myself already with my only two trips no planning to mount animals I killed on those trips… long term I see a problem with to many mounts. For example I had my first springbok dip and packed back...

    Day Two Of all the days on this trip, I think I appreciate Day Two the most. When I think about Africa from back home, it’s not just the mammals that come to mind it’s the birds. The way the mornings come alive with sound is something I’ll never forget. Doves calling in the cool air, ducks in...

    BOTSWANA: NKWE Safaris Flooded Kalahari

    Yes first day was good for kudu bulls but the rest of the hunt minus one day towards then of the hunt was not filled with very many quality bulls. Seeing we were prior to the rut they just weren’t moving as much as the prime time… But regardless we did great with the kudu.. Stay Tuned! It...

    Day One Looking back now, even though I took notes, I wish I’d taken more. One of the main reasons I decided to write this report is so I can remind myself of everything that went on because as we all know, the small details start to fade quicker than you’d like. I took as many photos and...

    BOTSWANA: NKWE Safaris Flooded Kalahari

    Travel The trip kicked off early in the morning out of DRO (Durango, Colorado), with a hop to DEN (Denver), then on to Newark before the long haul across the Atlantic to Johannesburg. That leg of the journey always hits hard, and this time was no different jet lag absolutely kicked my butt. I...

    Well my friends , we went in the middle of March, so it’s been a couple months since we got back and I won’t lie, the posthunt blues have definitely set in. That empty feeling always creeps in after a trip like this. The only real fix is planning the next one, and that’s already underway. Back...

    Not the best photos but I’m going to add gravel on the right in the first photo just for more space to park and turn Into the building. On the cabinets nothing exactly am I copying but I have just seen photos of other rooms before and lighted cabinets always looked classy. As for the t10...

    Summer Progress Update As summer moves along, so does my trophy room and the rest of this massive construction project. Things are moving slower than I’d like, but as we all know, you usually get to pick two out of three: cheap, fast, or good. I hire most of my guys/trades individually by the...

    How long from the time you returned to your home did it take you to book your next safari?

    Had initial plans before even heading on my first trip about potential 2nd trip. Booked 2nd about 6 months after returning I believe. Same with the second, I currently have ideas/plans for the third trip but haven’t put a deposit down yet. Hopefully I’ll be back in Africa 18months after the...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Good Grief….aka, All The Fun You Can Have Traveling In One Trip!

    Very sorry to hear it… The delays are all the reason to not book shorter trips. I have decided I will not go for any less then 8 full days of hunting in the event of a cancellation. My first flight to SA we had a lady lock herself in the bathroom for an hour and a half (because she was drunk)...

    As for the building layout, the separation is actually pretty straightforward thanks to the way it was originally designed. The structure is made up of two square units with a central breezeway in between, which makes it easy to divide the space. To fully separate the rental side (the duplex)...
