northwestern WI, 80 degrees and gorgeous. So odd

They are small, maybe didn't realize the demand, but no way the A frame can go away, arguably the best design available as an all around design.

Welcome to AH, ton's of info on here, many of us have been over multiple times, it never gets old

great update, we all enjoy the detail. Safe hunting and travels and can't wait to read the success story.

Love the effort, your gonna drive some of us to do the same. Congratulations

Stated above, why give up so much time to chase $. Time is money, and a sore set of legs, back, rear end and just dealing with people in an airport or airplane is miserable, make it as fast as you can. There is no trophy for time spent traveling and walking over $'s to pick up a few pennies...

RIP and stay safe all who are out there in the Bush.

WTF-Drinking water leads to drowning, driving cars, leads to drinking, so on and so on

Thanks for sharing, sorry for the poor memories. We will all learn from this one. Look for a redemption trip sometime. Best of luck

This was a fascinating question. To those of you with Ill health, Gods speed to a good recovery. Having been a few times, with wife and son in law and now going solo, I like it when the Outfitter, PH etc, make it reality that they too have some things to take care of. We as folks heading to SA...

Welcome from northwest woods of wisco You’ll love the anticipation of SA

someone before me said, hammer animals, that bushbuck and the Nyala are studs. Love the old blue wildebeest. We really appreciate your diary and sharing of the hunt, nice writing, gives a good base line to try and do the same when I am back over this fall. safe hunting!

Can I ask about that comment on RSA law prohibits a separate ammo box locked and separate. I've been to RSA 4 times, always had a pelican ammo case, locked and checked bags, never an issue and I've spent some time in both Tambo police office, we all know the spot and with the ATL border fellas...

Lot's of great suggestions. All personal or wallet dependent. Vortex PST Gen 2- 1 x 6- mil reticle and illuminated red dot. I now really like it, used on Buffalo twice at between 80 and 100 yds and a wildebeest at 260 and Eland at 160. I like it enough now, just threw a new one on a deer...

thanks for that post, I've been to RSA a few times but learning every time I read something from our hunters or our outfitters. I will be more forefront with ideas like this on my next visit to Africa.

Welcome, a Wisconsinite here. First trips are the best. This site is so full of info, don't feel bad, you can over analyze but here there are some super experienced hunters and outfitters. Determine your expectations, put it out for those to answer and you will have a great hunt. It's a true...

Thank you for sharing, great animals, nice nice deal. If I weren't already coming to RSA I would be all over this, as a bow hunter first for RSA animals. Thanks

A cheeshead here. Brie, my absolute favorite. warm, cold, bread, crackers, plain. Blue Cheese for me runs a tight second.

that is a nice selection of animals, what fun!

your good to go!

As mentioned, two is better than one, Stuff happens, if you like your guns, like creating the memories and stories you can share with Grandkids or friends. I find it much fun when I open up my safe and grab a gun, reliving what I have done with that gun. Take two, shoot different animals with...

Before you pick the caliber, perhaps pick the gun. WSM or std WIN or a PRC, they will have slightly different actions and bolt throws. I have a number of WSM, they can be finicky. However, a 60 degree bolt throw and a WSM and put that on your should and shoot and rack the bolt, there's a...

we are walking the adventure with you. My wife has been a sport, we have heads and skins and skulls all over our entire house and my giant heated barn, I owe her for that. What a thrill to have what your building. Enjoy the journey, painful as it might be.

What a fun package. If you love Buffalo this would be a blast. Timing is wrong for me but I’m gonna watch this for another occasion. All guns or could some bow chances be taken?

This sounds like a blast and what a chance to hone hunting skills

Best ammo I used in my 375. dang saw this late, would of purchased.

Currently have newer, old and older. each with it's function in life. A plow truck, an old sliverado, a crew cab 2500HD dura max for hauling equipment trailers. and almost new now, got it new, 3500 HD dura max for pulling fifth wheel and it rides nice so love it's creature comforts. Hope I...

Welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to share, heartfelt it was and I appreciate that. Congratulations to another chapter in your African hunting experiences.

I missed this. Welcome to the addict page, hunting elsewhere other than here in WI. Hayward area for me. Heading back to SA Aug 10. really smart people on here and ton's of experience, it's something to read. cheers.

Congratulations, enjoy the fun planning the next one.

Hayward area here Heading back to SA in august with son in law

Welcome to the site. Indeed it’s full of knowledge and entertainment. Another NW WI member from the Hayward area here. Was in RSA in Dec and going back in Aug. Go until I can’t Best of luck.

Everyone here has pointed our great ways to consider, what makes you happy, what you envision. And it's a growth thing too. I wanted a darn nice bull for the first one, wanted the "look" with curls and hard and etc. I'm not at the scrum head yet, but maybe someday. Maybe not. It's about...

All, Good day, I am in the same predicament of finding the appropriate 300 grain. I have my 375 sighted in with A frames, my PH would prefer them as well. I am leaving in November, game unknown, could be Cape, Eland, etc. But I can't find diddly and I search a lot and realize premiums, so the...

Welcome fellow WI hunter. I’m in NW wisco been to SA a couple times and loved it and going back two more times already scheduled. Shot some dandy animals. You will fall in love with hunting anywhere in Africa.

Thank you for all the recall and writing. Much appreciated.

Well done and we could feel the sentiment in your writing. Glad you made it. Put the pennies in the bank and try to get back. Great trophies and sounds like you hit the nice mix of relaxed and having that "hunting itch" at the same time. Safe travels next time.

Thank you for sharing your concern. And a lot of well made points all thru this discussion. Though dangerous game hunting is not new, Fred Bear set the bar, and he killed everything under the sun, as has Tom Miranda and so on. Life is a risk, but it's not that risky. Preparation, within...

way to go, beautiful animals, great times, great memories. thanks for sharing

Going to our first hunt in SA, sort of a fluke to even get to go, ended up like a reset button for our marriage that didn't need it. It was an epiphany of sorts. Showed how a culture while in the bush anyway, is unburdened by the bull shit we deal with in the more modern world. We fell in...

All preference what to buy and what to carry. I won’t go in the woods without my bino’s in their harness on me. Don’t care if rifle or bow. Bino’s come with. I use them non stop. When I did plains game spent 40% of my time behind them checking out the bush or the sizing. When you elk hunt 90%...

How can some trips go flawless and then this debacle. never ever heard of the CAA getting involved going US to RSA and back. safe travels hunters hope you get there asap

Feeling your pain Please continue to share as able. It’s unreal what your doing but we appreciate the info a ton. Fingers crossed for you.

R&M Firearms, Thank you for treating all of us AH folks to the opportunity

Ditto to above, many of us travel for a living and thru ATL often, I wouldn't like an hour, why kill yourself. that 2.5 to 3 hour is the comfort for baggage handling as well.
