Congrats

RIP and condolences to family

Travel insurance is a good idea. MedEvac hopefully not necessary but peace of mind makes it worth it to me. Everything else trust your outfitter. Enjoy and looking forward to hunt report.

Well done by all, having your dad, brother, SIL and nephew along make for lifelong memories.

Outstanding report. I also have had the pleasure of hunting with Nick Bowker hunting with Benjamin as my PH. So question, when you headed back?

Well done. Thank you for the report

Welcome Sir!

I would have been in a bad situation with a wounded buff but outfitter/PH made the absolute right call and got me out of the field for my protection. The bull ended up doing quite of bit of damage to Michael Sipple and the trackers literally saved his life. Happy to report Michael continues on...

Prayers and condolences.

I learn more here by your post Sir than all reading of news anywhere else. Thank you for your service and thoughtful responses. BZ

It will be a blast. Enjoy, they will take good care of you!

Bayly Sipple safaris has a deal with a large cattle ranch that adjoins one of their properties in the Limpopo region of South Africa. The kudu eat the cattle pellets and are protein enhanced. The ranch puts out citrus pulp to try and draw the kudu off the protein pellets. You get the idea...

My apologies, I assumed that the hunt was complete. Heck it could stop here and would be a complete success. Please Sir, continue with the report. We are all enjoying your writing style and of course the trophies.

An absolute perfect hunt, well done by all.

Outstanding!

39 mm lite weight and not so expensive that if lost or broken that it would ruin a hunt. Would be pissed but not crushed.

What a stud!

Please please YGBSM!

Outstanding and the family aspect made it even sweeter. Well done. 6.5 cm giraffe. Who woulda thunk?

Thank you for the report. Well done

Opposite end of the spectrum. First Africa Safari, first Africa animal. Ben Pringle PH, Nick Bowker Safaris in the east cape. I also could not can not judge trophy quality on the fly. We were not hunting water buck at the time but I distinctly remember Ben almost hissing “waterbuck, bloody big...

Especially if you wanted to eat. Cooks, medical, pay specialists can ruin your day, week, month etc.

Enjoying your groups report! Thanks

Congrats Hunter Habib!

Sir, respectfully the trackers name are mentioned several times. Washington & Alfred, I am sure this is an unfortunate oversight on your part. Just trying to make sure the trackers are known.

Washington not only killed the buffalo but coordinated probably 10 men to machete a trail so Mike could be brought out and applied first aid. The reason I know this is it was my hunt. My hearing so bad from military that even with hearing aids and all around fitness level poor Mike knew I was a...

Please a prayer request for Michael Sipple of @BAYLY SIPPEL SAFARIS. He was charged and injured by Cape buffalo. The company statement is on FB for more info. Moderators don’t know if I can reference FB here and don’t know how to attach. The important thing is the prayer request.

Please a prayer request due to Michael Sipple being mauled by a Cape buffalo. Bayly Sipple Safaris on FB for company statement.

Thanks I will ask about it

Prayers Sir! May recovery be swift and total.

currently sitting in camp with Bayly Sipple at their north camp. Buff and an add on kudu. Rut going for kudu. Everyone have a great and safe trip.

Just a pic that I saw yesterday on Bayly Sipple with Michael Sipple on my buff hunt currently.

Well you now have the Africa bug, my one trip is now about to be my third. Congrats and what a wonderful thing having your father along.

More than likely a democrat when confronted with logic versus feelings. More common than you think, some view this as cruelty to others but often necessary. ;-)

Enjoy, it will be a blast!

Swaro check with R&M for a good deal on glass. A sponsor here and a wealth of knowledge however you go.

Both EC with Nick Bowker Safaris. Free range low fence. All credit goes to PH’s Benjamin Pringle and Meyrick Bowker. Being there rut helps, going back to SA leave this Saturday for a buff and kudu with BaylySipple different but looking forward to it. Time for a greater kudu and first buff.

GoRuck, nice boot and at the bottom of cost ladder. I think the mac2 over the mac1 (Mac I think is the model, it sure)

Yes Sir in that case giving freedom for safety, but a very large but, I do so of my free will. The other case which you are speaking for it is done without my consent, knowledge or approval. I served government as retired military and trust most of it however in any organization there are bad...

I believe it was Ben Franklin who said someone who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither and I concur. However I defend your right to your opinion.

362 was furthest successful shot, 470 was a clean miss. Most were 100-225. PH had laser range finder built into leica binoculars. Remember you will be on sticks and PH May support your elbow. Enjoy and trust your PH they will make sure it works!

Don’t know of shipping however if you stay with Afton Safari Lodge I believe they will store your firearms while you photo safari then return when you hunt and vice versa

I own one and used for deer season here just to help get comfortable with it. Love it. Buff and kudu early May, trust so much only taking one rifle. I have put it through numerous stress test and functioned as desired. Love it and was able to save enough to put a Swarovski Z6i 1.7 on top Talley...

Just what is this so called Air Force?

GLWS, Mark is a true gentleman and a pleasure to do business with. Buy with confidence

Thank you Sir!

Nicely done!

Oh well you have an invite anyway, I can use the vegamite to keep critters out of my garden. Actually thinking the 35 Bob Nelson whelen as feral pig medicine. Use a sig 716 now. Wish the BN 35 whelen would have been here sooner to acquire due to end of the month back to Africa for a buffalo and...
