Great Report! It brings the memories right back. You spelled it Dimojo and I spelled his name Timodjo. Either way he is good at what he does. We would have really enjoyed 85-90 degrees. Like you said the later the hotter. We had 100-105+. Congratulations again on a great hunt and experience.

Enjoy the trip. I am looking forward to the report.

Your trip is getting close. I cant wait to hear the report. You and your dad are going to have a great time!

Or instead of a current production, you could buy yourself some history and get a pre-64 model 70! If you find a working gun, not a mint collector rifle, they can be had for decent prices.

I second Scanos' comment.

Welcome from a fellow Nevadan. I live in Sparks, so hello neighbor.

Many years ago I worked in Guatemala and Honduras in the heavy equipment arena. I personally saw some of the roads that Chinese companies built. One of them was less than 5 years old and it was little better than the Oregon trail after that short amount of time. There were kids filling in the...

That is a real nice old bull. What a great hunt. The Niassa is addicting.

I have been cleaning skulls for a couple decades now. Its grease still in the bone. Pigs are notorious for being extra greasy. It needs to soak in a degreasing agent. It can take a long time up to a couple weeks of longer to really get it out. Dawn dish soap and warm water will work. You...

What an incredible origin story. It shows that people can use their power and influence for good without looking for recognition or fanfare. I would like to imagine that if social media existed back then Mrs. Carter or her staff would not tweet about it. I do not think she would have.

Congratulations! What an adventure. The trials and tribulations ad so much to the experience.

Congratulations Mark! That must have been really exciting. We are sorry we weren't there to see the cat, hear the story, and raise a glass. We will cross paths again.

Ooh Boy! Seeing that lion must have been awesome. Great write up! Can't wait for the rest.

It's going to be a good one, I can't wait for rest! Next time we have to make a recording of the buffalo man song. Great start Caveman. I feel like an ass spelling Danie- Donny. Dumb American. Oh and by the way fellow AH'ers, if you have the opportunity, it's comforting having Caveman in...

Good luck. It will be a blast.

You are going to have a great time. It is an incredible place! I will be headed back in a couple years.

Thank you. It was a great hunt.

10/10/2023 We stayed up late last night so we had an easy 6 a.m. wakeup. Everyone wanted to go back to the waterhole to watch and enjoy. We were probably 200 yards short of the water hole when we heard the baboons making a racket. I thought to myself 'Predators'. AJ and Timodjo had a quick...

I remember. I was jealous that you were almost home. Funny how this site brings like minded people together in different ways. Hope you are well.

I forgot to add that the bush buck's bottom lip was split in half and healed. He only had one front tooth left in his bottom jaw.

We saw 2 bulls up close. One of them in must that we gave a wide berth. I saw four more at a distance. The day after we left there was a bull in camp.

Thank you! I could not be happier. I grew up working in an archery shop and we used to book bowhunters to South Africa. So I bow hunted there 18 years ago. It was my first trip to "wild africa". I am already planning on how to return.

Thank you. His teeth were loose. We figured he did not have many years left.

10/8/2023 The morning after the eland bull was an easy morning. We decided on a later start and had no plan or destination in mind. We just wanted to go and see what there was to see. Katherien opted to stay in camp that morning so AJ and I headed out for a look see. Mark, the other hunter...

The bushpigs were almost as numerous as the warthogs...crazy

The following 3 days The night of the buffalo hunt we stayed up past the generator, so the cell phone lights came out. You need to see when pouring the potato juice. Needless to say the following morning we did not leave camp till about 7. An eland bull was on the menu. AJ wanted to go and...

I have the same team of dogs. The Axis and the Allies. Sometimes mine get along about as good.

3 man from yesterday in Nevada. Always easy to call in sick when you are hunting with the boss.

So this all started, like most of us I imagine, with a dream about hunting in Africa. Almost 20 years ago I was able to bowhunt South Africa and that fed the dream. Life, finances, and all that non-sense got in the way of pursuing the dream. However, a year and a half ago I started to get...

In the late 90's I worked for family members that own a heavy equipment construction company in Central and South America. My father who was wheelchair bound for the latter portion of his life came down to visit for 3 weeks. He was able to navigate several Central American countries...

I design fire sprinkler systems. Basically draw circles and then connect the dots. My biggest goal is to not make the newspaper.

I worked for a large sporting goods retailer for 13 years and had a lot of exposure to nice rifles. I also worked with some people that had/have a vast knowledge of firearms. So I chose to go the historical American route and picked up a Winchester pre-64 model 70 in .375 H&H from a local...

It's hard not to put down dogs on birds when you live in Nevada.

It's time to introduce myself. I have been lurking (like many) on this site for some time now. I have worked in the outdoor industry off and on, more on, since I was 13 years old, now 46. I hunted South Africa back in 2005 where I took 9 animals with my bow. Since then I have spent my time...
