Like Tanks, I also have the app on my phone. Laptop and ipad didn't go to Africa on any of my adventures but the phone was with me. While not the best thing, it works. My iPad I figured out how to adjust the settings inside the kindle app to make the brightness and screen actually enjoyable when...

Not everyone has a kindle or wants to buy a dedicated reader. Case in point, only reason I ever got the app was because the book I wanted wasn't available anywhere in print but kindle had it. So I had to, begrudgingly, become a kindle app user. For me the ipad or my laptop are just easier...

Yes, if you download the kindle reader to your laptop and download your library. If you've got wifi I would think you could access online content and purchase/view. That's what I did on my ipad and have the same on my laptop I bring to work.

I have inreach on my garmin gps unit I use both here at home hunting and take it with me to Africa in the event camp wifi goes down etc. Plus the wife and kids like being able to pull up the map and see my tracks and just how much stalking I'm doing to Rum consumption :-) Like others have said...

I have the Leupold QR on my 375 and have had no problems with it going right back to zero.

Thanks for posting this. Gives a bit of perspective on my hunting life and gives me 2 cartridges I haven’t looked at in depth to do more research on.

Contact Johan Van Wyk @EXECUTIVE HUNT AFRICA. That’s where I did mine and it was a great experience.

I think I commented on this forum before but it just popped back up in my feed. I reiterate the ideas of I'd rather have a knife and not need it than as to need and not have. I use my field knife as a screwdriver, prybar and all manners of other things. A multitool could certainly fill the need...

If I hadn't just came back from a trip! This is a hell of an offer! I hope someone grabs this up soon.

I agree with tundra that both times I have used them it was a streamlined process and made everything coming into Joberg quicker and easier Pay for the VIP service, I was not disappointed.

Hunted a lion without telling the wife until it was over and in the sand…pretty tame in comparison to some of these!

Wow, those are some masterpieces!

She loved it but now I’ve created a monster! She’s already talking about a kudu bull for her next trip.

Welcome to AH!

Rings will be in the mail by Friday. Work tomorrow and drive to Atlanta to coppersmiths to recover my trophies from my last 2 trips.

Recently posted a hunting report/review on my latest trip. Spoke about my daughter falling in love with hunting and how she wanted me to help her find binos and gear for this fall here at home. AZDave reached out and is sending her a pair of binos he had at home and wasn’t using. He wouldn’t let...

Hunting buddy for sure! Maybe I won't have to work so hard to fill the freezer now!

Once Africa Gets Hold of You This is a long one, but if I'm going to tell you a story of my experience, I'm going to be accurate as I can. Someone on one of these forums said years ago that once you hunt Africa, you will keep going back. No truer words have I ever read. I just completed my...

I was reading another thread on Forums today where a member that planned a hunt a year or better out was contacted by their PH with a 42% increase on their package hunt due to current world events and how it's affecting their costs. So I don't know if this is just an excuse for companies to make...

Being as this is my first time shipping anything from RSA I deferred to my taxidermist in who he recommends and uses the most. This is with Safari Cargo Solutions. I think on this years hunt I'll be doing some research in between completion and shipping. Perhaps TTS since I'm a life member with...

Just wanted to throw some current numbers in here. Just got shipping quote from South Africa to ATL, see below. Granted my crate is quite large, with 2 hunts worth of trophies, the shipping agent from SA did say due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East it's causing for increases in...

Still have this available? Any pictures you could put up?

I work as a Paramedic. Dreamt of going to Africa and spoke of it so much that my wife finally gut checked me one night about 4 years back and said figure out how to do it and go. Having young kids at home I thought this would be all but impossible. But as others have said, prioritize, plan and...

I took a couple bottles of obscure hard to find bourbons with me as gifts for my PH and my taxidermist this last go around. Put them in bubble wrap and put them in my check bag. No issues.

I promised to write a review of this hunt and I still will! Upon returning home I got caught up with catching up with work from taking time off and then the hurricane named Helene hit. Needless to say where I live (Western NC), and my career (Emergency Services) everything got back burner...

I got over rode by the spouse unit today due to 2 vehicles needing new tires going into fall/winter sorry to have wasted your time friend! I hope you are able to sell.

If Cmwkwarrwn doesn’t follow through hit me up. I’m interested.

My most recent trip I used DGX 300 grain in my 375 and took a giraffe, Cape buffalo, wildebeest and eland all with one shot each. People may hate on them but I’m a firm believer in they work. I’ll be posting a review of my safari soon and I have pictures of the recovered bullets. Shot placement...

This is brilliant didn’t know it was a thing. I’ll have to look for these

This is very similar to what I did last year. I burnt through a ton of 22 ammo running drills off sticks. I pushed myself out to close to 100 yards. A month out from Safari I burnt through a couple boxes of 375 just to get the feel of it. Highly recommend for anyone to do for practice.

Awesome! Best of luck! I’m off in about 3 weeks to North West province. Been 11 months since my first safari and I can’t wait to get back.

Fish in the river…are there any truer words this time of year?

Congrats on your retirement! I hope you get to enjoy these years to the fullest and have many adventures. Drop me a 10digit grid and I’ll come help you kill a couple bottles and cigars

Absolutely love the community that this forum fosters! Was going to offer up my assistance but Azdave has you covered. Cheers!

I’d probably go for the one on the right. But what do I know, I’ve never hunted a buffalo.

Thanks for the compliment on the kudu, he was honestly the trophy I went there for! Being my first safari I elected to use my PHs rental gun, a CZ 550 in 375H&H. I’ll be taking my Winchester model 70 in 375 in two months when I go. The ammo were some of my PHs reloads. Fairly certain he uses...

Perhaps it’s a regional thing or just how was brought up but I never leave the house without a blade of some sort on my person. I have a handmade fixed blade in a sheath a good friend made for me and I wear that even in my Sunday clothes. Carry a knife or not is your choice, but I would rather...
