Oh where to start? I’m sitting in the Johannesburg airport thinking about the last 10 days. I guess I will start with the fact that I’m not a very good writer and my grammar and punctuation is probably worst. Please bear with me and ask any questions that have not been covered. I’ll try to get...
I’ve came through Johannesburg with my 16 year old daughter on the 5th. I had the paperwork notorized and her birthday certificate. No one were asked for anything. But we had used Gracy travel and had Michael walking us through everything. I can say how easy Gracy made everything. We will fly...
Day 3 is finished and we are half way done with our hunt already. But after dinner tonight we made plans for our next trip. So as the sun set we now have 9 animals in the salt with todays kills adding another warthog, impala, and gemsbok to the pile. I’ll save the pictures for our final hunt...
Day 2 is over. Sara blesbok was dead not far from where they stopped the track last night. More arrows were shot today and we ended up with a kudu, female eland, and a warthog in the salt. We are all having a great time.
Our second full day is about to start. Sara shot a blesbok about an hour before dark last night. The shot in the video looked almost perfect. Maybe a hair low but should have been dead in about 50 yards. Thet bumped it as it was getting dark but had to leave it overnight due to the amount of...
We have made it to City Lodge. It is our anniversary so I had emailed Hannah at Gracy travel and the had us a bucket of beer and some flowers in the room. Sara is in the room next door with interconnected rooms. I’ll save all the travel details for the whole write up, but it’s been almost...
Awesome first hunt. We have a little over a week before we leave on our first trip. Hannah from Gracy is awesome and has been helping us with our trip. Hopefully we will have a great report to share when we get back
Thanks for your input!! We are going to be carrying a couple of Sony 4k video cameras with us and I also have a A6400 Sony for pictures. We have taken turns videoing each other on deer hunts and have some cool memories on film. We are nowhere close to professionals but hopefully we can put...
All our arrows are built and bows are shooting awesome. I think we have everything we need for the trip. We are just a little over 3 weeks out before we are there.
We went to the Whitetail Unlimited banquet again last week and it looks like we are going to be going back to South Africa again...
Me, my wife and daughter leave on July 4th. My daughter and I will be hunting and plan on taking Iron Wills standard solids and wides, Grim Reaper Hades Pro 4 blades, QAD exodus, Slick Trick Mags, Magnus Black Hornets and Stingers, and maybe some more. We have used all of these on deer and pigs...
Working on Sara’s arrows. Easton Axis 500’s, 24” long with 50 grain brass inserts and waiting on Iron Will 10 grain collars. Total arrow weight will be right at 400 grains.
We have upped her draw weight from 52 to 60lbs and added 35 grains to her arrows.
She has had pass throughs on pigs and...
The bowhunting area doesn’t get a lot of post so I’m going to start one that will be a blog/idea/gear of or upcoming trip.
I’ll start it where I started. I’ve always wanted to hunt in Africa since since the days of VHS tapes and seeing people hunt the dark continent. I’m 44 years old and...
I will be 44 this July when we go to South Africa for the first time, my wife and our youngest daughter 16 will be with us. My wife and I will be celebrating our anniversary in Johannesburg on the day we land. We have our first grand baby due 12 days after we return. Going to be a great summer.
I’ve been reading the forums for a few weeks and decided it was time to join. I live about 45 minutes west of Atlanta. I’ve been a lifelong hunter and planning my first trip to South Africa this summer. My wife and 16 year old daughter will be going with me. I primarily bow hunt and that’s what...
