I booked this hunt with Robert Fithian and his son Cody of Alaskan Mountain Safaris at SCI three years ago. I was planning to hunt with my good friend Gary but sadly he had a knee injury about six weeks from our departure date. I flew on a scheduled charter to the tiny village of McGrath and...

I'll be fortunate once again to fly in Qatar's QSuite business class for our Zimbabwe Safari this July. My youngest son Jasper is graduating HS so the hunt and the plane ride are a bit of a graduation present. After seeing sky high prices for Delta and Qatar I was becoming discouraged about the...

We all enjoyed the 11th annual AH dinner and get together at Gilleys! DSC this year was bittersweet as the convention leaves Texas for 5 years. It was good to catch up with old friends! See y’all in Nashville. Regards Philip

On Christmas Day, after all the gift giving and prime rib eating, we decided to get my 17yo son on sticks with my .375 Ruger barrel (topped with the Z8 1.7-13.3X that we discussed at length in my DG scopes video) on his Blaser R8 Pro S to get ready for our buffalo hunt in Zim. He has shot up all...

Here is a video where I discuss my journey in finding the ultimate DG scope. Bombs away!

I am selling my like new Leica Geovid PRO 10x32 binoculars. These are the new compact version of their excellent line of range finding binos.

August 10-19, 2023 My third trip to the Omay was to be for leopard and possibly buffalo. I would have some companions on this trip which was to make for a fun time. @TOBY458 would be making his second appearance in the Omay and I would have @Rare Breed , Craig Hodnett (AKA the foot terrorist)...

What can I say about my 18th trip to Africa and my 5th hunt with Frontier Safaris? I've been so many places over the years and have hunted with so many quality outfitters. It has always been a good time. However when I have a group of folks wanting to go in their first safari I know there is one...

Hunting Namibia with Frontier Safaris I departed June 6th along with my wife and four other couples for Namibia. We were all booked in to hunt 10 Days with Frontier Safaris on their 130,000 acre Daweb Sud game farm in southern Namibia near Keetmanshoop. It was a very attractive package that the...

I love Thunderbeast Arms suppressors. So much so that I did a video of the Ultra 5. I have always wanted a quality .375 suppressor for hunting But there seems to be few on the market. I contacted Thunderbeast and they said they could make a run of Dominus (7", Titanium) in .375 if there was...

I wanted to start a thread about the SCI Convention, which will be January 31-February 3rd in Nashville, and provide updates for those who may not be a member or just may not be in the loop on the latest. Convention Registration is not yet open. Hotel Reservations just opened for Life Members...

We spent the whole week at he SCI Convention in Nashville. We attended all the evening banquets and took in a couple of seminars. I volunteered on the exhibitor and attendee welcome teams and enjoyed that. It was great, as usual, to see our friends from around the world and meet some news ones...

Here is a video I created recently about my hunting suppressors. There are many, many misconceptions about suppressors. There are also many that don't understand the process and don't know of the far superior hunting suppressors on the market now. What has kept you from hunting with a...

I've never taken a really big trophy Whitetail although ive hunted my whole life. After years of intensive management this buck came my way. This is a home raised buck and one ive seen near my home for a few years now,

Trip Report - Zimbabwe & Tanzania 2022 I had organized a group of hunters for a 10 day hunt in Zimbabwe and then fairly last minute for me I booked a hunt in Tanzania as well. It would be another 10 day hunt immediately following the Zimbabwe hunt. This made for an interesting flight itinerary...

After an epic lion hunt in 2016, I knew I would someday return to the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe for another safari. At some point, I decided I would begin planning a return to the Omay and take a few others along with me to share the experience. A safari of this nature does take a bit of...

Here is my latest video with some thoughts to consider as you select an outfitter and plan a safari. This is directed towards a typical plains game safari that you would find in South Africa or Namibia.

Frontier Safaris - Eastern Cape Safari 2022 It has been a real joy for me to organize groups of hunters to join me on safari. Whether it is South Africa, Namibia, or Zimbabwe I have enjoyed bringing others along with me to share this adventure of a lifetime. This hunt has been planned for a...

I couldn’t wait for the hunting conventions to handle and purchase the new Blaser Carbon Shooting Stick 2.0. It took some time to get these since they came from Germany but it was well worth the wait. I have to say Blaser has done it again. They have a product unlike any on the market today. The...

Jennifer and I went back and forth on whether or not to have a big 50th birthday party for me. We decided we should have a big night for the big bday! She organized everything and I am thankful for that. We had Peter Furler, fresh off the United tour with Newsboys (founder but now solo) along...

Santa was determined to get everyone set for the next safari. Jennifer and Jasper are set to travel with me and my group of 14 hunters to the Eastern Cape in June for a 10 day PG Safari with Frontier Safaris. Jasper, 15 years old, received a Pelican Air suitcase while the lovely Jennifer got an...

Qatar announced new service to directly compete with Emirates. They will serve Zambia and Zimbabwe with the same flight much like Emirates does. This is just one more option for those of us traveling to these destinations and puts price pressure on that big airline that flies out of ATL...

There are some in my group who would like to bring their favorite bottle to camp. With all the cancellations I find myself, after 15 trips, on a totally new route to Africa! If we are going to hit the duty free shops for a bottle of whiskey, scotch, etc which one should we choose? I would assume...

We have a fantastic banquet coming up soon so I thought why not make it an AH get together! San Angelo Chapter of SCI is the #2 Chapter for fundraising currently. We have a huge live auction, silent auction, and the best bucket raffles as well. We have a truly upscale event to rival any you’ve...

I am selling my Swaro binos. These have been on very few hunts and are in good condition. The EL Range has great glass and an amazing range finder. I have used it to set up my shooting ranges and it has worked well. I love Swarovski and have many binos, scopes, and a spotting scope and have...

I am finally ready to upgrade my Swarovski EL Range binos for one of the new models. I have looked at extensively and nearly bought the Leica Geovid 3200 10x42 binos last year. They have had this technology for years but just last year came out with bluetooth connectivity to not only their app...

We are always discussing calibers for hunting PG in Africa here on AH so I had an idea. There is always the discussion of getting guys to move up in caliber a bit from their typical deer hunting rounds to have a little more knock down power for the much tougher African game. Actually it is...

I have a brief rundown of the various shooting sticks here and discuss their application in preparing for your next safari. I believe shooting and hunting off sticks regularly is the best safari prep a person can do. Regards, Philip PS Checkout how little recoil there is from my Tikka 7mm Mag...

Packing for Safari - My Video Here is a video we put together about packing for Safari. Hope you enjoy!

Cameroon Savanna Safari As with any great adventure this one was long in the planning. I booked my Lord Derby Eland hunt with The Hunting Consortium at SCI last year. Plans were made for me to hunt with Faro Coron Safaris in Cameroon on the Faro River. The only thing about using an agent is...

I always seem to find some kind of controversy no matter what path I take. Last year I was keen to go on a mountain lion hunt and booked a hunt in New Mexico with Global Sporting Safaris for this year. Being about 7 hours drive from the hunting area I booked this hunt to be an on call hunt so...

One of the best things to come along for traveling hunters in my opinion is the Airline Apps baggage tracking feature. Knowing your gun case was scanned onto the plane is a great reassurance that as you kick back for that first movie and adult beverage all is well with your bags! Just make sure...

Finally got my lion mounted from my 2016 Safari in Zim.
