Crate is mine

Yea i went to tx with him and got on specks and then we went for the redheads and pintails. Awesome trip! But yea ive been goin to him for bout 12/14 years now
 
Odds are pretty good then that we crossed paths there at some point. Most of the hunts that he takes people on my son and I spearheaded for him. We go and check them out, if they're good hunts then he starts taking groups. Good for his business and gives him lots of work. Have you gone on his Ontario bear hunt yet?
 
We prob have crossed paths! Wife always tells me ill be up there 6hrs haha its. Its not that long but she knows not to wait around me for anymore! Yea he def gets alotof business out of them hunt. Smart business plan! Nah bear is not too high on my list right now. Got a couple more africa hunts then i gotta throw in a elk hunt at somepoint then ill start thinking bout bear.
 
I'm hoping to get my first crate back in late April and another in late June. I was hoping to pick them both up since I live <3 hours from ATL. I have a hard time paying $500 per crate for what you described to a broker, that can go towards this years hunt! Does USDA have to clear anything if all the taxidermy has been done in South Africa or just USFW and Customs? Thanks

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
