Well folks it’s official. I booked my plane tickets and am South Africa bound September 9th. Buffalo round 2, blue and black wildebeest, and maybe a Kudu are on the menu this go round. I want to take another buffalo and Beans with Tootabi Valley Safaris made me an offer I couldn’t refuse! Beans and I have become good friends over the years and I hunted with Andri Fox who is his cousin the first time I went. Both Beans and Andri have become family and I’ve always said I wanted to have the opportunity to chase buffalo with Beans also.
I’m so dang excited I can’t see straight and now all there is, is to wait the grueling 7 months :eek: which is the hardest part for me.
 
I can't say enjoy the wait but the preparation is all part of the hunt.
What rifle bullet combo are you going to use and where in SA are you going to hunt?
 
For PG my trusty 06 shooting 165 gr TTSX and buff my double with 300gr TSX
 
You lucky dog! Taking the family again? Going to see Fred the blesbok again? Can you tell I’m jealous? But seriously, congrats and have a great hunt!
 
Awesome bud! Looking forward to the report!
 
Congrats on the booking, keep us posted on your double rifle practice.
 
Awesome! About time!
I’m interested to see how you little double does on buff. It was very fun to get to shoot. Thanks! Of course it made me want one!

unfortunately I can’t afford to take the family this time so it’s a guys trip. We won’t be in the Kalahari so I won’t see Fred :(
 
We will be in SA at the same time.:eek: Will be in Limpopo doing much the same thing with Lalamanzi.(y)
where are you flying out of and what airlines. Be great if by some coinkidink we were on the same flight.
 
Sounds like fun gizmo, these next 7 months will go by faster if you practice shooting more often than watching the calendar days slip by one by one.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I will already be there when you leave home. Flying out of Seattle a week ahead of you on Emirates for Dubai-Joberg.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
