Inspiration

I'll have to say my living room. It is where most my African trophies are, except the Warthog which is in our office. Wife didn't like him outside, so he is keeping company to my FL hog. LOL!!!!

It may not be African, but I love that classic French Empire yellow.
 
In my little hangout, the outdoors is kinda in your face... with Africa mixed right in.

Also, the smell of steaks cooking over the firepit takes me back there.

We are going on a very brief three day meat hunt tomorrow, zebra, couple of impala, just the three of us and Josiah our camp hand. Decided to set up the full camp, tents, kitchen the lot, so our inspiration has been looking at the requirements and past lists and planning. This is a dry run for the safari in July, there will be 6 of us on that one, full on retro.

Sunset over our braai takes me back to Africa every time.

I'm so jealous right now. Good luck!!

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

may I suggest Intaba Safaris in the East Cape by Port Elizabeth, Eugene is a great guy, 2 of us will be there April 6th to April 14th. he does cull hunts(that's what I am doing) and if you go to his web site he is and offering daily fees of 200.00 and good cull prices. Thanks Jim
Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
