My wife and I are heading to SA for our first safari this summer (2018). Also, our daughter is posted with the Peace Corps in Botswana so it will be over a year since we have seen her. We are going to the Dixie Deer Classic the first weekend of March 2018 to interview a couple of outfitters. Any questions you think we should ask would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome a lot of good outfitters on this site and deals! 1. How many acres do you hunt? How many hunters do you hunt per property a year?How often do you stalk game? Do you hunt the breeding population or the older animals that are kicked out of the herd? Do you have free range property?

You're hunting in SA and visiting her in Botswana, correct? Or is she meeting you in SA and will she be joining you on the safari?

I used to live in Fayetteville, many years ago. Now I'm in Savannah, GA, Neighbor!

I guess will all depend on if she joins you .... Location , flexability to accommodate you and total cost . Good luck sure you will make the right decision. References in your area might also be a good option !

Welcome aboard DLG. AH is like a gigantic encyclopedia for all hunting related topics. You need to see what has already been written about the questions you have and or the topics that interest you. The search function on AH is very powerful. I suggest you start there.
 
Welcome to the forum DLG! You’re going to have a grand trip, especially since you will get to see your daughter!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
