(This can be little boring,I'm not good with story's)Saturday,24 April I stood up 1:15 am.I got in the car with my family.We met up with our friends and we drove with 2 vans.We drove and stopped at Vryburg to eat some breakfast.We arrived about 16:00 in the Kalahari.Kalahari Lion Safari's has a beautiful Lodge.The next day we sighted the rifles in and started hunting.We first started hunting a lioness (one of our friends wanted to hunt one.)We got her that day after lot of effort.Then we started looking for Kudu and Gemsbok.Unfortnatly we were not successful.Monday we tried again and we got a "56 1/2" Kudu.We still didn't get a Gemsbok.We had a nice braai that night.We got up 5:45 the next morning.We ate breakfast and went to the hunting grounds.We saw lot's of Gemsbok.We finally got one that had such thick horn's, that we thought it was a bull,but when we came there it was a cow.Later that day we got nothing more.The next morning it was the same thing all over again.One of our friends got a warthog. That afternoon I finally got my red lechwe.He knew we were after him and just kept on running.When he finally stopped I got a shot in him.He fell down and I was overjoyed. The next day was a little boring, because we didn't see much.After lunch we headed out again,then we saw a little herd of black and copper Springbok.I took a black Springbok ram.Well.....then the safari came to an end.It was wonderful!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
