Pretty good way to some it up. Trying to put one together in two years that will include the wife. She is not a hunter, but fully supportive of my addiction. Any ideas....Another poor soul whos life will never be complete again !
One more trip to Africa dear , just one !!!!
Yeah right !
You had a great hunt with great people , well done .
\My wife came with me to Namibia and she dosnt hunt .Pretty good way to some it up. Trying to put one together in two years that will include the wife. She is not a hunter, but fully supportive of my addiction. Any ideas....
I would never be anything other than honest. If not, what is the point? My mistakes are my own, and I fully accept them. I also thank you for recognizing that!! I made an assumption that most everyone that had hunted in Africa would understand. I am hoping to reach those who have not hunted there, and might train themselves a little differently. But, thank you for your thoughts. I was hoping that someone like you would confirm that my failures were not as bad as I made them out to be... I can promise that I will shoot much better the next trip.!! What an education I have gotten from this trip. Thanks to all who have taken the time to respond to my gibberish. This iste is an incredible resource fo all who want to travel to Africa!! Thank you for taking the time to keep it going!!Jeffrey................thanks for the great report. congrats on the fine trophies. And I really appreciate sharing your failures as well as your successes. We have all missed our eland or kudu or the equivalent. Africa does that to us. If you don't get excited while hunting in Africa, you have no passion..........well done..........................FW Bill
I wasn't embarrassed, but really disappointed. I know I can shoot, and I have never had a problem with buck fever.......until now. Once I got over being in Africa"yeah right!", I was fine. Thanks for your thoughts and comments. I spend some time every night planning my next trip, and how I can make it a pleasant experience for my wife, so I can begin to plan my 3rd trip.....Great write up and you got some good animals. Tough missing those shots but there isn't a hunter who hasn't got caught up in the excitement and flubbed one. I've got my share of them in Africa. You learned some lessons that will be valuable on your next trip, namely an expediter for your gun clearance. I use one and my clearances at SAPS rarely take more than five minutes with no requests for gratuities. Thanks for the story and pics.
Yes sir, quite right! My disease is progressing as expected. I am planning the next installment now!Thanks for taking us along for the good times and the disappointments. They all go together to finish in a wonderful trip!
Now you’re addicted! Welcome to our disease!
