SOUTH AFRICA: Tootabi Valley Safaris, LBG Safaris & Hunting With Friends

Best of luck!! Looking forward to the updates and reports!!
 
Oh, I almost forgot....
......... How do you get those pesky nuisance animals to leave your badger bait alone?
..........

I've heard using a larger caliber rifle at the little red spot on this picture will aid in the reduction of bait consumption.

Best of luck on the adventure Royal. Look forward to updates.
 
Dang it!!!! Sorry I will miss you, but not cancelling trip either! :A Banana:

I would fuss at you if you even consider it. Have a great deal of fun.:A Big Hello:
 
Royal hope you have a blast. From the photos, it looks like you will be hunting 24 hours per day.

Have a great time with Bossie and Beans. Sounds like a fun time.

Look forward to hearing all about it.

Thanks Bob!

Bossie promised me at least three hours per day to relax. I told him it didn't seem like much time to be at the lodge and he said that relaxing time was in the blind. :eek: :rolleyes: :cool:

In all seriousness I don't think either Bossie or Beans is planning to have much down time and I wouldn't have it any other way! I can sleep at home.
 
You are a fortunate man....I wish I was in your shoes! Have a safe and adventurous trip!
 
The first fun of the trip!!!

Sitting in the airport with @buddy48 and had a lady come sit next to me and ask if I hunted Africa. Told her I did of course.

She told me that people like me don't have a conscious and will pay for it in the afterlife, basically that I was going to hell for the sin of hunting. I smiled and told her to have a great trip. No sense talking to people like that.

We've had a good laugh and maybe it made her feel better too. ;)
 
Good for you Royal - but it's easier to have that perspective when you're off on an adventure, rather than sitting down to dinner in a restaurant! However, I resolve to take your example . . .
 
Nice for taking the high road @Royal27 !
 
It really was funny... when she sat down and asked I could already see the hate in her eyes. So I wasn't blindsided. Smiling and telling her to have a nice day made her madder than anything else I could have said. She was one of those for sure!
 
Good for you royal. I couldn't have resisted the temptation to tell her where and how to piss off.
 
Only because she wanted me to Erik! Not gonna give someone like that what they want.

Yes but it sure is quite fun and gratifying.

Royal have a awesome trip and tell beans Dan say hi and say hello to my two little buddies of his voovoo and rigby.
 
Wow what a nice start to your trip. Your a better man then me because I would have told her some real facts. Well now you have a story to tell bossie when you land. I hope you got her email so you can send her pictures of your trip. LOL

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
