Trophy & Non Trophy Hunt 20 Animals From US$4,500

I'm in for first week of July, not for the cull hunt but for kudu, black wildebeest, blesbuck, springbuck, mountain reedbuck, impala, waterhog, with an add-on nyala. First time to Africa, it'll be hard to wait another 10 months! Nick has been great to work with, I had some email issues with replies going into my junk mail folder, nearly blew it on my dates I wanted, but all good now. Contacted several of the references he offered, enjoyed speaking and emailing them, gave me a good feeling about making my first safari with Nick.
Jennifer at Travel Express has been a great resource getting airline tickets, overnight stay in Johannesburg and travel insurance squared away quickly, would certainly recommend their services.

Just start planning your second hunt. :whistle: July? Take winter clothes.
:LOL:

Lol No kidding Hogpatrol, though I'd rather be hunting when it's cold. I do alot of field work year around here in the Ohio River Valley states, it's much easier to dress up for warmth than to try to stay cool.
I already have List #2 bouncing around in my head (gemsbuck, bushbuck, red hartebeest, etc). Cape Buffalo maybe....
 
Lots of rain and plenty of animals for anyone wanting some serious trigger time

All the best and maybe next year

My impression is that the mountain reedbuck are fairly tough to hunt. (I mean that they are elusive.) Is that correct? If it is, is it reasonable to expect to take 5 of them plus the other animals in 8 days?
My first African animal was a trophy Mountain Reedbuck I got within the first 5 minutes of my first hunt. Not far from this area. Then on a Vaal Rhebok and Aoudad hunt, also in the East Cape, the damned Mountain Reedbuck all over the place kept blowing my stalks;)

I'd love to cull a few....
 
That's a hot barreled hunt! Sounds like fun!

Warthog are the stalk blowers in our neck of the woods

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
