Fun! If you could find out what town she is nearest to, that is a good place to start. I have not been to Kruger but likely will someday! We had about a half day in Addo... unfortunately it was cut short but we certainly enjoyed it. I never really wanted to go to Africa as I had a long list of...

Do you know if you get outside of Jo'berg?

I think you also posted on Africa Hunting and have received quite a few responses there. I will throw in my two cents here. There is a ton to do in RSA. My experience is limited to the East Cape region Shark Dive - Way worth it! Elephant Back ride in National Park - My girls loved it. It did...

Thanks much, I will look further into Emirates.

How are Emirites with firearms?

They have been on my list for a very long time; however the ranches I have hunted did not have them or there was too little time. This chap has a few on his mountain property which he only visits about once a year. Not sure what to expect as far as vaalies, but know that I will have a good...

I just wired my money to RSA for a hunt later this year. First leg of the hunt is five days: 6 impala culls 1 trophy Grysbok 1 trophy cape bushbuck 1 cull warthog will negotiate further if time allows. I have a feeling something else will be added. The second leg is still in the talks but...

Flights seem to be running higher this year (2019). I have been waiting for sales for the trip I have planned in May and have not seen any come through yet. The prices are not unreasonable, I just like to find deals.

I like his antler color and configuration, pretty deer. Congratulations

Congratulations on what must have been a very wonderful hunt.

Your first two should be quite fun and I wish you luck. Let's hope you get to the icing! Have fun!

With the kids: be sure to learn the rules. My first trip over was with two daughters (12 and 16) and I didnt need a thing. The next trip over with just the youngest and I needed all kinds of paperwork. I had everything and didnt have a problem. Cannot recall where I found the rules. Check...

Ten to twelve seems to be about right for the entry level plains game hunt. I did the last one for much less. It really just depends on what you want to do. For me, travelling from the west coast airfare is 1300 to 1500 round trip. Find a package that interests you for 7 days or more which...

So far, on three trips to RSA and using four PH's, I have used a total of 5 PH rifles. All have been good, not great, but good. All in good shape and usually show lots of wear. I think they call it a patina on some antique shows... Though I have been quite satisfied, I plan on taking my own...

That is going to be really cool! Make sure to post photos!
