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!

Good to hear! I know you will have a good time. I will likely be there before you in May or June of 2019. Juan and I are still discussing the species list and other details. About the time I think we have a list nailed down... I think of something else.

I just received my latest box from Africa only yesterday. I think I need to go again and have been loosely planning it for awhile. I left my PH a game cam the last trip and he sends me photos. Likely I will do as I did last two and use the same two outfits for the next hunt. 1) with LJ Safaris...

I have a co-worker that hunted with them and enjoyed the experience.

One of my PH's sent an offer to me the other day: 10 springbok 5 blesbok 8 warthog 7 days/6 hunting days $5800 That's 23 critters in 6 days! Last year I went to a different outfit to cull 8 critters, 3 of which were kudu for about 2700... I cannot remember the price but that is close. Im going...

Good job dad! Beautiful Photo and one to be framed. Cherish the moments.

Not sure why you want to go away from your 150 grain load if it has "worked great for years." Perhaps just a difference in where you zero will get you what you are looking for. I have used various 140 grain bullets for years using max or near max loads of H4831. Lots of dead deer, both...

I am very happy you had a great trip! Thanks for letting us know and post a story or two when you get a chance! Randy

I hunted with LJ Safaris for three days in May of 2017. This is a young outfit and just getting started. Lauren wishes to start offering/specializing in hunts designed for women hunters. Regardless if you are man or woman, this outfit is worthy of consideration. A link to a write up I just...

We often dream of the biggest and baddest bucks and bulls around. This was my third trip to Africa and likely one of my favorite trips. This trip was centered around a "cull package" and was designed for removing old or otherwise undesirable breeders. The hunt also allowed for adding on...

I saw that zebra while I was there. It is certainly cool! Glad I could help a little bit. One last note. If you hunt the Eastern Cape and fly into Port Elizabeth, ask your meet and greet person to take you to his shop to have a look at the stuff yourself. You will have to send an email...

I picked up his current price sheet. I'm just going to take a few select critters to give you an idea of what he charges. All prices are US dollars Kudu Flat Skin Tanning: 265 Kudu Shoulder Mount: 800 Springbok flat Skin tanning: 100 springbok shoulder mount: 445 zebra flat skin tanning...

I just walked in a few hours ago from South Africa. The last thing I did was visit two taxidermists. I picked up two skins that we shot last year and am very pleased; in fact both are within a few feet of me as I type. I used Paul Smith from Relive Taxidermy (Port Elizabeth). Paul does ship...

yes. K-Falls

I flew out of Sac the first trip, Portland the second trip, and will fly out from Reno in May. For me the trip to any of the above locations is about the same drive from where I live. Flying from SFO had some very good fares and is worth looking at. Good Luck.

Other than the Johannesburg airport, I have no experience there and cannot comment on any activities around there. I have been to SA twice and am perfectly happy to sit in the passenger seat and leave the driving to the locals. They drive on the "wrong" side of the road and I constantly feel...

Should be a good time!

Back to Africa... helluva deal on buffalo in Zim advertised this morning. Argh. I need to ban myself from these different sites and just save $ for a few years. Locally, it looks like my mule deer and black-tail deer might be struggling a bit with the snow. I think the black-tail are in...

If it was a perfect world, I'd like to hunt roe in Germany or Austria. I have a friend who went to Romania and raves about the outfit he used. It would be fun to take the wife, hunt 2 roe, and then do a little tour of the castles and such. there was a hunt for Namibia offered not too long...

I'm aware of the difference.... just both on the bucket list. Before either hunt, I want to hunt Europe for Roe. Just a simple little hunt. I am hoping to do that one next year.

Nice on the airfare. I believe my next Africa trip will either be in Namibia or Tanzania. It will take a little more saving for the latter but I think it will be closer to the "Africa" experience that I ultimately want. After posting my last, I went on AH and there are plenty of good deals to...

I'm headed to the East Cape in May to hunt with Rhinoster Hoek on a cull hunt. Eight cull critters, including 1 kudu bull and 2 cows, for under 3000. Trophies can be added in at 10% discount to boot! He has a fair number of kudu but at the moment I am leaning towards a black wildebeest...

RE: need help finding a outfit Never hunted with them but seem to see them on TV alot. Tell us what you want to do and accomplish and that is a good place to start. Just you or wife or friends? If you are taking a wife, you might want a place that can pamper her. If you just have buddies...

Sneed? Game Warden?

It all depends on what you want and what are your expectations. A good place to look is Africa hunting forum. Look in the deals section and you can also look up hunt reports for outfitters. If you cant find a hunt report for an outfitter you are considering, ask questions or move on to...
