Foxhole Decision Time President Obama signed the bill that allows gays to serve openly in the Military. No more don't ask don't tell. But what he has really done is cause confusion in the ranks that could easily cost Marine lives. This is what can now happen...

I'd love to find the old ones, but they are too faded to read the name /manufacturer...

I hope someone can help... Years ago, I purchased several shirts for a trip - they were extremely lightweght with tabs for the sleeves when rolled, and cartridge loops. I cannot find anything similar. All are too heavy, or the wrong material for sweat to dissipate. Can anyone help? A source...

I've pretty much figured spot and stalk is my best bet for both. I've heard that the upper cape is a great stalking place due to terrain, etc. Either way, I want both, even if I have to rifle them (gag). Hey, it's probably my last trip and I've got a wall to fill at the new house.

Good to hear... I've never brought any trophies back, and think it would be very nice to bring home this time a sort of mini spiral slam of Kudu, Nyala, and Bushbuck. Look good in the new house.

Good luck to you, make sure you post after. Part of the reason I asked is that I understand Bushbuck are a tough go with a rifle too. As this willl very likely be my last trip due to health concers, I need to make the most of it. I really want one, and I really do not want to rifle one if I...

I've heard / read somewhere that Bushbuck are frequently hunted from portables along trails. I'm a fairly good crawler, it's how I prefer whitetail hunting -but these two are new to me. BTW, it'll be on the eastern cape.

Are either Nyala or Bushbuck hunted from blinds / hides, or are they strictly spot and stalk?

I gotta go with "DON'T MOVE! I grew up hunting deer where blaze orange was mandatory... Don't look them in the eye (stare) and don't move, and you can have them come close enough to pet.

just once God, I don't care if it kills me...

You know fellas, we're all over the map here... I suppose the only thing I will rely on in this trip is to "Go with my gut" Last trip over I had a very bad experience - staff and trackers were given a good tip, PH got zip. It was all he deserved for what he did.(didn't) do. Everyone else gave...

While Im at it, Someone please tell me how one "drives" a herd of Kudu to a waterhole?

Oh, PLEASE guys.... Here's the deal. Last time I was in RSA, as Bob said, I was left in a hide. The PH was within shouting distance. If I shot, he was there in minutes. I resent strongly the implication that any "drives" were in place. MY hunts are strictly fair chase, I wouldn't be there...

Need help folks, My ladyfriend is a teacher, and is doing a thing about cultural diversity for her kids. Somehow I neglected to take any photos of the school kids, schools, people in traditional dress, etc. on my last trip. If anyone has such photos they are willing to share, please PM me and...

I know you can't hunt alone in Namibia. It was mentioned somewhere along the way it's RSA I'm referring to.It's a simple questiion folks... ,
