Come and see us at the DSC Booth #3112-13! Look how excited Jan and Hannes are to be here! LOL....!

Unfortunately, there will be times at the shows when outfitters are swamped with guests at their booths. Different shows tend to have different peak times and the last day(s) of the show can be especially busy. It can be challenging when you have a have a combination of past clients, and friends...

@randallhebert Incredible Safari! Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences and photos with the AH.com community!

Hello @SLR, As a life-long dedicated bowhunter, hunting a big mature nyala with a bow spot & stalk has been one of my dream hunts as well! I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to take a really good one on my last safari with Limcroma Safaris. Limcroma specializes in accommodating...

I'm not really sure what you mean here by what was true "back in the day"...? Are you referring to the use of a travel agent? Travel agents offer a variety of services including the ability to shop for airfares, plan itineraries, re-book cancelled flights, along with providing a host of other...

Booking with a reputable travel agency is never a bad idea. They can offer you services that you would not get booking on your own. For the nominal fee they charge it is often worth the peace of mind for most folks. That being said, it's been my experience that booking as far in advance as...

Your problem is not going to be getting the skull out of Africa. It's very unlikely that South African Customs will check your bags leaving the county. Your only issue will be with getting it into your home country. If you are certain that a boiled skull attached to some wood will fly with...

For airline travel, your 2 best options for a heavy-duty bow case are the SKB and a Pelican case. However, as Stubbleduck correctly mentioned, there are some inherent issues flying with bow cases internationally and especially into South Africa where there is a good chance your bow case will be...

The law states that an international non-resident hunter must be accompanied by a licensed PH, and hunting with a registered outfitter. That being said, the interpretation of what "accompanied" means can be pretty loose with some outfitters an PHs. I am aware of many instances where the hunter...

I now see that you already explained the US Customs return process in your first post. I apologize for making you repeat yourself. I mistakenly thought that you were conveying your experience in DFW going to Africa. Great information! (y)

Airline ticket agents not knowing their own rules is pretty common. If I haven't already said it, it's always a good idea to print or screenshot your airline's rules pertaining to traveling with archery equipment and have it ready to show to them upon check-in. What was your experience with...

Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread with updates on their experiences. I think all who have replied here have returned via Atlanta. I would like to hear from anyone flying with archery equipment who has flown United returning to Newark or Qatar returning to Dallas?

The differences in the appearance of the cases are not that obvious especially to non-hunters. From my experiences, they apparently can and do read because I have not had my bow case get mistakenly sent to SAPS since I started labeling it as "bow & arrow... not a gun"...

I recall a Covid-related thread that was ongoing here for quite a while where I suggested the exact same thing based on my personal work experience with my own County's EMS system, and how they were being directed by the CDC to intentionally miscount Covid deaths. I was challenged pretty...
