Too soon to pack but....

Pheroze · Feb 20, 2015

Marius of KMG Hunting Safaris made the trip to the Toronto Sportsman Show in February. I enjoyed meeting the team and getting to know Marius and adgunner better. They are probably regretting their efforts now because they will be stuck with a whole bunch of my clan in June 2016! I am going for eland, my two boys for some mix of impala, warthog, blesbok and springbok. My father is going to probably get some wing shooting in. My mother, wife and daughter are coming to experience all that a trip like this can bring! We are all very excited and looking forward to the trip!!! Now the training begins as there are only 487 days to go, but who is counting?

Sounds like a great family affair to me! Good luck to all during the hunt!

Congrats! Sounds like one heck of a great trip you have planned!

It was a pleasure meeting you Pheroze, i am sure you guys will have a great trip. Not so sure about the countdown timer ... maybe make it in hours or minutes so it looks like it is moving faster

Pheroze · Feb 20, 2015

Thanks guys. We are really stoked.

Wonder if this qualifies as an AH Group Hunt.

My Courtney boots arrived and my wife says she is taking away my credit cards

Hey Brickburn, can we get a countdown timer?

adgunner · Feb 20, 2015

Pheroze, I have been staring at the Courteney site for quite some time, which ones did you order? How were they were for size compared to NA sizes. I would really like to replace my beat up army issue boots soon!

gizmo · Feb 20, 2015

Congrats, I hope you have a wonderful trip! I'm down to 127 days or 3048 hours but I'm not really counting either

This message may post twice as something strange happened and I lost my reply. Anyway, I really like them so far. The length is perfect at 10.5. The fit around the toe is generous as it is over the instep too. The leather is well made and stiff. Definitely break them in. I did not have an uninsulated pair of boots so I was looking anyways. I went with the Selous as I like the over the ankle cover and the snazzy bag. Lol. I had a pair of leather hiking boots years ago that lasted ages. I would say these are as well made but a lot lighter. I can't imagine you will be disappointed. And, I think the leather will last a lot longer than the modern fabric type walking boots. So, they are expensive up front but not outrageously so.

Had I known I would have driven down from Ottawa.

adgunner · Feb 21, 2015

ICQ, would have been good to see you at the show, I am actually just south of Ottawa in Alfred ... perhaps next year?

I'm west in Perth. I go to Higginsons a couple of times a year to stock up and drive through Alfred

adgunner · Feb 21, 2015

ICQ, next time you are heading through, let me know, I do my powder shopping for ML and shotshell their as well, but lately not a lot of stock on hand! Be great to swap stories.

You bought them? I thought I told you not until I had mine

Do they fit?

That's a real shame. Would have been great to meet up. Anyways 2016 is just around the corner. Some have countdown timers already.

OR
We could have met in Alfred for some Poutine and a few Creemore.

ICQ, thanks! And as you can see by the above, Marius managed to indulge in a little of our local culture when he was here!
