Got a nice and long awaited surprise right before Christmas. Had some spare time today to share a few pictures. The work was done by Highveld in South Africa. Outstanding!!!!!! Now I can see them anytime I watch the boob tube. Took me the better part of a day to reverse engineer that crate, but...

I was not sure which heading to file this report under, but I thought I would share some info and pictures for those of you that would like to set up a side trip to see Victoria Falls. After spending so much on airfare to get to South Africa we thought we would like to see more than just the...

Day One: Morning Arrived in camp after 10:00 PM the night before. I met my PH, Werner and another named Francois. The next morning I woke up about 6:00 AM and went outside to watch the sun come up and see what I could hear, see, and smell. It was in the low 50's and bluebird clear which...

Just got home from my SA Safari. 7 animals in 10 days. I have 1200 pictures to sort through, but I kept a log on the daily stuff so I will file a report as soon as I get settled in. What a blast! Kirk

Hi everyone, Well my wife and I hit the road tomorrow to connect with my Dad in Kentucky and then its off to Atlanta for the long flight across the big pond. I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone for all the information and support you have provided. This whole process of...

Well, 6 weeks to go. I spent 3 hours at the range yesterday tenderizing/pulverizing my shoulder. 70 rounds and the rifle is set to go. Got it dialed in for everything from 50 yards out to 300. I must admit I am very disappointed with my performance shooting off a set of bipod sticks though. I...

I have a fanny pack I "ALWAYS" carry out with me when I hunt. It has a few basic survival items in it on the outside chance I end up needing to spend the night out in the sticks. I won't bore you with the list because most of you can figure out what is in it. I am not accustomed to hunting with...

So I am bored and trying to come up with a good question to ask. This may be a lame question but it is something I have always liked to look at. I have always wanted to have some items like hand made bows, arrows, knives, spears and such to hang in my man cave. Are items like these available for...

My wife has expressed the desire to come out hunting with me a few times as an observer on my upcoming hunt for plains game animals in South Africa. I don't have a problem with this and figure the risk of her getting hurt is minimal since this is not a dangerous game hunt. I am wondering if...

The price list of the hunt I am going on has several different price classes for Kudu depending on what length the horns are. Suppose you are out in the field and your PH knows you are looking for a certain size class of an animal, say a Kudu in the 51 to 55 inch class, and his estimate on the...

9 months and counting for my first SA safari. I am trying to decide which type of Wildebeest to hunt. For some reason, one which I have not figured out why, I think the black wildebeest is what I will go with. It is just one homely sad looking critter with a face only a mother could love. I...

I was looking at the paper work for Warthog Safaris in the Limpopo province and it stated their camp is in a Malaria free zone. Just how malaria free is a malaria free zone and is there a way to take precautions against getting it. Vaccines, meds, something of that sort. Is it worth worrying...

I am very close to booking my first safari in the Limpopo area of South Africa. I have been doing a bit of research and am leaning towards booking for the last week of August. I picked this date for the low rainfall amounts and the no moon phase. Temperature is not a big concern with me as I am...

Lightning has struck... I won this safari at a Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation fund raiser. It is a 7 day hunt in 2014 for me and a non-hunter(my wife) that includes everything from Johanusburg Airport out and back. It includes all licenses and fees for an Impala and a Wildebeast, all food...
