    Who prioritize fitness for your upcoming and future safaris?

    I try and get into the gym by 0615 everyday. I found I don’t generally get work calls that early. Plus, I enjoy having my day started with the hardest thing (physically) I’ll most likely do. I have noticed that my shooting has improved greatly with the cardio and weight training. Holding A...

    The Adventure Begins!!!!

    KanatI Taxidermy in PA is doing just the two horns for me on a pedestal that will sit at the end of my bar. $600 compared to 3K plush for a shoulder replica. Just a thought. The great thing is if you have the measurements and pics you can do have something done at anytime. Also, I did not...

    Age of first African hunting trip

    My first trip was in 2003 and I was 35. At that time thought I’d be paying for that trip for the rest of my life. Headed to Zim in July to hopefully get my elephant and complete my Big 5. You can never go just once. Enjoy your Safari.

    Sable Hunting Safari With BAYLY SIPPEL SAFARIS 2024

    I will second what @Fatback had to say. I hunted with Dempsey Bayly (Bayly and Sippel) and had awesome hunt. I was able to dart my rhino and complete the tiny ten (Sharpies Grysbok). Demps went above and beyond to get me an opportunity at these two primary animals. Can’t wait to go back.

    Is retiring to Africa a wise decision?

    I’m currently eligible to retire and would love to spend part of the year in Southern Africa. I thought about building a chalet to keep my trophies (save on getting them sent to the US and a place to put the ones that can’t be imported to the US). I have talked with some outfitters about...

    Researching leopard hunts...

    I did the process on line after I returned and was successful. It took about 22 days and I received an email saying my permit had been approved and 28 days to have the permit in my hand. I think it’s easier to do it after because they USFW want info about the cat and where it was harvested...

    Leather work advice need - Elastic cartridge holders

    I currently have one that holds 5 rounds and I my thought was to get a second slide so that I can carry softs in one and solids in the other. I’m going on an elephant hunt in 2024 and thought it would come in handy to have both with me just in case I needed to switch ammo quickly.

    Caracal & Blue Duiker - Together or separate mounts?

    I chose to have mine mounted together. I shot them both on the same day in the Eastern Cape. When they gutted the caracal it had a very nice male blue duiker inside of him. That is the other reason I decided to have them mounted together. However, they are great animals and would look...
