    SOUTH AFRICA: Bos En Dal My First Safari & A Great PH Outfitter Experience

    Growing up in the Midwest, I've been White-Tail and Pheasant hunting plenty of times. But as a kid I had always loved reading the adventures of the true African Gents- Capstick, Hemingway, Roosevelt, the list goes on. However, I always realized these guys were pros (and wealthy) and real...

    Self-Importing Trophies to USA from RSA

    Gents, first trip to RSA coming up this year! Plan on bringing back some nice rugs and plaque-style Tusk mounts- so nothing exotic or large either (Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Impala rugs, maybe a Wildebeest rifle case, and a tusk-only warthog mount) I live close enough to JFK Airport and the...

    First Plains Safari: Solo travel? And Quagga?

    Gents, New here and a great forum. Two quick questions: How is it going solo on a safari? My wife has no interest and none of my friends are hunters. Does it become a "3rd wheel" situation at night in camp? I don't mind being tossed in with others for a meal and such, and get along...
