Howdy from TN as well! My wife and I our hunters in the Middle TN area. This site is a great place to turn those dreams into a reality. What part of the volunteer state are you located it?
As always I’m glad to have pointed my dad towards some of the finer vices in life: good cigars, smooth whiskeys, and fine French rifles. Only the best for an adventure dad!
What an exciting class! Question: In the first elephant course video, it looks like the shooter does not close the bolt back up before running to the next position. Was this a technique taught for some sort of safety reason, or did the shooter just get excited like I'm sure most of us would?
Hunt Day Three
The night before, over many sun-downers and excellent braai, a challenge had been set by Peter Thormahlen. According to him, it would be impossible to take a red hartebeest and black wildebeest before lunch. Well versed in the miracle-creating business as all good Texans are, we...
The cold wind of determination…the frigid grip of focus…there is no elegant turn of phrase other than it was cold the next morning! But a little weather never stopped a hunter, especially one who “didn’t come for easy.” We returned to patrolling the base of the hills, eyes slightly watering from...
The Great Zebra Odyssey began as many epics do: seeing the prize, only for it to run over the hill, repeat ad nauseam. Slowly creeping up the trail to crest the current ridge, we spotted a small herd grazing up the slope of the bowl of the adjacent hill. Only two things stood between Katelyn and...
Hunting Day 1
The sun, unoriginal in its Disney-esqe entrance, burst across the horizon, greeting us at the breakfast table with warm rays. The agenda for the morning would be to visit the Concession office to register our tags, sight rifles in, and then proceed into the veldt. We began travel...
Bags packed, rifles checked, and ammunition counted. Wife’s repacking clothes, changing their minds, learning dead languages, and other last minute things. It must be time to go on another adventure! Fetner Safari 2018 has the green light for go!
Converging on Dallas from Nashville, TN and...
Team Fet has made it back home after a great time in South Africa. Report and pics to come as soon as the basset hound lets me have 2 mins to work on it. Some one felt abandoned for two weeks...
@Kowas Hunting Safaris
Jacques, I am spending my last day in office furiously looking up ways to make Saturday come faster so we can get on the plane! Know anyone who has a slightly used time machine?
T-2 weeks and counting! We have received trophy tags from Safari Specialty Importers so we can bring back part of the special memories we plan on making. Many thanks to Robert and Rosella!
The story of the opening scene is covered in White Hunter by Brian Herne. If memory serves be correctly, the charging elephant actually did charge the camera, and was brought down by Peter Selby (will have to check that again). The interesting part is that after the shot, the cast took pictures...
