Very well said. All the best to both parties involved.

Just before I left Maun, there was no trace of anything even related to hunting left. All associated businesses had packed up, which means to try an lure them back would be very difficult and costly. Also there is numerous tenders on going for previous hunting concessions, any that don't get...

My wife will be doing her PH course early next year, her knowledge on the African bush is incredible, she has tracked along side some of Botswana's finest guides and her shooting skills are some of the best I know....hell she could circumcise a Springhare from 100 yards away!;) I know a few...

Welcome to AH

Hi @comcam77 Welcome to AH, theres plenty of cool threads on bowhunting or you could start your own thread and ask a few questions. Lots of knowledge on here!:A Quotes:

Good luck Debbie, wish you all the very best and lots of successful hunting days ahead!(y)

@elkjoe Welcome! Good luck planning your first Africa trip. Cheers Jono

:A No Evil:

That was on the Chobe River in Botswana. I know that particular guide quite well, he works for our "sister"safari company. He told me that boat has a 80HP Yamaha engine on and he was going full throttle! :E Horrified:

@gizmo I noticed some cattle in the background of the photo there. What cattle do you have? breed? Sorry a bit off topic so i'll bring it back....I would say a dart board. Also Pinterest is a great source for inspiration. All the best Jono

Wishing him all the best and speedy recovery.

Now this is clever marketing!!:ROFLMAO:

The wildlife in that country will be butchered within 5 years.

That's a good deal! (y)

And it begins...... http://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/Mugabe-is-my-hero-says-man-donating-2-jumbos-20150224 If anyone knows what concession or where this farm is where this guy conducts his "hunting operation"should inform those planning on going on a hunt in Zimbabwe!

First guests arrive next week and this big fella is not helping. Plus we have a Black Mamba at room 1 and the Lions killed a Wildebeest last night next to the swimming pool!! :E Crazy:

Welcome to the forum @keeganrudman always nice to have another East Caper in the mix. Any relation to Arthur?

Revival! This thread peaked my interest mainly because its very relevant to me at this time, especially with starting an Outfitters. So I have a question for the hunter and one for the Outfitters. To the hunter: Have you ever not hunted with an Outfitter (please no need to mention names)...

If it ends up being in SA, I would love to tag along and help out where I can!(y)

Met Eish ja!! Good luck over there and hope all works out.

Well said, thanks @Wheels (y) I am a young PH that has had very little opportunity, granted I am based in Botswana and registered in the EC (Thankfully that will change this year) but I know where I stand and that is at the bottom of the pecking order. Sure I would love to hunt +200 days a...

Settle down gentlemen, its on my arm!!o_O But for the sake of not exposing any skin, I have attached a picture of it on paper. I designed it myself and originally wanted it as the logo to my Outfitters business one day, but seeing as I don't have Buffalo or Sable, i thought it may be a bit...

Kudu - Intelligence, Sable - Elegance Buffalo - Attitude I even got a tattoo done of them. Have only ever shot a kudu, saving up for Buffalo and I have a dog named Sable:LOL:

This scenario is nothing new in Botswana. A lot, in fact all of my staff have this problem out on their Cattle Posts (Farms) but to put the shoe on the other foot. Some, not all, farmers are to blame for human/wildlife conflict. During times of drought they will cut the fences into the reserves...

Thank you all for the hard work behind the scenes and here's to a good 2015! Also big thanks and show of appreciation to those members that have offered me advice, were kind enough to answer my many questions and guided me in the right direction towards achieving my dream. You know who you...

Standard company issue I am afraid! :(

My wife and I went for a Sunday drive and bumped into a pack of 30 Wild Dogs (As one does on a sunday afternoon drive). The mercury was touching 38'C in the Delta and all the dogs were resting beneath the shade of Mopane and Knobthorn trees, pups on one side all the adults on the other. The...

You sure its the same Dereck Joubert? I find it hard to believe.

Merry Christmas Marius, have a lekker one! You heading down to the beach at all?

Name and shame! This guys details need to be plastered across the national media. So that way if the case does not stick, the general public will atleast know who is and what he has gotten up to. Well done to all those involved, keep it up!

This is the problem Botswana now faces since banning hunting. The hunting outfitters had their own anti-poaching units and would do daily patrols. But when the antis and the government banned hunting effectively chasing the hunting outfitters out the country they never guessed that the...

Eastern Cape people are SO friendly we even thank the ATM when it gives us money!

@Arc Africa Hunting Safaris thanks Justin I have sent you a PM(y) @Wheels Thanks very much, it is a stunning property and I hope to one day share it with like minded hunters. I am lucky to call it home. @CAustin Thank you Sir! I still believe a man's word is his bond, if I did anything...

Sorry to hear about that. I would personally track him down and look him in the eye! You can tell a lot by man when you are face to face and he has no phone or email to hide behind. Would it no be possible to have an official SCI representative be a member of this forum and reply to threads...

Senseless and unnecessary!

Welcome and Enjoy

Great stuff all round. Thanks for posting

To Born Free Foundation....enjoy your relationship with your new partner!! Seems like you really thought it through:S Oops:

Here is a bit of fun: :A Yell: Lets say you did buy a farm in SA....money aside! 1. What would be the first 5 game species you would stock on the farm? 2. Purely rifle, bow only or both? Photographic? 3. nice big fancy lodge or rustic safari style tents? 4. Steep mountains and deep valleys...

$3,000 a cubic metre?? Hell, I might just sell the wood instead!:sneaky:

Fantastic advice, thanks Scott. Much appreciated. The bar will be based indoors and even then will not be effected by any direct sunlight, winds etc... That was one of my concerns was the drying period so thanks for the advice and i'll definately get a look in at the website. We have plenty of...

Feel like an unfaithful person here but....I joined another forum!:S Sorry: . Also created a blog to track my progress of how this "little " project goes! Here is the link: http://lumberjocks.com/JonoMcHugh/blog Cheers Jono

At 660kg/m3 thats pretty dense wood, which means it should be good to work with and cut. We have some on our farm that my pops-in law says fell 20 years ago and they solid as anything with minimal insect damage. While doing research I found alot of tables, chairs etc...for sale made from...

Hello All, In January I will be heading back home to do a number of things. 1st have a late christmas with family, 2nd get that bushpig that eluded me in September and 3rd get started on my man cave! We have a nice large back room with fire place and our trophies mounted neatly on the wall...

Morning @tigris115 , I posted that info. And unfortunately that's about as much info that's available. The decision to ban hunting will come up for review in March 2015. Here in Bots alot of the Outfitters have all packed up and shipped out. The minister that lead the charge for the ban is now...

Hell, that made me laugh alot!:D Problem is you cant beat @lbgsafaris with his many smileys! They all brilliant. p.s. East Cape rules!

Good point! And well said.(y) All the best Jono

I agree with you chaps, but now all of a sudden Land Rover is anti-hunting and I own a Landie doesn't mean that I support them, and that is what I meant by my post. Look, I am sure there is plenty of people that inadvertantly support not only antis but other issues they are against just what...

My Outfitters license to be approved so I can start my own Safari business!:Snaphappy:

Must say there are a few that I am a bit unsure about? What the....?---->:Asshat:
