    Muflon & Deer Hunting

    They are great trophies. I would have guessed 3000euro for a gold ram. He will look great hanging on your wall providing years of memories. Can you PM me the outfitters website or other information? Thanks,

    Howa rifles

    I have used one once and that was on my plains game hunt in the Eastern Cape. I hired it from my PH. It was chambered in 300WinMag and was a tack driver. For the price of them I don't think you can go wrong.

    Christmas gift for the wife...make africa easier?!?!?

    Hope it works for you Tom. When my wife and I returned from my first safari she said she had no desire to go back, and when I go again I better save enough money for her to go to Las Vegas while I hunt. My next trip is going to really cost me (lol)

    Safari Photos Elephants Opinions

    Overall I believe it is disrespectful. I am surprised that someone that provides the Letzter Bissen sits on the animal. At some point they were taught to respect their prey. After attending a German hunting course it provided me a new insight to hunting and conservation.

    Prices on your website

    When I was searching for my plain games hunt this past year and when I ran across outfitter sites that requested contact for pricing I passed up immediately. I go on the theory if I have to ask then more than likely I can't afford it anyway. - Steve

    Taxidermy Pricing

    You know Dinsdale you bring up a good point I had not considered. I don't have to have all my mounts done immediately if I use my local German taxidermist. If I have the trophies mounted in the Eastern Cape then that is a different story. I returned last month from my plains game hunt in...

    7 Days and a Wake Up

    Thanks browningbbr and Monish, From your suggestions I think I am covered then. I was given a package of insect repellent used by the Army to wash my clothes in to keep the little critters off me. This will be my first time using it, but I figure it should work pretty good if the Army uses...

    7 Days and a Wake Up

    Well guys and gals, a week from tomorrow my wife and I will be heading on our first safari to the Eastern Cape. :) I booked our couples package what seems like an eternity ago with EAI Outdoors. Since my wife does not hunt I guess I'll do my best to get the six animals on my list on my own! My...

    Taxidermy work and alternatives

    I understand what you guys are saying and agree about not mounting everything. I am about to do my first African hunt this October. I bought a package and to be honest I don't care to have every animal shoulder mounted. I may do some in the European mounts to go along with the European...

    Opinions between Eastern Cape and Namibia plains game hunt

    I agree there will be more options for my wife in case she gets bored riding along and laying by the pool. Kudu is number one on my list. I prefer to take extra time hunting a good kudu trophy than some of the lower priority animals on my list. Only 79 days and counting!

    Opinions between Eastern Cape and Namibia plains game hunt

    I got time off work unexpectantly in October and decided to go on the Eastern Cape hunt. The next 82 days won't go by fast enough. I have kudu, impala, blesbuck, springbuck, zebra and a warthog on my list.

    Opinions between Eastern Cape and Namibia plains game hunt

    Good questions Thunder Head, I should have put at in as well. The Eastern Cape outfitter farm is located on 5000 acres and in addition they exclusively lease over 250,000 acres from multiple farmers which they say is mostly open with some standard cattle fencing. To be honest I don't know the...

    Opinions between Eastern Cape and Namibia plains game hunt

    Hello from Sunny Florida

    We have about the same wish list. I have been on this site for the past six months or so and can not wait until my first African hunt. I hope I can talk my wife into going as well since this is a large investment. If I can get my Chief CFO (lol) onboard then I am more likely to get a second...

    binoculars with rangefinder

    Nico, I have been using the Bushnell 1200 ARC rangefinder this past year and I have not had any issue with it. The optics is clear and I find it accurate. I have not missed a single animal since using it. I am firm believer in you get what you pay for especially dealing with electronics...

    Thanks Monish, I think my pride was hurt more than my forehead. I have to admit the rifle my friend let me use was over kill for the hunt, but it was the only one he had available. I can't own a rifle in Germany until I pass their hunting course later this year. This is by far the best...
