I'm back from the free nyalla (& two more animals) hunt with Leeukop Safaris! I'll put up a more detailed report after I overcome the flu I caught as soon as I returned home. YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS REPORT!

After being selected as the runner-up in Leeukop Safari's "Best Gift of All" contest for a free hunt here on AH in the heart of Zululand for a nyala & two more aminals I broke, (spiral break of the fib & tib) bones my left leg two weeks before I was supposed to leave in a nasty riding lawn-mower...

Last time I went to Africa I carried a .416 Rigby topped with a 1X6 Leupold, loaded with 400 gr rhino bullets & my trusty .338 WM loaded with 250 Nosler particians & topped with a 3X9 Burris. This time my wife will be hunting and her Winchester Model 70 in .270 will be going so I will...

My name is Bill & I've been an addict for Africa my whole life it seems. But since I finally got to go to see Lady Africa, well words can't seem to express. I posted on here that Africa is a drug once. :o Last night I purchased my 3rd trip in three years. I know I have a problem, but if...

I read somewhere that there may be restrictions on the black gnu. I can't find it now & wanted one when I go back to RSA in August.

We are going to RSA in the last two weeks of August. My oldest son, (24yrs old) is taking his girlfriend and she wants to spend a bit more time after the hunt so they are coming back 3 days behind us. Here's the rub. She fancies herself a "world traveler" and wants to stay in a youth hostel...

Quite awhile back I asked for input on animals for my second safari. That was before I'd gone on my first safari for blesbok, gemsbok, impala, and lioness, (baboon & jackal that we ended up never trying for). I'd said that my wife had not wanted me to shoot a zebra because they looked...

I shot a white rhino with a slingshot!;) Did i mention that it was already dead:p

I went to SCS in South Africa. My plan was to hunt blesbok, gemsbok, impala, lioness,baboon, & jackal. I HAD THE BEST TEN DAYS OF MY LIFE. I was crying the last day because I had to leave the best friends I have ever made. I shot an impala on the first day after sighting in my .338 WM &...

I leave for RSA in 11 days:thumb:. I wanted to use a meet & greet for getting my rifles through customs in J'burg. Can it it still be done? Any reccomendations on companies? Much Thanks,

Is it too early to pack???!?!?! I fly out of Portland, OR for J-Burg in 49 days:biggrin2:

A friend just loaned me his copy of Death by Double. GREAT DVD!!!! I really liked this one a LOT! There were two charges that would have been enough but the rest of the video was SO cool!

I watched my new DVD "Bolted to Death" with my son on my birthday yesterday. I REALLY enjoyed it!:wub: So much so, we watched it two times in a row! I never do that because I feel life is too short and there is too many movies out there to watch one more than once in a blue moon. Since my...

I just heard yesterday that the PH I was going to use had the HUGE misfortune of being gored by a cape buffalo! The story I HEARD is a client had made a poor shot on a cape. They were following it up in thick brush and it had circled back and caught him from behind. He had the skin on his...

Let's dream AH friends....If you WERE to purchase a new gun :huntingrifle::gunshooting::shootingrevolver: what would it be??? I guess I'd like a custom double in .505 Gibbs with beautifully engraved scene of a lion taking down a cape buff. Of course it would have fancy checkering on a...

Well friends, I leave for safari #1 in 104 days :daydreaming:. Bag is for this trip from little to big is: jackal, baboon, impala, blesbok, oryx & lion. If a 60" kudu steps out he's had it too :huntingrifle: I'm going to RSA in 2010 with my 2 adult sons & wife for 10 days. What should be...

My safari is in less than 110 days:D. I have lioness, oryx, impala, & blesbok on my permit. I have obtained 2 boxes of Norma A-frame and 2 boxes of Hornady DGX. I need to blast some for sight-in & practice w/ my .416 Rigby. If it were you, (experience preferred), which ammo would you shoot up?

I'm told here & on other forums that Africa is a drug. That I'll be planning my next trip before I get on the plane to come home. etc. etc. Ok so what is it when you plan your next trip BEFORE you make the first??? I bought a 10 day 4 hunter auction at the local SCI banquet on Saturday...

Reading the post on the buffs was great. They are not on my bag (this time), so I thought I'd ask about gemsbok/oryx. I hear that the females sometimes have longer horns than the males. What makes a good trophy and what makes an exceptional trophy?:confused: I'm really enjoying this site...

The wife and I are going to RSA in 170 days:D. We are working out daily. have out meds in order, becoming familar w/ the camera. I shoot a LOT & not off a bench (though I have not used shooting sticks much). Guns going are CZ .416 Rigby topped with Leupold 1.5X6 w/ 400 gr softs...

Hello All, I'm a new member that somehow stumbled on to the sight. I'm a 51 year old history teacher in the Oregon public schools. I was bitten my the hunting bug so far back I can't remember. I've taken quite a few roosevelt elk & blacktail deer in my hunting career. I fell in love with...
