Great, thank you!

You mention that the hunt will take place near Steenbokpan, but your website shows that you are nowhere near there. So, this hunt will take place on another property?

Since I'm a bowhunter only, I've not had to worry about any of this on my 7 trips to Africa. However, I do own (as do some of my friends) firearms that are wildcat rounds and have no factory ammunition available. So, if we were to consider taking a firearm such as a 7mm TCU, that is a...

Mike B., I agree I also used to also like the Sapphire Reserve card, but I just couldn't justify the ridiculously high annual fee, anymore, after that last fee increase. And for those that are wanting to get into the points game for the first time, the Sapphire cards are paying near all-time...

buckwild, you're certainly entitled to your opinion. I've been a member of this site for 14 years, and I have hunted with sponsors of the site. I'm not a person that just signed up for AH and then posted this. I'm an official measurer for both P&Y and B&C, I've been inducted into the...

375 Ruger Fan, I have no relationship with Delta or AMEX, other than I am obviously a customer of both. As I disclosed in the first post, I would get a small number of points if someone used my referral link,

The fact that you are even asking this question tells me that you want to get the most out of the experience. Since it’s legal across most or all of South Africa and likely other places, you can certainly do what feels right to you. It is NOT legal in most of America, so that should give you...

Your assumption is that the only people that want free flights is because they're poor. I can easily afford the flights, but why should I pay for a flight I can get relatively free? Don't most people love getting a great deal or something for free? Then they could spend the $2,000+ that they...

However, if you are determined that you need to earn more than 1X point per mile day in and day out, this Capital One Visa card is hard to beat. It earns 79,000 points (75,000+4,000) after you spend $4,000 on the card in 3 months, then you would continue to earn 2X on everything with no worries...

As a few have said above, the signup bonuses are what get you a fantastic deal on a flight with very little purchasing on the card involved, in this case spending $4,000 miles in 6 months earns 94,000 miles! That's the vast majority of points needed for a flight. Staying with the same card for...

At any given time there seem to be a lot of AfricaHunting.com members that are dreaming of or planning a trip to Africa. For those planning to go, or that go regularly, why don’t more people easily earn the frequent flyer miles needed through credit card spend programs and just fly for free...

I have experienced the boot spraying in Atlanta each of the seven times I have returned from Africa, beginning in 2008 and every trip since. My friend that was with me in 2008 seemed shocked by this at the time, and he had been to South Africa countless times, and I believe normally returned...

As others have said, if there are not prices, I move on to another company. Don't make us request pricing! Pricing is the number one most important thing I look for before going any further in my research. I too like the link to maps showing the location of the lodge. Size of the properties...

For a 10-day hunt, I usually take 15-18, although I've never come close to using them all. Incidental animals & birds, follow-up shots on wounded animals, etc. can all take more arrows than expected. Although, the number of broadheads is probably more crucial than arrows since you can often...

Mikecatt13, you mentioned that your trophy importer had their own storage facility to avoid airport storage charges if there was a delay. Who do you use, and what port of entry do you have them come into?

375er, That's one of the things that was very discouraging. Some people had no problem voting, but MANY spent huge amounts of time in what seemed like an endless registration loop that never resulted in an actual vote. I do appreciate your trying (or maybe succeeding?) to vote for me...

buck, I wasn't aware that you could do that with a YT channel. I host all of my videos on Vimeo, and likewise, only have the set so that I can share links/passwords with friends but never make them public. This was the first time that I ever made one of my videos public, as an embedded link on...

I needed to finish in the Top 5 to move on to the judged round, and I thought I had that locked up. I posted it on this site hoping to get some extra votes to make sure I had enough for any last minute vote surges by the other people behind me. However, I was disappointed that it didn't appear...

This contest has ended and the link to the video mentioned has been disabled. I would edit or delete the thread, but I don't see that there is a way to do this. Thank you.

Guys, I submitted a bowhunting video to my first-ever Film Festival (LESS THAN 14 MINS LONG), Western Hunter Film Fest 2023. It's a DIY, solo hunt, self-filmed, self-edited, no sponsors, video of my 2020 hunt for a 218" Mule Deer (the last one listed in the Amateur Short category). I have no...

CRIES of the Savanna

shootist, I'm glad you were able to take advantage of it. I've only ever booked my own trips, so not sure about using it for upgrades. The amount of SkyMiles it will take varies daily, just like the price paying cash can change daily. I just start watching the dates I want as early as they...

AMEX Delta Card - 90,000 Mile Welcome Offer I long ago realized that Delta was the only airline for me when flying to Johannesburg! I always fly for free with Delta SkyMiles. They have what I think is an all-time high 90,000 mile welcome offer for new card holders (when referred by a current...

As of my trip last August, through Atlanta, the process was pretty much identical as described in the original post. The only minor change was that they took the hunters as they were ordered in line, not necessarily bows first. They also did not wait until they had received all cases from the...

As has been said, July and August are the winter months. As such, the grass and brush are dry and noisy. Bowhunters usually prefer those months because the game is more dependent on water holes. Firearms hunters often prefer April thru June because it is still somewhat green and stalking is...

What's in the wooden box?

Thank you for sharing something other than bowhunting equipment tests! It seems like there is never any hunting in this Bowhunting section, just one broadhead test after another. Glad you had a great time.

I have done both individual trophy pricing and package hunts. When I compare the hunts from two different places, I have a hypothetical list of common animals that I compare, and a specified number of days to hunt. For example, I'm a bowhunter so I normally use 10 hunting days and maybe 5...

Earlier in my hunting career the prospect of non-trophies would have probably had less interest for me. But my walls are now full, and I'm not going to mount another of the same animal just because I take one with a few inches longer horn. For the most part, I'd prefer to hunt more animals for...

Thanks for the info. Odd that it could produce enough testosterone for those great horns but not change color. It's definitely a unique and beautiful trophy.

What's the story with the coloring of this Nyala? If it didn't have horns, I would think it would be a cow. Is it a bull with odd coloring (for a bull this mature), or a cow with horns?

Items I Consider When Booking African Safaris Great topic, and the fact that you care enough to post it speaks volumes for you! Sorry, I’m a little late to respond, but I wanted to give it some thought and give a thorough response. I’ll apologize in advance for the length of it! I’ve hunted...

Great hunt and video!

It was just announced today that the U.S. is going to end the requirement to test for Covid before returning to the United States on international flights! The change starts this Sunday, June 12. CNN News

What about taking the Covid test in South Africa before boarding the flight to return to the U.S.? When it was three days prior to the flight in 2021, it was doable. Now that it is one day, I'm not sure how much faith I have in the South African pharmacies to get the test done that quickly...

npaden, glad you have reached a decision you are happy with. Personally, when a safari company isn't willing to post their price list on their website, I move on in my search. I just don't feel I should have to contact them to get such basic information. I also stay clear of companies that...

I just recently brought home my zebra skin from Africa as well, and I've been pondering the same question. I haven't reached a decision yet. Yours has a uniquely high amount of shadow stripes. It seems like usually, they are more predominant on the back half of the animal and less so on the...

I've never been a fan of the G-5 Montec (although they make some other great products). For me, I have a lot of trouble sharpening them and the blood trails are never very good.

-August 2021 -South Africa -Sable, Kudu and others

You guys would prefer to add 15 hours to your total flight time than fly Delta?! You are still making a stop, either way. I'll take Delta!
