    Hmmm...Sable or Lioness?

    Having done both with a bow, I would say the lion. You have laid out many of the reasons why above. Having the chance to take one of the big five with a bow is a true honor.

    Obama and Egypt

    You are correct again. But a little update here on that proposal to fund the Military. This is a seperate proposal brought forth by Boehner. It would fund the military and see to it that our soldiers would receive there pay. the administration and the media is trying to paint this as the same...

    Obama and Egypt

    Again you are spot on. But dont think they will allow the government to be shut down to long. They will only use it to blame the republicans, but then they will worry that the public will feel Government is a much better size with it shut down and they dont want that. After all, one of the...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Are These Outfitter Issues Unusual

    It almost sounds like you are not looking for the opinion of others, but are looking for someone to reassure you that you are doing the right thing by staying with the outfitter that you have chosen. You need to make up your mind if you want to defend his actions and continue to stress over it...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Are These Outfitter Issues Unusual

    I have to agree with Tom. You didnt mention trying to call him in your first post. Some guys are away from the internet for a while when in the field. BUt if you call and he cannot answer your questions and does not get back to you, be happy you had a good trip last time and move on. There are...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Are These Outfitter Issues Unusual

    There is one place I go to in Africa that when using the internet I get the same results. I also love hunting there and have been there many times. I gave up on the internet a few years ago with him and just pick up the phone and call. If he is not around he always calls back within a day...

    Good post ILCAPO and I also thank you for your service. Dont worry about the shutdown. It will not effect your budget. The last time the Govenment shut down every Government employee that was not paid received there full back pay. If by chance the Government shuts down again even for a day...

    Seal Hunting

    I have always enjoyed your posts and your hunts. There are not many things That I do not find a challenge to hunt with a bow, but I have to be honest. After watching the video and imagining your words of the odor, This one, not so much. Congradulations on a very unique hunt, but it looked...

    Leopard Attack

    I agree, I dont think they hit the cat before he hit the truck. It looks like they only hit him with the shot when he was running away. Looks like this was a dog hunt. At the very end you see a dog in the background coming from the original direction the cat came from.

    Speaking of Hunting Shows.......

    Baydog, I have always hunted alone in a treestand, Elevated blind, ground blind, portable blind, and tripod in Africa. I have also done some spot and stalk on my own. Not that there is anything wrong with sharing a blind with a PH, I have just never done it.

    Natives...?!

    OMG, Anything but Buck McNeely.. I thought he was gone. That is the worst hunting show I can ever remember seeing in my entire life. I remember going over to Africa maybe 15 years ago and the guys there were complaining about him. Please tell me it was an old re-run and this guy is not still on...

    Activists slam Go Daddy CEO for Elephant hunt

    Bert, You are correct. But I will address the highlighted line in your statement. Put yourself in a position of a non hunter for a moment. Not an anti hunter, just a simple everyday non hunter. Someone who has never been on this or any other hunting forum. They have never read a hunting...

    Bushbuck and Eland back from the taxidermist

    Magnificent trophy's. Congradulations on two very nice bow shot animals. The detail in that Eland mount is fantastic, you should be very happy with your Taxidermist. The Bushbuck, well like I have said many times, Thats the finest trophy for me with a bow, and that one is a beauty. Thanks for...

    The Tiny Ten Antelopes of Southern Africa

    Unintended Meetings with a Big 5 in the Bushveld?

    Everything in Africa bites. The thorns on the trees, and some can be a problem if they get into your bloodstream. Bugs, snakes like Mambas, adders, and cobras. Lions, Jumbo, crocks and others. Any wounded animal even the small ones like a Bushbuck, or the swords of a gemsbuck. There is malaria...

    Hunting Nyala - What is a fair price?

    This may or may not be true, but I was once told they are not as hardy as some other African antelope. Someone has some money invested to have a good heard of Nyala on there property. I was told the cold does not do them any favors and can kill an Nyala easier than other animals.

    Hunting Nyala - What is a fair price?

    I think most of the prices I see today for an Nyala are fair. I think I paid the most for the first 2 animals I shot years ago. All the ones I have taken over the past 15 years cost about half as much and the prices keep dropping.

    Yes the R is for Rand and that is the actual price. I know 1500+ is a bit high but it is a luxury train ride. You could spend that much on a private air charter. What the hey, its only money..lol

    Hunting East Cape Bushbuck

    To me they are the greatest Trophy in Africa. I enjoy reading that so many people appreciate this great animal. Good luck on your hunt. I will agree with most of the posts that almost all the bushbuck I have seen have been mid morning. I have also seen just a couple right at dark.

    Bowhunting ELEPHANT Best Setup

    the safari model is still not available. I heard maybe this summer, but nothing solid. Tom it would actually end up being around 6000. You figure we travel with 2 bows and you have to set both of them up.

    My awesome Lion Mount

    That old stuff shure does have character. Looks like someone cut off the rest of the rug, thats a shame. There is a guy on here that refinishes those old cat mounts and gets some pretty big money for them. At the least you have a couple good teeth for a necklace.
