    Zimbabwe Elephant Hunt Special 2014

    Nice work Bob! I showed a friend at work the pic of you with your elephant, and said, " that should be me in that picture." Good on you for taking action, and seizing a great opportunity, as well as for taking a great bull. Action is what separates guys with pictures of elephants, from the...

    Blasphemous (and Impossible?) Question

    So, let's put all the cards on the table. You ask what 10-12000!will get, then say what you want will probly run 20 000. So just for conversation sake, tell us you want. I would say a budget of $10 000, would get you incredible promises from a fly by night outfitter, and a plains game hunt of...

    Safety in Limpopo SA for hunters?

    A friend of mine, who has immagrated to Canada, but was born in, and lived in South Africa gave me this advice when I told him I had booked a hunt. Get out of the airport as soon as possible. Do not talk to anyone you don't need to talk to. Get the name, and preferably picture of the...

    What are you wearing for boots?

    Boots When I go to try on boots, I plan on taking a pencil, putting it on the ground, and seeing how sensitive the boots are to things underfoot. I am probaly overthinking this a little too much, But I want to do my best to ensure my first safari is all it can be. As Marius said, "Hunting...

    What are you wearing for boots?

    Howdy folks. Just a question about footwear. I have a hunt booked in South Africa, taking place late December. It will be very hot, and of all my gear, I am most concerned with footwear. Can anyone recommend a particular boot? I think something light, breathable, and water resistant. With...

    Hunting info near Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada ?

    Have a look at Garrett Bros. Outfitting. I believe there territory is north east of Macmurray, and is fly in, or maybe jet boat, so there shouldn't be too many oilfield roads, if any. They offer Moose, Black bear, and Whitetail. Their website looks pretty promising. Check them out.

    What do you want from a safari?

    Good thread Tim bear. I've never been, but this is what I would expect. Trophies- I would expect a reasonable oppurtunity to harvest most of the animals on a list that is realistic with days spent hunting. An animal with it's vitals obscured by trees at 600 yds is not a reasonable...
