"AFRICA SUN SAFARIS"

Growing up in Kansas we hunted deer various ways. Some blind hunting. Some driving around and finding the deer from the truck... then short stock and shoot. Occasionally the deer was taken from the truck. Although illegal most everyone did and continues to do this some. The ones that yelled...

The Husqvarna was the working man's gun. I have had several husqvarnas 2 in m/96, 2 in m/98 and two in m/1640. The one I have left is in the M98. I have taken quite a bit of game with them. I am debating which caliber to take with me in May. The 9.3 may win out. Here is my husqvarna...

Burkina! I never thought of West Africa... that might be fun...

It will probably remain a dream, because I have a hard time letting that kind of money go for fun.

Where would you say is the best Lion Hunting available today? Let me define... big maned lions in wide open country. Not considering accessibility and political climate. It is on my bucket list. Then considering accessibility and political climate where is the best considering that? Aaron

We lived there for three years doing church work but also did some hunting. I am going back because as the saying is... the African Dust really never leaves your feet. Going with my Husqvarna 9.3X62. Aaron

Years ago when we began I was involved but only for a bit. Due to leaving living on dark continent and coming back to america for what I thought was forever I weaned of most things African. Well I am back. I also plan on being back in Africa for visits again in 2018 including a hunt in Namibia...

Zek, Welcome to the ADDICTION! If you are new to shooting as well... get yourself a .375 H&H in a Ruger, CZ bolt gun or a few others would be OK as well. Get a low power 1-5 or 2-7 variX-2 or 3 Leupold scope. Other brands are fine just check here before you buy. I would avoid expensive...

We used to say... Beer Nuts or Deer Nuts... One is still under a buck!

I also think these kudu will measure about the same.

Here is my kudu that was 55.5 so hence my guess as they look like twins...

What did i win?

I never heard of a Namibian being anti-hunting... I lived there for 3 years... probably ex-pats.

56" on his left side and 55" on his right... i am probably undershooting him a bit. He looks a lot like mine and that is what i am basing my guess on.

What countries in Africa do you think it is fairly easy for ex-patriots to own guns... Namibia was gun friendly when i lived their... i have heard botswana is nearly impossible and Zambia is easy... what about RSA? or Zimbabwe, etc... I am interested mainly in Southern Africa. Aaron

I am a pastor and missionary... but Africa is calling us back. We will be going somewhere southern... most likely Namibia but we are thinking about Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia about in that order... I have two older children 15, 17 and two younger 4, 7... so Zim would be challenging. Namibia...

Why go? Why not!? As the above post point out... it is THE place for great value and experience. You will shoot more animals in a week than some shoot in a lifetime. Where else can you go and have that much experience for the money? Ray, My kids look at their African experience as...
