I have hunted White-tailed Deer and Black Bears in Saskatchewan with an outfitter who goes through Wes Hixon's agency to book his hunts. I can for sure recommend Wes Hixon as a booking agent, as he deals with some top-notch outfits who provide great hunting experiences. I have bowhunted with...
Thanks BigSteve57! I hope you and your wife had an equally good and exciting hunt! My months of anticipation have already started again in earnest for next year's hunt! :)
Whoops! I failed to scroll down and see the nice comments from Diamondhitch and Royal27 as well! Thank you! And, yes, Chris and Sabina really did provide a fantastic experience for me. I'm looking forward to more of the same in the future!
Thank you Nyati and Bruce! Oh Africa is, indeed, in my blood! :) Every day now I am deciding what unnecessary costs/purchases I can cut out of my life to finance my return trip! And, yes, I've found an open mind is often the most effective kind when it comes to hunting - or anything else for...
I agree, Bobpuckett! Always so rewarding to have a PH who is willing to put in any extra efforts to ensure all possible chances of your trophy retrieval. Glad they found your Vaal Rheebok! I'm hoping that Chris can put me on a good one of those maybe next May! :) And I sure will post some...
Don't worry, Rob44, he DOES have some big brothers waiting for you in May. Hopefully at least one is an adrenaline junkie who will test your shooting skills! :) We saw several very good bulls on my hunt and also many with loads of potential for the future. Sorry, Bobpuckett, but I sadly do...
Thanks docman, observe, jerome, and Chris! I'm happy to share the stories and photos of such an unforgettable experience in my life! I'm sure everyone I encounter is going to get quite tired of hearing me ramble on and on and on about how deeply I fell in love with hunting in South Africa...
Thanks everyone! You are absolutely right, sestoppelman - 7 days is really just a warm-up! I will definitely go for longer next time. I'm thrilled to have started out my African hunting career in such a grand manner, brickburn and phoenix phil, and thanks for your congrats. I'm pretty well...
Last December, while patiently waiting to try to arrow a White-tailed Deer from my wind and blizzard whipped ground blind on the North Dakota prairie, I began daydreaming about my upcoming hunt with Chris Troskie of CT Safaris in South Africa. Chris offered a 7-day plains game hunt here on AH...
I unfortunately couldn't give a lot - money gets tight this time of year. :( But I gave a little as I very much respect such projects and appreciate the fact that my life has been easier than it is for plenty of other folks in this world who just want a chance. Best wishes to this endeavor and...
Very interesting article that touches on some extremely important points - thanks for posting! Sad to see this ignorant mindset will likely prevail, though!
Thanks for your responses so far, guys! I feared that there were no great reasons behind these moves, but I had to ask since I am unfamiliar with how these countries operate. As a wildlife biologist, it GREATLY ticks me off that so many decisions about wildlife - all over the world - are made...
I wish I knew more about exactly why these changes have been proposed - as well as the upcoming ban on hunting in Botswana. I am an American, so my knowledge of how these countries manage their wildlife is pretty poor. But as a wildlife biologist and hunter, I can't understand how anyone can...
Hello jduckhunter from a fellow Pennsylvanian! Well, I was born and raised there, in the southwestern part of the state. I traveled to lots of place for my university studies and wildlife work, but eventually fell in love with the Dakota prairies and now live here in North Dakota. Glad you...
Same to you, Edward! I hope the hunting gods shine down upon me one last time in 2012, though, as well - still trying for a big whitetail buck here in North Dakota with my bow! :)
Congrats on some very nice deer! Always a good feeling when the deer gods smile down upon you and grant you such success! :) I was wondering what part of South Dakota you hunted? Not so you would reveal your secret spot, of course, but I was just curious as I have been working in southcentral...
Great video with some excellent scenery, wildlife shots, and an exciting kill scene! I'll likely never be able to afford an elephant hunt but it's nice to see others' hunts. Ever have room on a hunt for a less expensive non-hunter observer?
Wow! Very interesting photos and great story! Thanks for sharing - I really enjoyed it! Especially since I am currently riding out a wicked snowstorm here in North Dakota in the USA! Gave me a great mental journey to go on while I savored a nice glass of wine! :)
It is useful to put your broadheads in your bow case in a separate container - like a small plastic container - that way they can't cut anything. And be double sure they mark your bow case AS a bow and arrows, NOT firearms! Some airline employees don't understand that there's a huge difference...
Hi Gavin!
I enjoyed the slideshow on your website very much! Looks like you hunt in some beautiful country with some great-looking hounds! It must be exciting to listen to your hounds work the tracks of the species that you hunt! I enjoy hunting with hounds very much too, and have a...
