Hello to everyone! I just wanted to share that I booked the tickets, so it's official that I'm headed back to Africa for time number 2 in June.
For those of you who read about my experiences in time number 1 here; I'll be using the same outfitter and going back to the same place. It will be kind of nice to hunt where I have a general idea of the ground. For those of you who missed my report, the link will be at the bottom of this mess. Also, the area of Natal where I'm going finally got rain last year. The animals had a chance to put some energy to horn growth as opposed to staying alive.
No serious gear changes are planned, I'm sticking with what worked. My trusty .375 H&H will have a new scope but that's about it. I'll be going for 10 days this time since it still will be too short.
On the "to do" list this time will be be: (in order of want) Eland and Kudu, to see if I can finish my spiral horn slam. Blesbuck just because I think they make a great trophy. Wildebeest and bushbuck because they are dang fun to hunt. Impala because they are delicious and warthog because they are everywhere!
I have almost exactly six months left and less stuff to do than first time, this may be a trial. I hope to see at least some of you in Vegas, have a good one!
