From my first safari in RSA. I hunted in the Free State by Potchefstroom and North West by Rustenburg. I had a great time. I hunted with Wild Footprint Safaris (Rustenburg) and will definitely hunt with them again.

No time right now for full story and all pics, but here is a pic of the waterbuck I shot on the 4th day of the hunt.

I will also say I had a good experience flying Delta. I flew from Kansas City to Atlanta to J-burg. Same on the way back. All personell were very accomodating in checking my rifle case and other luggage.

The BEST part I can say about Delta is that we DID NOT have to stop in Dakar to refuel. It was non-stop both ways from Atlanta to J-burg.

I'm about wore slick right now so will get the other stuff posted when I have time.

Congratulations!!

Very nice Waterbuck. Nice to hear that a nother hunter ejoyed his hunt in S.A.

Good luck in the huntingfield and shoot straight.
 
Tarina sent me an email, told me you got a nice Waterbuck. Looks like the CZ .375 H&H in the picture. I think I will take the Delta flight next time. Don't want to stop in Dakar again.
 
Sounds like you had a great hunt. I can't wait to hear about it.
 
Glad to hear things went well, looking forward to hearing all about your trip and seeing some more pictures.
 
Eager to hear more and see more photos...
 
Nice waterbuck !!!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
