PlaidDad here. (Madison, Wisconsin is exactly as described in the subject line.) Glad I found this! My wife and I did a couples safari to Limpopo in 2018. She didn't know why she wanted to go until I showed her pictures of African Sunsets. She is the Sunset Queen! A month before our hunt, she announced that she wanted to hunt, too. First day out, she and the PH stalked for 50 yards and she harvested a beautiful Impala with one shot from the 308 at 135 yards. Her comment, "What's the big deal?" I got a beautiful Kudu, Red Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest and another great Impala. We are hoping to go back soon! I posted an ad in classifieds for a Blaser R8 barrel and magazine insert, 375 H&H Magnum.
 
Welcome to AH PlaidDad!
 
Welcome to the best forum! Just back from a week in Martell, even went full Wisco!
 
Glad you found us! Strong work taking your wife and glad you both had a quality adventure. Best wishes moving forward towards your next safari!
 
:S Welcome:
 
PlaidDad, lucky you!! Having a wife that has seen Africa in all of its' beauty and no doubt likes it. My question for you is, when are you going back? BTW does your better- half hunt in Wisconsin as well?

Welcome aboard.
 
Welcome. We were in your neck of the woods last summer at Taliesin My wife is from Racine.
 
Greetings PlaidDad,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

My wife too loves Africa.
Although not a hunter, she indeed is more fond of fishing than I am (and I do enjoy fishing).
Furthermore, she has no argument against hunting and several times has asked me to try for this species or that, in order for her to have it sent to a taxidermist and then festoon our house with whatever it is.

Anyway, I shall look forward to your hunt reports and especially any of your pictures you care to post.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Thanks. I am enjoying AH a lot! I have a question. I posted in Classifieds and want to edit the posts, but can't figure out how to do it.
Welcome from Waukesha County!
As far as editing, you only have a few minutes after posting to edit (10 maybe?)
 
Welcome aboard! Indeed please come back. Those African sunsets get in your soul!

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
