SOUTH AFRICA: My Epic Return To Frontier Safaris

Congrats on a great safari! Sounds like a place I would like to hunt someday. I’m glad you didn’t let any of the increased virus travel BS keep you from going! People need to keep living their lives and traveling. My hat’s off to you for some great shooting as well.
Thanks Scott! After this trip I can say for sure there is nothing keeping people from traveling but themselves. Yes wearing a mask and testing is trouble but other than that all was normal. Most of us flew business class and no mask required there!
 
Thank you for your report. I appreciate the educational aspects of your hunts. I always learn something. Keep up the good work and the good writing! Your friend Brian
Brian thank you so very much.
 
Congratulations on a very successful return to where your journey began. Thanks for the report. Any chance you will be getting some of your first timers to post about their experiences?
 
A great hunt with some fine animals. Congratulations!

Yes when I flew in June, we weren’t really wearing masks in business class. That was nice. Nobody said a word.

I certainly need to. Thanks
 
I too had an amazing Safari with Frontier in 2019. Barry’s hospitality and facilities are 1st rate. I really like the Golden Wildebeest - never seen one!! What caliber did you use for the Duiker and Oribi?

After re reading your great report I assume you used the 300 Win. My next safari I’d like to chase some of the Tiny Ten but didn’t know if .300 Win was too much gun.

Blue Duiker was a shotgun and Oribi was a .300Win.

On a different safari where I was after many of the tiny's I used my Ruger 5.56 with Barnes bullets and did very well

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
