Yep, I've been leaning toward a sponsor. Spoke to one the other day from here who has great reviews and would have to wait until 2024 to hunt but that may be what I end up doing. I was thinking potentially about going in August of 2023. That's what I had spoken to Eric about. He was offering...

Hello all, Met Eric at the Sportsman's show in Denver. They were taking bookings for African hunts and he had some great footage of some kudu on the property that he was showing me. I can't find much about Langkloof other than nice posts from non hunters about staying at the resort. Eric said...

I agree! The more I think about this, I'm just going to have to be honest with Leo and tell him that although I'd love to hunt with him personally, I just can't have any association with someone with a past like Juan appears to have. Thanks all for the advice,

Thanks Scott, I did speak with him briefly about it. He's aware of the rap Juan has for hunting rhinos, but said it was legal so he had no issue with it. Rhino hunting was not what I had read that concerned me about JP Safaris. Seems he's cheated folks out of $ and promised things he hasn't...

Actually, I'm leaning more toward NOT booking with him due to JP's bad wrap. I don't in any way have my mind made up, however I was looking for more constructive feedback. Something akin of the relationship you have with your PH versus the relationship you have with the outfitter and what each...

Back in 2019 my wife and I went to Africa on a pure photo safari with Mafageni safaris. We had a great time and our guide Leo was awesome! Super accommodating, wonderful individual, and was crazy good (from our perspective) on spotting animals. I had told Leo I'd come back one day to hunt...

Now that's a great reply! Thank you!

Specifically bela bela now that I look it up

Here was the outfitters message: You're correct, the bush will be pretty thick February/March. Because of their behavioral pattern they'll be in the mountains which doesn't have to many thickets. So I personally would recommend this time because we'll see more bulls and get more opportunities to...

Sorry, looking at South Africa, a bit south of Limpopo (actually about half way between Limpopo and Johannesburg if I recall is where the outfitter is)

Hey all, I've been reading quite a few posts, still on the fence though and could use some advice. I want to go back to Africa to hunt greater kudu and gemsbok. I found an outfitter I'm chatting with and since my dates are 2024, there are plenty of openings. I've not had great luck in the states...
