    First Post – Planning Our First African Safari

    Many Outfitters have a rifle. Some charge and some don't, like my husband used a 30-06 for his black wildebeest when he was hunting with his compound bow. Our outfitter did not charge extra.

    First Post – Planning Our First African Safari

    After our first safari, my husband swore he wasn't going to make that flight again. 2 weeks later he realized how relaxed he was in South Africa and we were already planning another hunt for 2 years later.

Low fenced areas are quite difficult to hunt and are more costly in the long run. With a group, a good outfitter will help plan and should...

    SCI Recordbook Trophies' documents held up from South Africa in US Customs

She is great and has taken care of many shipments for us. The South Africa permits and CITES were sent ahead of...

    Dave got that buck at his sister's house. He walked straight at his treestand. He bought a lifetime resident hunting license when he lived in KS. I need to get out side, just had a monster walk by my treestand twice, an hour apart. Our property is between 2 parts of Mark Twain National...
