While I appreciate the rustic side of things as well, I'll stick to pants. Don't sweat the wildebeest. Unlike North American hunting, I would wager wounded African animals suffer much much less. Tennyson said, "Tho nature, red in tooth and claw..." I don't think he was referring to Africa...

Imagine that thing coming into your tent for a midnight snack. What a toad!

Awesome! Congrats. But that looks like a lot of work. :cool:

@Huntforever thank you for reviving this thread. Hadn't seen it before. Good stuff

@mdwest - very cool idea. Add me to the rotation roster. @baxterb can you tell us more about that knife? I really like the dimensions and shape.

Following. Good luck. Can't wait for the pics

The unique ones are more memorable to me. Looks great! I wasn't gonna shoot a warthog last year on my cape buff hunt but this guy came out. Has character.

I do the same. But I have a buddy in DeWalt sales so I get a solid discount. They make a "shorty" version reciprocating saw that allows the one handed approach I hold the ham over the cooler and cut the femur just above the knee. Super handy

That is a lovely old weapon. Thanks for sharing the pics

Always good to have more Texans. Welcome.

I very much enjoyed @Fatback 's hippo on land hunt and have repeatedly read about nighttime sugar cane hunts from @Hunter-Habib and others I'm starting my planning for next year. Would appreciate any recommendations on ph's and outfitters that guide on wild and naturally occurring regions...

They look great. The smile on your wife and son's faces is priceless.

This one's gonna be good. Enjoying it already.

I found that a quick release belt was helpful for in and out of the vehicle. This is a tacticool Amazon special something or other reinforced belt that I like for the speed of the buckle. Ammo, flashlight, knife and multi tool (with tweezers !!!!) and I was all set. Left the binos in the LC.

Solid advice I still have eyes decent enough to play at 400yds with irons but I wouldn't hunt at 200 with irons unless I had to for survival. Maybe not even 100 yards.
