    Two Hunting Packages Namibia Discounted

    Roger, were the skulls from hunters or were they from the starvation deaths? You said "Time is needed to recover." Any indication on when the effects of the drought will have been reversed enough for hunting to improve? With whom did you book your safari?

    Philip, I hope this message finds you well. Are you planning to visit the 2018 DSC Convention? I hope you do as I would like to meet you in person. We first connected a couple years ago via email after I came across your business from a website that promoted PH's to European hunters. And now...

    There is enough time, so maybe we could just send a check... ? Not a fan of PayPal; Anti-2nd Amendment.

    Knives... do you carry one?

    I find it useful to include a knife in my Every Day Carry (EDC) items whether I'm at work or off and around town, and especially when I'm in the field. During my trip to RSA last year, I did carry a knife to the field and used it a few times, but as expected, the staff performed all the...

    Marketing Ideas for Hunting Outfitters?

    My opinions that follow come from 20+ years in the Sales & Marketing (pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices) industry and more so from the last 5 years; I left the corporate world to work on my own assisting small businesses with their unique Sales & Marketing needs which has covered a wide range...

    What Do You Expect from a Show Stand?

    I was pleased to see this thread as it shows that safari exhibitors are making an attempt to better address the potential client. I have over 15 years experience in conventions and for a time, was responsible for my company's booth at our trade show/conferences. I was in sales for a...

    What To Take In The Field

    All great ideas with useful gear. What and how much to carry is a personal choice and depends on each situation; climate, terrain, PH, experience level, etc. Most list some sort of a First Aid Kit (FAK) which is a good thing. But one thing that I would urge others to consider is a Trauma Pak...

    Safari Clothing/Gear

    It can't be emphasized enough; no need to over-pack! I took three pairs of Carhartt summer weight work pants in dark green (faded). I like them because they have the little pockets on the thigh to store stuff. Three 5.11 Tactical shirts were an excellent choice as they have the vented back...

    The Quality of American Firearms...

    I respect your opinion but have to point out one thing; With the evidence presented in court from a Class Action Suit, its hard to ignore the fact there was a huge problem with them even then. If this is not true, then why did Remington agree to retro fit 7.85 MILLION rifles? Because they are...

    The Quality of American Firearms...

    My view of his motivation for sales pitching Steyr is largely based upon statements he made such as the following; “As amazing as they are, why are Steyr Mannlicher rifles not more popular in the US? For me to sell one, it's a "hand sell" every time.” If its a sales pitch as you seem to think...
