Should I remove “Archery” and replace with “Sporting” on my hard case? But yes 2 booking numbers.

Flight is next Monday. Didn’t want to chance it. Still only had repatriation flights when I decided not to chance it.

Going to Bulawayo next week. Had to switch from Qatar to British Airways, first time not using either Emirates or Qatar. My PH was nervous about the EU weapons embargo to Zim and going through Heathrow- I guess he’d heard of weapons not making it to Zim. I booked 2 separate tickets per his...

Everyday worker at the check in counter is usually clueless. Good thing is you’ll get a supervisor which will expedite. One weighed my arrows to make sure they weren’t more than 5 kg……….if in a black case you may also get a CBP check- I use 3 master locks on mine. Be careful with secondary...

I didn’t have any issue but expect it to be treated like a firearm. Lady weighed my arrows………..Good thing is you’ll get a supervisor who’ll expedite.

I prefer Emirates and have found their business runs $2k less Q every time I’ve flown/looked. Only reason I’ve used Qatar is to get to Harare in time to charter out. $8 v 10k this time around.

Check AA using others' equipment guys. SALE I only fly Emirates & Qatar to Africa, even SA. Much prefer Emirates. Wheels up 4/11 for Bullawayo. Had booked Qatar business myself as it's with a bow in January for $10 and change. Qatar is fully refunding irrespective of fare in segments now...

Yup

I’ve never tipped a bush pilot nor have I seen any of the other hunters I have shared/exchanged legs/rides with do so. I prefer the PH provide me with envelopes or a list. I generally go above. I also do not like the entire tip be lumped together and prefer to individually thank those who have...

I like Emirates (Business) over Qatar. Heard mixed things about BA. I'm fixin to book Business to Bulawayo Zim via Jo'burg. Either BA or Emirates. Prefer flying on 380s for business. BA- 9hrs 777 to Heathrow then 11hrs 380 to Jo'burg v. Emirates15hrs 380 to DBX then 777 9hrs to Jo'burg. Any...

I’m going in April for leopard in southern Zim. Forgot the name of the place (not good with African names). Going with Butch Coaton. He’s done over 100 leopards and a bow hunter. All I know is there’s “plenty of big cats” and a “good area.” All I know is he’s really excited where we’re going...

In the Emirates Lounge in Jo’burg. On my way back home 8 day bow hunt Eastern Cape/Karoo. Not a lick of rain. Windy as shit though.

Fucking Zim Parks cut quotas and I’m out for my ‘26 leopard bow hunt in the Save. Any leads or keep me in mind for cancellations would be greatly appreciated.

Can this be done with a bow? Leopard + buff 12 days?

Any left? Dropping off my ele hide on Monday to get some cowboy boots made (along with zebra for my wife). Looking to refurb a case and wrap in the hide it harvested.
