    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Bought myself a Christmas present to bring with me to the Eastern Cape next May: Seiko "Arnie". An updated version of the Seiko that Schwarzenegger wore in the movies Commando & Predator. Having grown up in the 80's this is pretty cool to me.

    The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

    A lot of work travel in December so the Christmas decorations went up earlier to normal. Happy holidays to you and yours, fellow hunters!!!

    Safari boots and brands !!!

    Last year in the Eastern Cape I wore a pair of Courteney Safari’s & a pair of Merrell Moab’s with a Vibram sole. The Merrell’s are comfortable but quality has gone to $hit recently.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Turned 50 this week. The Little Lady got me a Seiko Prospex Special Edition for my birthday. Will be wearing it on my return to the Eastern Cape next year.

    Cost of Shipping Crate from RSA for those interested

    Richd, I live in Warwick, NY. My taxidermist is Jim Stagliano with Stagliano Taxidermy in Walker Valley, NY. Jim is beyond talented, and he hunts Africa so knows the anatomy first hand. Last year was my first Safari in the Eastern Cape but I will be returning next year alongside Jim.

    Display of Hunting Photos

    In the past I have gone on Amazon.com & had photos printed onto large canvas frames in black and white. The black and white in my opinion gives it a nostalgic feel.

    REPUBLIC OF CONGO: Bongo In The Congo Second Try

    Good luck ! I did my first RSA hunt last year and attended my first SCI convention in Nashville this past winter. I saw a bongo mount and was like "what in the world is that"??!! Looks like a Kudu mated with a nyala. Gorgeous animal.

    Newark NJ Office for signing form 4457

    Make sure you educate yourself on the rifle checking process when flying out of Newark. Unfortunately, I fly out of Newark every 2 weeks. Have done so with firearms on multiple occasions & the lack of knowledge on the United Airlines staff for doing so can be a bit clunky. When flying in the...

    For Sale: Men's Courteney Two-Tone Selous UK Size 10.5 Boots

    Buckums, yes they fit true. I am a size 12 American and Jim at Africa Sporting Creations put me into a pair of Courteney Safari boots last year that were 10.5 UK and they fit like a glove so I assumed the Courteney Selous would as well. I believe a 12 US = 11 UK but the Safari's run a bit big...

    I live in NY on the border of Jersey. I got my 4457 completed at Stewart Airport. It was a breeze. Might be worth the drive for you.
