Haha trip is cancelled. We’re going to take a week and hit the black hills and Yellowstone instead. It will be a nice constellation prize.....

Thanks John, I’ll look into that.

Nice! I will have to look into that. My dad wants to elk hunt Idaho. I was thinking Montana just for the fact that it’s probably a little closer to me here in Iowa and they have over the counter tags. We also bought a baited bear hunt in Minnesota this weekend, but I’d like to spot and stalk...

Thank you all very much for the advice. One thing I’d like to mention, even though I have not hunted with them, I know that I will be choosing Wild Wildebeest Safaris when I am able to go in the future. Tonie (owner) and Steve (US rep) could not have been more understanding or helpful. Both were...

We went to the doctor today and as expected they advised not going. I’d love to go, and will probably regret it because I’d guess it’ll be a few years before another opportunity comes up, but I don’t know how comfortable I am to go on a trip and leave my wife home. She was looking forward to...

Thank you all very much. We were assuming it would be a no go for now and we will have to make other arrangements. I’m sure Africa will be there for a while yet haha.

Hello everyone, My wife and I have received some great news. We are expecting an additional to our family in August. It will be our first human child, we have two dogs. We are beyond excited but are anticipating our OGBYN visit tomorrow because we have a safari planned for April. We are fully...

I am assuming the place you are talking about is Gansbaai? Everywhere I’ve been looking into operates out of there, but all of them I’ve looked at also provide pickup and drop off options from Cape Town.

I’m not sure if a outfitter could help you out, but to me honest you can probably do it yourself and cut out the middle man. We are just doing a multi city trip with our flight, booking our hotel, and the tour. It seems most of the GWS tours provide optional pickup and transportation from Cape...

I am an electrician. I had never dreamed of being able to hunt in Africa, but one night at a Whitetails Unlimited banquet, me and a friend bid on a safari and won. I am fortunate that my wife and I had already been living below our means. About two years prior to the banquet, we really buckled...

Hopefully you planned well for the outside walls, they filled them bad boys completely with foam. I don’t see any afterthought additions there without stripping it back to the studs.

Welcome Andrew! Sioux City here

Type faster...... haha

JP, I am in probably a similar situation as you. I have my safari booked however. We bought our safari on an auction. Tbh, I’d never given any thought to going to Africa to hunt, but the booze was flowing, and we got it under our budget that we had all agreed on. What I have done is added...

Hi alexandro, I am from Iowa, and hunt white tail deer, coyotes, and other fur bearing animals in the cold. One thing I try to do is to focus on dressing in layers. I do use an artic shield coat on the outside. Underneath I wear a thermal long sleeve, another long sleeve sweater, and may throw...
