    My Due Diligence- Checking On Outfitter- Game 4 Africa Safaris?

    We are booked with them for July 2027 for our first trip. Everything has been smooth as can be and if there was anything negative I believe I would have found it. Look forward to your hunt report if you go before us.

    Deposits are Sent!

    We are going with one of their packages to start with, which in include, Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest, Impala and Blesbuck. If we are successful on all 5 of these we will be overjoyed but not against taking what Africa presents us or adding to this list as we go.

    Suppressor Recommendations

    I currently only own 2 rifles. One 30-06 and a 6.5cm that isn't threaded yet. Ideally it would be nice if one can would work for both but I would lean more to gun/caliber specific suppressors if they prove to be better set up that way. Both guns are strictly for hunting. I only target shoot to...

    Suppressor Recommendations

    I am looking for recommendations on suppressors for 30-06. I thought I had my mind made up on the SilencerCo Scythe TI. It checks all the boxes. Short, Lightweight, and a brake on the end. I am opening up my search again after reading several reports about them coming apart. I cant say if this...

    To Suppress or Not to Suppress? That is the question!

    I am looking for thoughts on getting barrels threaded for suppressors. Both rifles are Bergara B14 hunters. One is 6.5CM and one is 30-06. I am throwing around the idea of using the same suppressor for both guns. I would ideally like to shorten both barrels to compensate for the added length of...

    Long Range hunting versus bowhunting wound loss rates?

    I grew up bow hunting and still love it today at 56 years old. This thread almost feels like an AA meeting. "Hi, My name is Jim and I have also lost a deer while bowhunting" As a short time member on this site I can see most of this style of hunting "African safaris" is tailored to rifle...

    How many of you DON'T mount all your trophies?

    Not to highjack this thread, but as a guy planning his first trip, do you guys find that this matters at all to your outfitters whether or not you get things mounted? Does this effect their bottom line? I've only mounted one whitetail and a few turkey fans over the years. More of a picture guy...

    1st trip-How did you decide?

    Still in the planning stages for my 1st time going to Africa. What I would like to know is what was important to you on making your decisions on which outfitter to go with. Each time I think I am narrowing it down I come across another outfitter that looks just as good or better than the...
