Thanks to everyone who made this event happen, was a great time!

Amen. You would think it would be common sense, especially with such vast opportunities in the US. But the stats on personal finance are glaringly opposite, and personal responsibility is disappearing like common sense. As a generalization though, this is a group that does or desires strongly...

Thank you for hosting such a fun event! You and your family's generosity as well as the other sponsors of the door prizes is so much appreciated!

I cant speak for the rest of the world, and understand that's partially what this thread is about, but I can definitely say financial irresponsibility is an epidemic in the USA and "if you want it bad enough" is absolutely spot on. Could go on for hours, but will leave it at that. I'm sure an...

Had an example of this my last safari. Had a Nyala take a step right when I released and the hit was a little far back, not a ton but a bit. I shoot 4 blade grim reapers and use hybrids when in Africa for added peace of mind. It was down in less than 40 yards (I think it was 30). I finished it...

I'm not sure if it's the lack of shock (and additional adrenaline from that), or lack of noise, or both but I tend to agree that I've seen many animals properly shot with proper archery equipment go less distance than properly shot with a firearm. Its counterintuitive unless you see it, but it's...

Congrats on a successful first safari with excellent animals!

This was a good time last year! Me +3 (wife, dad, uncle) would love to attend in 2024! Please let us know if theres anything we can bring

Payment sent for me +3

I've hunted RSA once and the experience was exactly as expected. Actually, it was harder hunting. Any fences, high or low, never had an impact on the hunt or the animals across 3 areas of the country, but especially in the eastern cape. And the research and selection process really wasnt that...

Is this event always on Friday? Making travel plans and want to accommodate to make sure I make this as last year was my first and it was a great time!

Just hire a professional. Its a small portion of what this trip cost. As stated before, your frustration was obvious and trying to tell a government entity what they're supposed to do is never going to get you results, no matter how right you may be. Giving up now would be silly IMO, but I dont...

If someone could post the link here for the 2024 thread when it gets started that would be appreciated!

Look forward to the rest of the story! Hope you are doing well!

In MY opinion, the only time 2 blades should be used is when penetration is the primary focus (buffalo, etc.). A two blade wound channel can be pressed closed. Yes, a cut heart or lungs will be a kill, but it helps to have blood exit to aid in tracking and the bigger the hole the faster the...
