    Free Flights to Africa

    The first year is free and comes with a 70,000 mile bonus plus the person referring you gets 10,000. My wife and I refer each other. So then it’s 80,000 miles after spending $3,000 in 6 months. The bonus varies. So with only approximately $10,000 in spend on 2 or 3 cards you can accumulate...

    Free Flights to Africa

    It’s the only way to go. You can get 2.5 card bonus per year on personal cards plus the business cards if you own a business. So if you’re not charging $200,000 or more your better off taking the free flights. When discussing dates i tell my ph it’s totally dependent on free flights. Flights are...

    Safari Travel Tip - Air Tags

    I flew this same route last week. Customs really don’t like it when you pick up your luggage and take it to them while you wait for the guns. They had a supervisor take with me about it. Lol. Who were you hunting with?

    Rifle for daughter

    I chose the 338 federal in a Ruger Hawkeye for my daughter. A little more punch than the 308 and good ammo available.

    375 ruger or 416 ruger?

    I made this choice and choose the 375 Ruger for the down range performance with a huge selection of bullet weights and styles.

    One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

    Leupold CDS Feedback

    Been there done that. Takes too long in the real hunting world. Know you bullet trajectory and just hunt. From my experience all the additional stuff is fun at the range and for day dreaming. When the hunt comes most if not all goes out the window.
