Like so many others I have followed the disappearance of Scott van Zyl with great anticipation and concern. I check this thread several times a day. I have to express my gratitude and admiration to all the people who spent countless hours searching for Scott. His location and what happened to...

All, please keep the updates coming. I am organizing the Georgia Chapter SCI membership to donate individually and will email blast everyone on our mailing list. I know several have already donated. If you are able, please email and organize your local Chapter to do the same. Our Chapter...

To whoever is managing this post, Please keep updates coming and post often, even if there is not much to add. My first trip to South Africa was to hunt with Scott and SS Pro Safaris. Someobe described Scott as tough as an oak stump and this is so accurate! I hope he is found soon! I will make a...

I've hunted with him twice, 2012 & 2013. His camp has a family atmosphere and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. He will make you feel like an old HS friend you used to hang out with. He has a no pressure atmosphere and fair pricing. PM me if you need more info.

The OP has 1 post to his credit...... 1! Conclusion? TROLL. Although there were some great replies, he / she was fishin'

I smell a troll. After reading about Bazz giving up hunting on this forum....... Hmmmmmm?????? My apologies if I'm wrong but something smells fishy. Just sayin'.....

I'm planning to do some sort of free standing floor pedestal shoulder mount, maybe looking at or eating some leaves. I've got 9' ceilings in my rooms plus a two story den (open to the level above with a loft that overlooks the main floor) so I have plenty of room. I might even put him on the...

Well, since I started this thread I have had the opportunity to go back and hunt South Africa again. We did ask the land owner if he would let us take the giraffe I posted in the opening post. Unfortunately, he said no. However, I did find a nice "dark giraffe" that will now be my trophy...

Straight flight from ATL to JNB. Going in June. I had a woman today with the US Dept of Commerce tell me I needed an export permit for my scope??!! Like... my REGULAR scope!! I've hunted in RSA twice before with my last recent trip last year and I've never needed an export permit for my scope.

Does anyone know if you can travel into and out of Africa with a Digital Night vision Scope on my rifle? This one works both day and night, not just at night like a Gen I or Gen II true night vision. I have a Pulsar Digisight N550 I want to take for some night hunting for the small cats. Does...

You should really take in what Upton is telling you..... if the PH says shoot, pull the trigger and talk about it later. When the PH gets excited, you should too. If you make your first trip a 10 day safari and you go with 3 animals on your list, what are you going to do for the remaining 8...

If you are interested in going to the Limpopo province, I know a few outfitters who are extending their "show specials". PM me if you want more info.

Thanks Brick, that's quite a range and more along the lines of what I was looking for. The last special I saw on this forum was 10K even all inclusive of daily rate, transfers, etc. I am guessing this is a good deal??? The outfitter sold his buffalo package at the SCI National show for $13,500...

Heading over to Limpopo for plains game in June. The outfitter keeps asking me about my interest in Cape Buffalo. Have seen several ads on this site for buffalo specials but wondering what would be a good price for a cape buff? This will be my third trip and do have an interest but also have...
