    :LOL: Well, at least you get yours done before they figured that out!

    Thank you! I remember calling you when I was thinking of booking with them. I think you were in the woods hunting when I called. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to speak with me.

    Thank you! They did take great care of my son and me. DK Safaris is a family operation, and they are good people. And yes, the Waterbuck stunned me when I saw the size of him! Beginner's luck, but that's better than no luck! ;)

    Thank you for reading it! I check AH every day for new Hunt Reports. I like to hear the experience of other hunters in Africa, so it is only right to return the favor! :cool:

    Thank you Matt. It was a great hunt, and Kruger was very, very nice to see. I am thinking someday it would be nice to take one of the walking tours through Kruger for several days. If I get the chance!

    Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. It was so long, I was afraid people wouldn't like it. I just had no other way to tell the story though.

    Thank you! Sable was a dream for me, and the Zebra hide on my first hunt was ruined due to the Covid shutdown, so I really wanted to hunt those two. Other than Sable and Zebra, I was open to what Africa offered up. It took a lot of pressure off, and allowed me to just enjoy being there.

    Thank you for looking at my report. The experience was everything, but it's a added bonus when the trophies are bigger than expected!

    Thank you 375Fox. I appreciate your guidance when I was trying to find someone. And, I am still thinking about the Caprivi that you mentioned. When I do go for the bull, that might be a good option. It isn't the horns, it would be for the experience. Thank you for taking the time to help me out.

    You are welcome, thanks for viewing it. Awesome bear on your profile picture! I have shot black bears, but nothing bigger!

    Thank you so much. It was awesome. That Schnitzel was really delicious! The gravy was perfect for it. My son is studying to be a doctor, and wants to return there to work someday.
