    Ghost Elephants

    Was channel surfing tonight and ran across this show with the above title. It came from Werner Herzog, the same guy who made the Grizzly Man film about Timothy Treadwell so I thought I wold take a look. The best part was showing the bushman culture and way of life in Namibia. It even had a...

    The “Three Days Rule” for outfitters, guides, PH’s

    Most of the time I have had good result with a person getting back with me. The only time I had a big issue was with a well known and well regarded sponsor of this site. I gave the person multiple chances because I really wanted to hunt with his outfit. Every time he said he would respond he...

    Tsessebee hunt info

    For my next hunt in SA I am wanting to hunt a Tsessebee. I know they are one of Africa's fastest antelope and are a herd animal but that is about it. Anyone hunted one who could tell me what kind of hunt to expect?

    SOUTH AFRICA: Jannie Otto Safaris - Cannot Recommend

    Wow. All I can say is I am glad you are not an outfitter then. This remark is a slap in the face to all decent outfitters. I suppose this does happen but any reputable outfitter would do their best to provide the hunter with the best experience regardless if this is the first time the hunter...

    Anyone had a ph tell you to shoot the wrong animal or wrong shot?

    Yep. Was hunting gemsbok in SA. Very thick bush. A lot of sneaking around and the sun was getting low with us looking straight into it, so there was considerable glare. We finally set up for a small opening in the bushes. The PH told me he would let me know which animal to shoot as they were...

    My dear Kali

    Para: I feel your pain. We had to put our 8 year old mini-bernedoodle to sleep after an unexpected illness in June. We still miss her. Loved everybody and every dog. So sorry for you at this time.
