I believe we each make that choice. Neither is right nor wrong. Sunny case, I prefer fewer trips and wild areas. 2011 Zambezi Valley Buff/plainsgane 2016 Niassa Province Buff/plainsgane 2025 Binga District Elephant

Looking forward to a scotch with you tomorrow night

What’s the choking risk to same child if the tool isn’t secured? Geez

In the air Tampa to Atlanta then to Joburg. Next day Zimbabwe. My CO’s 375 and 404j are coming along. I find the 375 a pleasure to shoot. The 404j is fine standing off hand. I will use the 404j for my first elephant and will let you know how it goes. As always, shot placement means the most.

GLWS. Mine has my cz 375 and 404j in It right now in Tampa airport. It is a great case. I’ve had mine 20+ years and love it.

Congratulations on your successes and great adventure.

I treat my safari clothes with Premethrin and bring along Picaridin spray for the biters. We leave for Tokoloshe in five days. I used spray this time vs. immersion in the bucket. Let them hang dry for a couple days, then once through the washer, no soap and dryer then into the bags. We...

What a fantastic adventure and super animals. I try to have some travel before my hunts too - spending the time and money to 'get to Africa' is the largest investment. The extra time for the sightseeing is worth it. I had a similar adventure to your Precision Air fun for a flight from St...

Yeah! Beautiful. Looks big. Congrats

June 25 for us

In central Florida. I sent a photo of the weather forecast to Liesl at Tokoloshe the other day. Our low temps (L78/H91F) are their high temps right now (L52/H79F). We leave in less than 2 weeks. I might need a down jacket there! :E Cold:

My first safari included a Safari Classics cameraman, a former Rhodesian parks guy that had culled elephant and had the scars to prove it. The 30 minute dvd is on the shelf (that was back in 2011 when I hunted). We watch it once in awhile and it really brings the trip back to life.

Have a blast. I'm wheels up June 25 Tampa ATL Joberg, overnight at City Lodge, then to Vic Falls the. next day. You will have a great time. Remember, take what Africa offers while you're out hunting!

Just bought and received a Pelican 1300 with foam in black from Amazon - Pelican has a store on Amazon. The price was $62.92 plus taxes vs. $89.95 directly from Pelican on their website. The savings pretty much paid for 2 of the Pelican cable locks for the case ($14.95 each vs $22.95 direct)...

Thanks guys. @DLSJR I'm using the same. Staying in City Lodge overnight, then fly out the next day to VF.
