    Many cheap hunts vs only one very expensive premium hunt in a lifetime

    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

    I need a "Use Enough Gun" Gun. Suggestions?

    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.

    Flea and Tick Shampoo on Hunts?

    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...

    TANZANIA: Mto wa Mbu: African Buffalo Safari Trackers

    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...

    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    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:

    Filming African Safaris

    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.

    Pelican 1300 good price on Amazon

    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)...
