Great topic. My first was good but not great. I brought the wife and son too and frankly now my wife says "never again". I have slowly been convincing her to go again, to give me another chance to show her Africa. That was one negative outcome of the first time for sure. What I learned I guess...

Factor in your age in the sense you may want to reach for one of those adventures that will be a non-starter later in life such as that DIY backpack hunt. Personally, any adventure that burns powder will win me over quicker than fishing. If your wife and/or son have a preference I would...

Not sure on amount of panels. Just 265 sq feet x 32USD a sq = 8480. They are going to give me a discount (not sure how much) at time of payment which is getting close. They volunteered the discount as I had agreed on 32USD a sq when I visited them in Namibia. They have been very good about...

Watching with interest as I am to receive my ears that are still in Africa and will want someone to paint them most likely. A map of Africa would be ideal. I had the panels tanned in Namibia and then they turned them into pistol cases and a few overnight bags, all done there. Same thing...

Also, meant to say, I would recommend staying in Recoleta or Palermo neighborhoods. A hotel or vrbo. There are some other areas you could stay in but these two probably have more good places to stay on average than others so harder to go wrong. The stuff you will likely want to do will not all...

We just hunted Argentina at Christmas time in the Entre Rios province and then spent 4 days hanging out in BA. We stayed at Hotel Alvear Palace which is certainly a higher end, classic option which is consistently popular with foreign tourists. You can walk to some places from there and take...

Like many folks have replied, not really. I have hunted with outfitters that you will find on youtube due to some outdoor/hunting writer having hunted with them, but that is not the reason I chose them. If I see an outfitter on youtube or even a full fledge hunting show, I just see that as a...

X2 on John La Sala at Safari Arms. He can load what you are looking for. That said, personally, I would borrow the outfitters 22 hornet if he has one (many do) or get your hands on any fast, flat shooting round, solids are fine. Also, I shot a dik dik in Namibia last year with a 375 solid...

talk to midwest gun works. They did a Browning A5 for me and no complaints. If not them, talk to Gordy and Sons in Houston. I dont think they will do it themselves but they can get it done for you. I have also used them to reblue, really a total restoration, of two guns and they deliver the...

From all the comments. you have probably gathered, please dont decide on an outfitter solely by posted prices. All experienced hunters would tell you (I say this confidently), do not choose based on price alone. Please go with outfitters who have a great reputation. In all price levels there are...

Near Eagle Lake, Texas. January 2026.

My go to hunting rifle is a 7PRC with a 20" barrel that I shoot suppressed. Its not a mountain rifle specifically but I use it for just about everything and love it. It's a Tikka T3 that Hill County Rifles did their "accurized" package to. Id seriously consider it. The 7PRC should take down...
