    Advice needed for group of three first time safari

    They definitely have them in Namibia and SA but ask the outfitter about it. I hunted Kowas in Namibia and there were plenty, and where I hunted in Limpopo SA there were ample amount. Again, look at outfitters list but also ask for the honest answer about how easy or hard it will be to find a...

    Advice needed for group of three first time safari

    Ive hunted both and I would say go for Namibia. I love SA but I will say Namibia is safer, less people over all, infrastructure works better, etc... SA and Namibia are the ones I would target for what yall are after. All others go up in price and may have a level of complexity with logistics...

    Looking for free range Aoudad in West TX

    https://www.feoutrider.com/skyfall-aoudad You can also contact Cibolo Creek directly. This is "head on pillow each night in the lodge" type hunt. Not sure exactly what you are looking for but I hear very high success rate. It is on my list but have not done it yet personally.

    Best bullet for pronghorn and chamois

    I agree, toss a coin dude. Those two bullets are both my "go to" in multiple calibers. They have obviously served me well. Several Africa trips, European hunts and plenty stateside. No complaints and animals on the ground. I have heard complaints about the ELD-X up close, meaning within 200...

    Booking on a short notice?

    I have done short notice before in Namibia when I travel for business in Africa. Just talk to them. In my experience every outfitter is very accommodating, as much as their schedule allows them to. It would be easiest if you are just hunting PG and ask to go on dayrate and then pay trophy...

    Hunting Angola The Long Awaited Reopening Announced

    Thanks 375Fox, I was wondering what they went for. Hopefully someone learned more details. I believe there was a one hour seminar on hunting opening up in Angola at the DSC Gala, somebody on AH probably attended. Cheers

    San Antonio TX - Nov 2025

    There are so many options, if you could narrow it down to which type of animal(s), budget and how far you want to drive that would help focus it a lot. As stated, there are tons of options in the form of exotic game ranches that offer dozens of animals, much less whitetail, etc... Literally...

    Warning on new Leupold scopes

    I cant help but envision a child holding a RIFLE with the scope on it (with the deadly battery) that they probably got out of a gun safe. Some irony in there somewhere. I think its overkill and the opposite of KISS.

    USA: Black Bear At The Flying B Ranch - Idaho

    Yep, I did as the guide asked and it all worked out fine. This was our first time to hunt black bear and I would definitely do it again. What I would like to do before though is their hunt for mountain lion. They run hounds and there is a lot more "action" than sitting on bait. Just a different...

    Red stag hunting Poland

    I have hunted with the outfitters below but for Chamois and Roe Deer. They certainly have Red Stag though. I would not hesitate to go with either. I highly recommend them. Take a hard look at them. Marius in Romania is a sponsor here too. Leone who runs Italian Safari is top notch. He has hunts...

    USA: Black Bear At The Flying B Ranch - Idaho

    My son and I just spent a week at the Flying B Ranch in Idaho. Great place, the staff, guiding, hunting, food, accommodations, the whole package. We sat bear bait each day from about 3:45 pm until dark, about 9pm. Sounds boring but we did not really find it to be. For me, it was very nice to...

    Researching dik dik hunts…

    I got one on my last hunt in April of this year in Namibia at Jan Oelofse Hunting Safaris. I posted a story here about that hunt but about the bull elephant I got. Those were the only two animals I shot except a jackal. Since I didnt tell the story about the dik dik. Here it is briefly. We had...
