I do wear regular knee length gaiters for certain hunting situations. But not in the NT, especially late season when we hunt. In fact, I wear them more to keep dry than for snakes. Although we have many of the world's most venomous snakes, they really aren't a problem when hunting and...

Here's what I wear hunting in the NT. The heat will kill you quicker than the snakes ;)

I've had a good run with both Warne and Leupold QRW on my Mk.X 458WM.

I'll never book a cancellation hunt sadly, only because I'm always booked up 2-3 years in advance lol. I'm the sort of guy who needs goals to strive for. ;)

I don't think Moz will be in my budget. Tholo and NKWE are certainly on my Radar. ;)

Anything is possible! I've hunted Zim once before. It's moreso the type of terrain/style of hunt I'm gearing towards this time. I enjoy that semi-open glassing country with spot & stalk hunting. My animal list is of secondary importance and won't be a long one.

Hi all, I'm considering options for my next safari in 2028, when I turn 50. For those who've hunted both, how does the South Africa side of the Kalahari compare to Namibia, or even Botswana? I really enjoyed the terrain and hunting in Southern Namibia. My last few safaris were in the Eastern...

Because they're light, affordable and they work.... I'm not overly endeared to my T3, but it just shoots. It's hunted all over 3 continents now over more than a decade, with zero issues.

You're good to go.

Great report, thanks and congratulations on your beautiful trophies. I too love Hartebeest and that great bull is fitting for the work you put into him.

Before I hunted with Kowas in Namibia, I asked them their average shot distance and they said 130m. After my Safari, across 8 trophies, I found this to be spot on. Shots ranged from 40m out to just over 200m.

Shorts for me 95% of the time. ;)

Top quality animals, congratulations, glad you enjoyed your hunt!

As we'd say in Australia....the bloke is an A-Grade flog. ;)

I'd be finding a new outfit....that's garbage. I'd happily walk from a $1k deposit in those circumstances. Back in 2019, we booked a buff/ele hunt with KMG Hunting Safaris for 2020. Due to Covid, we couldn't complete the hunt until August 2022. Marius was 100% solid on honouring his original...
