Thank you. This was very helpful! My voting is now complete…[emoji[emoji637][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]][emoji639]]

Regarding the upcoming elections for the new BOD, I noticed a few adds in my February American Hunter, where candidates have solicited for our votes. To get back on track, and to continue to follow the Mission of the NRA, has there been on post about this? I've done a search on AH, but haven't...

Stay tuned for the next hunt report… it was quite the conspiracy. We had an amazing trip and we were very pleased with the animals we hunted.

The guys on that team are good men. Drom has put together a quality bunch of guys. Regarding Andre…he certainly has a unique sense of humor and has amazing field skills. I’ve learned a lot from him.

On an adventure like this, and on other excursions I've done, I like to learn from my mistakes and watch others in their success and improve my skills where possible. You might say that I'm a good plagiarist. I'm hoping that my learnings will help others and that they can be a better hunter...

Day 10-Last hunting day After another beautiful sunrise with coffee in hand, we pack the truck to the gills with hides, horns, guns, gear and luggage. I felt like the Clampetts! Andre informed us that he and the owner Drom had arranged for us to have a dove hunt close to Johannesburg and that...

Day 8 Because of our success last night, we thought we’d try the same tactic on Black Wildebeest. The wind was on a mission, and it wasn’t hard to figure out what side to sit on in this Pan. This morning, I felt like a Lion hiding in the grass. Again, it worked, and we each got a bull...

Day 7 Today was quite a windy day, and we tried various tactics to close in on some animals, even trying some techniques that reminded me of deer hunting. Starting off, we each got a Springbok, but the little buggers were tough to get close to. It was a fun hunt, and the more I hunted this...

Day 6 Today we headed out to look for Tom’s Gemsbok, and we drove for quite awhile before Andre found one worthy of a stalk. What a beautiful property, Lord only knows how much game we saw. I spent a lot of time taking pictures today, as I’m still sulking a bit about yesterday. Tom of course...

Day 4 Today we drove most of the day to get to the Northwest Province. What a different landscape! Flat, and very open for most of the property with scattered islands of trees and grass. I can see that here is where some longer distance shooting may come into play. Gulp. This may be difficult...

Thank you. It's taken me some time to work up the courage to begin writing this up. I've been blessed to have taken several on their first trips too. It's the next best thing to having a "first" experience all over again. I enjoy sharing those moments...making memories with those we love.

That .280 has served me well, and has accounted for a lot of animals for us over the years. Stay tuned...she shines well with those copper bullets. I'll never shoot anything else after what was demonstrated to us in Africa!

She was an old toothy gal!

Day 3 Tom awakened me when he walked across the porch of my Chalet…guess my sleeping pill worked last night! Staying true to our mission, Andre wanted to continue deeper in the ranch today to go after my Kudu. Going through the last of the cattle gates, Andre was telling us about a particular...
