    Plains game hunt costs

    John gave a great accounting. I did an auction donation hunt with Kuvhima Safaris... was a good deal and let me add some animals. All said and done $25,000 was my approximate cost as well. So for 2 hunters from leaving the US to Animals on your wall I'd say thats a fair estimate. Then work...

    What are good units for public land hunting in Wyoming for Antelope?

    I was lucky enough to draw Area 32 this year... definitely looking for pointers! I'm going to get a Muddy Mountain area pass, but anyone who can narrow down some good areas would be appreciated as I won't get a scouting trip in prior to season. Anyone else draw WY this year?

    Snakes in April

    Last April 9-21 in Limpopo we saw both a puff adder and a black mamba... if I recall correct the mamba was actually on the road to Kruger.

    Who owns and uses these calibres

    I took my 9.3 to RSA last April just for the Kudu. I ended up getting a Gemsbok with it as well. Its a CZ550FS.
