    Average Shot Range in East Cape SA

    I'd say just listing an average shot distance is misleading, the terrain varies so greatly it's all dependent on the situations of each hunt. I've taken 26 animals in the Eastern Cape and my shots have ranged from 5 yards to over 500, most were between 100-300 but there were several right at or...

    this sucks

    I hear ya, I'd never had any issues at all until this year. Everything has always been very easy and way cheaper than hiring a broker to import. This year there was a new supervisor at CBP and he tried numerous times to tell me it was federal law I was required to hire a broker on shipments...

    this sucks

    The individuals placeing the hold are not with the USDA. They are agricluture specialist within CBP. I'm not saying that USDA can't get involved because they can. I'm not certian but I believe this is a farily new "department" or repedative waste of waste of money our goverment is known for...

    this sucks

    I was told something similar by CBP Dept. of Agriculture here in Dallas. I was clearing my own shipment, was all finished taxidermy but I did have 2 warthogs. I kept in touch with them by phone and email and let them know exactly when it landed. They cleared it in less than 24 hours after...

    Favourite quotes - Here's mine, Quite a long list. What's yours?

    “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.”...

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    2020 Ford F-150. Why... it's a basic XLT 4-wheel drive and checked all my boxes and was the cheapest I could find across the brands with similar features. Had a firend drive me 200 miles up to Oklahoma to pick it up. I'm like you in that I usually keep one 10 years or more. I do tend to buy...

    African Spiral Slam & More - Only US$6,950

    I believe in '22 when we took that round trip it was $130 round trip all taxes/fees/etc. Some outfittes do have Gemsbok, price will vary obviously between outfitters I'd say $800-$1,200.

    African Spiral Slam & More - Only US$6,950

    Absolute great offer Wik. If you're a first timer to Africa this is a killer deal, if it’s your second or third trip and you need 1 or more animals to complete your spiral slam the options to substitute other animals in the package is awesome.

    Elk at 688 yards with a 243

    When our progeny no longer enjoy the rights we cherish we'll need but a mirror to find the culprit. Keep tearin em down boys. The anti's don’t know the difference between a .243 and a 50 BMG. The lady made a hell of a shot. For some of those eagle-eyed snipers who jumped to ethics and what is...

    Cotton seed as deer feed/attractant?

    There are a lot of people who use cotton seed. I've looked into it but could never find a place locally to buy it and it be much cheaper than protein. The issues I've heard brought up are, as previously mentioned the gossypol content causing lower sperm counts and the high fat content possibly...

    What is the craziest lengths you have went to in order to pay for a hunt?

    I've always been given a LOT of crap by coworkers who make the same or more than me for hunting in Africa. Two in particular finally got to me one day so I asked them to sit down and calmly walked them through my mathmatical reasoning for how I could afford to do what I do and pay cash for what...

    How far in advance to book a flight to South Africa

    Flight prices vary wildly from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day. On our last trip over I booked 3 first-class round-trip tickets on United from Dallas to Newark to Joberg. As soon as the flight became available to book, I started watching the price daily. For the most part it stayed in...

    Am I being scammed? Import into Toronto

    From what a lot of people are posting I've seen a lot higher...believe one guy was charged $200 a day for storage. I'd definetly look into the broker making a mistake but getting them to own up to it or even pay for it if they admit it is a long shot.
