Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Hahaha I believe Eddy has been fooled before lol

I'll bet!! I would've effed it up lol

One of my bucket list hunts! Congratulations!!!

Holy cow!! Congratulations!!

I saw the green ear tag and immediately thought PA lol very cool rack!!

I just had the skull cleaned and kept a bunch of feathers. I plan to make some kind of feather arrangement with the skull in there somewhere. Also trying to keep the taxidermist bill to a minimum so I could afford to shoot more stuff. It was a cool hunt, I'm glad I did it.

I added an ostrich once I got to the dark continent, just seemed fitting to take an iconic animal like that.

Wow, it sure is perty.

Very cool idea, go for the Jeffrey if that's what you want. Thanks for sharing!

Hahaha that's pretty messed up lol

I totally agree, trucks aren't getting any cheaper so it's worth it to run them til they're dead. That was instrumental in savings for my first safari.

Yeah I have the same luck and I'm anticipating a real headache lol.

I'm using coppersmiths services ( Lenny Fishman NYC) for my first time, he answered his phone every time I called and seems very knowledgeable. He has a local warehouse to minimize airport storage fees. I'm in the beginning stages now, filling out the power of attorney paperwork and stuff. I'm...

I just got word that my mounts are done in south Africa and they're being prepared to ship so I'm definitely waiting for the fuckening to begin today lol

Sounds like a great offer! What size sable are typical?

Awesome, thanks for sharing!!

What can people do with the serial number? Just curious, not trying to give you shit . Thanks.

Welcome to the forum!! Very nice rifle, definitely be getting some interest from the guys on here. Good luck with the sale!

Now checking run out in a barrel makes perfect sense to me, ammo not so much. Especially shooting those kinda ranges.

Dang it lol I thought when I came home to relax I wouldn't be reading about concentricity. I'm a machinist so run out and concentricity comes up a lot, I hate it lol. In my opinion you're not going to see any difference in real hunting situations messing with concentricity.

Reminds me of gates in Texas lol

He looks like a big one, congratulations!!

Very cool!! Yep, same old story about a kid dreaming of hunting the dark continent lol. I completed my first safari last August and I was starting to plan another trip before I was even home. Congratulations on a great trip!! Thanks for sharing the details!!

I agree, I'm only comfortable bringing stuff my ph asked for. Mine wanted a winch for his truck and luckily I had room in my suitcase and was just under the weight limit. The tracker/skinner asked for a couple camo t shirts so I left a few.

Good for a laugh at the time but someone probably has had to deal with that bear that associates people with food . Dumbasses for sure.

Crazy to imagine a hyena dragging a bone back to its den and then the same hyena allowing a porcupine to gnaw on it. Meanwhile the wart hogs are snoring in the room next door.....

I went to Limpopo last August, same deal then. Definitely more of an irritation than anything else. I think it was out once because of an actual equipment failure too. TIA

Wow, that's pretty cool, thanks for sharing!! Team work makes the dream work I guess lol

I used ripcord but my travel agency ( Gracy) said they haven't been paying claims much since Covid. I never needed it so I have no idea if that's true.

Welcome to the forum!!

Right!! I don't know where the misconception came from but I've had three or four people ask me if we just take the hide and skull and leave the rest to rot. Letting the meat rot on their biyearly elk hunt would be unthinkable ( if the hunt produced any meat) but they really think ph's in Africa...

Yep, common jealousy is exactly right. And ignorance to the fact that my safari wss probably less money than their " out west" elk hunt . Not giving a shit is probably the best policy for these people. They're not interested in reeducation. I'll go on planning my next hunt of a lifetime.

I had the same situation, got back from my first safari last August and my buddy posted my pictures and stuff on Facebook ( I'm not on Facebook) and I had a lot of idiots tell me the " must be nice " bit and one dumb ass told my mother at a friends birthday party that he would never go to Africa...

Yes , looks like its $1800 for the kudu and $1925 for day fees for a seven day hunt.

That's great, best forum ever!!

Welcome to the forum!! This is definitely a treasure trove of information!!

Wow, I was told Limpopo in the winter months were malaria free. I went in August and stayed right on the bank of the crocodile river , there were swarms of bugs around the light outside my tent at night. I'm taking meds next time.

Welcome to the forum!!

Nice to know they got busted!!

All sounds like good information, thanks for sharing. I hunted in Limpopo last August and had a great time. I decided before I went I'd probably not want my normal rifle sling because of the "walk and stalk" nature of the hunt and it made using my 4 stable sticks much easier. Thanks for sharing!!

Wow that sounds like a great adventure!!! Thanks for bringing us along!

I think you hit the nail on the head!!

That would be a great opportunity for an awesome hunt!!

Can't wait to read more!!

Good grief, is that the biggest ever? It sure looks like it to me!! Crazy!!!

Sounds like a great hunt!! Thank you for sharing!! Glad you are okay, you never know what's gonna happen. Hopefully it never happens again!

Welcome to the forum!! Can't go wrong with the 30.06!

If time and money were no object , I'd say open sights all the way. If you're a working man like myself just trying to save enough each month to do a once or twice in a lifetime hunt, I'd be taking a scoped rifle. Even a straight 2x or something would be quite an advantage. Just my two cents...
