    Finally getting a shot at an elephant with a bow!!

    I know there are several bow hunters here who have wanted to get their elephant with a bow. Sadly, it hasn't been allowed in South Africa, and Namibia for a long time and more recently Botswana and Zimbabwe took them off the list for bow hunters. Most recently, I heard Mozambique has also...

    Elephant, Hippo with Bow in 2025 or 2026

    I am wanting to complete the Big 5/Dangerous 7 with a bow (as well as most of the other SCI slams). Barring an unforeseen accident, I am turning 53 this year and I don't know how many more years I can pull back an 85lb+ bow. I need to get all the really, really big game down before I get much...

    Considering hunting in Guinea - looking for info

    I have been looking to hunt a forest elephant with a bow and I came across an outfitter that offers jungle hunts in Guinea. After some emails, they say they don't have an issue with me using a bow. That said, I can find very little information on Guinea and most searches end up flooded with...

    Just so proud of my friend and teacher

    So this isn't directly a hunting article, but I wanted to share anyway. I started archery a year and a half ago and soon on, realized I could not teach my kids how to shoot and looked for a coach. It turns out there was a guy in a wheelchair who was missing an arm and a leg but supposedly was...

    Lions - Captive vs. Wild-managed

    I understand what a captive bred lion is. I also understand what a wild lion is. What is a wild-managed lion and where in South Africa would one find wild or wild-managed lions? I have recently hunted a captive bred lion and it was the hunt of a lifetime. I guess now the greenies and anti's...

    Having fun with anti-hunters

    So, I was looking at a Facebook page that was anti-hunting and they had a bunch of the usual anti-hunter comments. I decided to enter the fray where people were complaining about a picture of a lion rug. Comments were like "That is not decorative - it is death on the floor" and "That is...

    Adventure at the Waterhole!!

    Easter came and was good to my youngest. I ordered the Schleich set, Adventure at the Waterhole. I also have been trying to get a nice, broad diversity of animals to populate it and fortunately, the Schleich, CollectA, Papo, Safari Ltd and Mojo Fun are all pretty compatible. I believe we have 26...

    Cape buffalo attacks PH. Son kills it with a KNIFE!!!

    This isn't my video. I will hold my tongue on what I think of the hunter with the 375 H&H that didn't shoot the buffalo killing his PH. I would love to buy a beer for the PH's son though. What a STUD!

    What am I raising?

    Sometimes, I wonder how my 10 year old think the way she does. We have been watching the Terminator TV series and finished the season finale of the first season tonight. There was an FBI raid with SWAT personnel on one of the terminators, which you can imagine how that was going to turn out...

    I just got back from my first ever hunting trip and would like to post a transcript of my journal that I kept while I was there and post some photos.

    First ever hunting video from my first hunting trip

    So I shot a bushbuck that had an abscess at the request of my outfitter who wanted him put down. The bushbuck wandered to about three feet in front of my GoPro session and proceeded to try and drink water for almost 20 minutes, as I had 18 minutes I cut from the video so it wouldn't be so crazy...
