If you are going to Africa in 2025 what is your planned Archery set up? For 2024 I used a Matthews 29.5 lift. It was an outstanding bow and the best set up I have shot to date. In saying that, I think all manufacturers have improved year over year in what they offer. For my hunts in 2025 I...

We had a great time at SCI again this year. All the vendors we talked to had very positive things to say about the turn out and quality of the people that attended. I am certainly not bashing DSC, but I know it was tough there this year and a couple Outfitters told us they talked to more people...

My current trophys are ready to ship from RSA. It has been a while since I have had a crate shipped from Africa. The last few times I used Coppersmith. Is that still a good choice and I kinds need to make a decision quickly.. Thanks in advance.

I am looking for Honest accurate information on these 3 species as to what is legally allowed to hunt and Import the Animals into the USA. If you do not like hunting these species, or any current methods, this is not the discussion thread for that. This is simply about what is legal, what...

I just saw this posted on The National Geographic site. "Rhino poachers eaten alive by pride of lions in South African game reserve. Staff at a South African reserve found the bloodied head and limbs of at least two poachers who broke in to hunt rhinos."

The anticipation, dreaming, planning and practice for the next safari a year away is as much fun as the safari itself. My bow is by the back door, and I try to step out at least once a day and take a few shots to stay in shape. Although most shots in Africa are under 30 yards, we have targets...

Just a little comparison of a road work sign in the US, and a road work sign I kept passing in South Africa. :LOL:

My Wife & I bow hunted in RSA this June. I have hunted in Africa many times, but this was the first time we hunted with the PH staying with us for the day. I wasn't sure how I was going to like that, as I enjoy the time alone when bowhunting. Our PH Stian Von Wielligh certainly made the trip. He...

This is my view for those that may be thinking about bowhunting in Africa. There are many ways to hunt in Africa and with many different weapons. You can hunt from a truck, spot and stock, drive around until you see something then try to stalk, night hunting with a light, bait, water holes etc...

I have been trying to get my wife to join me in Africa for 30 years. Finally a year ago she agreed to join me on a bowhunting trip. As we planned this trip she kept saying how she wasn't sure she would be able to spend all day out hunting with me, and she certainly didn't want to hunt. She was...

Bushbuck certainly is at the top of my list of African game animals. These things are beautiful, smart and pretty tough little animals. I remember going on 7 safari's before I ever even had the chance to see an adult male, and that was 25 years ago. Back then the area I hunted there wasn't many...

We are looking for a list of great destinations for Bowhunting in South Africa. I started bowhunting in Africa over 30 years ago. We had to take the last few years off due to business and children, but we went back this year and had a very enjoyable time. This was my Wife's first time in Africa...
