Beautiful rifle and a great story to go with it! I too am curious if you had anything done to the buttstock by Mr. Renner.

What type of handguns are you allowed to bring into SA? Only revolvers?

:S Welcome:

Welcome!

Yes I am, but not a life member.

What’s the bad news?

Sounds like a great adventure!

Welcome!

Happy Easter!

Looks like SA is trying to expand the use of its natural resources for economic growth. I'm still reading through the plan and am looking forward to some conversations with my outfitter about this. National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan

Shooting from the truck would be up to you. I had no intention of finally making it to Africa and not stalk the animals. One afternoon, we had spotted a heard of Gemsbok with a particular one we were looking for mixed in. We put on a length stalk using a dry creek bed as cover. The heard was...

Thanks for all the great discussion and suggestions! Building a rifle is a great idea! We would both learn a lot in the process. Next to that, I think going to a shop when she is in town in a must. It would give her a chance to handle different rifles. Luckily we are near Houston, so we...

We did our first safari last June and opted to hire rifles rather than take our own. I'm glad I did as they firearms we used were of excellent quality and it was one less thing to worry about. Next time I go, I will more than likely take a rifle or two as I know more of what to expect during...

Thank you gentlemen for the suggestions. I like the idea of a .308 vs the long action of the 30-06 for her. Definitely something to consider. I ought to let her use my Ruger RSI in .308, but I would need to put a different scope on it. It has a relatively low power Leupold with an...

My daughter has found the joy of hunting this past year and am looking to purchase her a rifle. Her hunting experience is limited to taking an Impala in the Eastern Cape with a 30-06 and a whitetail with a .45 cal muzzleloader. She has also shot a .243 from the bench since then. I offered to...

Repairs and parts would be about impossible I know, but if your going through the trouble you might as well do it in something that will get some attention!

If I went through the trouble of importing a truck to SA, it would be a lifted Dodge 2500 Cummins.

Welcome to a fellow Texan!

Very nice!

My 25 year old daughter has never shown interest in hunting until June of last year. She came to SA with us and decided she wanted to hunt. After a little session on the sticks, she took a beautiful Impala. She recently figured out that muzzleloader season for Whitetail was open and she took...

Will be going back in '25!

Welcome!

I had the pleasure of completing my first safari in South Africa this past June with Doornrivier Safaris in the Eastern Cape. I have dreamed of hunting in Africa for the last 30 years, but never thought it would be possible. (Note to those “thinking” about going: Go!! Save your money and go!) My...

Mine thinks its funny, so I don't mind.

Welcome!

Welcome to AH!

Welcome to AH!

Love the 28ga! Enjoy!

I use the Albright knot for tying braid to fluoro for dropshot rigs. Passes through the guides easily when casting and doesn't get hung up on the spool.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12486695/The-40-deadliest-cities-world-homicide-rate.htmlI found this article interesting. I agree you can't really compare SA to the US, but this is eye opening.

Exactly. I hope to never go through Newark again for that reason and the food in airport is horrible.

Welcome. I was living in North GA when I was your age and dreamed of going to Africa. I finally went this year at 55. (I can't believe I'm that friggin' old!!) Anyway, save you money and go! I have told everyone I have two regrets about my trip. One, I didn't stay longer. Two, I didn't go...

Welcome!

We stayed in City Lodge on our first trip in June. It was easy to get too and the room was good. The breakfast buffet was really good the next. Be prepared for a bunch of guys in vests to swarm you and want to show you how to get to the hotel and carry your bags.

We just returned from a hunt in the Eastern Cape and flew to Johnnesburg, spent the night, then flew to Port Elizabeth the next morning. It was about three hours from our PH's home base to PE vs seven to Cape Town. The next time I go, we plan to fly to Cape Town to avoid the extra flights. We...
