Great report Mac, I can't wait to get back. Trying to get back in 24'.

Excellent. Thank you for the write up.

Bahhhhaahhh. Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers. This is what I get for posting while in boring office meetings and trying not to day dream. I was referencing and meant to ask if there was a hyperlink to Africa Maximum Safaris. I was being lazy, but found them on Google. Thanks for...

Maybe I spent too much time reading pictures and not enough time reading words. Who were you hunting with? I didn't see you reference the outfit youre with.

It was top notch. I was the first person to stay in it and Nick and his team did an amazing job with it. It was built by the highest of standards. So much so that my wife would love to go, and that is saying something if you knew my wife...

Thank you. You’ve timed it perfectly. We saw soooo many kudu.

Day 10 Hunt day 8 Finishing strong. I hate writing this last report, means my time is over with this little hunting bug I have. The dark continent did not disappoint. It exceeded my every expectation, that in large part to Nick Bowker Hunting and our PH Ben Pringle. Ben did an absolutely...

Day 9 Hunt Day 7 One is a hero and one is a zero. Today started with us feeling the pressure for getting Ty his nyala. We hit a couple of the haunts going back and forth and doing our best to turn one up. Ben, with incredible spotting, located 3 bulls and they were in a great location. One...

I hope I can get these posted. I wish I could write more detail but I'm flat out exhausted and ready to try for some real sleep. Don't judge us for looking tired. Its been a long couple days. We still felt tired after my water buck saga. Wish I could write more but the bed is calling to me.

Day 8 Hunt Day 6 A Day of change. Early this morning we loaded up and headed down to Nick's property to chase Nyala, Impala, springbok, and red hartebeest. I have impala and red hartebeest. We had a blast at the mtn. cabin and made some great memories. Right out of the gate we were on nyala...

Day 7 Hunt Day 5 Redemption for one, humility for the other. The day started us out going to a new area that hadn't seen any pressure for a while. An area that requires a lot of hiking and covers a lot of elevation changes. Just as we had started our drive to the new location we were...

Next week will be next level for you. There are soooo many kudu and the rut is here. Between weather, moon, and rut it should be really good trip.

Day 6 Hunt day 4 A day for getting so close, yet so far away. The last 3 of our 4 animals taken were shot by yours truly. I really started feeling selfish, ok maybe not so much, none the less Ty was up today. We started out by chasing kudu again. As we were driving to one of the spots we saw...

Day 5 Hunt Day 3 Still chasing that elusive kudu. These fair chase free range kudu are no joke and its truly incredible. I love the pursuit of challenging game. My hunting partner Ty will have his chance, we keep getting close. We saw quite a few cows this morning but no shooter bulls. After...

Day 4 Hunt day 2 Not all days can be like the first day. We woke up to cold windy conditions. We headed to an area we hadn't hunted before. As we got to the top it was cold, windy, and there was sporadic precipitation. Less than ideal conditions for chasing Kudu. Our goal at the moment is to...

Day 3 Hunt day 1 Finally!!! After all the travel, planning and dreaming of hunting Africa the day arrived, and it didn't disappoint. In the past I haven't posted my hunts or successes on other forums. Usually I'm hunting public land and don't want people to know or it becomes a massive D...

Day 2 More Travel. Left Afton, which was perfect for our needs and headed to the Eastern Cape. Caught the Airlink Flight to Port Elizabeth. Not quite as much room as the previous flight, to be expected. Was met by our PH Benjamin at the airport and off we went. He's easy to get on with...

I'll try to make these short and sweet, I don't end up reading the real long post. If I don't post these daily I wont end up posting at all. As a kid I dreamed of hunting Africa, never thought in a million years I'd be here. I have a young family and to justify it feels selfish but I'm also...

"hot water comes from a donkey" this had me laughing pretty good.

1- Excellent English skills. I wish our education system in the states were as efficient in teaching other languages as the Scandinavian or Japanese cultures. 2- Excellent report, especially the sacrifice to make it happen.

Educate a new guy. What's the difference?

What was the average Kudu size taken in 22'?

Trophy fees are based on antler weight, not SCI scoring? Is this a standard weight to charge in Romania? All places Ive been charge based on SCI scorable inches. Help me understand.

Great report. Thanks for sharing.

perfect!!!!

Whats left on your "menu"?

I'll be hunting with Nick next April. Can. Not. Wait.

For lack of a better place to post I'm posting here. I'm in need of studies and articles showing the conservation successes that hunters have brought to Africa. Wether it be saving species or shutting down poachers. I'm attempting to educate some rather ignorant people and need viable data...
