    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    Shot the rifle yesterday. 2 inch group off a backpack at 100 yards. I felt good about it except that me friend shot a similar group at 100 yards with his crossbow.

    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    A good friend of my wife and I asked if we would like to go on a pheasant hunt at Moi Grande in Michigan. What a great couples weekend. The weekend before the trip, we got my father's 20 gauge shotgun in her hand to shot trap. She did better then myself and the other couple. The trip was a...

    Thanks for all the advice everyone. Now my wife is planning a girls trip to New York so now the heat to buy an expensive diamond May or May not happen. I guess it depends on if a deal is to be had.

    Great ideas Action Bob! I checked out skullhooker and looks like a great product. Who doesn't like powder coated steel? It is really getting hard to shut my mind off at night and I have so long to wait still. By the way, is it feasible to buy a rough diamond while in S.A.? I know the little...

    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    Warthog, impala, springbok, and kudu are at the top of my list. If I am able to save enough money, gemsbok may be on the table as well. What I'm really wrestling with right now is how to have them prepared. Right now I'm tossing around the idea of tanning the hides of the impala and...

    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    My trip has now reached it's next milestone. I have now purchased the flights for my dad and I for our safari. I have been watching flights now twice a day since late May. I was almost about to give up hope and pay the $2,000 price tag airfare seemed to be hovering at for months. Yesterday...

    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    Part three... After setting up my safari and getting my father and I in the books, conversations have been interesting. My neighbor and his wife have been to Africa once, and while having dinner and martinis with them recently they proposed that if they went would my wife go. My wife caved...

    Part two... So a "talk" ensues about family trips now put on hold because of the coming cost of the Africa trip. She has convincing points and the mercury on my guilt-o-meter is beginning to spike. How kids are now not going to get to go to Disney anytime soon and she is right. On our budget...

    Which room was that? I will make sure to get the earliest flight into town so I can pick a different one. I don't want to be the butt of the joke when I hit octaves a grown man shouldn't be reaching. (Arms flailing atop a chair).

    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    Agreed! I once met up with a timber rattler on horseback in Colorado. The horse was about as impressed with the snake as I was. Luckily, I was able to keep the horse calm enough from bolting as a rode it often being a volunteer at the horse ranch. The snake was swiftly dispatched and I...

    BHW, Good luck and have fun on your trip. Make sure to post your trip when you return. I would love here about it. Clear out all the snakes if you would please. Just read the black mamba thread last night on AH. Snakes bring out the estrogen in me. I need to buy a St. Patrick pendant for...

    July 2015 Safari with Hartzview

    Today I thought, hey, with all the thought, effort and day-dreaming, and more thought I've done to date, why not begin my own thread of my own journey. It will help me have all my thoughts in one place as well as possibly help me with input from fellow hunters that weigh in at each step on my...

    Greetings from Michigan, USA

    I found the sight after contacting HartzView to setup my 2015 safari with my father. It has been fun reading the threads people have posted on as the feet of snow and incredibly cold winter finally loosens it grip in Michigan. The threads people have posted about their day to day hunts have...
