    SOUTH AFRICA: Kikuyu Lodge May 2016

    Thanks for the kind words! My buddies and I would just practice shooting rocks off of sticks out in the desert. The biggest recommendation I have for anyone is know how to use your scope, and be able to find your target quickly by starting out on the lowest power, then adjusting to the highest.

    Any Surprises While On Safari In Africa?

    1. Didn't see many fat people. 2. How good Castle Beer is. 3. How fast and crazy my PH drove. 4. How bad the tick problem is. 5. A pet shooter bush buck name Bucky at the lodge. 6. How short of time spent glassing in one spot (here in Arizona we set up and glass sometimes for 2 hours in...

    I got my mounts back from Karoo Taxidermy. I got them temporarily hung up and am waiting for my trophy/man cave to be built. Very happy with how they turned out.

    NAMIBIA: My Hunt With Frontier Safaris (Barry Burchell Property)

    I just want to say that my PH when I went to South Africa, Jaco Prinsloo and his wife are now the managers & head PH at Frontier in South Africa. They started there about six months ago. I could NEVER imagine Jaco ever treating someone like what is described in this thread. I have posted my...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kikuyu Lodge May 2016

    No I'm not. It's still kind of a sore subject with my wife. Maybe someday I will return, but probably not anytime soon.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kikuyu Lodge May 2016

    My dad Floyd and step-mother Janice had been to South Africa twice, and upon their return the second time in 2014 they said they were going back again in 2016. I had always thought that when my dad started going to Africa, that it would be very special for me to join him on an African Safari...

    My friends Blesbok

    I just returned from SA a week ago, and of all the 30+ animals my Dad and friends took, my buddies Blesbok is the most unique. I knew it was special when my PH was asking the lodge manager about taking it himself. What do you all think of this Blesbok?

    Shots Past 100 Yards

    Personally I like it when the animal does not even know I'm there. You read reports and watch videos all the time where people are being spotted or winded by an animal, and then the person says "will have to go with plan B because they are on to us." Some reports you read guys are chasing game...

    Shots Past 100 Yards

    I like shooting off of these sticks. My dad got this idea from his PH in Africa. I can hit deer size rocks at 850yds shooting off these. I'll be using sticks like this in May.

    All I'm wondering is why didn't Royal address the issue in private?

    SOUTH AFRICA: Tootabi Hunting Safaris What Is The Wounded Policy And Billing Issues

    @hunthardsafaris I don't care that I don't have hundreds of post counts. If it is true what Loodt said, in my opinion Royal isn't a stand up member.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Tootabi Hunting Safaris What Is The Wounded Policy And Billing Issues

    In this case the hunter has never, not once voiced his concern over whether he disputed the fact that he wounded the animal. So he comes on here to dispute it, so the whole world can see it. VERY odd!

    Finest Riflescope?

    Last time I went shooting I hit a deer sized rock, right where I was aiming at. 891 yards with my $750 Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50. Good enough for me!

    Hello from Gilbert, AZ

    Thanks for ALL the warm welcomes! Ya, my dad should be able to help me out with most of my questions, but this site is great for figuring out what my questions are. I love reading the hunt reports. Right now it looks like I want to take a Kudu, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbuck, Impala, and a Warthog...
