Welcome!

I don't want to beat a dead horse but the 30-30 has minimal recoil. If your niece will be using it, this is a good choice for novice or first time users.

If your not wanting a bolt action rifle, my personal choice is a 30-30 lever action. Inside 150 it will handle everything we have. I live in Wasilla and have been in Alaska since the 80's. The 30-30 is inexpensive to to shoot, easy to handle (short), and has a good magazine capacity. JMO.

I would like to thank AH and it's members. The planning stage of this hunt has went so smooth thanks to AH and the great information and comments from it"s members.

The time has arrived. I leave for Africa in the morning. I've been through my checklist four times now. I think I'm ready.

Good luck on your hunt Josh. Velo dog has given you some great advise.

You just got my vote.

I love heart. Probably the best part of any critter. I just prefer to steer clear of the plumbing parts.

Sounds more like a dare than a meal.

After all the helpful comments I have decided to focus on a few of my top choices and take any others as the opportunity permits.

I,m going to focus on the top of my list, but will take others as targets of opportunity. I,ll need to contact my outfitter and travel agent to see about extra time. Thanks again to all for your information and opinions.

Thank you all for the great advise. After hearing your comments I have to agree that I should focus on the first few animals on my list. I want to actually hunt and not drive around to much. It's my first time to Africa and I want it to be perfect. You only get your first time once.

The animals most important are the Giraffe and the Blue and Back wildebeests. Would it be better to focus on these animals and hunt the others as targets of opportunity?

I have just paid my final installment for my June hunt in Namibia. I have made a rough animal list but am wondering if my list is to ambitious. My hunt is only five days and I have allotted funds for fourteen animals. There will be two of us hunting as my son will be hunting with me. I'm not...

Nice buck. Tell your daughter congratulations, and a big thanks to you for passing on the hunting tradition to the next generation.

Congrats on your adventure. Nice animals. I'm hunting with Ozondjahe in June. I sure hope it goes as well as your trip.

Great hunt report. I truly enjoyed it.

Wish I could make it but I'll be working remote until December. Lord knows I could use some pizza and a stiff drink.

Taking my family to Namibia to hunt plains game with Ozondjahe safaris in June 2016.

Muskox is delicious. It is very beef like but with a sweet note to it. Also it is one of the few game meats that is marbled like beef.

To answer your questions Foxi. The moose live weight estimated at around 1100lbs and the muskox was around 650lbs. The mog ran great and is a very capable machine. As for the revolver, I always pack one when in the bush. We did have a grizzly come within 20 meters to camp eating the last of the...

Sorry, I fat fingered the old keyboard. As for the moose hunt. We,(my wife , 13 year old son, and my brother trekked into the Nelchina public use area about 100 miles or so from Anchorage AK. We then used our 4x4's(what we call moose buggies) to trek about 60+ miles into the bush. We established...

You bet Foxi. The muskox hunt started near Wales AK . It was August 1 (opening day). The muskox were in the open tundra about three miles from camp. I had a Polaris ranger 6x6 as my transport. There was no cover as you could tell by the pictures so trying the stealth approach was not an option...

We had a great time. I really enjoy that my wife and son enjoy this almost as much as me. The unimog is my brothers and I have the built up toyota. We are about 60 miles in the interior. It is only 60 miles in but took about 14 hrs to cover it. There are few people that can travel that far in...

Here are some pics of my recent muskox and moose hunts here in alaska. I hunted the muskox near Wales alaska and my moose hunt was in the Nelchina area near Eureka alaska.

Here is a pic of my recent Muskox hunt. Will post more later.

Filled my tag today. Shot a nice shaggy this morning. I'll try to load some pictures soon. I still have a moose tag to fill. If I get one I be set for meat for the year.

I live in Alaska and hunt caribou every year. They are easy to bring down and fun to hunt. I hope you have a great time. Good advise from black dog. Make sure you have the rain gear and bug spray. I am going musk ox hunting in the morning,( opening day). Need some more meat for the freezer. Good...

Have a awesome time , and God speed.

Great pics. I'm going next June and the blue and black are on the top of my list.

Congratulations on some beautiful trophys.

This would be both our animals combined. I'll just hope for the best and plan for the worst.

My list so far consists of Giraffe, Blue Wildebeest, Kudu, Gemsbok, Red hartebeest, and Zebra (Hartmann's Mountain). Is this to ambitious for 5 days? All this discussion is helping a lot. Thanks to everyone.

Sounds exciting. Looking forward to the hunt report. Take lots of pics and shoot straight.

I've been saving my pennies. As long as I can keep the entire trip in the 20k-25k range I'll be happy.

We are planning to hunt around 4-5 animals each. We only have a 5 day hunt booked so I'm not sure if I'm being to optimistic.

Thank you to everyone who responded. Your tips and opinions are most appreciated.

Cape buffalo for sure. There is no substitute.

I am traveling to Namibia in June 2016 with my wife and son. I am looking to harvest a Blue Wildebeest and my son would like a Giraffe. We would like to hunt several more species but want to focus on the first two mentioned. Is this a good way to approach this or do you just wing it and take...

Thanks! I appreciate the info.

Would anyone out there know roughly how much it would cost to have a giraffe hide tanned and shipped to U.S. from Namibia?

Enjoy the site and welcome to AH.

Sounds like an amazing experience. Welcome to AH.

Thanks. Looking forward to learning about hunting in Africa.

Thank you.
