    TANZANIA: Has Anyone Hunted With Infinito/Ultimate Tanzania Safaris?

    jpg - I am the hunter right before your trip and leave out on Aug 31, hopefully fully tagged out. I’m terrible at the extensive hunt reports but I will endeavor to do one for the group.

    recommendation for a family hunt (South Africa)

    I've heard lots of positive reports from the sponsors above, but I'll sound like a broken record: I took my family of 5 to Limcroma Safaris and they said it was the best vacation ever. Karen took my kids on all sorts of excursions while I was hunting. Big cat exhibits, elephants, rhinos in...

    Carrying a Big Camera while Hunting?

    Hi all, I’ve been to South Africa twice, both times bow hunting from a blind. Im also big into animal photography. I’m now going to western Tanzania for a Buff/Leopard plus PG hunt (if time). I don’t know what to expect when walking/hunting game. I have an iPhone (smallest) a Nikon P950...

    First time to Africa, looking for help

    If you want spot and stalk with a bow, Marius at KMG Safaris is the man. Great Bowhunting experience. I’ve also done Limcroma and had a great experience Bowhunting there as well. Lots of good recommendations in this thread.

    Photos/ideas of what to do with extra hides/leather

    Gemsbok, sable, blesbok, impala. I be adding my zebra, kudu, bushbuck, springbok, and Nyala. They are high in the wall now but I like your idea of moving them below the shoulder mounts.

    I started a design on my wall with the back skins. And just got my second batch of skins in today, so several more will be added.

    New Bow Policy with South African Airways?

    I just got back from South Africa hunting with my bow and ran into some issues. Issue #1) When I was at the baggage recheck in Joberg (on my way to East London) I explained that my big bow case contained a bow, and not a rifle. The lady asked when I bought my ticket because they have a new...

    Thank you. Yes, its a bit messy right now. On the exterior, I added a french drain to keep water moving in between the main house and the trophy room, then re-sodded everything, and added 7,000# of river rock around the exterior, all of which I did myself. My back was not a fan lol. The...

    Yes, the epoxy naturally fills in and levels itself. There is about 40 minutes of working time before it becomes too sticky to work with. There is definitely an art to working with it.

    WAB, I wanted to do that but ended up not doing it. I had to limit my budget somewhere! I'll have my safe in the closet and will also have a digital locking door to the closet. Not fool proof but might slow someone down.
