    SOUTH AFRICA: Hunting With GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS In The Eastern Cape

    Wow, I love your story!! Such excitement! Awesome shot and the bullet did its job too. You just have to see how thick the jest is there to appreciate how tough the hunting can be. Thank you for bringing back the wonderful memories I have of my hunt with Wik in 2022.

    Tsetse flies

    Last month when I was in Uganda I kept feeling something in my pants hitting my leg, I thought it was the zipper because my pants were those zip off kind of things. After awhile when I sat down I felt a tsetse fly in my pants, crushed it, then when I looked, this is the blood from one damn...

    2 lion mounts, looking for advice?

    I have the CITES permit for my Dad’s leopard, the auction house who specializes in mounted animals would not touch it, Maryland DNR said it could not be sold nor could it cross the state line to be given to a family member. Perhaps these people are wrong, but my 91 year old mother is following...

    2 lion mounts, looking for advice?

    After my Dad died last year my mom tried disposing of all of his mounts. He had roughly 80 mounts, 20+ were not accepted by the auction house. DNR stopped the sale of his several black bears that he took in Canada because there is now a black bear season in Maryland, where my mom resides. I...

    Victoria Falls After hunt tour

    Lunch on the patio of the Lake Victoria Hotel is a must do, sunset cruise, look for one with fewer people, some have 50-60 people, those are not as good.

    Who's Flying Qatar This Year?

    I just went to Uganda last month on Qatar, first time I had flown with them. I loved their food service, and the Qsuites are quite nice. I enjoyed this airline so much I have booked with them to return to South Africa this September. My flight will be from Dulles to Doha then to JNB. For my...

    Country Rec for Buffalo Hunt w/ Wife

    Having hunted 2 times with Tsala, I can assure you they have proper buffalo hunting, their accommodations are first class, their buffalo herds are self-sustaining, and if you'd like they can take you to a nearby park, and I know you said your wife does not need shopping or a spa, but this would...

    Recommended Ammo for .375 H&H?

    Other than solids, any ammo will work on plains game. While I am used to shooting 300 grain ammo, if you find some 250-260-270, buy what works best in your rifle and go hunting!

    trophy hunt or cull hunt

    Other than having some springbucks sent back in my friend's crate last year I have not had anything mounted in the last 20 years of African hunting. For me, the cost of getting animals mounted can far exceed the actual hunt. I just took a super nice buffalo in Cameroon last year then another...

    Travel to RSA on United Airlines ammo question

    I've flown United many times to Africa, never have I been asked any questions about my ammo. Just put it in a lockable container, inside of your checked luggage, you should be good to go.

    What binoculars do you use while on Safari?

    On my first several safaris I did not take a pair of binos, now that I have learned to do so, you are correct, there are far more things to have binos for than sizing up game from a distance. I'm a big fan of the 8x30/32 size as they are lightweight and you do not really notice you are carrying...

    I’m doing an ‘inventory reduction sale’, I purchased these for my last safari then never took them. Their life with me was spent in the cabinet and a couple of trips out spotting deer from my mobile tree stand. 900.00, I can do Venmo or a certified check. No trades.

    Uganda Outfitter?

    I cannot speak to any comparison from 5 or 10 years ago to today, but I can tell you, there were many days we saw 300-400 buffalo, some days maybe 100, then somedays we would see 1000 to 1700 buffalo. It is my understanding UWS gets around 100 buffalo permits per year, and based on the fact it...

    UGANDA: Uganda Wildlife Systems Buffalo Hunt Report 2024

    Great question, and I do not have that answer. The 3 guides in camp said they called them cape buffalo. And from all of the buffalo I saw, I would say there was no difference in the other cape buffalo I have taken. If I understand it correctly, Nile buffalo have less drop and a more squarish...

    UGANDA: Uganda Wildlife Systems Buffalo Hunt Report 2024

    Hey Bruce, good to hear from you. Here is the list of animals that were available for us to take on this hunt, buffalo, reedbuck, hartebeest, warthog, oribi. There were a number of common duikers, not sure if they had quota. I saw waterbuck, no quota. Two of the six hunters were doing a 4...

    UGANDA: Uganda Wildlife Systems Buffalo Hunt Report 2024

    If you do get the chance to do this hunt, consider doing their ‘group hunt’ option. That occurs in March. If I recall the numbers correctly, by doing the group hunt, I saved 12k over going alone and having my own guide. Most of that is the cost savings of splitting the air charter 6 ways.

    UGANDA: Uganda Wildlife Systems Buffalo Hunt Report 2024

    Yes, I saw 2 elephants at dark one night then a herd of 15 or so one afternoon. While that’s all I saw, the trackers always had elephant dung to burn to help ward off the tsetse flies so there must be more around than any of us saw.
