"WINTERSHOEK SAFARIS"

I will try my best. Believe me, I know how lucky I am.

@rinehart0050 Thanks for the great report. It really helps when fellow hunters tell us of their experiences. I can't wait to get there. I will do a report when I return for everyone to read.

I spoke with Charles on the phone & believe him to be a great fellow hunter. For those that don't know, the lion @ the beginning of this thread is the one Charles took while hunting with Johan. I look forward to our meeting up in Pa.

Johan, Look forward to meeting up with you in Pa.

Thanks Johan, deposit on the way.

Johan, I sent you an email this morning. Have you received it? Thanks Jim

:A Too Cool:I can't believe that in two months I will add two more of the big five to my list of hunts. I will hunt elephant in Zimbabwe with Nyamazana, & then join Johan @ Umlilo for my lion hunt. Man the lord sure has smiled down on me...............

Well, I am booked for this hunt & I am so looking forward to it. Now if I can just straighten things out with the airlines, lol......

I am looking it over now, thanks.

email sent...................

I am already going to be in Zimbabwe in March. I will have to think about adding some days to do a Lion hunt. These are fantastic prices.

Good luck selling these hunts. I'll see you for elephant in less than two months. Hopefully we will run into a leopard as well......

That is the way I am planning to do it. Glad to hear your transit went smoothly. Hopefully mine will as well. Good Hunting Jim

Wesheltonj, That is exactly what my plan is, hopefully no problems. Rookhawk, That is the reason for me using the outfitters .458 with a quickfire sight. Sorry to hear how your trip was set back so badly by the S. A. B.S. Thanks to all for the info Jim

Shootist43 I apologize for not making myself clear. I actually will not be bringing my rifle. I will be using the outfitters 458wm for elephant. I did not like the idea of declaring how much cash I was carrying if not staying there. I though perhaps someone else had been through this & could...

Can anyone tell me when traveling through S.A. to Zimbabwe, if you only have a short layover till your flight takes off do you have to clear customs and make all those declarations? I will be going through in March & was hoping to not need to go through all that. Thanks Jim

I seriously doubt mine will be anywhere near as eloquent as Bob's, but I will do my best. I will try to write a few things down each day so I can put them in chronological order.

Amen to that...........

:cool:Bob, Thanks for pointing me to your story. It is one of the best hunt reports I have read. I now feel very confident that I made the right decision to take the Elephant hunt with Wayne. I just hope I can be so lucky to get a bonus Leopard. I know I must start working harder at getting into...

I hope to see a Leopard. I would definitely shoot a good one. Hope for a nice tusker. Hope I can walk as much as I need to. Thanks, really looking forward to it.

Mrpoindexter, are you doing this hunt as well? If so, when are you going? I will be there 3/10 - 3/20.

Wheels, thanks for the info. That is great news. I am doing the hunt. Have my airline tickets already. BTW what did you hunt while there?

Well I have read everything I could on the Canadian import laws and still don't know if it could be done. I guess I will let the taxidermist hold them. I have a commitment for at least two years or perhaps three. Hopefully Trump will fix this soon.

Brickburn, After looking at all the maps, I know nothing, lol.....one seems to think there are lots of flies, the next none at all. I think my eyes are starting to bleed, lol...... I will contact Environment Canada. Perhaps they will allow an American to import there to a Canadian friend, but...

Well I have watched Buzz Carlton's "Hunting the African Elephant" three times. Trying to prepare properly for the hunt. Wondering how bad the tsetse flies will be? One question for anyone who may know, I have a good friend who is Canadian. Do you think it would be possible to have him import my...

I will definitely be on the look out...... that is good news.......

If a Leopard makes the mistake of showing himself, I'll be ready. Wait I'll have to check if CITES allows import from Zimbabwe? I will have to think about other things, not sure what all is available.

Well, looks like I'll have to buy a new rifle since they don't allow handguns for Elephant. Perhaps a .375 Ruger. Can't wait for March to come...........................:cool:

email sent, thanks

I am very interested in this hunt. Tell me Wayne, do you think it would be possible to hold the tusks for me for up to say two years in the hope that the new U.S. administration may change import laws on elephant? Thanks Jim

I wonder what happened to Wayne. He is not returning to this thread.

Well, Doc gave me a clean bill of health, now if I could only see how many days are involved in this hunt?

I still don't see how many days the hunt is for? Please do tell..............

This is a really good deal. I may just do it after I see my Doctor & get hopefully a clean bill of health.

Welcome to AH. This is a good offer fella's. I am a Kimber Master Dealer & I know this to be a deal.

Thanks, Pard...wish I was going..........

James, I have read it twice. I don't see how many days it is for anywhere?

Wonder what he might have thought of the Kimber Talkeetna?

Congratulations on a great hunt. I would like to ask two things, if I may? First was there any problem for importing your Lion? Secondly if permitted, what was the cost? Once again, congrats.

Congrats on a great Safari. For some reason I can't see the pictures. I would love to try a horseback Safari.

Welcome aboard.........good luck hunting

Fabulous Sable deal........somebody is going to really be happy

Yep, the belt was the giveaway.......

Would that be the .500 Wyoming Express cartridge?

I wish I had hit that big Mega-millions jackpot last night. This is my dream hunt.........good luck selling it.

Wish I had an extra 20 grand laying around, but the Mega-millions fell through, lol....Good luck it sounds like a fabulous hunt.

.22 Winchester rimfire

I have a friend who lives in Canada, but I don't think there is any chance of me getting them into the U.S. Damn

.240 magnum rimless, eh
