That's good information, Paul, thanks for sharing! I fully intend to go, red tape or not.

Thank you!

Nice shots, TJ! (Great show too, BTW.) Question: was it much of a P.I.T.A. to get your rifles into and out of Australia? I'm seriously considering a water buffalo hunt there, but was considering hiring a rifle rather than buying a .375 here and hauling it over there.

I haven't been to Africa yet but I wear a Tilley Air Flow when I do ultra-marathons in hot weather; the mesh really does provide a measure of cooling, even when I'm running. I will be taking it to SA in '19, in addition to a more stylish one in case the weather or occasion call for it.

What a great, straightforward account of your adventure. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the tip! Do you have any recommendations for jewellers? Not to criticise anyone on the V&A mall, I'm just looking for options.

Ridgewalker, my mounts/rugs will also cost me more than one might expect, as I promised my wife that we'd get her some Tanzanite jewellery while we're doing the "tourist thing" in Cape Town. It's worth it for me to have her come along as an observer, though.

Hi, my apologies for arriving late to the party but I'm a newcomer to the site. I'm booked to go on a trip to SA in May 2019; on my wish list are Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala, Springbuck, Black Wildebeest, Zebra, and Warthog. Should I be so fortunate as to harvest them, my plan is to do pedestal...

Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm looking forward to uploading my report in mid-2019; I can hardly wait.

Hi Dwayne, welcome! I'm a newcomer as well. My wife and I have always dreamt of going to Africa; she had visions of boating down the Nile but she readily agreed to my suggestion that we save up for a 12-day South African safari. She'll be coming along as an observer/photographer during the...

Great video - very informative.

Thank you all for your welcome messages!

Just out of curiosity... how do you change possession of a rifle if the vendor and purchaser are in different countries? If I recall the Canadian rules correctly, I cannot personally import a rifle; if Stalker91 is not licensed to ship to Canada as an authorised vendor, do you use the services...

Thanks, Brickburn! I'll try spot-and-stalk here at home this Spring and Autumn, but I'm really looking forward to my first guided hunt next May. I'm planning to ask lots of questions so that I can apply that insight when I return.

Thanks Aaron - I'd love to go prior to 2019, but my "Lotto 649 retirement plan" hasn't come through yet. :(

We do have tons of black bear in Alberta but hunting them is something that never appealed to me until a year or so ago. I'm pretty clueless about bear hunting, and I would have booked a hunt here in Alberta but I didn't want to give the guide the impression that I booked it just to figure out...

Yes, I'm soooo stoked and I (we) still have 25 months to wait. <sigh> I've hunted the traditional Alberta fare: WT and mule deer, moose, elk, and migratory and upland birds. Black bear are on my wish list. In addition to numerous shotguns and rimfires, I have a 7mm Rem Mag, 350 Rem Mag, 303...

Thank you for your welcome messages! I've booked a 12-day safari with WR Hunting Safaris and I'm looking to harvest a zebra, black wildebeest, impala, kudu, springbuck, and warthog; if opportunity permits I'd love to get a gemsbok as well. I'd like to get as many as possible from a blind with...

Hello fellow hunters, I've joined the forum to get general information on African hunting; I've booked a combination bow/rifle hunt in South Africa for the end of May 2019. This site looks to be a wealth of information and experience - thanks Jerome for setting up and maintaining it! Bill
