I'm staying a few blocks north of you but would be happy to rideshare if it works out for you. Let me now your thoughts.

I may have had an unfortunate situation but my experience with D&L was not a great one. My crate was shipped July 1st of 2022 and at that time there were some MAJOR staff changes that occurred leaving the crate "sitting" for a ridiculous amount of time due to those staffing changes which...

I would love to attend if the invite is available. I am traveling solo from Wisconsin to attend the event so if anyone near the convention center would like to share an Uber let me know. Thanks again for your gracious invite and hospitality!

Payment sent for just me......:cry::LOL::LOL:

Great report! Love the family aspect and getting everyone involved on some aspect.

Anyone attending DSC this year? I fly in Thursday morning and will stay until Sunday afternoon. Looking forward to the show and meeting some new people in the process!

That White Springbok is a STUD!! You can hunt a bunch of days before you get a white one close to that. Great job!

I appreciate your opinion event though we have a difference of them. As far as what my scope is "tuned" to is I sight/zero all my rifles to 100 yards. I had plenty of time to take ranges, adjust scope/gun to dope and settle in to make the shot. The way I prefer to hunt I rarely have issues...

Looking to see if anyone has up to 5 empty ammo boxes for 300 Win Mag. I reload and am looking to see if I can shed some bulk in the suitcase utilizing some manufacture ammo boxes instead of the bulky plastic ones I normally use. Willing to pay for them and shipping if anyone can help me out...

In honor of Cal Pappas - NKWE SAFARIS

GC was a wealth of knowledge about the area! He was an honorary member of our "Tripod" for a few days.

So we flew from MSP (Minneapolis) to JNB. Flight from MSP to EWR (Newark) was fine. Small plane, quick flight, no issues. We had a 6 hour layover that turned into a 9 1/2 hour layover due to the plane not being "ready". Flight from EWR to JNB was flawless once we got off the ground. Great...

Day #11 of the Safari (7-31-2021/8-01-2021; High 74 F – Low 37 F): This morning starts off with me trying to avoid getting out of bed, must be some childish way of avoidance to prolong the trip. I crawl out of bed and in short order, shower, pack, and head to the lodge. We eat a light breakfast...

Day #10 of the Safari (7-30-2021; High 70 F – Low 33 F): Not much planned today as we needed to head into Kimberly for our Covid tests to return to the states. I get up and dressed, head to the lodge to say goodbye to the last couple in camp and enjoy breakfast of eggs, bacon, and sausage links...

Day #9 of the Safari (7-29-2021; High 70 F – Low 31 F): This morning comes a little slow to a few of us for the poor decision we decided to make last night into the early morning. The power to camp is off and we quickly learn that the power provider is performing some peak shaving/maintenance...

Day #8 of the Safari (7-28-2021; High 72 F – Low 39 F): We all get a late start this morning as one of the couples in camp need to head to town for their Covid test for their return flight. We have breakfast of over easy eggs, bacon, sausage links, and toast. Today everyone in camp is going to...

Day #7 of the Safari (7-27-2021; High 67 F – 33 F and windy): This morning starts with heading to the main lodge for breakfast at 7:30 after a shower. Breakfast is scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage links. This morning we head to another property about 45 minuets northwest of here looking for a...

Day #6 of the Safari (7-26-2021; High 66° F – Low 23 F): I awake to the sound of the alarm clock at 6:30 am but didn’t get out of bed until 7:05 am. I reflect on how relaxed I have become here. I am usually the type to be up and working by 0500 and only get 4-5 hours of sleep a night. I also...

Day #5 of the Safari (7-25-2021; High 63 F – Low 28 F): Today started a little later than normal as last nights drinking has us staying in bed a little later than we expected. I was in the main lodge eating breakfast consisting of over easy eggs, toast, bacon, and sausage links by 8:00 am...

I'm not sure a truer statement has been ever spoke to me!

Day #4 of the Safari (7-24-2021; High 61⁰ F - Low 23⁰ F): This morning started out at 6:30 am with a quick shower and then off to the main lodge for breakfast consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon sausage and toast. Others in camp are heading to the diamond mine in Kimberly today so Pieter joins...

Day #3 of the Safari (July 23, 2021; High 52 F – Low 22 F Full Moon): After a good night’s sleep and a shower, the morning started like all of them at the Main Lodge for breakfast. This morning it was scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, and a roasted tomato slice. The plan for this morning is to...

Day # 2 of the Safari (July 22, 2021; High 48F – Low 17 F): This morning started out around 7:00 am with no sleep happening for me until around 4:00 am. We got ready and headed to the main lodge to meet up with Dolf and eat breakfast, Eland omelets and Wildebeest Sausage. After breakfast it...

Day #1 of the Safari (July 21, 2021; High 56 F – Low 23 F): Today started off with a 5:00 am alarm, but it wasn’t needed. Between the rest on the plane and the excitement of what’s to come, sleep did not come easy. After the minimal items we unloaded were gathered and loaded back up, paperwork...
