Todya was our final day to hunt. Ivan and Mof had arrnaged to hunt a property that was littered with impala. We again left early but there was a different feeling today. After having an amazing day yesterday everyone had a feeling of whatever happens happens. It took us a while to find some...

When we arrived back from krueger we had 4 days left to hunt and the only thing we really wanted to accomplish was to get my son an impala. For two days we walked miles and miles, we sat at water holes and every day saw hundreds of impala but just couldn’t seem to make it work out. I could tell...

We spent the next 4 days at krueger national park which was nothing short of spectacular. More elephants than you could possibly count; lions within 10 feet, African wild dogs, honey badger, leopard we saw absolutely everything we could have imagined with the exception of a rhino.

The next day we went out to try and get dad a kudu. This wasn’t going to be the easiest task. He’s not great at quick or long shots and despite his age he’s a fairly new hunter. He had no intention of sitting in a blind so away we went. We found lots of kudu in the morning but none we could get...

I had been staring at a lechwe mount in the dinning room since we arrived and inquired about the cost. Mof made me a good deal and we were headed for lechwe the next morning. Arrangements were made at a neighbouring lodge and we left around 7:00 with a goal of putting a nice lechwe down and...

Back to more hunting. We returned to Adansonia and the next day decided to focus on Kudu. We travelled to a different property today near the Botswana border so we were up early and lunches were packed. I had been thinking about taking a zebra since before I left but wasn’t sure what to do...

The next day we went to Victoria falls for a few days. Dad has a goal to see the 7 wonders of the world and I think the only one he has left now is Everest. Mof arranged for us to travel with his friend Ron Haywood who runs African Adventures. Amazing man and ram everything flawless. We spent...

Day 3: Our goal for the day was sable. We headed out for the morning allong the river where we knew they were living. As soon as we got there we started walking. Peter, our tracker who was nothing short of incredible, couldn’t find any fresh tracks on our side of the river so we decided to head...

Day 2: We woke up early with plans of my dad and son getting on the board. My son is 11 and this would be his first big game hunt. Dad isn’t a super avid hunter but has come with me yearly since I married his daughter and harvest game most years. The plan for my son was to take the first mature...

As I write this I’m tying on my iPhone in the air from South Africa back to North America so please forgive any poor typing or bad grammar I’ll try my best. Africa has been a dream of mine since before I was a hunter. As a little kid I dreamed about the animals, as I grew up I fell in love...

We are going to be in RSA in august and my father would really like to see Victoria falls. I’m wondering if anyone could provide me some information about things to do and how long we should plan to stay. We will be travelling with 2 children 8 and 11 years old. Just wondering about, places to...

I was literally searching for answers to this question. I just picked up this sako in 375hh and need to find some glass. Previous owner said it loves 270 grain swift aframes. Africa is a year and a bit away for me but I’m going to be ready lol.

Any time other than run off is pretty good. Weather is best in July and August, fishing is fantastic august-November but it was pretty fantastic for us February and March. Runoff usually takes place mid April-beginning of June.

There’s quite a program for them. In bc most of the guides I’ve used have rfid scanners and they scan each fish and record the length girth ect. Any fish that doesn’t Havnt a chip is given one. Populations are pretty good estimated around 40000 mature fish in the river I was fishing if I...

All catch and release but big ones get a photo first.

I’d agree with not being pretty but they are incredible. A 9 foot fish leaping completely out of the water is something else. And there’s not another fish I’ve ever fought that regardless of equipment you can’t overpower. The heaviest hand held rods you can imagine with 200lb test and when they...

Hunting and fishing are my passions, and after 6 months of frozen lakes it was time to find some open water. Fishing sturgeon is something I do a few times a year but this trip was pretty special. Day one we landed 11 fish with the largest just over 8’. Day two we put 17 in the boat with the...

I’m planning to go for a hunt and those are the months I can take time off work, just trying to figure out if I can fit in some fishing too.

If I’m wasting my time fishing for tuna and bill fish that’s fine, that’s what I was trying to figure out with the post. Certainly some sort of fishing must take place during the winter? Some have said bottom fishing is possible, what type of fish would be targeted? I’m not looking to keep...

I’m Canadian we are tough lol. We fish the Pacific Ocean here in the winter well below freezing. This was my afternoon last weekend -27.

What about tiger fishing? Any other fresh water fish that are exciting?

I’m trying to figure out where in the country I want to be and what kind of fish we might be able to target

Still trying to figure out where I’m planning to hunt. I’m willing to travel for the fishing since it will also add up to some time on the beach. I understand this isn’t ideal time for billfish but I’m trying to figure out what’s possible. Tuna? Bottom fish? If we get good weather is going way...

I’ve been doing a lot of research on planning a hunting trip in July or August of 2022. I’m a fishing nut and would like to get some fishing in as well. I understand that this is not the ideal time for fishing deep sea fish but is it possible? Where should I go? Can anyone suggest outfitters? I...

My wife hunts white tail and moose here. My boy would like to hunt something he’s 9 but will be 11 when we travel. My daughter is 6 but will he 8. Investing in my hunting future is exactly what I want to do

A few weeks ago I started digging into my first trip to Africa. Since then I have spoken with so many people and collected so much information but also have so many more questions. We have decided that our whole family is going to do a 3 week trip to RSA in summer of 2022. Im thinking about...

That moose was a long time in the waiting. My property is infested with moose but rarely large ones. I waited a long time to draw a mountain tag, there are only 5 tags in the zone, in an attempt to take a true trophy. Covid tried its best to ruin my hunt but we managed to track dow a very nice...

So much information here already. I’m finding it very interesting that so many have suggested the eastern cape. This is a wonderful start for me to begin my research. What is it about the eastern cape that makes you all think it would be a good fit? I’m definitely not opposed to hunting...

Family Safari Good morning from Canada. I’m looking to plan my first safari in July or august of 2022. I would like to bring my young family with me and I have a lot of questions. Perhaps I’m searching for a ghost but this seems to be the place to help me find it. I’ve been doing some research...
