You’ve heard the expression “you can’t get enough of a good thing.” Well I am pretty sure that describes my relationship with KMG and hunting with Marius, as this is my sixth trip to RSA to hunt with KMG. Two years ago I went over to do one of Marius’s famous Cape Buffalo hunts. We decided on...

As some of you might remember from last fall I had the opportunity to take a young lady turkey hunting in the fall along with her father. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/how-has-everyone’s-hunting-season-at-home-been.40816/page-2#post-401978 This spring her twin sister Lily joined us...

I have now completed my fifth hunt with Marius and KMG and as usual I had a fantastic time, I already booked dates for next year! After this many times hunting together it is like going out hunting with family. This includes all the good natured jabs between hunting buddies (more on that later...

My boss recently handed me orders to travel to Argentina on business and of course I can't help but think of the possibilities of maybe squeezing in a Blackbuck hunt. I will be there in early September and was hoping to hunt close to Buenos Aires, as that is where I will be staging from for...

Back from RSA and finally have the time to get in front of the computer and thought i would post up our hunt report: At long last we were finally on our way back to South Africa to hunt with Marius at KMG for our fourth hunt. This time it would be all about dangerous game, namely Hyena and...

This made the mainstream news here in Canada today. I for one am glad we use flashbangs on our airstrips, hate to be looking over my shoulder for a cheetah while on duty! http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/south-african-air-force-cheetahs-wound-officer/ar-AAggt2n?ocid=mailsignoutmd

Paul Kruger rifle has come up advertised for sale by Toronto Firearms Dealer "North Sylva" , although I can't seem to get any more information from the uncooperative website. Never the less a very interesting rifle?

Well, this is the third time we have hunted with Marius at KMG and he once again proved why we keep coming back! We arrived in the Eastern Cape and settled in to the lodge after the customary two day trip from Canada. There was a highlight though; we got bumped up to business class between...

Starting to look at some of the shows for next year, has anyone been to the Western New York show in Hamburg NY? How was it good, bad ugly?

Marius and Kim are currently in the Great White North after having just finished up the Toronto Sportsmen Show. The show went quite well .... Taking a cue from Brickburn about the outfitters never seeing anything but urban areas while attending the shows and not to be outdone we first...

Ok, so last years crate has finally made it in to Montreal ... it was supposed to arrive last wed but came in last night as my Kudu stopped for a couple of days partying in Qatar (actually you just got to love airlines that don't respect shipping schedules). So of course I am now deployed out of...

Just back from my second trip with Marius at KMG Safaris. Once again, I had an outstanding trip and hunt. After a good night’s rest at the lodge and catching up on a year gone by, I arose for the first morning’s hunt and headed out with Louw glassing for Nyala. We quickly spotted a pair of...

Quick question for those of you who are not South African and took a Professional Hunter exam in South Africa. Were you allowed to sit the exam even though you were a non-resident?

For the Canadians on the Forum Just got off the phone with CITES in Gatineau and even though your animal may be listed as a CITES animal (Bontebok) depending on the country of origin you may not need to have an import permit as is the case if importing from RSA. This seems to be a change as...

The planning for this trip commenced a little over a year ago when in the initial process of contemplating a trip to Africa with my better half for hunting I stumbled upon this site. Since then I have received from the forum members much valuable information allowing me to complete my first...

With less than a month to go before our trip to RSA, I thought i would head out to a local farm here in Ontario, Canada and get some hunting practice in. A local farmer had applied for and received tags to cull deer from his property due to crop damage. We happily obliged and set up for a...

Amongst all the bad things going on here in the DRC, one good thing did happen in regards to the war on poaching. An armed group poached a giraffe and were quickly tracked down and engaged in a firefight. Next time they will probably remember to remove the GPS collar, rather than keeping it as...

Thinking about picking up a pair of VORTEX binos 10 x 42, anybody using them? Any opinions, the good,the bad and the ugly.

Fellow Canadians, I have done some research on importing a CITES animal (Bontebok) into Canada and received some great info (Thanks Brickburn) on the forms to be filled out at Environment Canada and it seems to be a relatively easy process, but dealing with the government seldom is easy...

While reading thru some other threads it appears to me that when someone is talking about "East Cape Kudu" they are talking about something different. Is it the same specie or something different?

Hello to all. I recently came across this site while doing some initial research for a possible trip to Africa, and have found it to be very useful and informative. I am a currently serving Army Officer in the Canadian Army and have hunted most of Canada, Texas and France. I will be deploying...
