I am thinking of heading to Namibia for a leopard hunt. I've heard flight prices have increased drastically. I would head over in October early November. Any responses are appreciated.

I'm mainly interested in Mozambique to finish this slam. 2022 is the earliest, so any and all operators capable PM me.

I would like thank Craig for such a generous offering. I see there are many entries. Good luck to all but I am feeling "LUCKY"

Well fellas, Wednesday I'm off to Namibia for my third try at leopard. Two males are on bait regularly. Kudu are in full rut and a target animal after leopard is in salt. Baboon and Damara Springbuck will complement my list. Happy Fathers day to you all.

I am looking to purchase a new pair of mountain boots for a Mid-Asian Ibex hunt in Kyrgyzstan this October. I hope to do a Mt. Goat on Kodiak Island next year. I would like input from members for which boot they own. Kenetrek is my first choice as of now. March is our RMEF Banquet and they...

Well, I'm off to New Zealand on Monday, my 2nd trip. First one was May 2015. By priority, Wallaby, Tahr, Chamois are target species. Rabbits, Quail and Paradise Ducks just for fun. My Tahr from 2015 was 12 1/2 yrs. (which is a feather in the hat), petite, skinny and not worthy of a full...

Has anyone else read an article about this? Senate Bill 1487, would ban possession of body parts from elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions and other "Iconic" African species. Story full of misinformation. The start of an all out ban for all African trophies.

To begin 2018's hunting adventures, I will be heading back to New Zealand in May for another Tahr for a lifesize mount. The Tahr I shot in 2015 was 12 1/2 yrs. old, skinny and not suitable for a full mount. Wallabe's which I was not able to hunt the first trip cuz of snow storm. Then likely...

Sorry AH members for such a delay in my hunting reports. Here you have a "TRIFECTA" of African hunt reports for 2016/2017. Enjoy. I dropped down to SA and hunted my lioness with Jacques Spamer with Hartzview Safaris in August 2014 after I finished my first buffalo hunt up in Zimbabwe. I...

Well gents, I make the 3 hour drive from Aberdeen to Sioux Falls SD Monday afternoon. Tuesday 8AM I start another African Dream Adventure. Sioux Falls, Chicago, Washington Dulles, Johannesburg. I spend the night @ Afton Safari Lodge then Wednesday onto Port Elizabeth EC. Safari #10 still has...

Shortly, I'll be off line until my return April 5th. I'm off to Namibia for a Leopard hunt and some Tiny 10's. I haven't done my August Buff/Sable hunt report, so hopefully I can kill two birds with one stone upon my return and satisfy your appetites. Until then, keep safe.

Please post your experience with darting your Rhino and who was the outfitter? With the high cost of actually shooting a Rhino, ($45,000 is the cheapest I've seen) and Vita Darting the new wave of securing another of the Big 5, a client and I are giving the darting some consideration. Even...

Returned Friday for the Labor Day weekend. Now to play catch up in the studio. To whet your appetite, plane is about off the ground in Washington Dulles and a engine fails! More report will follow soon.

August 23rd we're off to Hartzview Safaris. Will post the good, bad and ugly.

For those of you that get NRA's American Hunter magazine, page 26 of the May 2016 issue has a short writing on this story. In March, Namibia's Ministry of Environment and Tourism said it will officially oppose any calls to restrict hunting and export wildlife products. Good news for all parties.

Hot across the wire. Just been informed by Customs agent that 4457's are only valid if signed and dated within 6 months of your hunt. This change only affects Africa trips. I assume more will be coming out on this issue by SCI or some other media. Be watching for it and prepare for your future...

I challenge all members of this awesome forum to become members of Safari Club International. What other organization fights to protect the freedom to hunt around the world? There is a limited time offer for US/Canada/Mexico new members @ $35.00, Regular $65.00. Member Benefits are many...

The African Lion is in danger of up listing to Appendix I. This could mean the end of hunting them. They can be hunted for personal use but, if the US continues to not allow import permits, your trophy room will be missing an African Icon. Hopefully with a positive change in the White House...

Here is the second leg of my recent safari. Enjoy! Roger This hunt report follows on the heels of my Zimbabwe Buffalo Hunt Report. I booked this Lioness/Copper Springbuck hunt with HartzView Hunting Safaris, Jacques Spamer for 4 days. If time allowed, a Sable would be hunted. 3 days is the...

This hunt was booked through Jeff Martinell, dba: Big Game Consultant, Inc. Hunt is with ZimAfrica Wildlife Safaris, Zimbabwe. Six days before leaving the US, we get a e-mail from Rebecca owner of ZimAfrica Safari wanting us to change our flights from Victoria Falls North Camp to Bulawayo South...

Hi All, Sorry I don't get the time to join in on the activities here on AH. I have been very busy in the taxidermy studio so I am not behind when I return from my safari. I'm leaving August 18th for Zimbabwe Buffalo hunt, then stopping in RSA Northwest Province with Jacques with Hartzview...

Thursday, May 15th was to be my departure date to New Zealand. Wednesday the 14th my Dad passes away, suddenly. This is my third hunt in my hunting career that has been canceled due to others health. 2002 the primary hunter who I was to be an observer had to cancel 7 hours prior to departure...

Those darn Sable pictures excited my all over again!! I'll get to the YIPPY part later on. I have been in the cruise (calm) mode for some time waiting for the months to pass by, now those darn Sable pictures. Mid 2012 I booked a NZ Stag/Tahr hunt for May 2014, can't hurry time. Now...

Looking back to the past couple days and the Tootabi Hunting Safaris lashings, I just wonder if it should be Jerome's position to have all outfitters offering hunts on this site to provide their Outfitter number, PH number, Insurance number etc. to the AH community? I know it is our duty to...

Off I go. I'll be back Sept. 6th and try to report in asap. You all take care. Roger _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "A Dream can be relived, again and again in Africa".

I called my Credit Union last week to check on travelers checks. In "010" they told me they may not carry them anymore. They did have SOME but will not reorder when these are gone. So I almost cleaned out their supply, I left the small denominations so I would not have the bulk to carry around...

From being months away to now only two weeks, I'm sure my safari days will go by just as fast. Aug. 15th is fly day from South Dakota. I hunt SA in KZN 7 days for Nyala, Blk. Wildebeest, Bushbuck and ??? Then onto Namibia for Leopard, Hartebeest, Mt. Zebra, Burchell Zebra, Baboon and ...

Explain what was a bad experience, what went wrong or something you just did not like. Let's keep it to African hunting. My first safari to East Cape in 2002, of the 10 animals I shot, I lost a Black Springbuck. It was later found (after i returned home) but not much was left, even the...

Hello All, please provide me with companies you have used for your dip-n-pack. I will do the mounting in the US. The company my outfitter uses is the same one that did my 2010 safari and they took 15 months, this is unacceptable. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

For those of you who have read my situation in a previous thread and cancelling hunts, I will 100% be heading off to the Dark Continent this August. SA Kwazulu Natal first for Nyala and other PG then onto Namibia for Leopard and PG. The Leopard bug started back in 2008 after my second P/G...

Congratulations to Pieter owner of Cruiser Safaris for his accomplishment. I have hunted with Cruisers and also taken a very nice bushbuck, Gold medal SCI as well as a Gold Medal Klipspringer which just missed top ten, Bronze Kudu and Silver Eland. To view the Bushbuck go to...
