Dan also hunted hard all day and just before dark got this nice Gemsbok

That is Nick. He is a heck of a hunter and judging from his photo shoot an aspiring photographer!!!

Day 4 We hunted a property that Marius had seen a nice Kudu the day before. We made our way to our first vantage point overlooking a valley and within 5 minutes a warthog walks out at about 175 yards. Up go the sticks and bang goes the rifle but the shot was too low and hit him in the front leg...

Eastern Cape Kudu that would measure just a hair short of 52in!!

Day 3 was also spent in pursuit of what was becoming my nemesis.With 2 trips under my belt now Kudu have been the most difficult trophy to obtain but man do I love hunting them. I was on the sticks at one point with a nice bull in some thick bush that for the life of me I could not find in the...

Days 2 and 3 would end without anything in the salt for me but were 2 of my best days hunting to date. Day 2 was spent in its entirety chasing a huge Kudu we had seen early in the day to no avail but not for lack of trying!!! This day would also see Dan put down his first African trophy and...

The 308 Norma is very similar to the 300 Win Mag but the neck is a bit longer so I think it handles the heavier bullets a little better. I am shooting 200 gr Accubonds at about 2800 FPS with plenty of room to increase velocity but my load is grouping .810 at 200 yds so I decided to leave well...

This guy showed up under our balcony every night at about 11 o’ clock

We stayed at the A’Zambezi River Lodge.

Zimbabwe

We had a great time there. I’m pretty sure they have what could only be described as bodyguards to look after you in case you spend a little too much money at the bar and decide to try to ride a hippo

Up at 6 o’clock for a light breakfast and off we go. This was my the first trip to Africa for my friend Dan and he was just about ready to come out of his skin!! We were after Kafue Lechwe today and Nick said we were looking for one specific male that had been spotted on a previous hunt. We...

The flight to Port Elizabeth was pleasant and of course anticipation was running high! We were met by a nice older gentleman who helped us through the process of collecting our rifles and gave us a very nice 2 hour ride to Mpunzi Lodge where we would call home for the next ten days. The...

After 3 days in Victoria Falls we went back to Afton for the night and the next morning we collected our rifles and luggage and off to the Eastern Cape we go! When we get to the airport Mr.X asked for our return flight information so he could meet us on our way home to make sure our connection...

We stayed at the A’Zambezi River Lodge. We spent quite a bit of time (and money) here This guy showed up under our balcony every night at about 11 o’ clock

My wife and I, along with another friend booked a 9 day hunt 3 days in Victoria Falls. Our journey from upstate NY began on May 11th. We took the Delta flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg which was of course was not much fun but it got us there quickly. We opted to stay at tha Afton Safari...

I’m really enjoying your report Mike.We really enjoyed sharing the lodge with you and Gina.Looking forward to the rest of your report.

My wife and I along with a friend will be on Delta 200 on May 11 and Delta 201 May 27. We will also be with KMG from the 17 th to the 27th. We are flying into Port Elizabeth instead of New London.

Whenever I heard someone say to do a plainsgame safari before going after dangerous game I always thought what difference does it make what you are shooting. After all shooting is shooting ....right? I'm sure happy that my first shot wasn't at an enraged Buff with a bad attitude. Nerves are a...

Sorry to hear Andreas has passed. I think he was starting to get sick while we were there.As far as the Land Rover.....I'm not sure if he was driving it or it was driving him.

When I sent the deposit for my first safari the bank manager "couldn't find the COUNTRY CODE for Africa [emoji19].......I now use another bank.

1 more.....good luck

I'm with you......I can't imagine why anyone would do business with an outfitter that can't conduct himself any better than that. 100% unprofessional and 100% off my list.

I have been following tbe buildup to your safari and love the enthusiasm.Best of luck fo you,I hope it is all that you dreamed it would be. Cant wait to hear about it. PS..... say hello to the erongo mountains for me...you will probably be able to see them from where you will be.

@billc i love the springbok mounted that way......wish i would have seen it earlier but will definately have my next one mounted that way

DAYS 6-9 Etosha National Park Just some random pictures from the park

Great trophies....I especially like your klipspringer ,he is a real stud and they're a blast to hunt aren't they? I gotta ask ....did you take him with a bow or rifle? Either way he's a great trophy but after hunting them they seem almost impossible to get with a bow to me.

DAY 5 the day began as usual with a breakfast at 7 and a little more light hearted conversation over coffee before we headed off Andreas was to act as our pH again today because we were planning to give the wife a break from hunting and spend the next few days touring Etosha National Park and...

it looks as if you will only be about 50 miles north of where I was I'm pretty sure we drove through that area on our way to Etosha National Park.Its some beautful

DAY 4 please forgive me if I get a bit melancholy here for a moment. I am willing to bet that most of you here feel the same way as I do in that we place a great deal of responsibility on ourselves to the animals that we love to hunt and that we owe them as quick clean and painless a death as...

you are so right I thought I had done everything possible to prepare myself including hundreds of rounds off the sticks shooting from different positions and even running around to make myself breathe heavy and make my heart pound but there is absolutely no way that I know of to prepare for the...

man those pictures get my blood pumping I can't imagine what they do to you when you look at them. who are you hunting with and just out of curiosity what are you using for a rifle?

we were checking the leopard baits periodically while I was there whenever we happened to be fairly close to one and one bait was getting hit fairly regular by what they said was a very large tom. as a matter of fact my Taxidermist is over there hunting him right now but I haven't heard if he...

I think rescuing that little zebra was the highlight of her trip whenever she talks about our trip that is the first thing she mentions. as far as the tracking goes Andreas has made a believer out of me I believe he could track a house cat across dry pavement
