WOW!! are you certain of those numbers on 'average size' for black bears in Prince George being 7+ feet, and some 8 footers yearly ?? That seems more like grizzly sizes to me...I would sure love to see some black bears that size, that is for sure!

My trophies were released from the airport today, I had 12 animals in there, including several CITES animals, primates, pigs, lion claws, several skulls, and had zero issues, and not even a single question or concern. However...I always have all my animals 100% mounted up, boiled out, and...

something else to consider, that I was told when it came time to tip trackers, cooks, housekeepers etc, is that they really have to be tipped in Rand (south Africa), as none of them have bank access, as they do not have bank accounts. Therefore they cannot exchange any funds you give them...

My importer is in Calgary, and does everything I need done, does all the paperwork, customs work, sets up all the inspections I need to have done, and for the $155 that he charges to do it all quickly and smoothly for me, I sure could not be bothered.

another one of us ''canucks'' heading over...maybe I will see you there whitetailnut...LOL

Heading over again May 13 2014

My latest batch of critters arrived in Calgary today, but I always have my taxidermy fully done in SA, so my importer feels there should be no issues at all with clearing my crate in the next 5-6 days. This includes 4 CITES animals, which is a first time for me having CITES animals in my crate...

I do understand what you are saying here, as I live in the medieval times according to my kids, and do not even own a cell phone to this day!! I don't even know how to use one. But that being said, my wife and family worry when I go to Africa and don't contact them. This trip is for 3 weeks, and...

On my upcoming hunt in SA, I will not have access to WIFI for my laptop, ...what are my best and cheapest options for contacting home, and to check my business emails if possible?? I always just used my laptop to email my wife and check my emails, but with no wifi for 3 weeks, I am hoping...

I came up with some different ideas of ''what to do with my hippo''.... HIPPOPOTAMUS STEW 1 med. sized hippo 1 ton salt Pepper to taste 500 bushels potatoes 1000 gals. brown gravy 200 bushels carrots 400 sprigs parsley 2 sm. rabbits (optional) Cut hippo meat into bite sized...

what do you expect for 1 Yen?? two buttons??....hahaha

there are some interesting ideas there....I have floor space, so a floor display of a hippo could work...I found a half mount floor display of a croc coming out of the water too. It just seems a tragedy not to use more of a hippo than just its tusks to me...can anything be made from its skin...

With just 80+ days only remaining until my 2014 Hippo hunt, I still have not found a suitable idea of what to do with my hippo, I obviously do not have room for a full mount, LOL....nor half or even a head mount!! I like the idea of the ivories on a plaque, or maybe just to lay the cleaned full...

Hi there Bossie, we remember you from the Kalahari hunt, as you were a big part of making it a great time over there, and we really enjoyed you and your stories and contributions, thanks again sir! My comment to Chacma safaris was just my thoughts on his question of why he was getting no...

well since everyone was counting the days, I had to count mine...hahaha...at least I have broken the 100 day mark, and am sitting at 95 day only left today...not bad considering I just sent my deposit in a day ago... :) my hunt this round is hippo, crocodile, spotted hyena, steenbok, honey...

we actually open one the day before Christmas Eve, and the rest on Christmas Eve...LOL

That is just the right amount of anticipation for me...patience is for ''the stand'', not for waiting to get to ''the stand''...hahahaha

My hunt begins May 15th, so I don't have long to wait even...and I will be sure to throw together a story and some pictures for everyone, as I enjoy seeing them from others! :)

Thanks everyone for your great offers and quotes...I was able to find the perfect hunt, time, and price. I was very impressed by the number of offers and the amazing temptations. I thank you all... I am looking forward to an awesome hunt with one of this sites PH/outfitter regulars, who made...

maybe this outfitter had an issue with a hunter intentionally missing??...a hunter could get all the benefit of the hunt and stalking, and even taking a shot, day after day, and the outfitter would get nothing but day fees for all his efforts, which the hunter could have ground down to near...

there are some good deals out there right now on British Airways to J'burg...under $1500 or Premium Economy for $2200....this is from my area tho of course, so could be different for others.

I have already spent my kids inheritance, they have been quick to inform me...LOL....thank gawd these places in RSA don't take credit cards too easily....hahaha!! I just tried a ''hunt wanted'' in the forum, so I am hoping this may be interesting...

I am looking for an awesome hippo/crocodile hunt in 2014. I would definitely prefer RSA, mostly due to pricing and no charter flights, however I will consider other places of interest if it is the right situation. A big bonus add on for me, would be a spotted hyena, and some night drives, and...

Another couple of points that may be slowing things down for you, are that you have no reviews on the AH forum, and secondly I cannot seem to find you on PHASA?? Both of these are quite important to most, when checking out a hunting outfitter. Just my opinion...

I went ''hunting'' around the AH forum site, and it looks like you are correct....there is a Hunts WANTED section...so it looks like my great idea has already been discovered...LOL

seeing as how we check AH forum as often as possible, looking for a deal that tweeks our interest enough to jump on it, in the hopes that an outfitter out there can read our minds, and what we are looking for.... why couldn't we flip this scenario around, and put out our ''want list'' on the...

I didn't even get to ask my question....LOL But it does go to show that the right deal will get snapped up fast....its just a matter of seeing this ''right deal''.

From this, I think it would be so much simpler to just find out where Brickburn goes, and just go there.....LOL

looks like time to do a bit of homework then...

PM sent :)

Hi guys...and gals! I am wondering if this is a great deal, that I have been offered,and am considering right now. 8 days hunt, all the usual transfers, food etc....a 13-14 foot crocodile, giraffe, and hippo hunt in RSA...for $15,950 Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, PM me...

I sent you an email regarding this hunt, but as of yet, have not received a reply??...Please check your email, as this offer may be something I would like to take advantage of. Looking forward to hearing from you.

hello Rouann, I sent you an email today too. Regards;

I am beginning to look for a hunt in Namibia this time, in 2014...I have been to SA three times now, and thinking Namibia would be a good next hunt. I have not taken any of the offered animals yet either, but have taken lion and cape buffalo, so I was thinking a bit about trying for my leopard...

Enter me please...Thanks kindly!

A travel consultant may indeed be the best deal most of the time, or if you do not have time to search for yourself, however having plenty of spare time, I was able to save $380 by booking a trip myself, with no difficulty. To me that is worth it, as it is like a free warthog or impala, or...

I agree with you 100% Karoo Wild, but believe me, this is not the case out there unfortunately. It would make a client feel like a client, not just another ''income source''.

I agree that there is a time and place for a cell phone, but I honestly feel that during hunting time, when we are looking for game, that up to 10 calls in 3 hours, and then 75% of the time texting is pretty much a joke. This was from a PH, daily. Also now all the drivers, trackers, etc all have...

hello, I want to throw out a statement, for discussion, and that may help hunters as well as PH's, to have and to give clients a better hunting experience... "cell phone calls and texting is ruining the hunting experience in africa'" this is a big pet peeve of mine, and its happening a large...

I just came back from SA about 9 days ago, and we were there for 16 days. I did not believe that a full moon would have any influence on hunting in Africa whatsoever, but I was very wrong. The closer we got to the full moon, the less animals we were seeing, especially during the morning hunts. I...

yes, this would be in Northern Namibia...I got my brown hyena in North Western Province of SA, just over a week ago, so now the ''spotted'' is on my mind. Cheetah is kind of a bonus, as it is not really an animal I have thought much about, but they are quite spectacular as well, and I would be...

a fair deal is a good thing, but my ancestry dictates I need something to push me over the edge, maybe a free dik dik??....hahahaha

Hi all... I was just offered the following hunt for June 2014, and am looking for some input as to whether this is a good deal or not, so I would appreciate any comments you may have. Thanks kindly!! Is this a good deal??? Package price $18250 Included: 1 hunter 14 days Trophies: -leopard...

Well due to internet problems at Hartzview, our daily reports could not be done, so I will just give a very quick report now that we are home. Chris shot a nice blesbok and springbok, but no warthogs were seen in our time there. I shot a 5.5 inch duiker, a big male lion, 3 jackals, 2 baboons...

So is it possible to import either a brown hyena, or a spotted hyena into Canada??....are they CITES animals??

just two more nights at home for us....Hartzview here we come!!...FINALLY!! Everything packed and ready, and I have no more work between now and departure....its feeling good!
