Hi All, I am an outdoor writer. I wanted to hunt Africa in 2020 but we know how that turned out. Crazy times for sure. I am looking for a good deal for a real trophy bow hunt. Fly fishing on the ranch is a plus. I have heard some have dams with real trophies living beneath. (Would...

Hi All, I hope this finds everyone safe and sound during these strange days. I just want to post that my new book, The Zen of Home Water, will be released by Skyhorse Publishing on October 6th. It is available for pre-order. It would be cool if you ordered it from a small shop. They...

Hi All, I am wondering how much would it cost to do a full standing mount of a golden wildebeest. It doesn't have to be exact, a ballpark figure is good enough. I am planning a trip. Most folks overlook the cost of after the hunt. While exciting can run into some serious money. It...

Hi all, I think that the Golden Wildebeest is a very attractive trophy. I have the ducats all lined up. I guess for me that is the second hardest part. The hardest part is deciding who to go with. I am looking for a bow hunt. I am looking for the best possible trophy...

Hi All, I have bow hunted Africa three times in the past five years. Not tons of experience, but some. All three trips were in Limpopo. I understand that it is excellent country and that many bow outfitters are based there. My question is what other regions are good and what are...

Hi, I know this may sound a bit shallow but to me it's not. I am looking for a bow hunt where I have a chance to make the book. I am a recent cancer survivor and have not hunted in several years. It was very hard but we fight the battles we have to. I have hunted Africa several times...

Hi, I am looking for a real monster to hunt . I would like an outfitter who has good bow experience. I want a plains game species that is special. A shot at the books as it were. I know this is asking a lot. If you don't ask it can't happen. So if you have that red hartebeest, or...

Hi All, I am looking to write a story about an outfitted adventure in RSA. I am looking for a place with good fly fishing. I have heard that there are ranches with very special trout waters below property dams. To add to the possibilities I am also looking for a monster trophy. It...

Hi I am looking for a once in a lifetime trophy with my bow. If you tell me you have a monster blesbok , great. A killer red hartebeest, wonderful. A bitchin Gnu , I can't wait. It can be any plains game. Please message me if you have something that fills the bill. thanks-Jerry

Hi all, In my quest for writing material I am wondering. Is there a special animal on your concession. Some beast that has a quality that would make it a quest worthy of a story. It can be monstrous and large. It can be so different (color or composition) that would be so...

Hi All, I can remember someone telling me about a concession where there was fine trout fishing below the dams on the property. I cannot for the life of me find or remember the name. If any of you can help it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks-Jerry

Hi All, I am pretty excited as I leave for RSA on April the 10th to celebrate my 50th with a bow hunt. I understand the Limpopo area has been dry. If any of you are in the area and can update that would be great. I am taking my Mathews Heli M (my new love , what a back wall!) set at...

The Coke's Hartebeest seems like a cool animal. Wonder if they are hunted. Where and how much. thanks-Jerry

I have an older Nikon range finder that I love but I need a second one . I have been looking at them and there are so many choices. I could use a good recommendation. I understand that there are some that are better for the bow. thanks-Jerry

It seems that a free range sable was shot in Texas this week. The initial response is that it must be an escaped exotic. None were reported and the nearest high fence seems to be about 50 miles away. Quite a trophy for free. Is there a wild breeding population?Strange but true.

Hi all, Mulling things over I have decide to try bow hunting a cape buffalo cow. I chose a cow as it fits my budget. With 2 daughters in college the bull will have to wait. I got a quote of $3900.00 with someone I trust. I think that is a good deal. That is my first question , is it...

I just don't get it . I look and these things are 2 to 3x the price of a Gemsbok(not the Gemsbok they are to me some of the most beautiful that's the point) and so much uglier. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and even the warthog has it's charm but at a way lower price. We all...

HI All, I am turning 50 in April. I am a recent cancer survivor so it means a tad more. I am coming to Africa to bow hunt. The question is where? I really need a good outfit for a blind oriented hunt. I understand that some parts of Africa are not great bow hunting at this time...

A man boards the train and looks for his seat. Upon finding his seat there is a gentleman in the seat next to his. As they look at each other they begin to laugh as they notice the other has the identical black eye. As he sits down he turns to the other gentleman an says "That is quite a shiner...

Hi All, I did get a nice gemsbok with my bow last June 39.5 and 40.5 respectively.I just really like them I think they are very striking. I am grateful for such a beautiful trophy.It almost feels wrong to want more. Having said that where in Africa do they grow them big? Am I not being...

Hi All, I just booked a bow hunt in RSA from June 8-14. Those dates were chosen because "it is a good time for bow hunting. " I do understand that dry conditions increases waterhole activity. That is not my question. I am hoping to sneak off in April (my 50th birthday on the 13th)...

Hi All, In the back of my mind plays out this Cape Buffalo bow hunt fantasy. I have some questions that some of the "grizzled" African hunters could answer. Is it something a reasonably sound bow hunter can do with a reasonable expectation of success? Is it thrilling? Is there a way...

Hi here are some photos. The first photo is of a black mamba that was in the blind one morning. It was better than coffee. I had the jitters all day! The Eland was big. The gemsbok is 39.5 amd 40.5 respectively. -Jerry

Hi All, We all read about the magic 60" Kudu. I have never seen anything close. I don't know anyone who has. A few nice 55's and 56's but not 60". Can anyone say they have seen a verifiable 60 in recent time? thanks-Jerry

I am looking for that one trophy to be the centerpiece of my library. I know everything is relative. I have some great trophies but I want one to be the centerpiece of the room. I bow hunt so that matters. Usually I am not a SCI guy but this will be the exception. thanks-Jerry

Hi All, Tell me about the monster that haunts your concession. I want to know all about Kuduzilla. If you have photos even better. He should live and be vunerable to my silver broadhead and garlic necklace. :tongue: thanks-Jerry

Hi All, Why are sable so expensive? Are they hard to breed? just wondering. thanks-Jerry

Hi All, Just got my wife started in bow hunting. We are in our 50's so she is late to the game. Better late then never I say. She has not fired an arrow at a living thing yet. Does anyone have a husband/wife bow hunting package or a grizzled veteran/cute newbie package? thanks-Jerry

Hi All, I love bow hunting and hunted RSA last May. I loved it. I was looking forward to the Harrisburg show to book a bowhunt for this year. I am looking for a good package. In my mind a moster Kudu would be nice. I am flexible with my schedule if that helps. thanks-Jerry
