I have booked a buffalo hunt for my two sons and me for this year in Klaserie. 3 hunters / 3 tags. I would love advice/feedback from anyone with experience in Klaserie as to what we can expect and/or lessons learned from your previous trips. We are first timers to Africa and couldn't be any more excited to get to experience this together. Thanks in advance!

Congratulations! Who are you hunting with?
 
You will have a great time. I’m sure Ernest will have all the answers you need, he is a good one.
 
you booked with a great outfitter
 
Are you staying at Thornybush?
 
It’s a great hunt. I took a management bull there in the Klaserie. Lots of lion and elephant and leopard. Saw daytime leopard three times. Lots of buffalo. Challenging to find the right one. If you are in Thornybush, I’d recommend a day or two of game drives before the hunt if you can fit it in. Much better than Kruger or Klaserie for game drives

Awesome! Thank you! Beautiful Bull!
 
My son and I will be with Ernest in August. Have a tag in both Timbavati and Klaserie. The wives have luxury accommodations and will then be in Ernest’s tented camp a few days before we all go to his property for a few more days of hunting PG.
Awesome! No offense but I sure hope there are three fewer Buff in Klaserie after June.. lol. We are doing the PG on his place as well following Klaserie.
 
My wife and I hunted with Ernest in Timbavati and Klaseri, I had an unlimited tag in Klaseria and took a 44.5 inch old monster bull and we harvested 3 management buffalos that we are old and big!! I will be going back again, Ernest is top notch and you will have an amazing trip I am booked again with him for Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Botswana.

Thanks! I was looking at your pictures and the video at his booth at SCI. Amazing trip!

It was unreal and his son Frank puts an amazing video memory together of the trip I highly recommend him as well.

The bull in my avatar is from Klaserie. Kruger genetics are crazy. Prior to hunting Klaserie, I had only hunted in bush camps (Zambia, Botswana, etc.). Klaserie is much more developed than any other area I had hunted. The hunting is great, and there is a huge range of accommodation options, but it is not a bush hunt. The road system is extensive and in great repair, and many of the inholdings have very nice camps. It seems a good option for a first hunt, particularly with the ladies tagging along.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
