Tell me more…I’d love a trip like that
The missus, my best friend, and I hunted there last August, going back for a 2nd trip. Best friend is coming back and maybe his GF, we'll see what that looks like in a couple years; and 3 buddies from work, 2 of them with very little hunting experience.

I think the missus and I are going to do a 10-day 2x1, the rest are doing the 7-day couples' package.
 
Looking at 10 days in 2027 as well.
 
We'll be hunting 21-30 August, staying at Sable Valley.
 
OK, but the zebra that you harvested on the first trip is going to be a pretty tough act to follow! :cool:
 
We will be with them in Sept this year for 10 days. I dont know if I could wait 2 years, you should book another trip for this year and next, Just to get ready ya know.
 
One year wait is bad enough, two years plus would feel like a lifetime. What's on your list to pursue this next trip?
Your zebra from your first trip is gorgeous.
 
We'll take what we can get this time. The missus definitely wants a zebra (she's dying for a pedestal mount), but beyond that - kudu, nyala, eland, gemsbok, red hartebeest, maybe a buffalo or 2. I got the missus the 375 cuz I figure after a couple bigger antelope, she'll decide she wants to do that, too. Otherwise, "my" 280AI was gonna become "her" 280 AI.

I've got some nice gentle loads with for the 375 - 270 gr Hornady at about 2310 fps. Also have a couple boxes of 300 gr TSX if she decides she really wants a buff. I won't tell her about the extra mustard I'm putting behind those, but I probably won't push them over 2400 or so.

Maybe go down to Free State for a day or 2 after black wildebeest and springbok.

Like I said earlier, just going to do a 2x1 this time, hunt what looks good.

Trust me, it hurts not going back this near now I've been once. IDK, may see if I can find a cancellation elk hunt for this September. I get regular email blasts from book your hunt dot com, there's always something.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
