NAMIBIA: Erongo Lodge 2015 Hunt Report

@Trap 123, thanks for sharing your experiences, I was in the same boat recently. You hunt for years, practice and know your weapon then when you get there, "the wheels fall off"!

I appreicate your honesty and integrity, its tough for a lot of folks to admit they're not perfect - especially on a public forum such as this.

My hats off to you, you are a true Sportsman.
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 funny thing.
 
Congrats on the klipspringer. Wish you had a photo. Expensive little trophy I must say.

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.

Yes, that it a good way to describe the Land Rover experience! This is one of the few pictures I have with Andreas in it. This is right before we had a nasty little encounter with a puff adder.....I hate snakes!

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
