Hunting reports
Africa

My trip to Namibia is finally here. Will be jumping on a plane at JFK, J-burg and over to Windhoek on October 6th. Hunting plains game for 10 days with Kowas safaris. This is my second time hunting with them and I can't wait based on the fantastic time I had with them on my previous hunt. Will send a report after I get back. Good hunting
 
Good luck. I have seen a couple of good reports about them recently. I'm sure that you will have a great time. Looking forward to a report and Pics. Bruce
 
Excitement building! We look forward to the report!
 
What is on the menu for this trip? Are you taking your own rifle(s)?
 
Good luck.
 
Very jealous, looking forward to the report.

I have the following plains game on my wish list: black wildebeest, blesbok, Impala, mtn zebra, warthog, springbok, red hartebeest, and gemsbok. The rifle thing is a long story but I decided to use one of theirs and leave mine at home. I am flying Jet Blue from Dulles to JFK. I found out after booking my flight that JB will only check my rifle to JFK so I have to basically go through the whole TSA thing again at JFK. I learned this out from a fellow AH member who said it was a PITA. We'll see how that goes. In hindsight I should have gone through a travel agent who specializes in dealing with hunters as I did on my last trip.
 
I totally agree with your thoughts on using a travel agent. I would not consider a flight to and from Africa without one. They know what's in the "small print" re. handling of firearms and steer their clients around the pitfalls.

Definitely a lesson learned. You are definitely correct on the small print.
 
Have a great trip Bob! We look forward to seeing some pictures when you return!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike

I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
