New from Ohio

[James Faulkner]

New here from Northeast Ohio, never hunted outside of Ohio but heading to Africa next year. Created a profile to keep up to date and learn about the area. Looking forward to our hunt!

Thanks for the help!

Welcome to AH James! Where are you heading to for your hunt?

 

[James Faulkner]

Thank you, and heading to Limpopo in November of 2020.

Welcome to the forum. Good hunting in Limpopo. You’ll want to go back a few times.

 

[James Faulkner]

Thanks John,

I hope so, we're excited for it. Your profile mount is actually one of the mounts I was excited about doing. Looks awesome!

Thanks John,

I hope so, we're excited for it. Your profile mount is actually one of the mounts I was excited about doing. Looks awesome!

Those are two Limpopo impala. One taken on a hunt in 2014 with my son. The other taken in 2017 with “She Who Must Be Obeyed” the shield and Spears was from High Veld taxidermy.

High Veld seems to be the popular choice for that area, I'm looking forward to seeing their work in person. Our trip is still a little ways away but after getting on here it's revamped the excitement. Thanks again!

Welcome aboard James. Who did you book with? How many animals are in your package? How long is your hunt? Are you taking your own rifle or renting theirs? Take a look at previous AH posts. They will be a tremendous resource and an invaluable help in planning your hunt?

 

[James Faulkner]

Thank you! We booked with Bayete Group which is the main reason for being here after finding a post about them, there's a few concerns I hope get taken care of. There's four us, our package includes one animal each but we're planning on adding more around 2-3 animals each in total. Nothing dangerous just typical beginners hunt. Our hunt is one week long, we are taking our own rifles mine is a 308, my dad's is a 300 win mag, I'm not sure what the other two are planning to bring. Everyone so far today has been extremely helpful I'm glad I came across this site.

Welcome to AH. Good luck.

James, from the description of your hunt you might be in for a rude awakening. Take a LOOOONG look at the trophy fees for the additional animals. In most places you could get your animal on the first morning of the hunt. The rest of the hunt is on your nickel and it could get expensive very quickly. Take a look at some of the packages being offered by Outfitter Sponsors of AH. I have a feeling you are going to be very surprised.
