It seems to be protocol to introduce yourself, so since I've been reading for a few months and never posted I guess I'm due. I'm really enjoying all of the knowledge and experience shared here.
I'm mostly a Bow Hunter (at least for big game) these days, but I like my firearms and I do own a couple.
My girlfriend and I went on our first trip to Africa (Limpopo RS) this past July and LOVED it (you're all shocked I know)!
Planning a return trip next year and bringing 2 friends who are First Timers with us.
This year, We had some big winds, a day of huge rains, and a couple of blinds not well suited to shooting a bow, and only 5 days to hunt.
Next year it will be 8 days, and I'm trying to arrange better weather, the better Bow Blind issue has been discussed, and hopefully will be less of an issue as well.
Never got an opportunity at a Gemsbok or a decent Nyala, so ... we'll see what next year brings. I know that the right way is to see what you see, and so I'm going back with a very open mind (and a bigger budget).
