After 20 years, I'm going back to South Africa this July. Bought the tickets with Delta back in February. Man, I had a hard time plunking down the money for those hi dollar tickets. This time, I'll have the little lady with me but she won't be pulling a trigger. I think I've got her bribed with a spa and massages. I went to the CBP office at the San Antone airport last week to get my 4457 for my rifle and other stuff, and I'm glad I took my time. The customs guy had zero personality and was just drawing his paycheck. He never even cracked a smile. As I was checking my paperwork, he didn't stamp/sign one of my forms. Got that little oversight corrected. Guess it's par for the course with a govt entity.
We also did the Global Rescue insurance thing before the 1st. Now I'm filling out the SAPS form to send to Henry and then going through my checklist. I have locks and airtags sitting in my Amazon cart. Gotta round up some ammo to start blasting away at targets so I can hit a critter. I can't freakin wait!!
 
Exciting! We look forward to the report!

The missus and I also did our global entry interview in San Antonio on Sunday, week before last. We leave in August.
 
hope you both have a wonderful and safe trip! wish I was going this year but next year will come soon enough
 
Excited for you. Have to wait for June of 25 for my first trip. I guess it gives me more time to save up for those tickets. Dang they are expensive.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth
Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
