The Long Road To Africa

Here is my video from the hunt
Wonderful!!! Remember, if we are honest we all have missed even after practicing for months…but when you are still able to pick yourself up mentally and make the next opportunity successful in Africa that is a dream come true!!!
 
Thanks for sharing I know exactly or very close to what you felt about the lion.
You can watch my lion video if you want on my hunt report.

Absolutely! Going to Africa did nothing to settle my addiction. It only added fuel to the fire and I want to go back! I’d love to watch your lion hunt!
 
Thank you @gcbailey for taking the time to post. A really enjoyable and informative report. Good hunting, sir.
Thank you Slim! Hopefully someone new to Africa can glean something useful and hopefully not make some of the mistakes I did.
 
Well, somehow Gunter came through and found my sable! A client had wounded a Cape buffalo and they got a helicopter to look for it. As they were looking, they found my sable who had died an unfortunately slow death from the wound of my bullet. They measured him yesterday at just under 44 inches for each horn. I hate that it died wounded but am incredibly happy to have recovered it.

Outstanding report! Thanks for taking us along on the whole adventure and for sharing the trials and triumphs of the hunt. Congratulations and well done.
 
Congrats on your hunting. Excellent thread guy.
 
So will the next title be ( the not so long road to my second safari)?

Thank you for sharing your experiences on your safari.

Well, I certainly hope it won't be The Long(er) Road to Africa! :LOL:

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.
