My wife and I are planning a trip to RSA for sightseeing and bowhunting after Christmas. Plans are to arrive on 12/26 in JNB at 4:30 PM and depart JNB on 1/3 that night. My wife has never been and we will both be bowhunting, however, she has several sightseeing adventures she wants to do as 1/2 day trips if possible.

*Jessica the Hippo
*Pet an elephant :)/Rehabilitation Center
*Hot Air Balloon Ride (If possible)
*Kruger National Park

As far as bowhunting, I'd like to focus on buffalo and bushpig. Possibly baboon, steenbok.
She wants to hunt warthog and blue wildebeest. Possibly Impala and bushpig.

**Depending on time we might add more animals.**

We have inquired about this hunt with another outfit but due to our tight schedules, we'd like to get a couple quotes just in case the other doesn't work out. I will be asking how large the area is we will hunt buffalo on. The larger the better when it comes to game fence.
Thanks, Ryan
 
Dec-Jan timeframe is smack in the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere, not the ideal time to hunt in RSA. It can be done, but it will be hot.
 
Not a good time to be hunting Africa. Hot weather, Christmas season & many of the reputable outfitters will be journeying to the US for the hunting shows.
 
Hi Ryan

That is a very short trip with some diverse requests.

As the other members have pointed out, it will not be pleasant to hunt that time of the year due to the heat.
 
Perhaps you could get in some fishing......................FWB

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
