Where are you going?
What are you planning to hunt?

Or what kind of questions do you have about hunting in Africa?

Maybe we can answer your questions, learn from your plans or get you hooked up with an outfitter to get you planned for your trip of a lifetime.

Kicking it around but I have an Alaskan brown bear hunt in July. We'll see.

Back to Namibia in April.

Gemsbok, warthog, black wildebeest and would love to add a hyena.

I debated on going after a brown hyena when we went last June, but didn't do a nighthunt.



Have you ever been to Africa yet? Alaska sounds great

Yes, four times 2002 - 2015, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

I’ve been to Africa twice… I must say it was one of my best experiences

The little lady and I are going back to RSA next July for two weeks. It will be our fourth trip all with Chris Troskie, Lephalale area,Limpopo province.
First four days going to Vic. Falls for tour then back for eight days of hunting. The list is roan,eland, giraffe, red hartebeast and bushbuck. I'll be 74 but still do pretty good, probably be our last hoorah.
We have airline tickets booked and planning to take a Win. 70 in .35 Brown Whelen.It spits 250 gr. Nosler Partitions well,need to hit the practice range and get the eye sharpened up!

Yep. Leave for Nam on Jan 26 for two to three months.

Uganda - 2 buff and all plainsgame from 2 regions
Zim - ele

Maybe:

Looking at hippo and croc to Zambia or Zimbabwe.

Or.

Tuskless or non trophy elephant in Zimbabwe.

However, i have some health issues that need to be addressed first before any great plans are finalized.

I have a couple meeting set up for the DSC convention in 24 to discuss the above two hunts.

Then, i have a possible South Africa hunt for some animals that i have not hunted before or have had the chance to take a quality representative trophy. So that is being discussed to match up with either of the above.

Also, considering a return trip to Namibia if the South African part fall down.

This possible will be my last trip to Africa and would like to have a good time.

First trip to RSA in September 24. Bought a safari through local PF chapter. Not sure how good of deal or what not but looking forward to it. Plains game 7 day hunt. Based on trophy fees.

Hoping for Gemsbok, Kudu, impala and blesebuk as well as a day of wing shooting.

Hoping to be able to go again but we have a kid due late march of 24 so pretty thrilled I get this trip

Yup
May trip. Combined Namibia and RSA. Schoenfeld in Namibia with the von Seydlitz family. RSA Kenneth Ball at Shi-Awela. Will go to Botswana if I can work out the details.

Mostly looking for good fun. Unlikely will hunt for buffalo; have taken more than enough. I prefer hunting wildebeest and zebra more than all the other species. Would enjoy chasing some rabbits/hares.

Should split into two trips but the cost of airfare is daunting.

Back to Botswana early Aug for 15-days. That included travel time to/from and 10-full days of hunting.

Have room for maybe 2-3 more to go along.

Had dinner with some friends last night. Looks like we will all be headed over in May of 25. It’ll be my 5th time over so I’ll just be going along to watch others enjoy their first trip. GF wants a kudu BAD and about all I still want is a nice Nyala. GF will probably take a 7/08 or 308 and I’ve got a nice 700 classic in 8x57 I’ll plan on taking.

I haven’t shot the 8x57 much but I’ve got a few boxes of 180tsx that it will hopefully like.

Anyone have any experience with the 200gr Speer hotcores?

Why? Just curious. Working out a trip myself. Thanks.

I have been over there on 23+ trips and have gotten lots of plains game and many buffalo. Have done enough elephant hunting to know that it isn’t for me. There is something truly sad about walking up on a dead elephant.

Wildebeest are very interesting to hunt. I stalk them on foot. They will circle around you to catch your smell. They snort and paw the ground. They are pretty stout and require fine marksmanship. They are not easy to get up on and are a good test of your stalking skills. Hit poorly they will give you a long chase.

Zebra are even tougher to stalk. And they are even tougher to take cleanly. You must be a pretty skilled rifleman to hit them correctly. You won’t believe how they can vanish.

Both are very challenging and always interesting.

In the open red sand country in Namibia I enjoy chasing oryx.

All are good tests of skill.

Still looking for the biggest warthog of all time. Futile but interesting.

I am

RinB, thanks.

I am looking at a PG hunt and am gathering info.

If any of you need an outfitter, just ask one of us and we can find you a solid outfitter im sure between all of our experiences. I have a great guy I would recommend that I hunted with last June or a few more recommendations that I have been in contact at RMEF/SCI functions.


Who are you using? The add-ons are where you get into the money and getting all your trophies shipped. Just a heads up.
