It has been a long wait since I booked my airline reservations in June 2013. I am making my list and checking it twice or three times or so.

Not sure how many days, but headed to South Africa for the first time in Aug. Good luck to you guys heading over before me. I'm taking my older brother as a non-hunter. I went into the military at 17 and have always been the black sheep of the family. I thought this would be a great way to expose him to that which I live for.

98 days until I'm on the way back to Zimbabwe. Taking my wife, Dad and two daughters on a double buffalo hunt/plains game with a side trip to Vic Falls after the hunting is complete. Can't wait to see the hell those teenage girls are going to rain down on those poor plainsgame species.

Decided on Namibia....to try and satisfy my lust for a mountain zebra, and try for a big kudu bull. I combined these two trophies(will probably wind up throwing in another trophy of some sort while I'm over there) with a 10 animal cull hunt for game such as Oryx, red hartebeest, springbuck, and blue wildebeest. Lot's of hunting and shooting.

120 days for me to head to RSA. Do your self a favor and don't wait as late as I did. I just bought my plane ticket last week and there was darn little to choose from. TIckets on Delta are expensive enough but you want economy comfort. I'm flying Las Vegas, Atlanta, JNS, and didn't get the comfort on the atlanta to JNS section. Got it on the way back but it's going to be an exhausting flight. plus I'll be waiting a good part of the day in Atlanta on the way back to Las Vegas. Just makes a long trip longer. I should have taken care of business earlier. But I am really looking forward to this trip. This is my first time. Hopefully not the last.
