Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa MY EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

Great read, thank you very much AFTERUM

Thanks for taking the time in posting your hunt report. I enjoyed the pics of Africa as well. Helps us wanta be there guys to read and see what it is like. Great read. Thank your wife for taking the pics too.

Great writing. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.

This was one of the first stories I read on this forum. Went back again and re-read it today, still is a fantastic read even the second time around.

No kidding! I have been told I look like I am on a chemical high when reliving stories.

Never been to Africa. Probably never will. But after reading your thread I feel like I was there with you.
A heartfelt thank you.

Awesome report AFTERUM.
Truly inspiring!
You definitely had the trip of a lifetime.
I hope to make it over one day (I had an RSA surfing trip in '03 that was incredible... but to hunt Africa would be a dream!)

Did you get any biltong over there?!!

EricM,
Biltong (their form of jerky) is available in every little town and made from all the animals you will hunt (kudu, wildebeest,and even warthog) I ate alot while I was there. Thanks to all for the kind words. I would never have guessed that there would be over 18,000 views. I will go back some day Lord willin'.

25,696 views.....unbelievable

WELL IT HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING POST TO FOLLOW!!!!!!!!!!

You are eloquant, and your honest reporting has the feel of integrity and honour. It is no small wonder there are so many views ans rereads.

Great job. Thanks for sharing!

You did a remarkable job in telling us about a great hunt! I was able to hunt RSA in 2002 & 2003 and have always regretted that I did not take the time to keep a journal and do a better job of photography. The memories will last a life time, and as one forum commentor stated " Africa is like your first love, you will think of her every day" is so true! Thanks again!

For years I've wrestled with the idea of Africa because of the stretch financially, my line of work, and the unmet desires that still exist for me in North America, but this thread has probably enhanced my desire to make a plains game hunt more than anything else I've read in recent memory.

Really outstanding accounting and pictures.

Can I ask a couple of questions? First, with airfare, gratuities, daily rate, and game handling, what would be a reasonable expectation of cost for a comparable hunt?

Second, I'm also an avid bowhunter; would any of you recommend and archery hunt for plains game (assuming I have one shot at this deal in my lifetime), or would you suggest sticking with a rifle hunt?

Also, any of you have experience bird hunting RSA? That is one of my interests too.

I have my first hunt scheduled for next year with Cruiser's. I read your hunt report off of their website, and recognized you through the photos. Thanks for the great stories - it definitely fuels my fire!!

As someone who lives in & hunts in Africa all I can say is this is truly a wonderful account! Well done & hope to have you back this side sooner rather than later!

You will have a wonderful hunt with Cruiser!
