Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Hunt Botswana

My son and I are set for RSA/Limpopo for May '13 and my wife won't even let us talk about it anymore around her!

Have to admit I am worried. There have been early negotiations on wall space.
Let's just say that this is gonna cost me a lot more than an Africa trip!

I know a good taxidermist who can do a full mount pose.

Yes, but in what pose, Peter??????

She'll just put my head on the wall..........right over her new living room ensemble.


But seriously, I have communicated with several individuals who have hunted Kanana and everyone says it's great. Can't wait.

When I booked a flight from here (near DC) to Windhoek, Windhoek was the end stop, with Joburg only being a hub stop,and was the same price as flying to Joburg. Had an indian friend (India indian), who for years, flew into Dulles, then stayed a few days and flew on to LA.. finally got him to understand, book it from Dehli to SF or LA, with a stop over in DC, and will be essentially the same price as just flying to DC,, he's done that the last couple of times now.. you need to look into the pricing. A PH friend in RSA was having folks fly into Port Elizabeth, because it was cheaper for HIM to fly out of there, in country, or some such thing. I told him, I'd check into it, as he is 2 hours closer to East London, than PE.. did and same price from here to either of them. Call the airline direct, or go on line and do "a ticket", to see.. no use spending more than necessary.

If it was for the bank manager then "on the knees" would be a comfortable one. However, for the the diverse audience and for their viewing pleasure, well now, ....if the trophy was extremely old I may be tempted to suggest a casual homo-erectus mount as opposed to a homo-habilis mount or the boringly common homo-sapiens mount.

Have a great hunt and enjoy it a whole lot.

Take her with, she will talk with you about it. Mine still does.

Yeah, best way to overcome any negative thoughts on her part, about the trip, is to take her along. Let her have the experience, and then she'll like it, and you'll have someone besides the son, to share the memories with.

I just recieved a big batch of trail cam pics from Jason @ Kanana and I gotta tell ya that place is insane with game!

I only have about a week before I'll be there & I'm droolin'.

Yes, I will be posting a few of the pictures here in a bit.

Jeff, you are in for a great safari!!

Jeff,
As I mentioned on the prior page, I'll be there in June of next year. Please post a hunt report when you get back. We'd all love to hear about your trip.

NICE!!

That Eland is a tank!

Their Gemsbok are freakin' awesome!

I don't know if I can shoot just one....

I have a nice long list of critters to bag though.

Holy crap!!!! LOTs of nice animals there. And even 3 leopard in one pic.

I gotta say though, that kudu cow with her face in the camera is pretty funny.
