But look at all the great nba basketball players the other countries have generated-

I’ve taken a .30-06, .300 wm, 7mm-08 and a .375 wby to Africa in three trips. I killed the most game with the 7 mm-08 and 150 gr ablr which is not considered a “premium” bullet. I’ve never lost an animal but I did miss 2 or three. And recall please that many of these were taken on video and...

That is one of the craziest things I’ve heard of happening. Hope they will recover well and make it home soon.

the safari culture really caters to hunters AND their spouses. Most places offer side trips or activities for the visiting non hunter. My wife doesn’t hunt but enjoyed the pool and touring nearby towns and especially game parks with lions and elephants etc The park we visited even had a spa...

Second choice is the 300gr tsx . . . Your mtn reedbuck is a heavy old ram, I’ve not shot one yet and he made me drool!

Have the breakfast buffet at the city lodge! Eat an Oma’s crunchie for me- Sorry about the swaro. . .

Wait till you get to your hunting lodge/room. You’ll think you died and went to heaven. They know how to cater to American hunters and their families! Long flight from Atlanta to Joburg. I hope You got Some extra legroom seats!

I have taken my own guns each trip. I book My flights and gun permits through Gracy travel located in Texas and incorporate their employee that literally lives in the airport in Johannesburg. (Bruce) He does all the legwork so the permits are accurate and approved before you ever land in that...

Middle of the kudu rut-should be a great time. Wish I was going back this year. Might be a while but I’ll make it back there eventually- Good luck!

There is a cult like following among long range shooters. I don’t like them and you can add me to the “it failed to open club.”

Very sorry to read this news-
