Halloween shops that pop up everywhere this time of year will have something for you. But e bay would be my first stop. Someone mentioned onion sacks but oranges and other grocery offerings come in several options if you want to go shopping

I have z5’s on a .300 wm and a 28 nosler. They are both wonderfully accurate and have never failed me. The .300 went with me first time to South Africa and was great. You made a good choice, snuggle up and enjoy!

Blkram-I was supposed to take an eland on my first trip in 2018 but had the opportunity to take a sable for the same price-so the sable came home that trip and eland had to wait. . . Check out the website for game 4 africa. I know they had a spiral horn special that includes your daily fees etc...

Yes, fifty years old. That was one of the goals of the trip was to celebrate that milestone in South African soil. I am planning to got back in three years. I want to hunt buffalo still and there are some species specific to the east cape I would like to hunt-successfully or otherwise. So...

One of the evenings is as my birthday-can’t remember which one now. But they surprised me with a face cake. Wasn’t even expecting a cake nonetheless a personalized one. Wiks wife Brittany keeps the world spinning-there are trackers and skinners and meat cutters and ladies in the kitchen and...

We took time to eat lunch on the edge of a cliff overlooking a broad valley choked by short thick spekboom trees, and heavily throned acacia scrub. Wik, being a ph and a kudu nut and a consummate professional, entertained me by spotting bushbucks ewes or kudu cows. Last nights leftover nyala...

We took the long way in the early morning toward the mountain top where we had seen wildebeests more than once. I think we both knew it would be an easier hunt and wanted to make it last a long time. We drove on a public road through a private game reserve. We saw rhino and elephant and Cape...

By this point I had taken all but a black wildebeest on my list and two of the alternates. We sat and talked about what to do next. I had booked an overnight stay at a local ish game reserve for my wife and myself. And I wanted to visit the butchery Wik and his family own in the nearest town...

While trying to pose that tiny antelope, trying to hide my huge frame and working around my inability to smile on camera, Wik saw our intended target-a lechwe bull. From a thousand yards away I could see it was a bull and he was watching us. I was sure the distraction of the steenbuck had cost...

With the springboks covered in a tarp in back of the land cruiser, we went in search of my other glory trophy. Lechwe. . . Lechwe live on these open plains then tuck away into the brushy bottoms with the pigs and the kudu and sables. Wik kicked some dust in the road. The wind was in our face...

Stalked a steenbok on the drive deeper into the area. I needed him to hold still for two more seconds but he had other engagements to attend to. Found a cool tortoise and got pix of a very cool secretary bird. Far far off we could see a trio of white springboks with a herd of commons. The...

The previous day we had begun the springbok hunting on a different piece of property. When we arrived we found a small group of mixed color animals that were moving away from the vehicle as soon as they saw it. So we got out, hid in some scrub and sent the tracker around the hills to push them...

Common turned out to be the hard one. There were hundreds and they were spooky and could run forever. We blew some stalks, gave up on others and finally sat under the only tree within miles to eat our sandwiches and eat the best July orange ever. Wik is always looking and pointing out these...

Back in the truck and a short drive and Wik spots a single black springbok on a distant hill. I suspect he was in the brushier bottoms when all the others fled and he remained unawares. So we parked out of sight and gained the wind then started a quick walk. He was going back and forth on his...

When I planned the trip I figured for five animals I really wanted. Then I added five that I assumed would be for fun-not really a challenge, just see a lot of game and do some snappy shooting. So the remaining five I added the four color variants of springbok and a black wildebeest. Then I...

We had my main wish list already hanging in the cooler. I wanted to stay and hunt the family property that evening and I had a plan. My brother once commented that the African animal that best suits me is the waterbuck. Wik agreed we could search for a big bull or maybe a second kudu bull if...

Next morning we stayed and hunted the families property. We were searching for eland. The plan here is spot and stalk as you drive to vantage points and look for game. They have kudu all over the place plans we saw duiker, nyala, zebra, waterbuck, impala, warthog and giraffe. And then icing...

Yes I am a lefty, but learned to shoot right handed actions so that’s what feels comfortable to me. Ambidextrous so it doesn’t slow me down any. Cape kudu tend to run shorter in horns than greater kudu found farther north. We knew this was a monster and Wik kindly asked if he could measure it...

Both will expand to full without problems. Shoot the one that gives the best accuracy. I like bigger as they tolerate wind better. No matter what bullet you choose, be responsible as to distance. . .

Archery spike or cow elk tag Muzzleloader mule deer buck tag-can use the rifle a month later if I don’t fill it. 17 year old daughter has a Wyoming rifle deer and a Deseret cow elk tag. We both drew swan this year and fill the gaps in time with upland birds and waterfowl. I have two mule deer...
