The Gift of Africa- An Unexpected Hunting Adventure
Sitting in Atlanta waiting to board, let the games begin! Hopefully this 15+ hour flight is the only painful part of the trip. I’ve barely been sleeping the last week so hopefully I’ll be able to crash. Sitting at the gate and ended up talking to some other guys who are on our flight heading to...- KipCarson

The Gift of Africa- An Unexpected Hunting Adventure
Good grief, it’s been a busy week, it’s hard trying to get all the loose ends tied up at work before leaving when your brain checked out and boarded a plane ahead of you days ago! I’m wide awake and can’t sleep so I might as well continue with the narrative. Early on in the process of planning...- KipCarson

Nice blesbok @Salmonchaser, that’s another one they don’t have where I’m going. Was that South Africa? I bet Simms liked having a new personalized wardrobe for sure!- KipCarson

The Gift of Africa- An Unexpected Hunting Adventure
Yeah, it’s hard for me to wrap my head around something the size of a jackrabbit, actually being an antelope. If I ever made a second trip I think I’d try to get a suni or one of the duikers.- KipCarson

All good advice! Cleaning the boots definitely makes sense, but not being in high fence and around no agricultural you think they’d consider that a farm setting?- KipCarson

The Gift of Africa- An Unexpected Hunting Adventure
The outfitter that I’m being sent with is Zambeze Delta Safaris in Mozambique. They operate in Coutada 11 which is part of the Marromeu Complex in eastern Mozambique located on, you guessed it, the Zambeze delta. Coutadas are what they call the hunting concessions in Mozambique, it’s a...- KipCarson

The Gift of Africa- An Unexpected Hunting Adventure
I was nearly 8 years old before my parents ever put a television in the house, (thank you gulf war) and I was in my mid teens before it was ever used for anything other than the nightly news cast. So needless to say, my formative years were not influenced with TV and video games, but were...- KipCarson

Hanging Euro Mounts
The D rings you mentioned are my go to and great for deer size stuff, but I feel they’re lacking for big heavy stuff. I’m personally not a fan of the skull hooker line of products because I think they’re ugly and I don’t want to see the hanger system. My preferred system is the ones sold at Dead...- KipCarson

Recently hunted in South Africa. Anyone want a recap?
Awesome write up! I’ve enjoyed reading through it over the last few hours between projects. I’m glad I found this thread and you included the segment about the JNB airport and Africa Sky situation. I’ll be going through there staying at the same place in July as I overnight on my way to...- KipCarson

Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
I was definitely rooting for him, if anything would cause total heart failure a 230” buck would. For a mortal like me just seeing the numbers of quality bucks he was looking at would push me over the edge! -

Cheapest climbing sticks???
Cheap doesn’t mean low quality and unsafe. If it’s being sold widespread these days it’s most likely it’s been thoroughly vetted by the TMA because of how sue happy everyone is. Don’t feel like you need to spend a mint because it’s perceived to be a safer product. Use it properly as designed and...- KipCarson

Cheapest climbing sticks???
It depends what kind you’re looking for, they’re in a bunch of different styles for a vast array of prices. The cheapest climbing sticks I always find are sold at Wal-mart and occasionally other big box stores after Christmas when they’re trying to get rid of hunting inventory and put things on...- KipCarson

1st archery elk
Congrats on first archery bull! That’s awesome and driving an atv right to it is a game changer! -
Utah Paunsagunt Archery Deer
A 180 is an awesome buck any day anywhere imo. I don’t think I could live with myself if I went home empty handed after passing a 180. From this side of the keyboard I’ll be envious, certainly not typing “why the heck would you shoot such a dink?!” lol good luck! -
My Botswana Adventure!
@Werty Mozambique, I’ve got permits for warthog, Nyala, waterbuck, common reedbuck, chobe bushbuck, and a buffalo lined up. I’d love a kudu but there are none in the part of the Zambezi delta where I’m headed. I’ll do a thread about it all when it gets a little closer, the whole thing came about...- KipCarson
