" I Dreamed of Africa"...

[MTGunner]

But, never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that I would be returning for my second trip starting tomorrow AM on to South Africa for a 7 day tour and then a 7 day plains game hunt. I hope to take each of the four springbok species, a Red Hartebeast, blue Wildebeast and a Blesbok. This will compliment my Kudu, Gemsbok, Zebra, Impala and Warthog that I took on our 1st trip. I will post a story, pics with some help, upon our return May 20th. MTG

Good luck and shoot straight.

Good luck.I plan to do a plains game bowhunt there in the next 2-3 years.Its a place I just have to see for myself.Problem is, it will probably get in my blood like elk hunting,and we all know those trips cost a pretty penny

Good luck! Shoot straight and often!

Can't wait to here the success stories, someday maybe I will get my first trip there!

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

I was pushing 60 and thought the time had passed for me before I finally got there....it is an opportunity everyone should stretch for!

Can't wait to see some of the pics.The animals you got on your first trip is almost exactly what I'm looking to hunt whenever I get there

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

Five animals with essentially 100% chance of success in RSA or Namibia is cheaper than a guided AZ Elk hunt or a "good" NM land owner tag.....not to mention anything in AK...

 

[mixedbag]

Yeah, I know my odds are high for getting those 5 animals.I plan to bowhunt them in Africa.Just have to make sure I have enough "fun" money saved for the taxidermy and shipping.I'm looking into it for summer of 2012 or 2013

 

[TOM IN TENNESSEE]

GO FOR IT!!
I skipped this year to save money for the ONE I now really want....didn't do any hunting except waterfowl.....but the bucks will be there for May 2012 when I do my Ele hunt in Botswana.....already fired up!!!
