    African Safari.......The Hunt

    We then headed down a road and spotted some impala about a half mile off of the road. We got out and headed towards them to see if I could get my female impala cull. At about 300 yards we couldn’t get any closer due to all the brush. We found one all by herself and I got onto the sticks and...

    Day three was now here. I thought that I heard that tapping again so I got up and went over and opened up the door to find nobody there, was I going crazy? We were staying local today so we didn’t head out until 7am. We drove some roads down below the lodge seeing a number of different...

    African Safari.......The Hunt

    Here is a little break from the hunting story and pictures. This is my room. A king size bed with a heating pad on top of the mattress. I woke up one night and felt like I was cooking. The lady who turns on the outside and inside light in my room when it gets dark had set it at a low setting...

I dressed and headed into the breakfast...

    African Safari.......The Hunt

    I’ll not bore any of you with the details of the 42 or so hours to get there. Between 4 different flights and layovers in airports it was quite madding to say the least so here goes with the fun part. We landed in Port Elizabeth to be met by 6 or so of the PH’s who would be hunting with us...

    Heading For Africa

    All the animals there will get western real quick if they can move. We had one warthog make it to its den so they pilled sticks and rocks on top of it and came back the next morning. They found the warthog right at the entrance dead. You have to figure that all of these animals are prey...

    Heading For Africa

    The accommodations are 5 star all the way across. The only downfall is their watter supply that comes out of a bore hole or a well to us it has some of the highest metal content that I have ever seen. Everyone uses bottled water or collects rain water for drinking and cooking.

    Heading For Africa

    I took my own rifle a 340 Weatherby. Getting through Dallas was a joke. The airline didn't even know their own regulations.. But it wasn't bad through Johannesburg in South Africa , just their red tape.
