It doesn't take much to prompt me to hunt anything anywhere. I didn't draw a deer tag at home this year so was randomly looking for something to do. I read a post of a similar hunt in another forum so started looking into it. I found airfare from aspen my closest airport for only $650 round...

For reference, Best shooting I've ever done off sticks

Rifle used was a supressed blaser r93 in .243 with fixed 8x scope. The high magnification gave me a little problems in close until I got used to it. But a sweet rifle. Also have to comment on the shooting sticks that are more common over there. His are viper flex but several brands...

Just a quick report on the hunt I mentioned in another thread. I did a quick 6 day vacation with a 4 day hunt an hour outside of London. Not a physically demanding hunt in any way but was surprised how hard of a time I had getting my muntjac. Killed a Chinese water deer the first evening then...

Still hunting, Currently in England. Took a week to hunt something new. Got a Chinese water deer yesterday. Still chasing muntjac. Trickier then I expected

City market is at $5.99 I think with the digital coupon this week Jim. I got 30lbs to split for Christmas for my kids. Plus I also had a 20% employee coupon and we had a 1 day 5% senior coupon. Lol Anyway with all the discounts I ended up paying about $90 for the 30lbs.

Harris bipod never comes off my rifle anymore. I have the legs eject model with swivel head. Still frequently carry a tripod trigger stick. I wouldn't have gotten the bull last Sunday without it. About 300 yards downhill trying to clear the oakbrush. If I'm sitting all day somewhere in a...

Last day of 4th season yesterday. Just a little one but haven't killed an elk in over 10 years. Found out I'm not in shape to carry one out alone anymore either. Thank God I was able to get a message out to my son from on top of the hill. Was still an all day job.

Not sure why the warthogs posted twice. Lol I shot 2 of them

Just as an update here on shipping. I should have my animals in about 3 weeks. Shipping from rsa straight to my door once everything clears. I used SSI as a broker. So thier fees, government fees, planned 8 days storage then delivery to my door comes in at about $3500. Including crating...

My grandson 2nd day of second season here in Colorado

I'm booked up there in 2025. I'll have enough points then if the trend continues. Good luck!!

My total cost of this hunt with airfare, tips and all animals hunted was right at 6k per person. I just got an add from an outfitter I know in Texas for a 2 day hunt for 1 wildebeest at 10k.

Like Jim I won't know the shipping for quite some time. But pricing on getting 8 euros done, 2 of them on plaques which might help clearing customs on the Pigs as completed taxidermy without the usda hassle plus 3 tanned hides was $2400

I shot both Pigs at about 40 yards btw. One double lung that went about 75 yards and the other quartering to me that broke the one shoulder and excited the other side. He went about 30 yards

We didn't eat any of our own animals. Like yours they went to market other than 1 whole hartabeest and the guinea fowl being given to our trackers. We did get to eat streaks from roan and Sable while we were there though. Along with some Sable sausage. Although it was all very good meat...

This was supposed to be a one and done hunt but can say with certainty that another will happen. Likely in 2026 but with different animals. I could have taken a kudu this time but wasn't prepared financially for any more extras. Next time will use the same outfitter but in a different area.

My son's animals 1 impala 1 hartabeest 1 wildebeest 1 zebra He wanted a warthog bad but it just didn't work out. I felt bad shooting 2 and actually passing a 3rd bigger one. Lol

Just got back from my first safari and JimP reminded me I needed to post a review over here. This trip was booked 3 years ago and postponed until last week due to covid. I'm not a great writer but will do the best I can with basics. This was a budget plains game safari that was booked for 4...
