First hunt in Africa!
« on: September 03, 2012, 01:29:50 PM »
Hey all,

I've been gone for a while due to a military deployment, and now that I've finally got access to dependable internet, I've returned. 

I'm working in Africa right now and have taken the opportunity to sniff around for a hunting safari in South Africa.  I'm only able to get away for four days, but I've scheduled with an outfitter for a three day hunt for impala!  If it happens to fall early, adding something else won't be a problem.  I'm pretty stoked.  It took a lot of talking with my wife to ok it, but she finally gave it. 

I can't wait.  Now lets just hope the army doesn't screw it up for me and prohibit me from going...
If you don't stand behind the troops, please feel free to stand in front of us.

Let's see....

Three days hunting Impala, at 4 impala a day...  you should be able to bring home at least a dozen impala! 

I'd mix it up and toss in a zebra, Kudu and a comple other ancilary animals too.  Maybe shoot a couple duikers and make a set of matched book ends!

If you have not hunted Africa before, you have no idea what you are in store for!  Have a great hunt and post your photos!
