don't forget that you got your entry fee/donation into the Joshua Cup as well when you were listing all those things you had done.   I have been looking forward to this hunt since you entered.   Something I have always dreamed about.   I am glad you haven't forgotten us here at Huntwa.   8)  GOODLUCK!

Thank you to all well wishers.

Rasbo- Am going to do a full mount, they do make an awesome mount. Am going to try to harvest some Ptarmigan to incorporate into the mount. Will add an extra special feature.

The gun declaration does have room for 3 firearms. Not sure of the cost yet, but $50.00 would sound reasonable.

Bearpaw- Inflation on a second animal has taken cost from your $1000.00 to a current $6500.00. That's a good start for an African Safari  :chuckle:

Iceman- The outfitter recommends  a 270 or greater. I'm taking my Remington 300 Ultra Mag. Probably a little over gunned. but I shoot it well.

Am going to take lots of pictures and video. And hopefully remember to keep a daily journal.

No, wife doesn't hunt or accompany me on hunt, except when we went to Africa. She just wants me to bring one home. Tags is in reference to the six hunters coming into hunt this time frame.

 :yike:  $6500 for a second animal.....

I think my hunt was $3000 or $3500 and the second bull would have been $1000. I felt guilty spending what the first bull cost at the time and almost backed out before I sent the deposit. It was my wife that said she wanted me to go or I wouldn't have gone. You will have a great adventure, that is the best way to describe it. I don't blame you for not doing the 2nd bull, $6500 will do a lot of things.
