Back to South Africa 2016
« on: March 10, 2016, 05:19:05 AM »


As long as the military doesn't screw me which is very possible (that's why I will be getting out) I should be either going in May or July for Cape Buffalo, Sable, Giraffe, Greater kudu, Nyala, Red Lechwe, and hopefully an impala and warthog. Africa is very Addictive and I love it there which this will be a different experience from the first because it consist of all plains game and the second trip is the more spendy animals and excited to get the Cape buffalo down and Sable too.

Well the military screwed me so I'm now trying for September to give me some time to plan and deal with paperwork to get approval

pretty cool.  What do you do with a giraffe?  A big rug?  I'd imagine even a shoulder mount would be tough unless you have vault ceilings.

This is my big male warthog, a big zebra stallion, and a Tsessabee which are very rare species. Like I have said to people Africa is one of the best places to hunt in my opinion and at least try it one time and if it's not for you then at least you have experienced it

That mount is awesome. Just buy a bigger house and go life size..
