Title: South Africa 2019 with images
Post by: Bob33 on July 17, 2019, 12:45:54 PM: My son and I recently returned from a trip to South Africa. Our hunt list included an eland, bushbuck, roan, nyala, and impala. We spent a few extra days in Kruger National Park to sightsee.

It was our third trip and our expectations were again exceeded. We brought home many fond memories, and hope that our fortunes may allow to return someday.

The hunting is outstanding, the culture is amazing, and it truly is the trip of a lifetime, all for about the same cost as a guided elk hunt here in the states, I love seeing the photos, they take me immediately back to the dark continent.

I conquer with Ridge. I went last year with my wife for the first time and I am definitely having South Africa withdrawals. I will be going back!!

Post by: hunterofelk on July 28, 2019, 01:30:14 PM: That's some quality photos. Yes, the cost of a safari is low compared to other trips, but the airfare, trophy fees and taxidermy will make your significant other say no.

Understood although you're looking at my taxidermy costs. ;)
