G'day guys,
Seeing as things seem to be a bit slow on the African forum I was just wanting to read all the preparations & plans those fellow hunters of the dark continent who are taking the rains in their hands and hunting there this year?
I am longing to return to Namibia myself but seeing as I have a black bear hunt booked for June in BC it'll be mid 2015 that will see me stalk the sandy regions of Western Africa again.
Cheers,
ak.
Namibia again for us this coming July. I love that place. We may have an open spot for one if anyone is looking to go in 2014. One guy in our party had to cancel due to work.
South Africa for a cull hunt in July this year
I am videoing a leopard hunt in SA and will be hunting for cape buffalo on my time. Got the heavy longbow back out and ready to do some stalking.
Shoes off for the Buff I bet !

My hands are up. :) Leaving in less than 48 hours for my first Africa adventure. Will be traveling with my good friend Jerry Russell. I keep hearing that once I go I will surely go back. :)
My wife set up a hunt for the two of us at Matlabas Game Hunters, RSA. Looking forward to our hunt, practicing every day.
We just got back from SA a couple weeks ago. It was an awesome trip and can't wait to go back. I should post some stuff when I get caught up.
please post story and pictures!
I'll be trying for this summer if I can get in. Let me know if anyone has some openings in a group as I'd be interested.
