Well Done !!!

Now.... before we can give you some tips and hints, tell us all what your planing to hunt with equipment wise?

Will you be hunting from a combo of tree stand and ground/pit blinds or stalking ?

If I can give you one trip straight off... shoot any animals that give you a shot you can't pass up on over heading there with a list.

Buff, how much foam do you have in the bottom of your backquiver? Was thinking of taking my Catquiver 3 but, didn't want the weight.. So taking a page from your video thought to use a backquiver.  NINE DAYS LEFT!!!!

Study animal pictures that have the vital organs, African game are not like deer. All their vitals set farther into the chest.

Been perusing the book" The Perfect Shot",till my head spins.  5 days till departure!

To tell the truth, I have a small wash rag folded up in the bottom to keep the heads from cutting their way through the bottom.
I have found that if I add a couple of Flu Flu arrows to the mix, the big feathers seem to keep the others from rattling around.


Good luck on your great adventure
