Trophies cleared customs and heading to the tannery. Can't wait! But my pocket book is quivering in the corner begging me to stop

Yes yes of course.



All animals are at the taxidermist, just waiting on my dollars to get started. The ones I am getting done first are- warthog skull, springbok, red hartebeest, and the impala. I'm in the process of moving so I figured better save the big stuff for the new man cave. I can't wait to see them again.

Not to mention I have a chance at a couple gold medals and maybe if I'm lucky a world record on my hartebeest. Thanks for your intrest!




And oh ya I'm going back this time next year, can't stop thinking about it!

Im supposed to be going to S.A. this summer. Im REALLY looking forward to it. Ive spent a lot of time in the horn (Dj) but none down south. Did I mention Im way stoked about it!
Truth be told I dont even hunt but Ive really enjoyed the Capstick, and others books. As luck would have it I built a 375 trued up 700 with a new Shilen barrelbefore I found out about the hunt, so I may take that with me depending on the customs hassle.

customs is a cinch if you pay for the "handlers". They meet you when you get off the plane and grab your bags for you, make the people signing the book hussle, then yell at the custom officers to hurry up, its very surreal but you get in and out in no time.



When I head to the eastern cape you have 2 hours from when you land in Jberg to get on the flight to East London. best $125 (less if you split it with a buddy) I have ever spent.



depending on what you are going after, bring that 375 and a medium caliber with a pretty decent zoom scope on it. My average shot was around 300 meters. and If you want a baboon or jackal they are sometimes 500-700 meters out.

Taking a rifle to SA is no big deal, even less if you pay for a meet/greet service.

AfricaSky is who I used.  Easy peasy.
