    Pics from my Safari (May 2004)

    I guess I am putting the cart before the horse here. I should post some pics of the lodge we stayed at. Here is the outside of the 4200 Sq Ft lodge we stayed at. Actually this is the "Guest House" of the property owner, his "main house" is 12,000 sq ft in size.

    Pics from my Safari (May 2004)

    OK Oscar, see if I can get this to work, again :) If the picture loads OK this is my Blesbuck I killed on the first day of my Safari in May 2004. To set things up a bit: My PH and myself walked up this hill, about 1/2 mile, and laid down under this lone acatia (sp) tree. It not only shaded us...

    How do I post pictures here?

    Oscar, thanks for the "Welcome Home" :) When you typed DLE I assumed you meant DEL? If thats the case we will never have anything to use (I can hear his remarks already, lmao). I will practice with the advantage button and see if I can figure it out. TY Shaky :)

    Lochi, Thanks, we had a grand time and I plan to go back. I was thinking May of 2006 but it might work out more like May of 2005 - been putting in a lot of hours lately and saving up to go. For 12 days of hunting, $1750 doesn't take a lot of time to save. Tom, I hadn't given any record book...

    Barnes Triple Shock bullets

    Not trying to start any war here but the statement below is not true. In fact the opposite would be true. Less pressure equals less velocity. "You should get a little more velocity than the regular X with the same load but not much." Because there is less pressure one "may" be able to safely...

    Deerking, I knew I would forget some animals. I saw a lot of Kudu as well. To All, The thing with the daily laundry service was sort of funny, to me. Every lodge I was at has a maid. We were told to leave our dirty clothes at the foot of the bed when we left in the morning and the maid...

    Oscar, Unlike a lot of outfitters there isn't any minimum for the animals you decide to take. You could hunt for 10 days and take 3 or 4 animals or 20, the choice is yours. We were NEVER pressured into taking additional animals even though we actually finished hunting in 7 days. I even asked...
