So the planning for this hunt started at the SCI show in 2018. The wife and I had been on three Safaris but the last was back in 2011. Twice we had been with Dries Visser who is an archery only outfit. I was interested in a Cape buffalo/ sable combination. We’ve always wanted a longer trip but have twin girls who we didn’t want to be away from that long. The solution? Take them along! Now the question was where else to go. We thought about maybe bidding on something at the auction but after looking at the deals section on here we were interested in PawPrint. Pieter was always fast to respond and we decided to go with his no day fees deal. Stay as many days as you want and pay no observer or hunting fees as long as you shoot 5k in trophies. Sounded to good to be true honestly. Told Pieter besides the wife there would be two twelve year old girls coming along. He said, no problem $100 a day for the wife and the twins are free. Okay. Sign us up! We would leave Oregon the end of July and spend two weeks at PawPrint followed by 10 days at Dries Visser. Are friends who went on are initial trip in 2008 were going to join us on the second leg of the trip at Dries Visser. Should be a blast.
