I'll be fortunate once again to fly in Qatar's QSuite business class for our Zimbabwe Safari this July. My youngest son Jasper is graduating HS so the hunt and the plane ride are a bit of a graduation present. After seeing sky high prices for Delta and Qatar I was becoming discouraged about the...

We all enjoyed the 11th annual AH dinner and get together at Gilleys! DSC this year was bittersweet as the convention leaves Texas for 5 years. It was good to catch up with old friends! See y’all in Nashville. Regards Philip

On Christmas Day, after all the gift giving and prime rib eating, we decided to get my 17yo son on sticks with my .375 Ruger barrel (topped with the Z8 1.7-13.3X that we discussed at length in my DG scopes video) on his Blaser R8 Pro S to get ready for our buffalo hunt in Zim. He has shot up all...

Here is a video where I discuss my journey in finding the ultimate DG scope. Bombs away!

August 10-19, 2023 My third trip to the Omay was to be for leopard and possibly buffalo. I would have some companions on this trip which was to make for a fun time. @TOBY458 would be making his second appearance in the Omay and I would have @Rare Breed , Craig Hodnett (AKA the foot terrorist)...

What can I say about my 18th trip to Africa and my 5th hunt with Frontier Safaris? I've been so many places over the years and have hunted with so many quality outfitters. It has always been a good time. However when I have a group of folks wanting to go in their first safari I know there is one...

Hunting Namibia with Frontier Safaris I departed June 6th along with my wife and four other couples for Namibia. We were all booked in to hunt 10 Days with Frontier Safaris on their 130,000 acre Daweb Sud game farm in southern Namibia near Keetmanshoop. It was a very attractive package that the...

We spent the whole week at he SCI Convention in Nashville. We attended all the evening banquets and took in a couple of seminars. I volunteered on the exhibitor and attendee welcome teams and enjoyed that. It was great, as usual, to see our friends from around the world and meet some news ones...

Here is a video I created recently about my hunting suppressors. There are many, many misconceptions about suppressors. There are also many that don't understand the process and don't know of the far superior hunting suppressors on the market now. What has kept you from hunting with a...

I've never taken a really big trophy Whitetail although ive hunted my whole life. After years of intensive management this buck came my way. This is a home raised buck and one ive seen near my home for a few years now,

Trip Report - Zimbabwe & Tanzania 2022 I had organized a group of hunters for a 10 day hunt in Zimbabwe and then fairly last minute for me I booked a hunt in Tanzania as well. It would be another 10 day hunt immediately following the Zimbabwe hunt. This made for an interesting flight itinerary...

After an epic lion hunt in 2016, I knew I would someday return to the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe for another safari. At some point, I decided I would begin planning a return to the Omay and take a few others along with me to share the experience. A safari of this nature does take a bit of...

Here is my latest video with some thoughts to consider as you select an outfitter and plan a safari. This is directed towards a typical plains game safari that you would find in South Africa or Namibia.

Frontier Safaris - Eastern Cape Safari 2022 It has been a real joy for me to organize groups of hunters to join me on safari. Whether it is South Africa, Namibia, or Zimbabwe I have enjoyed bringing others along with me to share this adventure of a lifetime. This hunt has been planned for a...

There are some in my group who would like to bring their favorite bottle to camp. With all the cancellations I find myself, after 15 trips, on a totally new route to Africa! If we are going to hit the duty free shops for a bottle of whiskey, scotch, etc which one should we choose? I would assume...

I have a brief rundown of the various shooting sticks here and discuss their application in preparing for your next safari. I believe shooting and hunting off sticks regularly is the best safari prep a person can do. Regards, Philip PS Checkout how little recoil there is from my Tikka 7mm Mag...
