I saw this site and thought I would say "Hi!" It appears well organized and reflects a LOT of work!

I am leaving this weekend to go to South Africa for my 2nd hunt with ct-safaris out of Ellisras, Limpopo, South Africa. Chris Troskie and I will be hunting cape buffalo near Malelane, Mpumalango outside of Kuger Park then plains game near Ellisras(Lehalale), Limpopo, then more plains game in the Tuli Block of Botswana! I hunted with them in Limpopo and KwaZuluNatal for plains game last year and got a really nice blue wildebeest and nyala and good zebra, impala, waterbuck and blesbok. We saw a lot of animals and a really wonderful country with hospitable people! Sabina, Chris' wife, is an excellent cook and they are great hunting and travel companions! My wife and I had a wonderful adventure and a successful hunt and are very excited to be going back!

Hi jpj3! Thanks for the kind words, it was a lot of work but well worth it... we have a growing community with lots of great people. Hope to hear back from you when you return as we all enjoy hearing about and seeing pictures from those who have just returned from doing what we are all addicted to! We need our fix? Check out this post "Africa is a drug" I am sure you can relate to it.
 
Hello jpj3, this is a great site with a lot of useful information and some of the nicest and helpful people. Next to Africa, Wyoming is my favorite place to hunt and fish. I am not sure how many times I have hunted there but it is at least a dozen times. Hope your buffalo hunt goes well. Jim
 
Thanks for the welcome! I will be happy to summarize my trip. I will have to learn to post pictures when I'm back!

jpj3 don't hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance posting those pics, I'd be happy to help you.
 
jpj3, Bon Voyage! Oh, I am so envious, but I still hope you have an amazing safari. Be sure to check in when you return and as Jerome said, "give us our fix":o!
 
Have a safe trip and great hunt. I hope to go later this year or 2010.

I am checking out Namibia and Zim for a PG hunt. I have never been and I ain't gettin any younger!

Enjoy your adventure!!!

Sounds like you are going to have a great time and are another victim of african fever. All the best on your next outing and share some photos when you can. Beware bwana, with each hunt, you tend to want something bigger and bolder and before you know it, you are in the tall grass on the trail of something as big as your truck... You will enjoy it immensely

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
