Jealous - when is the trip?
Silver spurs and gold tequila
keep me hanging on.
Pretty girls and old cantinas
give me shelter from the storm.

I'd just like to go and take pics, hunting would cost me way too much $$$. Pics are a lot cheaper to frame then shipping those animals and having them mounted.
Have fun and enjoy!

Good luck and enjoy yourself. You will have a great time.
The Eastern Cape part of South Africa is 100% malaria free!
Looking forward to the pictures and report.

Actually the hunting is fairly cheap... The big expense is getting anything home.

Sweet rig. Hope you have a premium case for it. Joberg airport baggage handlers have a reputation for doing horrible things to rifle cases.

Sweet rig. Hope you have a premium case for it. Joberg airport baggage handlers have a reputation for doing horrible things to rifle cases. Made it .. but had to pay off the rifle guy 40 bucks to get the rifle in. They wrote down HR2 on my serial number instead of HRZ when I sent in my paperwork. Was a little stressful Next time I will put a strike through my "z" The state side guys did not even question that it was a "z"
