Beautiful words, And I couldn’t agree more. Every day I walk into my family room and see my mounts on the wall, I get happy and sad. Happy because I’ve been to Africa. Sad, because I’m not there. I’m heading to the Eastern Cape in June, and talk about being anxious :ROFLMAO:

Beautiful pipes. I’m a cigar smoker, and have been getting more and more into pipe smoking. (y)

Oh man, bummer you didn't connect. Thanks for your honest report. (y) Do you mind sharing, your rifle, load, boots, anything that could help us who have not done an ele hunt. Thank you!

Thank you! I'll have to say that your dad did a wonderful job getting you into photography. You also have to have a talent to see and capture nature's beauty, not just point and snap a picture. Yes, too bad you didn't have a good camera with you, but I completely understand your point.

Those Joya de Nicaragua are great cigars. BTW, a little bit of history here; before the cigar boom, and when Somaza was the dictator of Nicaragua, the Joya de Nicaragua were his favorite cigars. Yes, those Padron are not good on anyone's wallet, but man they are some fine and tasty cigars. ;)

Wow, what a beautifully written report, and some of the most beautiful pictures I have seen here. You sir have quite a talent for taking beautiful pictures. Thank you for taking us along and sharing your wonder adventure. BTW, this is the most beautiful quote I've read so far: "Africa bites...

Wonderful and hard hunts can't ask for better. BTW, what celebratory cigars did you end up smoking? I'm getting ready for my Eastern Cape hunt, and I'm already selecting the cigars I will take. I have several Padron 1964 Aniversarios, and some Padron 1926 Series cigars to celebrate the...

This! (y) (y) (y)

Congratulations on a wonderful hunt, and as always, an enjoyable report! I was wondering at first why you did not take one of your rifles, and I was thinking that it was probably hard to do.

Do you mind explaining a bit more on Trophies/guns coverage? What's covered, and under what conditions. Thank you!

When I did my safari back in 2022, I took a CZ-550 in 375 H&H with a Trijicon 1-6x24. I had a mix of animals I was planning on taking. On the menu was a Lioness, and an Eland. I later changed the Eland for a cow Buffalo. I shot Warthog, Bushbuck, Black Wildebeest, Red Hartebeest, Kudu...

Thank you! No worries brother, when you can. PM inbound.

Beautiful room, and love the beams, lamps, everything. Well done, congratulations. If I didn't know better, I'd say you are an interior decorator or been watching too much HG TV. :ROFLMAO: I may have to let you know next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

In return, for getting the dog meds from @CZDiesel & the above 375 bullets from @Tucketed, I would like to offer the following: Hornady Reloading Manual Third Edition, and a Lee Deluxe Die Set for 22-250. Disclaimer: If you are new to the forum, I will request you post something in return...

@Tucketed, if no one has claimed them, I would like to take those please. Thank you!
