Knifeboy Report post Posted August 31, 2011 Your Gemsbuck is absolutely amazing. Congratulations on a phenomenal trip! I still remember reading your story about Alaska. It was kind of an inspiration for me to go. I hope someday to go and shoot a Gemsbuck in Africa. Thanks for the posts, they made me feel like I was there.

billrquimby Report post Posted September 1, 2011 Congratulations on your great trophies. I'm especially envious of your bushpig. They are rarely seen during the day, and I still have to kill my first after at least a dozen nights of hunting them. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky2hunt Report post Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks everyone! Bill, the pig was a very intense hunt for sure; also little spooky sitting out the bush in the pitch dark.

GRONG Report post Posted March 11, 2013 Oh my gosh this is the first time I've ever seen this post! How flippin cool!!!!! Great pics and amazing trophies! Good shots too I'm headed to Africa in early August for 2 weeks to try and fling some arrows thru a few animals myself and am looking WAY forward to it! Never hunted much that didn't have antlers attached so hunting horned animals will be quite the change. Thanks for getting me pumped!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawDog Report post Posted March 26, 2013 Great write up and the pictures were awesome. I got one of the African hunts from the Arizona Elk Society Banquet on Saturday. If you have any words of wisdom for getting ready for a trip I'd love to hear 'em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have any words of wisdom for getting ready for a trip I'd love to hear 'em. Did you get the first one for $1800 and for 3 hunters I believe it was or the second one for 2 hunters? Either way it was a good buy. Good luck on your hunt. Can't wait to see some pictures. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Practice shooting through narrow openings. The flight over and back (21-24 hrs from Phx) is a killer - one word....... Ambien!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted March 26, 2013 The flight is absolutely horrendous! I hated that part and I am not a great sleeper on planes so it was super difficult! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
