Taking off today for Namibia. Nothing huge planned. I am doing a hosted hunt where I am taking a group of guys over that have never been, and it will be cool to see things through their eyes. No idea what I will hunt, but looks like probably just PG. This trip was planned when dog hunting for leopards was still legal, and that was my original plan. Obviously that has now changed. They have had 50" of rain so far this year, and the normal for the entire year is 17". Things are green, rivers are flowing, and cats are having an easy time making a living, so I can't imagine we would ever get one on bait. I have kind of written the leopard portion of the hunt off and chalking it up to more of my bad leopard luck. Just gonna try to enjoy what should be a relaxing trip with no pressure. I have to admit that I sure wish I was hunting some kind of DG...but I will get plenty of that in this August in Moz I guess. Have a good May...

Have a great trip Tim. Namibia has a few critters you can't hunt anywhere else. Makes for a good safari. Have fun! "You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world" - J Joplin | |||

That's what I thought too Mark, but my PH has relayed that most of the travel ways are now flowing rivers, and they just aren't seeing a lot of cat movement. He did have a big male on bait Friday, but I am sure he will be gone by the time I get there. Good Hunting, Tim Herald Worldwide Trophy Adventures tim@trophyadventures.com | |||

Good luck Tim... though it has been a few years ago, I really enjoyed my hunt in Namibia. It is a fascinating and beautiful country with some unique plainsgame to hunt like Damaraland Dik Dik and Hartman's zebra. I have always wanted to go back and visit it again. Have fun on your trip. It is always enjoyable to experience Africa with first-timers! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

good luck tim, with no paticular animal lined up maybe you should look for that magical 60" Kudu. I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same. | |||

Namibia is the place to go for 60". If I knew how to post photos, I would show you one. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||
