RupertBearMaine Woods,
Enjoy! But if he's still got that bloody ostrich in his yard, keep an eye on it - its a sneaky bugger.

Aspen Hill Adventureseyedoc,
For your tiger fishing the guide will probably cut up bait fish to stick on a large hook and you'll troll. I bet spoons like a big Red Devil for Northerns will also do the trick.
I will try them next time myself.

Die Ou JagterMaine, have a good hunt and as many say savor the moments cause you only get one first safari.

mstarlingHave a Wonderful time! Enjoy every thing ... sights, sounds, the hunting, foods, and the sundowners.
Keep a diary! That and the pics will bring back a flood of memories in the future. Grand memories to be sure.
