Six more days and a wakeup and we are headed out via Delta to Bulawayo.

Twelve days of chasing elephant, buffalo, and maybe a good kudu, sable, or waterbuck with Martin Pieters Safaris and Lindon Stanton as my PH on Omay North.

Then some time in Bulawayo then off to Nehimba for some R&R and then Vic Falls and home. Twenty-eight days total.

It will be a little warm and damp just like home. Chilly Pads, a fan, and a good attitude will take care of the heat. The swimming pool in camp will help also.

Lindon? You are hunting with Lindon? That guy couldn't find a buffalo if he hit it with his Toyota! (of course, we shot 2 very nice ones when I was there in August- poacher stole the bait the day before our night in the blind or I would likely have had a nice leopard, too).

You will have a great time! Good luck!

Good Luck Mike.

Mike, I hope you have a great hunt. 28 days in country is certainly enough to relax and get the flavor of the place.

Martin will treat you right, have fun!

Lindon is one of the good guys. Say Hi for me.
Oh, and tell him how Doubles are far superior to Bolt actions.

Say G'Day to lindon for me to I have down a few cold ones with him and his Brother Matt a few times great guys

Have a great time Mike and give my best to Martin and Candy. I will catch up with you when you get back.

About the superiority of doubles, I will show him.

Mike,

The best hope you get to smack that ele with a frontal with the 500. A wonderful time hunting and just like home in summer.

Mike

Have a great trip Mike. Enjoy the cool weather.

Mike,

Way to go. I hope you have the trip of your dreams.

Remember, if the morning drive gets too chilly, you can always roll up the window.

Best

Have a great time, be safe......

I have every confidence that Martin and Lindon will give you the hunt of a lifetime.

Best of luck Mike. Say hello to Martin and Candy for me.

Mike looking forward to it my friend and just to get you excited ( if you are not already ), I have a client that has just today turned down a huge lion during broad daylight near camp so if the pocket book allows..............and he is still around!!

Mike,

Best of luck and sweat a bucket me. Take Martin up on the lion. Those kind of opportunities don't come along often.

Good hunting Mike! That darn Martin always knows how to get your adrenaline raging doesn't he?

Best of luck. Met Lindon in camp this past year and have a hunt booked with him next year. He's the real deal, just don't keeep him waiting at the dinner table Your in good hands with Martin.

Have a great hunt, Mike, and say hello to Lindon for me. Hunted Omay north w/Lindon in 2010, took a great buff, kudu & impala. I was lucky enough to take a 7ft. 10in. ranch leopard with him in May. BTW, be sure to pack your running shoes so you can keep up with him!

From a North La. redneck to a South La. Cajun:
Hope you have the time of your life!
Look forward to your report.

Sounds like fantastic way to spend a month!

Good luck, stay safe, and have fun!

Have fun Mike. Tell Lindon Butch & Geoff said hello.
I have some extra fans if you need to borrow them.

Hey Mike
I have yours and Katherines' hunters ball tickets ready for the 30th!! Going to be a good one looking forward to it.
Mart

Thanks for all the replies and well wishes.

This will be my third trip to the Omay with Martin.

It will be nice not to be rushed and enjoy some time in the country.

Martin,

You are a cruel man for tempting me with the lion. And thanks for the invite to the ball.

Cannot wait. 4 1/2 days and a wakeup.

Good luck Mike
I know you will have a great time.

Dang Mike. I just realized what a sacrifice you are making. Missing a big part of duck season.

I'll whack a pile of ducks for you.
That hunter's ball sounds like fun. You and Katherine enjoy.
Be safe in your travels.

Have a great trip Mike.
