BiebsOff to Burkina Faso
Well, off to a new adventure..,..Burkina Faso. Meeting up with Arjun Reddy for a hunt for Western Savannah Buff, Roan, Oribi, a couple of odd Duikers, and maybe a Cory Bustard. Later! :-)

Cory Bustard
I hear they are nice eating, but so protected in Zim, I've never been able to find out.
Have a great trip and let us know how it goes. I've been tempted to that trip a few times.

jvw375Enjoy! Just don't stake your life on a Blaser...ha-ha!
Seriously, get a Mauser 98 for peace of mind..
Shoot a big roan!

If they do, he'll probably buy them all.

Go Duke!!

bwanamrmGodspeed and good hunting Jon! I am envious... always wanted to hunt Burkina Faso and see if it is anything like Benin.
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!

24 February 2014, 22:52
Die Ou JagterHave fun and I hope you are not over gunned for those "odd" duikers. I haven't found any odd Duikers they all seem normal to me, but maybe, just maybe I am the odd one. Again have a great hunt!

The NorwegianHave a successful and safe trip Jon. Like Mike say - tell us how great the Blaser works when hunting and show us by your report. Maybe Todd will be convinced
The more I know, the less I wonder !

FrostbitAnybody heard from Beibs?
28 February 2014, 21:06
vvreddyHi, Arjun's brother here. Jon's gun did not follow him to Burkina, don't know if it got there yet. I think all the Blaser comments jinxed him!!
I heard he shot a nice buffalo day before yesterday.
28 February 2014, 22:00
JudgeGI think that if you look down that hole in the a/c toilet, you'll see where they carry the Blasers. Biebs's rifle probably got purged when they pumped out the turds.
JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

Beretta682EHe is a buffalo, roan, very very nice hartebeest, kob into the hunt.
He borrowed my shirt - i was really angry with the staff when they washed and returned it to me before i left.
I was going to auction a used bieb shirt on ar to fund my next hunt.
He even let me shoot and play with his Blaser and lent me a 375h&h barnes to kill a kob.
Great guy to be in camp with.
Mike

BEGNOThere is way better things to eat over there than a Biebs. The camp cook was fabulous. We ate Buffalo filets, Buffalo fondue, roast Bushbuck, Roan rice and gravy, francolin and gravy. You will not lose weight on this trip.

customboltI guess hunting in paradise will get you a bit giddy. (The cost of borrowing a barnes tsx from Biebs).
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.
Biebs, any truth to the rumor your guns were stolen but when the thieves realized they had a Blaser they returned them?
11 March 2014, 03:02
BiebsYou, sir, are a TURD! :-)
