jdollar1 week and counting
In exactly 1 week my wife and I will be landing in Dubai. We will spend 3 days there, then head to Botswana for 9 days. It will be my first pure plains game hunt in about 10 years and I am looking forward to nice relaxing time. I just hope we don’t get sick on the plane flights!!

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

shootawayI am just curious but will you put a hunt report?

If you’re like me, you’ve already packed and re-packed a couple of times. I’ve already started getting ready for my fifth trip to Namibia in May 2019. A big part of the pleasure of an African hunt is the preparation.
Have a great trip.

bwanajayGood luck and good hunting.

jdollarThanks guys. This will be a no pressure, fun hunt as I don’t intend to bring anything back. Just enjoy the Bush and shoot a few representative animals. Old, worn down, and broken horns will be fine.

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...

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Check the Ghanzi weather station for current temps.
It was fine in the AM and quite warm in the afternoons (and warming up daily)
