I just wanted to thank everyone for there advice, I had a great time in South Africa with Tumuga Hunting. The flight might have been long but it was well worth it, now I just have to figure out how and when I can get back. I got 8 animals on this trip a Kudu, Gemsbok, Wildebeest, Impala, blesbok, 2 Warthogs, and a Jackal. To anyone thinking of going to Africa all I can say is DO IT you wont regret it.

Please post story and pictures so I may live thru your experience since I am not going to Africa this year

We just returned from our first trip as well. It was only a week now, but feels like a year. I can't wait to go back. All of the other hunting I have done falls way short by comparison.

I have to agree with you Uplander, I have been home a few weeks now and I'm already planing my next trip.
I will post pictures soon

Craven,

We did warn you that this sort of thing is addictive! Now you can see why.

Very nice pics and trophies ... especially nice piggies.

You clearly had wonderful success on the trophy quest! My blood is pumping again and next Sept can't come soon enough. In the mean-time, can you share a few stories?
Congratulations
Gary

Thank You gents, and yes Gary I had a great time, what can I say that has not already been said by others. I have drank from the well of Africa and I will never be the same, the outfitter Tamuga Hunting Safaris is a family owned and operated and they treat you like you are one of the family. Located in the Limpopo Prov. and on the Limpopo river you have a wide verity of game to choose from as well as picture taking. I went at the end of June begining of July and the weather was perfect, mid thirties in the morning and warming up to seventy inthe afternoon with no humidity and that was great as I am from south Florida. We used the spot and stalk method of hunting witch I like because you never know what you might see, I still cant get over how good the trackers eyes are they can see game you and I would never be able to spot.
I dont know witch animal to tell about because they are all memorable to me, but I guess the Wildebeest was the hardest to get, to many eyes looking around all the time and never standing still long enough to get a clear shot, but after Three days of hard work we got him, a quartering away shot at 150 yards that completely passed through the animal, God I love my 35 Whelen with 225gr Barnes tripple shock bullets, the PH's nicknamed my gun the howitzer.
Well thats all I have time for right now, and I will repeat my self if you are thinking of going to Africa JUST DO IT.

Craven

Congratulations. I hope you may be able to return again and again. Very nice animals. Kudude
