Hi All,

It's been about a year since I last put a thread like this up. All the good intentions were there to be more active on AR, but alas!

(Last year's thread )

A few guys had already booked hunts for 2010 and hoped KHS offers would be available again. Glad to report we have some great offers for 2011 hunting season so without further ado, here we go!

KHS had a representative at the Pacific Northwest Sportsman's show in Portland, OR from 9-13 Feb and the offers above were also showcased there.
We have a flyer available in picture format - should I post that here (and is it allowed) or would it be preferable to send as requested?

Thanks, and good hunting!

Other news from this neck of the woods (and most of the Southern hemisphere, for that matter!) is that we've had excellent rainfall with even more forecasted.
You might have seen reports about floods on the news so not all that good, but in Namibia the ranchers and outfitters are smiling ear to ear.

It's lush and green all over like you wouldn't believe. The next few months will be a great time to visit and see our desert country decked out in green!

...Just remember to pack the allergy med's if you get hayfever like me!

Another thing I'd like to share is that I visited the States in Sept/Oct 2010 - - - AMAZING experience! Not my first time overseas but my first time in the US.

A big thank you to Tapper2 whom I went to visit and his friend ( also 'accomplice' & 'buddy in arms'! ) larrys01. They were the folks I had met before during numerous hunts with KHS and they sure were generous & showed me a good time. Had a splendid time and enjoyed the heck out of it! Mostly I was in Iowa but Tapper2 took me up to their cabin on Rainy Lake in Canada for some fishing. Tell you what, if there's a fishing thread on here and I have time one day, I'll post about catching a 48" Northern with even hooking it! Awesome!
I got to see & shoot some previously unknown calibers at the best range ever. Also went to Cabelas and got some gadgets & supplies...after recollecting my jaw from the floor. Met some great folks and just very grateful I had the opportunity.
Would love to go back one day and see some more of your great country - all in good time.

Gotta run - I'll be out of town for the weekend so I'll check in on Monday again. Cheers!

Sounds like a great deal. Good luck.

@DSC Member - thanks & hope we can get a few new faces to come and hunt with KHS.

I wanted to post the flyers from Portland's show but they're a little too small which makes it hard to read. If anyone wants to see those, just PM or email and I'll send it along.
