    Thanks for the offer. Offer stands from us if your travels bring you through Amarillo. Heck, if any SH member finds their way through Amarillo, I'll try to meet for a drink and tall-tales. CWJ

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    I think total game fee was $15000. I paid on it for the last 6 months, so I didn't have much extra when I paid out at end of trip. Only extra was the giraffe. CWJ

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    I saw your pictures from last year. I was jealous of your trip. Looks like you had loads of fun. We are already planning a return trip for leopard and Cape buffalo. The giraffe hide weighed over 1000 pounds!!! Yeah, it's thick!!! Coty

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    The springbok should be super gold. The kudu was the most exciting animal that I got. I was so glad that the New Yorker missed him!! The zebra was the hardest animal that I got. Those things are so smart. We hunted for Hartmann's zebra for the first 5 days and couldn't get a shot. Saw several...

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    I had a list of 8 animals when I went. Plus wanted 2 of 3 extra (giraffe, eland, waterbuck). After getting there, I kinda cooled on shooting a giraffe. We saw a bunch and I thought it would be too easy, so we decided to concentrate on the other 2 in our "spare time." Neither are spare time...

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    Andrew McCourt posted information on the rifles. GAP non-typicals. 300 WSM with 180 TTSX and 6 CM with 115 VLD. The 300 has a S&B 4-16x50 with XR reticle. The 6 CM has a Premier Hunter 3-15x50 with XR reticle. Neither saw much time past 6x. The TTSX performed wonderfully on everything. It...

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    Sorry for the delay in responding. Had a long Monday trying to get caught back up from the trip. My partners had a huge to-do list for me. Up early today to get back on it. I'll try to answer all of the questions.

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    Our final day involved hunting for a giraffe. We were able to find a large bull and he fell following a shot in the neck from 150 yards. A finishing shot into the heart was needed. We were transported back to Okahandja and then to Windhoek the following morning to fly home. Our trip home was...

    Hunting & Fishing African Safari 2013 - Namibia

    We returned from our safari yesterday. Wanted to give an update on the trip. Flew from Denver to NY. Customs in NY was a little rough, but not too bad. The cops were arrogant and rude, but at least we got through. Then to Johannesburg and on to Windhoek. I expected a long process of...

    Night Vision TNVC Announces the WASP NV Clip-On Device

    I chose to not post the name of the dealer that is involved because it doesn't appear to have been his fault. Any publicity that he received from this issue wouldn't be positive and I don't think he deserves it. He has been very friendly and professional in his communications over my order. I...

    Night Vision TNVC Announces the WASP NV Clip-On Device

    The company that I ordered from has been great. They seem to be as frustrated as I am. I've been told multiple times that my order is "on its way." I got a PM from TNVC stating that I could request a refund from them. No apology or explanation for the delay. No timeline on when they will be...

    Night Vision TNVC Announces the WASP NV Clip-On Device

    I'm starting to wonder if these things even exist beyond "research" or demo models. I'm thinking maybe I should be requesting a refund and looking at another product. This is getting beyond ridiculous....

    Awesome pictures. Didn't know that you could take a suppressor to Africa. Now I need to see if I can get my rifle threaded in time... CWJ

    Hunting & Fishing Africa Hunting Trip

    I'm flying Denver, JFK, Johannesburg, Windhoek on SAA going and Windhoek, Johannesburg, Washington, Denver on SAA/United returning. Chose those flights because: 1) departure in Denver is at midnight and can get to Windhoek the next day. 2) avoided London (AA won't let you fly guns through...

    Hunting & Fishing Africa Hunting Trip

    I'm taking a 300 WSM and my wife is taking a 6 CM. I have a 375 RUM and was going to take it. Spoke with George Garner about it and he said it was overkill. He said he took a 308 on his trip to Africa. Ended up booking my flights on my own. Thanks for all of the advice. CWJ

    Hunting & Fishing Africa Hunting Trip

    So, lots of snags on this trip. Travel with Guns has been anything but helpful. The lady that we've been in contact there is clueless. I went over dates twice with her and she still managed to screw them up. Got dates corrected, but she looked up flights through London on American, which...
