RE: Going to Africa!!!!
liquidorange...If you have not done so look up this thread a ways and go to the African bowhunt site. It is very similar to this forum but is strictly dedicated to Africa. There was a ton there that I did not know....especially about shot placement on African game.. It is VERY different than white tail or elk. There is also a lot of experience on travel tips, trophy handling, etc. I have not been but from what I have read this aint no trip to Kansas....It takes much different prep. Send me a private email and we can talk about prep. It seems like I'll be pretty close to you for the 10 days you are there.
I really lucked out on my trip....I met a guy who won this at a SCI event and none of his buddies could go on short notice. My cost for the 10 days is $150. I was able to finally use all those frequent flyer miles from my old job (had to pay $63 tax on the ticket). Trophy fees for kudu, impala, blesbok, wart hog are about $2500 which is kind of steep. But with free airfare and free lodging I'm not going to complain.
Again send me an email and let's compare notes on trip prep.
