Traveling Abroad – Gun Travel Logistics –
For many hunters, the opportunity to hunt Africa is a once in a lifetime experience. However, being unprepared can cost you the entire hunt and a lot of money. This week Jim will talk about what steps you’ll need to take and what paperwork you’ll need to get your hunting guns through the airports and into another country and then back.
Reliving the Hunt – Jim’s Hunting Experience –
Jim relives and talks about each of his hunts with Kolobe Safaris. At the end of his trip Jim harvested a total of five animals including: a cape buffalo, gemsbok, warthog, impala, and a blue wildebeest. He’ll talk about the different circumstances of each of these hunts, the firearms he used and his overall impression of his first African safari.
