Ha Nore

[Alan]

G'day all here at Trad Gang,

  Well I plan to hunt with Ha Nore in 05 with a few mates of mine that both have been to Africa twice before but not to Ha Nore in Namibia. What I'm looking for is any info from anyone thats hunted there or in Nam before. Like things to take for gifts to the kids, something for the trackers and skiners, things that would help out a first timer in Africa.

 I plan to hunt plains game only and I have my hart set on a nice Gemsbok shortly after that a nice wide Kudu! We plan to be there for about 14 days at this time so there will be know presure or made rush to bag game. Just want to enjoy myself and down a few good critters!    

 I'll be shooting a Black Widow PSAX Osage , 70# @ 28. And am looking to try the Grizzly sticks or I may just use some very good tapered woodis that I have stored away, arrow weight around 675g's. And of cause up front leading the charge would be the 160g' Grizzly heads.

O....... I loved your DVD on the black widow hunt Denny. When's the next one comming out? Regards from Oz, Alan M. Kidner

[Twang]

That sounds like a real righteous setup there, mate.    

Good luck!

[Rick McGowan]

Alan, we use very similar setups, great minds think alike! I plan to be back in OZ in a few months, can't wait to get back to the NT! Rick

I'm heading for Ha Nore in July '04.  This will be my 11th trip to Africa, but my first to Namibia.  It's going to be a special "reunion" hunt, since Doug Otte, who was burned in the fire with me in the Arctic will be joining me.  

From there, on to Greater Kuduland in S.A.  I will never be able to get the Dark Continent out of my blood!

I hunted at Ha Nore last July and had a blast. You guys will love it. Lots of trophy gemsbok and kudu. Allan Cilliers is an awesome PH. The Bushman trackers read the sand like you and I read a book.

 Dale Karch of 3 Rivers Archery was one of our group. We are producing a video for Dale right now that should be availible by Spring. We will also include some African footage in Black Widows next DVD. Darryl is going to be busy this winter.

Paul B, I'd love to share a camp with you sometime. Denny

[Rick McGowan]

Denny, you ought to come down to OZ and hunt water buff with me and TS, it'll be a hoot! Rick

[Dsturgisjr]

Rick, When is the hunt?

[Randy Cooling]

Alan, I'm booked to hunt Ha Nore the 1st thru the 14th of August in 05. When are you booked.

[Alan]

It seems that I have left my run to late   :confused:  So now where looking at 06. O well........ better hurry up than!

 Alan in Oz.

[Chad Sivertsen]

Alan,

Is Ha!Nore! booked that far ahead or did you just choose to go in '06? I'm sure you will have a wonderful time.

[Alan]

Yes Chad,

  The place is just about full up! We are now looking at 06 or Ombengu for 05. I do not know if we/I can wait that long ( 06) do hunt Africa LOL.

 T.Falls , Montana, now that souns like a nice place to live.......... hows the hunting ? Must visit there on day.

 Kind regards from Oz, Alan.  :cool:

Geez, this feels like I just stumbled back to the campfire after a long day of hunting! Paul, say hi to Doug Otte for me. I enjoyed hunting with him years ago. Secure in your wimpy winter quarters in NZ, you'll be glad to know it dumped three feet of snow here last night and I don't think I can even get down the hill to go lion hunting. You all will enjoy Na Nore. I think I was the first bowhunter Allan Cilliers ever met when I did an exploratory with him years ago. Alan, hope we can get together n QLD when I'm over there next year. Denny, I'm doing another exploratory there for buffalo and might have room for another... want to go? Chad, still trying to find those slides from the MJ. Best to all, Don

[Dsturgisjr]

Don, Great to see you! I'm really enjoying the company here and I love reading your posts. I'm interested in buff if it misses a hunt I've booked. I'll e-mail you.

[Jock]

Alan, that's a pity about you're hunt taking another year, but at least you will definately have your gear ready for it, and hopefully we can have a meetup in OZ before the big event.
Don, when are you planning to visit QLD?

[Randy Cooling]

Alan, I might have one openning in my group for Ha Nore in august 05. I won't know until the end of january. If you are interested I'll get back to you then about going. Good luck, Randy

[Jack Shanks]

Don,I think you missed Brad Johnson in Alberta last year. He left earlier in the same day you arrived.I know that Brad hunted Ha Nore last year and plans to return in 05. That was the earliest he could get back as the dates had been filled. I believe he was going in July.
 
Paul,you may remember Brad though. He said he hunted deer with you and Gene in Montana quite a few years ago.

[Don Thomas]

Jock -- Still planning, but will be in Oz sometime May-June, for buff and a trip back through Queensland, my New Favorite place. Planning to get back to Africa sometiem next year too... Don

[Jock]

Don,
Reckon you must be hunting Buffs with "Basalt" then, isn't Rick going to be in Oz round about then too? Hoping to get over this year myself but don't think I will make it for May/June, would love to have met up with you guys for a natter and a beer or two, anyway, safe journey and good huntin.
