I just went through this thread.  These are photos that tell a story like the best of the Fred Bear little Delta pics!  I spent time with this thread in an attempt to increase my desire to make a trip I've been offered.

I have an unbelievably generous opportunity to spend 14 days in South Africa this July 31-August 13th. About 6 days would be spent bowhunting with about 4 spent teaching archery. A South African Professional Hunter Association will be the host.  The decision will be based  upon whether or not my son can get approval from his work (University) to go with me.  Neither of us have ever gone.

Bowwild, tell  your son to do anything he can to make that trip, you'll never regret it.

Well I did a horrible job of posting my photos from the S. Africa trip from two years ago.  I do have some pics on the Abowyer website but I am pretty much lost when it comes to posting here.  I am heading back to Africa soon though, this time to Mozambique for free range cape buffalo.  A very primitive hunt...pretty much jungle spike camping.  Working up my heavy bow/arrow combination for the trip and will bring addtional light set-up in case I have time for other plains game after the buff hunt.  My nephew (Marine Corps)- teaches special forces units from other countries weapons and tactics.  He's going to hunt with a 375HH on the trip and he'll be great to have since he's a field medic and weapons expert.  I'll "try" to do better on this trip with posting photos and taking more of them.  I leave Sept. 6th, so just a few months to go!!

Great pics, and great thread!

Thanks Guys, Much appreciated. I have not looked back at this for some time, We'v done some serious hunting out there since then!
 But its stuff I can't post here (wrong bow) Some serious walk and stalk bowhunting adventures through.

Been hunting Australia and the US pretty hard recently....Africa is starting to call again though.....We have a Survival type Backpack trip in the planning stages.

Man I love this thread. I went through Kenya and Tanzania a few years back. When you go to Africa it just takes a piece of you and leaves this longing that doesn't go away until you see those vast spaces again.

Incredible pictures you guys. Africa is - at least in terms of landscape - paradise on Earth.

I'm going to Namibia myself in 2 months, and I will get my first chance to shoot game with a traditional bow. Where abouts in Namibia did you go? As in, the name of the lodge  :)
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
