I am not a big writer at all but thought I would post this for anyone contemplating hunting in South Africa. This is our experience

My brother and I just got back from South Africa were we harvested the slam of springbuck, both blesbuck , 2 warthogs, blue wildebeest, impala and a gems buck.

Our hunt was with Watts trophy outfitters. We had never hunted Africa before so we didn't know what to expect.

This outfit was fantastic!, they handled our gun import and export permits on the Africa side, they had their people ( taxidermist, owners, permit specialists etc) meet us at all the airports and handled everything! (Not one issue with the guns).

The accommodations , food, hospitality was over the top defiantly a 5 star all around. The hunting was awesome we saw a lot of animals and there was no pressure to shoot more animals( which I have heard is done at some places) We hunted on many different ranches and all the choices was there.

We were so impressed and happy with our choice. The Watts brothers are top shelf guys and if anyone out there is looking to head to Africa I would highly recommend them!!! We have already booked our buffalo hunt in Tanzania and are excited already!!

If anyone has any questions pm me. I'll try and gets some pics posted

Wow, an entry level plains game Safari in RSA then right on to the most expensive Buffalo hunt on the planet. You must really be hooked ;) Congrats on the experience and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Make sure your outfitter actually has a license for each of you as well when you go or you might have issues getting your Buff home.
