      Was curious myself. I swapped to these over the summer and I like the way they fly. I went with the 125 gr Double bevel Tag and bag heads. Haven't stuck anything with them yet, so I am chomping at the bit for some cooler weather. Glad to hear some good results.

Heith and his buddies were a blast to share camp with and every evening was full of great stories around the fire. I don’t know if this trip can be topped for me but I will definitely try again in a few years. Kudos to Scott for putting together this hunt of a lifetime.

            Thanks Mike, I am super happy everyone had a great time. Let me know if and when you want to go back and I will make it happen for you. Go ahead and spread the word around to people who may want to make the trip, I am always ready to talk/hunt Africa.

                  Congrats on the great harvest & trip. What calibers did you use was what was the Ruger boat paddle?

                  What was the temperature while hunting.

                  Again congrats!

                      Those are amazing trophies!!!


                      I went on a trip two years ago with Scott smith at Adansonia safari. Had bad hunting weather for most of the trip but Mof still made the trip worth it. Still got my three target animals and best experience possible. I would of loved to of been on that trip with y’all. Maybe we can make a trip. Of course we won’t be disappointed.
