Sounds like Africa up next ? Or where ? No matter, who needs credit cards when you're going hunting ? :-) Good luck and tell us how it went !

if you used your credit cards in a different state or for unusual purchases this can happen. Just call the number and find out what's going on. they can usually clear it up pretty fast.
Good Luck and have fun! Scar

Yeah I did just that. Cards are back at the office locked up. Seems someone is having a great time running them up. No worries though I'm going hunting :)

Gonna assume your bow didn't take the trip? That's a bummer! Hopefully it gets there soon! Good luck... Shoot straight!

Yup borrowed bow. One Springbok in the salt . Keeping a good attitude and a big helping hand from my PH and the landowners is making this happen. Could have been a disaster. Maybe Ken can post a picture of the animal for me.

Dave continues with a nice zebra....Cape Town wine tour yesterday and a deep sea adventure (25 miles out) scheduled for Monday... the Western Cape is a beautiful area for combining a hunting & touring adventure AND, given the climate, you can hunt here during the “off season” from the typical May - September season in the northern parts of SA.

Definitely some nice animals. Congrats!
Ken...... is the Cape area still in drought conditions?
From: Ken Moody Safaris
06-Dec-18
There’s been enough rain to stave off the “disaster” status that seemed imminent. It’s drizzling rain there now.

Hope the wine tour went well...we did that a couple years ago and had a blast! Yea...what Dale said...no eating the elephant crap this time! Hahaha...

Dave just can’t help himself. He bagged two nice Cape Kudu today. Cape Kudu are smaller versions of their Greater Southern Kudu cousins...but wait...didn’t he mention his credit cards had been compromised??? No wonder he’s shooting everything :^)

Yea, you do Casey. We’re not anchored in the same area, same lodge, same hides, same old same old. We have a variety of venues situated in the best hunting areas. A different quality experience every hunt. Same team of PHs, cooks, etc. but variety of options with either myself or my partner on every hunt with you.
