Folk,

@JKO HUNTING SAFARIS has a last minute cancellation for an LDE hunt in Cameroon. By last minute, I mean last minute. The daily rate is being reduced to 29,500 Euros. Yes it must be priced in Euros, why I don't know, Jacques will have to explain that to you. The hunt must be completed by March 16th, 2026, so there's very little time to get this going. The normal daily price is 45,750 Euros. This may mean not being able to get the full 12 days in.

What are your go to boots for hunting in the mountains. Steep, wet, loose rocks, grass, slippery terrain, sometimes snow or snow.

I want to get after stag with a bow and then have my wife catch browns. I've seen some guys doing similar stuff on youtube but would love some help to get pointed in the right direction.

Last year, when I went to SCI, I stopped at Wesley Richards booth as I wanted to place an order for a double and an extra barrel. They said they were all sold outand the earliest I could have one would be in 6 years, 2028 when I would be 71!!!.
