Well, I'm sure I worried Graham to insanity with all of my questions. I'm sure he's heard it all before, so I tried to group them into as few phone calls and emails as possible. Still ended up with about a dozen emails and a few phone calls. He was very cordial and very responsive.

I booked for Lemco in mid September for 12 hunting days for Sable and Plainsgame. I did reserve a Nyala tag(?). Other primary animals I hope to have the opportunity to hunt are Kudu, Eland, and Bushbuck (along with Sable and Nyala). Warthog, Hyena, Impala, Bush pig, and others would be opportunistic critters.

I'm thinking of taking my pre-64 M70 chambered in 300 H&H shooting 200 grain NP's or North Forks. I'm considering just taking the one rifle with an extra scope pre-zeroed in QD rings and a small maintenance kit. This was based on Graham's recommendation, rather than taking two rifles. I'm still considering taking two, but leaning hard toward taking just the one.

But, basically I am excited to have this finally booked and confirmed. This has been a long time coming. I've been planning this trip for about 18 years now, on and off, since I was in college. Unfortunately the good friend that first got me so fired up to do this won't be able to make it.
