Joshua also recalls a few hair raising moments that he and his step-father had while hunting buffalo. This is a great episode, so tune in, get comfortable and enjoy the stories.

The spectacle and wow factor of Africa is all around you while you hunt. It's not just in the trophy, it's not in the challenge, it's not round the fire at night and it's certainly not in the skinning shed.

The real beauty of hunting Africa lies in the weird and wonderful facts that every plant, mammal, bird, insect and reptile has within that you didn't even know about.

In this episode, I will bring 15 weird and wild facts that you can impress your PH with on your next hunting safari.

When it comes to hunting trophies in Africa, as hunters we often get hung up on size, inches, length or even a "good representative" of the species.

However, have you considered hunting those real warriors of a species? The old battle axes, the ones way past their prime, the ones that defended their ladies, drove off the threats and put their bodies on the line to remain top dog for as long as they could.

Those are the types of animals I enjoy hunting and in this episode I discuss some of the best species that will give you those warrior trophies.

My guest on this episode is just down the Texan road from me, Hal Rose.

Hal first hunted South Africa back in 1994 and only returned some twenty years later. Well, as Hal will re-tell, the African bug bit him harder on his second trip and since then he has planned on returning to hunt this beautiful land every year since.

Hal shares some great stories across his 3 trips to South Africa, from Kwa-Zulu Natal, to Limpopo and down to the Eastern Cape. He also shares some great advice for those new hunters, looking at hunting Africa.

If you would like to reach out to Hal and talk about hunting or maybe even get some feedback on an outfitter you are looking at, then you can reach him via email on: halrose01@gmail.com

For many hunters the country of Mozambique is usually reserved for their 5th, 6th or 7th hunting trip to Africa...and for good reason! Mozambique is without a doubt a wild wild place, and to be called truly wild in Africa is saying a lot. The hunting is hard, the animals are fierce and if they don't kill you, then either the malaria or Tsetse flies will.....or the land mines will. You get my point, it's a wild place.

Well, my guest for today's episode decided that Mozambique would be his first port of call into his hunting Africa journey and by the sounds of his stories, it was an incredible decision to make.

Sit back, grab a cold one and enjoy this episode as Samir shares some stories from his adventure of hunting in Mozambique.

Back in the hot seat this week, is returning guest Aaron Lassila from all the way back on Episode 61.

Aaron first came on the podcast to talk about how he was planning his first African hunting trip to South Africa. Well, it has been over a year now and Aaron is back with some special hunting stories to share from his time hunting in South Africa.

Enjoy!

I put out a call on social media for some hunting stories and by goodness did the hunting community respond.

This weeks episode I give a brief bit of advice for those heading to the hunting shows in the US and frankly, anyone else that may be planning a trip to Africa. Then I jump straight into two fantastic hunting stories shared by Ron and Michael from the US, who so kindly took up the call for hunting stories and decided to share their experience of hunting in Africa.

Enjoy!

This past hunting season here in Texas has been extra special for the family, for many different reasons. The most significant for me was achieving a life long dream of helping my kids hunt their first animals.

I thought what a fitting way to celebrate their first success and official designation as hunters, than to bring them onto the podcast as guests and have them share their story of how they hunted their first deer here in Texas, with the listeners.

Enjoy the episode everyone and all the very best for 2026.
