Buddy and I Archery hunted unit 35 4 years ago, early Sept. Hunted with a guide so we could hunt wilderness and non wilderness areas. Hunted hard and covered A LOT of ground over 5 days. Neither of us drew back and wasn't for lack of effort. After the 15th it gets crowded.
I purchased a Rad Rover 6 at the end of the summer. I used it on an antelope/ mule deer hunt in Wyoming, ran the heck out of it at my whitetail lease, and used it in the mud and marsh hunting sika deer on Maryland's lower eastern shore. I loved it, plain and simple. Most of my trails were two...
I have used the Savage in 350 legend for the last several years and have been extremely happy with the accuracy and results on deer. 4 of us (including crop damage) use the 350 and take between 4-50 deer a season.
Last several years I've worn LOWA Evo GTX and could not be an happier. The are comfortable and have been great the last few years on hunts in Wyoming and New Mexico.

Depending on how you are driving out and how much room you have our group bought a chest freezer from home depot and and run a generator on the way home. Usually about 30 hours ride from Maryland and Wyoming. Some of us butcher ourselves and some drop off at processor but its always comes home...
Been across the pond 6 times (both hunting and travel) and hopefully headed back next summer. Had 4 different friends hunt in SA over the last several weeks and not an issue. South Africa is definitely the more modern of the Southern African countries. Prices for some plains game are quite...
