In this episode I had a really cool and interesting chat with Joey LeBlanc from Louisiana. Joey went on his first African safari back in 2024 and decided to opt for the unconventional way of hunting by taking his handgun on the trip.

Although not new to the industry, handgun hunting in South Africa is still relatively uncommon amongst first time hunters to Africa. Joey is a really cool guy and he shared everything about his adventure from setting up the correct loads for his gun, too practicing on the range and finally putting it all to the test in Africa.

Below is the link to Joey's article where you can learn a little more about his adventure to the Dark Continent.

Robbie Kroger, founder of Blood Origins, is on the front lines when it comes to defending the practice of hunting, counteracting misinformation proposed by ARA's, and in my opinion leading the way in portraying the real meaning behind what it means to be a hunter and the benefits hunting can provide to the greater community.

Join Robbie and myself as we discuss his latest projects with Blood Origins and how the hunting community is fighting back against those who wish to see it banished.

I highly suggest you follow Blood Origins and as a hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman, you throw your full support behind him.

Cameron Mitchell is a great guy, and I honestly could have made this episode 3 hours long. He has been on some cool hunting adventures and bow hunted on all 5 continents.

Cameron and I chatted about his fascination with double rifles, his love for Africa, his work with the Sheep Foundation, and the Grand Slam Club/Ovis. It was a cool episode and an honor to have him on as a guest.

If you have any stories about your time in Africa that you would like to share, then contact me via email, and we will arrange a time to record an episode. Hunters Welcome!!

Here is probably my main advice for those guys considering a hunting safari to Africa and who aren't quite sure where to start. Here it is, talk with other hunters that have been to Africa and ask a lot of questions.

I have a returning guest from episode 12 back on the podcast, Bill Davis.

Bill has a real passion for hunting in Africa and he is always open with his time and willing to answer any questions and help out with those planning their first trip. Bill and I discuss an array of topics, including what it takes to be an admin of one of Facebook's largest Hunt South Africa groups.

Enjoy and remember to leave a rating and review, because if you do not, you'll probably get an ear infection and you will miss out on hearing from this podcast again, and no one wants that.

Enjoy!

**Edit: At 01:08:10 I mention "6 females de-horned, 6 males hunted." I meant 3 females and 6 males hunted. The income generated from 9 rhinos.

The Rhino poaching pandemic rages on and seems to be a losing battle. Those on the frontlines and fighting every day for the survival of these incredible animals are heroes and everyday warriors who deserve the utmost support and praise.

But the battle is being lost and seeing that to be true with how many rhinos are being poached on an almost daily basis.

In this episode, I provide my solution to solve the poaching crisis and as long as we hunters band together and apply the principles of sustainable hunting....then we can save this incredible animals.

My guest for episode 75 is Jesse VanKoughnett from Ontario, Canada.

This is a great episode as Jesse shares his experiences of his hunting safari in the Mpumalanga Province of South Africa.

We talk about the importance of forming a good bond with your PH, how going after buffalo cows can be just as dangerous as bulls, enjoying the smaller simpler moments of the trip, and his future plans for his next hunting trip.
