A charming read about an exciting adventure. I hope to get there someday, glad you did and had a great trip-thanks for the pictures and write up!

Dave Langerman among others -BUT I really hate the concept of this post. Far too many will be left out and some that shouldn’t get mentioned will simply because they are some American hunters buddy. What is the criteria? TV exposure is imo the biggest factor with written exposure a close second.

If you have one of those old zebcos-it probably still works. They don’t make them like they used to!

Exciting!-please post some more pix when you get them hung with the horns on (y)

Just over three months away for me-starting to get that nervous excited feeling when I see new pix or read a story from them!

Welcome to the group! Glad you found us and hope you someday can go hunting in Africa! Always wanted to hunt birds in Sweden, that is one of my maybe someday. . .

I misunderstood your question-removed my response. A good importer will be a huge asset to you-

all pieces and parts of primates, birds, pigs and bovines must be inspected at a usda certified facility. They will be shipped to one of these agents and a usda rep will visit, inspect and if there are no issues, release the shipment. OP did say they needed to be re dipped which is unusual...

BruceS-what animals are in your crate?

Third round in your title-second round in the first paragraph. Prices?!

I never understood math at any level. Then I was required for my employment to take a “hydraulics for engineers” algebra class-so I could function as the engineer on a fire fruck. When I could put My hands on things and understand why they were given a letter for value and place them into an...

Good luck with preparations for your trip. I will be eagerly waiting for your report. I would like to hunt with Ndumo someday, hope your trip goes as expected!

I cannot comment on those specific books but have really enjoyed Peter Flack’s books. I only have a couple as they command a fine price but the content and writing are very good- Kevin Thomas has some good reads for a very good price. Ron Thomson also has some written some fun hunting books...

Welcome from a neighbor to the south of you and thank you for a “proper” introduction. I spend about a week every year with connections in Idaho chasing birds-one of my favorite pastimes. A Brittney will serve you well! I’ve done the east cape a couple times and will again this summer. Kudu...

I have that same box for my .375 wby-I’m certain I bought it just for the cool box! here are a couple others I have collect through the years. I don’t burn ammo as fast as I used to but sometimes me and the kids will burn a bunch at the range. I’m sure I stock components more than loaded...

Call 1-800-279-7985 (McKenzie/wasco) and click on the “talk to a taxidermist” option or whatever similar it gives you. They might be able to help. I would buy some fiberglass hardener at a local hardware store and test That on a small batch, that just might work and can be bought separately

Had to look it up-Looks like my kind of event! Have a good time and let us know what catches your attention

Sorry there are not A frames available in France. Can you get Loaded TSX and bonded DGX and go shoot them both for accuracy and practice?

Found it! Some impressive amberjack but the needlefish is my favorite

Pix of fish? Or is there a separate report for that which I missed? Love the cull concept and glad you added a couple trophies. I have tsessebe and nyala on my wish list for later this summer and you threw some fuel onto that fire for sure! Thanks for posting. Can’t believe you didn’t shoot...

I would check with several other options (outfitters) and compare the overall costs. I haven’t dealt with doves only hunting, usually dove/duck combo and yours is just a bit troubling. I’m glad you figured out the license issue

In all fairness there are situations where I wish for a more open choke. I use 8’s but can see using 9’s if you can get them

I love 5 stand and it is a riot when you take new or young shooters. I do not change my chokes-mod and full, same as when I hunt. There are guys who swap them out at every new stand but I feel like they are-making it too hard-overthinking the fun. What gun were you shooting? That would Make...

I apologize for the snarkiness of my last post. After reading all the responses my last neeve was acting up. In MY experience and in this one caliber here are The pros and cons I have learned- 1. Recoil can be heavy. I am not recoil sensitive and don’t have a brake device on my rifles...

Welcome to the site. I lived in nc for some years and could not sleep last night after Duke lost. I’ve been to sa a couple times and will return this summer. Also taking my 7mm-08 and for more or less the same animals that you have in your list. Practice from sticks and be prepared to...

The topic of the OP is specifically the 28 nosler. I could have written about all the 7’s I own and have used but the topic was pretty straight forward. The op also will use said caliber for long shots in agriculture closer to home. There are pros and cons to every caliber.

Love my 28 nosler and hand loaded 175 ablr bullets. Would have no second thoughts about taking it to Africa. Fast and very accurate.

Franchi makes the Affinity 3 compact and Winchester makes the sx 4 compact. We’ve been looking at the 20 ga versions and 2 3/4 and 3 inch models. These are semi auto for waterfowl but two of my daughters have Been trying them out and love them. The biggest thing I have noticed as they switch...

Please forgive me! BUT, this one is the one I use most. Perfect for pruning my fruit trees, prepping trees for deer stands, cutting firewood or this last season, our family Christmas tree. It is lightweight, fits easily in a daypack and requires oil but no pain in the can fuels. I use it...

I wire about half the cost then carry the rest. But I take my card just in case we run across an unplanned opportunity that needs to be taken. As mentioned, it depends heavily on the agreed amount of the safari to begin with

I was guessing onions-but I’ll give you high points for creativity

Would love to take it to Maine-but to kill a boss gobbler with it!

last year was unbelievable for chukars and Huns. I wouldn’t go without the dogs! You all have some beautiful hunting partners, I hope they shoot as good as they look

Browning 16 gauge and a Franchi 20 gauge. I recently purchased a Franchi in 16 gauge and had a good day for ducks with it, but no pix of upland hunting just yet. My kids are mostly all hunting now, hence the need for another O/U in the safe and in the outdoors.

Welcome to the site-a great place to be a “lurker”

Obviously the answers depend on what part of the world you live in. -and none of us can pick just one gun! I’m a big fan of the .300 wm and 180 gr bullets although I have several favorites. Since many places are banning lead bullet use, I believe the ttsx and other mono’s will continue to...

The Dangerous Game by Walter Prothero is newer and good reading. Finding a trade copy might be tough

Nuts. . . Maybe you could give us just a bit more information about yourself

Let’s just say for conversation sake that I want the rifle, base and rings and no use for the scope. (Even tho it is cool and possibly a Collectors piece)-Would you consider such an idea? What price would you be asking for just the rifle?

Had a good buying experience with JohnD29. I had to have my wife handle the Venmo part and I was at work for a couple days. He was patient and didn’t call me a scammer or a thief or a murderer. Just patiently gave Me time to make arrangements. Job well done and a happy customer

That sends my ocd off the chart!:E Horrified:

Welcome from a neighbor to the east. Glad you found us and look forward to seeing more of your work in the future

Doesn’t influence what caliber I buy as much as how much/how often I go shooting. I do load my own which also influences these and other life altering decisions

Welcome Mr. Fisher, glad you found us!

Saw this while watching March Madness. Made my heart sad-always lined his life story. I hope he and his family can find peace and happiness moving forward-

A very cool offer-I wish I was in the market but confident these are beyond my reach. Thanks for posting them, I hope the OP can make a square deal with the seller

Gambels, Scaled quail, two kinds of doves and band tailed pigeons. Mearns quail are my favorite gamebird! Turkeys and grouse in the high mountains. You haven’t scratched the surface and trust me on this-Arizona is world class for all those species. Glad you found this site, a great place to...

Love that old lion with a permanent underbite snarl and what appears to be a tumor/scar tissue on his spine. Job well done. Impressive work on the elephants as well-not only the shooters but the camera man to be commended!

Love the career choices-Welcome to the forum!

A couple days of blizzards with wind and snow and today it is cold. The skiers are celebrating and we all needed the water. In like a lion-out like a lamb. . . Hope the hurricanes didn’t hurt any of you too terribly!
