    Pump action rifles in Africa

    Christian The reason why no pump actions? maybe very few hunters that come to Africa own one/ or they own other guns? I have been guiding for 22 years now and can only recall one hunter that ever brought one over and that was maybe 14 years ago. Nothing wrong with them I guess, and it is...

    31 Rhinos Killed in SA !!!! ( ONLY IN AFRICA :-( )

    I guess this is the way to go for all Rhino farmers!!! If the users get scared they might die, there will be less poaching, maybe the demand will drop ! I had my last stats wrong we are up to 188 in SA thus far! Hopefully there is a lot of poison amongst them!

    Mark Sullivan kicked out of SCI

    I have met him - I must however admit that to sit and watch a whole video gets pretty boring, - BUT he never could have made any of his videos without some very BAD shots made by clients that wounded the animals in the first place! Have anybody ever thought that what is showed only tells the...

    458 Winchester Magnum, more powerful than 458 Lott?

    Oscar What I know about Impala bullets is the following ; One normaly would shoot a lighter bullet than normal as the quality is very good and you don't need a heavy bullet to get very good performance. The article does not state what weight bullets was used in the Win mag and the Lott, but I...

    Eland Bull Dominance

    100% spot on Andries I have on many occations in the bush seen and heard the same "clicking" from Eland and can confirm that it is the hooves making it as you explained. I can also confirm that adult cows hooves will make the same clicking sound when walking or at a slow trot - so nothing...

    Fences and Lions

    Fences and Lions

    This is my view: It looks like we lost my post on this. There are NO huntable free roaming lion in SA that is not fenced in one way or another. By law no Lion can be released on public or unfenced land. Since the Regulations pertaining to lion hunting changed it is tied up in a...
