    Partition 416 : any opinion?

    2 one shot kills with 400 gr Nosler partitions in 416 rem mag this year in Uganda for Nile buff. One was a frontal shot. Both bullets were recovered and performed perfectly. One shot was 50 yards the other 80. Originally was looking for SAF, but couldn’t find them.

    TANZANIA: Has Anyone Hunted With Michel Mantheakis Safaris?

    Hunted with him in January. 14 days on a 21 day license in Masailand. The place is top notch and the hunting and game areas are out of this world. Highly recommend!

    Game prices plummeting in RSA

    The outfitters get paid by us in dollars and their expenses are paid in Rand. They are doing fine.

    Dollar vs Rand: Impact on Trophy Prices and Daily Rates?

    Great thread! I agree that done deals should never be renegotiated. However, US hunters have more leverage than ever with the current exchange rate. The bottom line is that our money is worth more and should be able to buy more. It's that simple. That with the reduced cost of fuel should...

    Taxidermy Base Ideas

    Do not just put sand in the base! You will be dealing with loose sand on your floors for the rest of your life. I make all my own bases to save some expense and also because it is fun. First, cut 3/4 plywood to your dimensions, and reinforce underneath so it does not warp. Make sure you put...

    Layover in Johannesburg advice

    I would do stay at African Sky. It is worth the money and it absolutely first class. The gun permitting system is also convenient and seem less. The other thing I would consider is moving your flight up to a later one to PE. Get some rest and relax. The harder you push the travel envelope...

    Death of Zimbabwe’s Best-Loved Lion Ignites Debate on Sport Hunting

    I would not waste my time even attempting to argue with this guy. It is a losing battle as he would not have the mental capacity to change his mind even when confronted with concrete facts. A long time ago, someone said, something to the effect that it is impossible to use facts to change...

    I would venture to say that the Sharpes is probably the hardest of the tiny ten to attain. At least for me it was.

    A question for the Professional Hunters, European hunters and African hunters...

    A big brownie for sure. It's a tough hunt as the weather is usually miserable in the best places but the element of true danger is definitely there and a Big Brown bear is just freaking huge....you truly don't ever know how big there are until you approach him in real life.

    Hunting Brown Bear in Russia

    There are several US outfitters who have been doing these trips to Kamchatka for many years and have worked out a lot of the bugs. When Kamchatka first opened, it seemed like every outfitter and their mother were running hunts over there. Too many outfitters, without in country knowledge and...
