Does anyone have any experience of these rounds, specifically in 7x57 150gr but feedback from other calibers welcome! Thanks.

I have a Heym SR20 which when I bought it did not have any studs for attaching rifle sling swivels to. I cannot find the part and I contacted Heym in Germany and they don’t make them anymore. Perhaps someone stateside is able to source them and I will pay for them and postage? Images attached of...

I’ve just got back from spending a few days up in the Scottish highlands stalking red hinds on Rhiedorrach Estate in Glenshee. The estate pretty much borders Balmoral and is a traditional Scottish shooting estate. There were 3 of us who went up but that number seems to have grown already for a...

A few caught on the Eastern Cape the other week.

I first met my friend Gareth in 2007 at school, as he was over for a year from South Africa. Life and COVID got in the way of some attempts to meet up in SA but finally the stars aligned and flights were booked. I landed on the Saturday evening into East London and we drove to my friends beach...

I’ve just returned from a successful 3 day trip to Hungary stalking wild boar. We saw or heard wild boar every night, managing to shoot 3 but we were unlucky to not shoot more, though lucky to get 2 young Keilers on the very first evening. The ground, animals, hospitality, food and guides all...

Well, as a few of you will have seen in another thread, thanks for the kindness of a forum member on here an Englishman was able to cross the pond for his first ever hunt in North America. I drove up from Denver to meet up with the motley crew who I would be staying and hunting with for the...

Hi Everyone, I am going to be in Joberg with work w/c 11th November. I would like to add on a couple of days while I am over to do some hunting. Cull animals only and just for a couple of days. Please let me know if anyone has any short break end of season deals going. I don’t want to take...

Ive just put in for a deer and antelope tag in WY. Should I be drawn, this will be my first hunting trip to the states! Stay tuned for the write up which will follow.

I am fortunate that a very kind member of the forum has invited me to join him for a hunt in Wyoming this Oct. Should I be successful, id like to get a skull mount done and shipped back to the UK. Does anyone have a taxidermist they recommend?Im flying out of Denver, so down that way could...

All, Just a message to say that anyone with spare time to kill on their trips through London are more than welcome to drop me PM. I live in London and am happy to meet up for a drink and talk shooting, else offer advise on something you may want to do. Cheers, Tom

interested to hear reviews and feedback from anyone who has hunting moose in Newfoundland? I’ve been recommend Notch Mountain Outfitters if anyone has any info on them? Thanks!

A few videos from the Fallow rut on my ground in England.

All, Does anyone have any infomation on taking a rifle into Zimbabwe for a hunting safari? The UK has an embargo on Zimbabwe, which includes sporting rifles. Same for any EU country I believe. I assume people still take their own rifles with them, so must be a way to do it? IE land in Joberg...

I don't normally add any words to the pictures I share on here but I felt this one more than warranted one of two.. First off, a massive thank you to a good friend of mine who very kindly invited me to join him for a couple of outings stalking Red stags. I have been going out with him the last...

Id be interested to know if anyone has paid to have their hunt filmed? If they would be kind enough to share the cost it would be much appreciated. Ive thought about doing this instead of bringing home trophies. Thanks!

A perfect example of hunting and conservation hand in hand.

I'm interested in how people set-up their animals, themselves, etc. for taking the best trophy photo's. One tip I have is always try and get the horns or antlers with sky behind them in the photo to make them stand out more. I look forward to everyones tips..

Hi Guys, Im sure many on here like me watch hunting videos on YouTube. I was just wondering who you watch? I know there are a few hunting channels on there. Tom

I thought I would start a little thread with how my Ibex mount is coming along. Here is the whole process step by step so far! Mine in the middle now drying... The next instalment will be of it up on my wall! Hope you all enjoy the time line.

Please share your mounts of birds from around the globe... I will kick things off with my first ever English Partridge I had stuffed.

I am curious as to whether outfitters would entertain the idea of a reduced rate on a hunting safari if the hunter paid in full at the time of booking?

Drones seem to me to be a more economical method of game counting than by helicopter. I am curious as to whether this has been considered or is in operation? Or even for anti-poaching.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge on the matter, however, as I have witnessed and understand elephants are a huge problem in areas of Africa. So why are they so expensive to hunt? Surely if governments wanted to manage populations, provide more food to local people and perhaps jobs as a...

Location: Spain Dates: 22/11/15 – 25/11/15 Target Species: Beceite Ibex Hunting season: October – May (rut during November to mid-December) Beceite Ibex: The Beceite Ibex inhabits the mountains of Tortossa and Beceite. It is the largest of all the Spanish Ibex in body size and horn length...

Coming out on the 28th October on Discovery.. http://www.discoveryuk.com/shows/blood-lions-bred-for-the-bullet/

From AH Photo Gallery… Please feel free to share your White Rhino pictures. I was lucky enough to see these magnificent animals in Zimbabwe, on a on-foot guided tour in Matobo Hills National park. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and got us within 10m of this mother and her calf. There...

Share your Blue Wildebeest pictures in this thread!

A recent radio programme investigating big game hunting in Africa. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b067x5w1

Is there a map or list thats shows what areas / provinces game is indigenous to, specifically SA? I understand many occur naturally throughout the country, I'm just looking for detail. Thanks in advance!

Do any of the outfitters or members on here make it over to any shooting shows, game fairs, etc in Europe, specifically England?

These Zebra came charging towards the truck and stopped looking back very nervously. When they passed by we drove a further 100m and found out why. They had spotted a pride of Lions in the distance. Their eye sight was very impressive.

Im just hoping someone can clear this up for me. I have noticed on hunts advertised on outfitters websites, magazines and on here that outfitters say that their animals are free-range or free-roaming, however, this hunting takes place on a fenced property? Now I understand a fence isn't going...

I thought I would share some pictures of my recent trip to Zimbabwe. The traveling group consisted of my dad, brothers and I. We hired a 4x4 and did a self drive safari camping as we went. The trip was fantastic and I would return in a heart beat. The local people are very friendly and helpful...

Im looking for a recommendation on a book for identifying and proving information on African game. What do you recommend?

So, as usual I'm sat dreaming of future hunts and how my animals will be mounted to fit in my trophy room. I came up with the following idea and think it is very unique and not something I have ever seen before. So my chosen animal would be a Zebra, but you may choose your own. Now picture that...

I realise this is short notice and not quite hunting related, however, I would appreciate any input and advise. So I am looking to get away end of this month (21st-31st) on a self drive 4x4 safari (no hunting). In terms of getting a flight this late at a reasonable cost and not spending 4 days...

As the title suggests really.. I would love the chance some day to make the trip across the pond and stalk in North America. Bearing in mind that I would only want to stalk native and truly wild animals (No fences) what is the most affordable species to stalk? Pronghorn antelope would appeal...

I was out with the camera and switched it onto video mode when I saw this lot. It's like they know they are out of season and safe.

I managed to shoot my biggest Muntjac buck to date last night. Im going to send him off to measured as I think he could be a medal buck. It was quick shot to take him as he was moving around in thick cover and was only presenting shots for a second at a time, so I had no idea how good he was...

In England the hunting of any animal with a bow is illegal and as such I have not had the chance to shoot one, be it at an animal or target. However, I would really like to give it ago the next time I'm in Africa. I understand that just picking up a bow and shooting it at an animal is not a...

Lets see your trophy rooms! There are so many amazing pieces of taxidermy posted on this site almost daily. Now, they all have to end up somewhere! I would love to see what people do with their stuff, dotted round the house? A trophy room? Any unusual mounts? Ill kick it off with mine...

Hi chaps, I have just built myself a biltong box and have a muntjac hanging waiting to be put to good use. Does anybody have any recipes they would recommend and the quantities needed? Cheers, Tom

Hi guys, Ive only hunted SA once, in the EC. On my return trip I think Bushbuck will at the top of the list. Now I would like to hunt a different part of SA to get to visit and experience more of the country and I am thinking the Limpopo. So this may sound like a silly question to some, but...

Now I could not afford to have any taxidermy done on my first safaris but instead opted for skulls and skin's which I think look great and are a very good cost effective way to have your trophy's mounted and less of the fear of how will my mounts turn out! When mounted along side a few pictures...

1st Roe buck of the season I managed this young buck last week. He came out of a piece of woodland to feed on the grass and bask in the sun. Sadly for him I had been watching him in the build up to the season and knew his territory. I was surprised by the amount of pearling on his antlers for...

Lets see your hunting companions! Here is mine..

The Roe buck season has started here today in England! I wont be taking any just yet as i have a friend from Spain coming over in May on a swap hunt.

I thought I would share with you my success last night in taking this nice Fallow buck. He wont make a medal but is a very nice representative head from here in England. I have some big bucks running round on the estate, and he was the smallest of bachelor herd he was in. There are the 4 main...
