I'm still getting synched to the time change and my wife handed me a massive honey do jar. I hope to add to this later but suffice it to say I had a blast. Hunted 3 properties with a great PH Johan and after 4 years finally got my baboon. Day 1 off to the range to check my zero and after a...

Time to take your business elsewhere but be sure to tell them why they lost your business. Money talks https://www.dallasnews.com/business/business/2018/02/22/enterprise-alamo-national-will-no-longer-give-nra-members-discounts-car-rentals

Hey All Would anyone know of a tannery in the Eastern Cape around Port Elizabeth that also does European mounts? Thanks

on the whole not terrible coverage http://nationalpost.com/opinion/trophy-hunting-is-macabre-but-it-may-also-be-endangered-species-best-hope-for-survival#comments-area Trophy hunting has been making the news lately. On Monday, British Columbia announced that it is banning grizzly bear...

https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/south-africas-zuma-loses-court-battle-on-bribery-charges/article36583789/ South African President Jacob Zuma has tumbled into deeper legal trouble on corruption charges after an appeal court issued a devastating ruling against the prosecutors who had...

Has anyone booked through SAA JFK-- JNB-- East London? Were your firearms checked through to ELS or do you have to clear SAPS in Jberg first? Thanks

Mental Midget Zuma is going to find out the hard way that most of those farmers had compulsory military training, far better than the current crop he commands. South African president seeks power to expropriate white-owned land without compensation Stuart Graham, The Telegraph 03.04.2017...

Another successful hunt at SS Pro Safaris but still no baboon( 0 for 3). Saw my first mamba run over 3 times by the outfitter just to make sure. Against the advice of a much more experienced member I did the Mountain Reedbuck, I'm far too old for that. The Gemsbok was very old, worn tips and...

I can't find anything online but the wife of Scott Van Zyl of SS Pro Safaris said about 40 homes have been destroyed. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206540611907970&set=pcb.10206540631668464&type=3&theater very hot dry conditions making things very bad thoughts and prayers for those...

Hi All, I have developed a deer load for my 7mm mag using 110gr TTSX at 33oofps <0.5 MOA. How big an animal (africa) would you take with this combo given Barnes don't splatter on impact? Thanks

Hey all, I would like to ask your opinion of where the best baboon hunting is to be found. Preferably a place where they are closer than 500 yds Thanks

I just returned from a successful hunt with Scott Van Zyl SS Pro Safaris. To say that this was the best hunt and experience of my life is an understatement. Scott runs a very professional operation and you are not treated as only a client but like family. Scott has his own farm but hunts...

Well folks I'll be making the 3 hr drive to Montreal today and fly out of Atlanta tomorrow. This will be my first shorts and tee shirt hunt as I stupidly figured Limpopo was going to be like the EC. Live and learn. 10 day hunt with SS Pro Safaris and the camp is an idyllic location right next...

I'm off to Limpopo at the end of the month and by all the forecasts it is going to be hot 88F. It has been colder that a witches tit here, just the kind of weather I was hoping for to go hunting. Looks like any hopes I had about snakes hiding in their holes to avoid the cold just went out the...

I understand that g's custom bullets are very costly but the cost of a couple boxes of bullets is trivial on a hunt. I'm interested in how they perform compared to Barnes, hornady or nosler mono metal bullets. I can easily get Barnes to shoot but have never shot anything but paper. Personal...

Call me a wimp but I despise getting the snot kicked out of me while practicing. I recently discovered Hodgdon trailboss loads and they make shooting any rifle seem like a pellet gun. https://www.hodgdon.com/PDF/Trail-Boss-Reduced-Loads R_P.pdf No range fatigue, bench bruises and you can...

Forgive me father for I have sinned and am going to Africa yet again. I blame all of you for my illness but in a good way. If it were not for all of you who helped me last time I likely would not have gone. Now I am addicted. This spring I'm off to Limpopo and I gather it is completely...

Hi All I'm looking for some advice and perhaps a QuickLoad model. I'm trying to get my Nosler 160 accubond velocity up. Currently I'm getting 2748 (pathetic) out of a 24" barrel. Hell I'm getting 2800 out of my 20" 308 with a 150 Barnes. BTW factory 150 core-lokts are doing 3030 Win Brass...

Has anyone here used 130gr TTSX in a 300 or 300 short? They shoot very well and are laser flat Thanks

http://www.infowars.com/united-nations-to-propose-global-lead-ammo-ban/ It isn't for waterfowl hunting (note the sneaky "migratory species"). My source tells me they want lead remediation at "all" ranges. That will put almost all local ranges out of business and make it illegal to target...

Hey All I can get real cheap flights from Canada to East london but they go through London, the firearms phobia capital of the world. Can I ship my guns to JBerg and collect them there from a lockup? Thanks

Enjoyed myself so much I'm going back next year. This time I'll be bringing my guns but was told to leave the exotic calibers at home (300WSM) in case my luggage was lost. Therefore I'm bringing my 20" 308 and a 243. The ammo shortage extends to bullets as well so these are the loads I have...

Just got back from my first Africa hunt (Kubusi booked through EAI). Still a little jet lagged but I had a great time. I hunted both properties and they couldn't have been more different hunting conditions. Both are high fence but this is no shooting gallery, you have to work. Glen Boyd is a...

A little tardy on my part. I consider Gary to be one of the most honest and decent politicians I have ever met. It is rare that these individuals ever get the recognition they deserve but it happens now and again. I'm pleased to be able to call Gary a friend. GARRY BREITKREUZ, M.P...

Well I've booked my first African hunt and will leave in 3 months. I'd like to thank everyone here for your help, suggestions and encouragement. Still not sure if I will bring my guns or rent (I hate Canadian paperwork). I booked through EAI Outdoors. Being my first time I felt more secure...

Hi All, First post and seeking advice. I'm planning my first hunt to South Africa and would like your opinions on the Eastern Cape vs Limpopo. Only interested in the impala, gazelle, hyena/jackel and warthog species and have no desire for large or dangerous game. My primary interest is the...
