Thank you for posting the article so we can still see it. The Gazette News has been taken down. Seems like someone in power does not like the truth to be told.

Have you had anyone try to get an import permit to the USA since USFWS changed its procedures recently? The USFWS revoked all previous rulings on "enhancement findings" on lions in RSA, Zim, and Zambia since they lost the lawsuit to SCI for improper rulemaking regarding their suspension of...

WINTERSHOEK SAFARIS

Where did this happen?

Sorry to hear this sad news. Condolences and prayers to the family. Rest in peace.

Prayers for Scott and his family! Wish all the best in finding him ok.

After several Namibia PH's had told me that they used dogs on declared PAC leopards as a means of safety, I did some more research. It appears that there is no official use of dogs for trophy hunts or for declared PAC leopards. Sorry for bringing it up, and trophy hunters should be aware not...

By the way, I just found James Jeffrey's orginal post of this incident on the Game Rangers Association of Namibia facebook page. It was posted by an ARA person. I am sure they are now reposting James original message across many ARA platforms about this incident, without having the facts...

Unfortunate to hear this news. But please do not throw the hunter or PH under the bus until actual knowledge of the facts are known. While it is true that Namibia does not allow trophy hunts for leopards with dogs, Namibia does allow the use of dogs for problem leopards. It is possible that...

Talk with your outfitter in advance as to how to pay for the balance of your trip when you are leaving camp. Some outfitters will take travelers cheques, but some will want to charge you a banking fee of up to 10% to 15% if you use travelers cheques. Probably better to make an escrow...

Airlines now are only allowing 50 pounds per bag without incurring additional cost for overweight. So time to get rid of the heavy luggage bags and get some really lightweight roller duffle bags. Some luggage cases are over 20 pounds before you start to put anything into them! Put a bright...

Notify your Bank, that has your credit cards, in advance of your travel itinerary as to where and when you will be outside the country. Otherwise they have "fraud control" that will put a hold on your card when you start to use it abroad. It can be cleared by calling them, but time zones...

PLAN on the airlines losing or delaying your checked baggage. It happens all the time. So take with you in your carry-on anything that is critical for your trip. Medications -some are hard to find outside the USA. Camera Video cam (airline won't insure the camera equipment in lost...

I hunt all over Africa every year for extended periods in many high Malaria areas. (Including some "malaria hot spots" in Tanzania). I have used Lariam (also called Mefloquine) for the past 12 years for 26 safaris and have not had any side effects. Have also used it on extended expeditions...

There are different hunts available to different hunters. What is wrong with that? You may like to do something different than me. It's Ok. Enjoy your own hunt. I will be happy for you because you are doing what you love to do with your life. Some hunters book a five day sable hunt...

Thanks Ray, There are many types of hunts available in the world. You have to choose what you want to do for yourself. What may be unethical for one person is normal for someone else. I have hunted lions in Tanzania on a 21 day hunt and have never hunted one in an enclosure, but others do...

Many of the animals have their own degree of difficulty and can vary from day to day. If we keep this topic in Africa here are my votes from hunting them as a primary target animal, not just by chance encounter while hunting something else: (not listed in any specific order) 1- Sitatunga...

Yes, it does look like TSA / HSA is trying to pass it off on some of the questions I had about powders and primers. But they did acknowledge in their response that they will allow reloaded ammunition to be taken in checked baggage. One of the issues that is happening at the airports is TSA...

reply from TSA / HSA re: powder and primers I just received a reply from the TSA / HSA from my request for clarification on what types of ammunition, powders and/or primers that are allowed to be transported in checked baggage. Although it is not as clear and definitive as I would have...

Hi Jerome, Is this the new regulations or is it just the proposed regulations that are being published for comment? After reading the regs, it will be a little more challenging and time consuming to apply and get the necessary permits. While it is unfortunate to have to do more paperwork...

ammunition, powder and TSA Hi Kelly, As most everyone knows, that traveling with blackpowder has always been prohibited on the airlines. And that is part of the issue here. My friend was asked if he had black powder" for his muzzleloader and he responded that he did not. He was...

In the United States, the TSA at the airports are now checking for muzzleloader powder or pellets as well as primers as they are prohibited from being in your luggage for travel on commercial aircraft. Can anyone post where we can purchase or get muzzleloader powder, primers and supplies in...
