Always said, the day I stop learning, is the day I hang up my hunting boots. This is the first time in my life that I found Warthogs sleeping in caves around 100 ft from the bottom. Although not a sheer cliff, in order to get to these caves, there is one way in and one way out. Only by one...
Good day sir,
Welcome to the forum. We are situated in the Eastern Cape. We will be able to assist with your request.
I have sent you a Private Mail here on the forum.
All the best,

Dear AH members,
We have just received notification of a cancellation hunt in our calendar for 2024. We have a bit of flexibility on the exact dates. Safari can be any length of time but needs to be conducted between 22-28 September 2024.
I have pre-booked and paid 2x Impala and 2x Cape Bushbuck...
Cody,
Are you looking for one that is already in the USA?
Sure I can find you one in good time. We have the odd one of them around our area here;)
Sure that we can find a way to get it to you if you were interested.
Kudu Friday! What an absolute tank of a bull. Notice the ivory up the frontside of the right horn. Our hunter needed most of his 10 day hunt to find this great Cape Kudu. The look on his face says it all!
Exhibited at the show for 7 years and never got back there after the Covid ordeal in 2020. We were very lucky to have our own group of anti hunters yearly, naming us by name to try and get us deported. I felt honored.
They were always cordoned off in the parking lot, and there was always a warm...
I shoot the 570gr Swift A Frames out of my 500 N.E. I don't think that you will go wrong with the NF, but will also say this. I can't make a distinction in effectiveness between the Swift A Frames and Rhino Solid Shanks. Actually quite proud for something of that quality to be coming out of...
Dave, we've heard about a lot of exhibitors that are unhappy. Personally, I think they are going to be surprised. I have a feeling Atlanta is going to be fire.
Looking forward to it.
Sometimes we only see the propped up photos, without paying thoughts to how the animal got to a nice clearing for a good photo. Themba is one of top guys in our organization. You will need to go a long way to find better eyes than him. Often its a simple mane sticking out from under brush, or a...
Phil, can't really add much to the thread in terms of what you are asking. Just remember that this is Africa. Had to explain the difference to the agent between snap caps and live rounds, and mine aren't the home made ones. These are the purple plastic ones. Constantly asked me to take the...
This Kudu bull carries his weight all the way to the top. He surprised us to the up side on the tape. Just shows again how much the thickness on the horns matter. Always eats the tape for an extra inch or three. Off course Boots, the Parson's Terrier had to photo bomb when there is a Kudu involved.
Hi Bryan,
I should be able to assist with these. Would just offer a word of caution to leaving Vaal Rhebuck too late. They inhabit some big mountains, as do Klipspringer :giggle:
Impala is probably the animal on every hunter's list when visiting Africa for the first time. They are prolific breeders and can be found in large herds in most areas. A mature ram should be square at the top, unless it has a genetic issue. The surest way to identify a mature ram is at the basis...
Plus, travelling from the USA, your ammo is in your checked luggage. Two years ago my hunter arrived with his rifle, a 416 Ruger, but his checked luggage went missing. We could not even find dies for the 416 Ruger to quickly load up some ammo for his trip. Subsequently shot his Buff with a...
Welcome to the forum, Tom. Below is a link of members that have written short reviews on sponsors of the website. There is also a Hunting Report section right here on the forum where you will find many first hand reports written...
The fact that there were live rounds even in the same building should be punishable. Who ever thought that having live rounds close to blanks for a movie set was a good idea.
H&H for sure. Love the extra performance on the Ruger, but when you travel, which is what your rifle will be for, you have to take ammo availability into consideration.
Not a recommendation at all. Just mentioned what I use personally.
Not sure if I missed it in the thread. Did you say that the Rhino's are attainable for you at home?
They are excellent, and can wholeheartedly recommend them. I shoot them in both my 375 and 416, in the 330gr and 430gr. Personally, I have not seen any difference in performance between them and Swift A Frame, which I use in my double.
This stallion was in amazing condition. We've had an enormous amount of rain which never gave the vegetation much time to change colour as can be seen here. This male almost had an extra shine to his coat.
The old boars aren't great eating. I would say best use for them is either in a stew or turn them into a smoked cheese sausage. One of those two options can be very tasty.
One of the animals that don't get enough recognition is the Warthog. We can tell so many stories of seeing monster pigs only to be advised that they are too "ugly." That is the entire point... A big pig can be a challenging proposition and should be a serious consideration if they run across...
Just an unbelievable Blue Wildebeest. This bull had quite a story and simply reminds us of how tough these animals are. This bull must have been wounded before as can be seen by the entrance hole where there is a lack of hair. On the opposite side, he had an infection which later proved to be a...
Manny, going to be honest and say upfront that I didn't read through the rest of the thread. Is this ammo that you have reloaded personally?
Had this issue with my 500 NE two years ago. It came to the fore that it was powder that was clumping inside the case, possibly due to moisture. If it is...
