Welcome from a fellow Alabamian, Debbie!!

Excellent offering, Marius! Someone could get a great opportunity with this!

Excellent photos and animals!! I agree with Enysse....awesome Kudu!!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions fellas! I see that Nosler has announced 338-06 A Square brass for 2011 so no more issues with properly headstamped brass (although Norma/Weatherby offers it). The 250RN is just something I'd like to try and see what happens. I suppose it is just the...

I've long admired your abilities and dedication to the sport, Olivia! All the best of luck and keep the world of outdoors and hunting at the forefront for women!

Well, I finally got my rifle back from PacNor!! I'm very pleased with it and will begin breaking in the barrel tomorrow. I'm taking a couple of days vacation so I can go out and see what she'll do. I'll start out with just some 225gr SST's to break in the barrel and then move to a 225 Accubond...

Looks like a worthy cause! Hopefully this brings a lot of money/support for the little boy. Thanks for posting, Marius!

Here is the direct link to the plains game targets. https://www.safaripress.com/product.php?productid=936&cat=300&page=1

I believe Phil has it right and that we in the US are use to pricing for a specific animal or animals on a hunt here in North America. As a consumer myself a package offering from the outfitter seems to be the easiest thing to consider. Perhaps once a pkg is selected the hunter can then talk...

Excellent trophy, Ian!! I can't imagine seeing 1300+ buffalo and then another 250 elephant!

Bullhunter, There are several good sources for ammo and culling belts. I don't know anything about the specific one you have linked but it looks nice. Here are couple of other sources but they may beyond your targeted budget: Purveyor to the African hunter African Sporting Creations

Simply beautiful trophies, Christophe!! Thanks for posting the photos.

Those are great looking specimens!! Hope you get the hunts filled!

*Pack your camera, lens, and storage devices, in your carry-on luggage/backpack. *Place an extra set of your gun case keys in your wallet if you have your primary key on a key chain. That way if you lose your key chain you still have a key to open the gun case without cutting the locks...

Welcome to AH! I plan to be there and look forward to meeting a lot of nice people.

Stunning! I'll never be able to afford an elephant hunt but these "home movies" of regular Joe hunters is really cool! I can see why PH's are some of the most respected and admired hunters in the world.

Welcome to AH, Ken!! You'll learn a lot here and the people are super friendly and supportive!

As someone who doesn't pack a big wallet, I like to see a set up with a couple of representative animals (don't bring your largest samples), easy access to brochures and pricing, plus a welcoming face. Simple conversation and a subtle sell are preferred over the "in your face" approach some...

Stunning and a very original idea!! Beautiful work by the taxidermist as well!! :)

Congratulations on such fine animals! Having your family along surely made it more memorable as well.

Seems pretty obvious and clear to me in the photo.

Welcome to the forums, George. You are in great company here as I learning with each new day reading the boards and website. Scott

Kudu 55.5" Eland 39.25" Wildebeeste 28" Warthog 12.75"

I'll probably be over gunned but I plan to take my 338-06 on a plains game hunt. I realize that I could get by with .280 or 30-06 but since this is my first, and probably last, trip to Africa I want to be sure to have plenty of backbone in my loads. I plan to use either the 200gr Accubond and...

Christian - it is the first step in amending the ESA to remove the gray wolf as endangered. It isn't!! They were brought in from Canada and the gray wolf is nowhere near extinction as they are all over Canada and Alaska. H.R. 6028: To amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to prohibit...

Wolves, especially in Canada, can get extremely large. This may be rare in size but this shows why/how wolves are capable of killing moose, domestic cattle, elk, etc. Idaho is about to become overrun with wolves, Montana has problems in the western regions of the state and Wyoming is being hit...

LOL!! Love the aged look on Barbie!

Definitely a high scoring non-typ! Too bad it is a tame one.....as tame as a city dweller mule deer can be I mean. :)

Welcome to AH, John!! This is truly an amazing place with very kind people. I'm still new and have been reading as much as I can. As you noted, there is a wealth of info and knowledge here. Scott

Fantastic trophies, photography, and just a classic rifle in with Ruger #1!!

Cape Buffalo Eland (book) Kudu (book)

Probably the .375 Ruger since its introduction several years ago. Before that....the .257 Roberts

I believe that is $5000 per person, 1 PH for both of you, and each person gets to shoot 5 animals each

I enjoy these: .280 Rem .30-06 .338 Win Mag* *I sold my .338 WM and am having a 338-06 built. I still get the use of .338 bullets but without the belt and the punishment. :)

Just playing with the artistic aspect of my rod & reel in the trout stream.

Hello CJ! Now that is a fantastic idea and offer for those that cannot film their hunt and trip. This will be a tremendous service for countless hunters and their companions!

Love the photos and truly admire your desire to become a PH!! Best of luck to you, Sandra. Scott

Hello David and welcome to the AH forums. Being a native SA I am sure you can provide a lot of insight to those of us living in other countries.

Welcome to AH! I'm new here as well but I wanted to say hello! Please post some photos and details of your recent hunts!

My first ever elk. A nice 6x6 taken on the front range in northern Colorado.

This is what were heading into for a week of hunting in the mountains.

Heading out of the high country.

Glassing for deer after a snow storm.

Funny you mentioned the headstamp...I actually have Weatherby brass stamped 338-06. Your other point about availability is the one I would be most concerned with. I have been considering purchasing a Ruger M77 African in .375 Ruger. That may be more practical and shipping my ammo ahead of...

Have any of you had experience with the .338-06 in Africa? If I get to hunt there I plan to use it with a 210gr and 250gr Partition, depending on the animal. I don't plan on hunting anything larger than a Kudu so I presume my rifle will be more than sufficient. If you only had one choice on...

Thank you so much, Christian!! It is so nice to see a young hunter so involved in hunting like you are. I hope to film a friend on a lion hunt in Idaho next spring. I also hope to take my first black bear next spring as well. Hunting out west, especially in the mountains, is truly a memorable...

Hi Charly - good powders in the '06 with 150 bullets are RL19 and IMR4350. Both of those should get you around 2800-3000 with a 150gr bullet, depending on your barrel length and the actual bullet itself. Scott

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and as you can see, my username is my actual name. :) I've hunted the southeast for waterfowl, deer, and turkey my entire life but have been venturing out with hunts in the western US. I've already taken a 6x6 bull elk (my avatar) and harvested my...
