    I search for an Ammunition Belt...

    I have been using the Murray leather ammo pouch for several years and multiple hunts. May not look as cool as a culling belt, but I have never worried about loosing rounds and the more I use them, the better they look and function.Learned on two 21 day safaris in the Selous; when I leave the...

    TANZANIA: Just Back From The Selous In Tanzania

    The buffalo in the picture was taken with my Winchester Model 70 in .375 H&H. I was shooting Barnes TSX on the first shot and Swift A Frame as a follow up. I like the penetration of the first and the larger wound channel of the second. I was able to take a second buffalo at 20 yards with my...

    TANZANIA: Just Back From The Selous In Tanzania

    The feedback that we got from the PH's is that the poachers have had a real impact on the population. This real issue is that they are mostly killing cows and calves. They do not feel that the poachers have had much of an impact on the big bulls. Our safari was the second of the season, and it...

    TANZANIA: Just Back From The Selous In Tanzania

    I appreciate your attitude towards the Bushbuck. It is the "special" of the safari. This is the 20th season for my PH hunting in the Selous. This is his first one. We were walking a hippo trail along a dry creek bed when it popped out close to 200 yards down the creek. Confirms my belief that...

    TANZANIA: Just Back From The Selous In Tanzania

The rains were heavier than normal this year and a lot of water holes that would normally be dry by now are still holding water. Here are...

    Has anyone hunted in the "tactical style" or military style desert boots?

    My Courtney stretched a bit and felt like my heal was sliding off to the side. Not so great when you are in the sand.

    Has anyone hunted in the "tactical style" or military style desert boots?

    Heading back to The Selous next August. Looking for new boots. Both my Courtney and Russell boots were less than satisfactory. I have been looking at the several different makes of the desert boots like the Dannar Jackel. Thoughts? Experiences?

    Tour Operators & Conservator Urge Elephant Hunting Ban Tanzania

    James is right on. There have to be incentives to stop the cooperation with the poachers. I continue to be amazed at the thought process of the anti hunters. You would think that the tour operators would follow the lead of others with a vested interest and build in a fee or solicite donations...

    I search for an Ammunition Belt...

    Ammo/Culling belt I have been looking high and low for the belt that is on the front cover of Craig Boddington's book, Safari Rifles II. You can bearly see it, but I have found nothing like it on the web. Anyone else seen it?

    Hello from South Texas

Looking forward to learning from others and have an way to deal with excitement for the next year and a half. I am going to the Dallas Safari Club convention on Thursday and can't...
