Is it ‘all over’ for sport hunting in these countries? It was a bucket list destination for me to hunt roan, kob and buffalo but looks like I need to tip it from my bucket. Looks like it would’ve been a great hunt, wild and untouched.

Righto AH family, if one wanted to hunt roan, klipspringer, honey badger and catch a tigerfish, where would that be possible :unsure:

Hi Everyone, I have just returned from our Northern Territory where I have spent the last, hmmmm, 10 weeks. I got out of my state of Victoria just as our Premier announced yet another lockdown. We got to the South Australian border with 15 minutes to spare before our lockdown began. Anyway I...

It was great to finally pick up the last animals from our trip with Marius @ KMG Hunting Safaris in 2018. These 2 were the reason for the trip but ended up adding a hippo, blesbok and a EC kudu. My wife also took her first big game animal, a blesbok, on this trip as well. Thanks to ph Marty...

Just thought I'd post some pics of some of my hunting here in Oz.

Just picked up my deceased mates Sako AV in 375H&H. He used it as a client rifle in his Aussie Buffalo camp so is a little worse for wear. Just gave it a tidy up and still chasing a mag spring and follower. My Model 70 Alaskan has donated such bits for the moment. Looking forward to taking it...

Hi everyone, just back from the Top End of Australia after a long time locked down with Covid19. As soon as our region was open to the NT I booked tickets to visit my daughter and get a bit of Magpie Goose shooting in. This time of the year it is very hot and humid with just occasional storms to...

Hi all, A friend has just taken delivery of a new Chapuis in 470NE. It's a stunner and he will put it to good use over the next couple of years. I just have a question to ask current Chapuis owners, does your rifle still have the regulating wedge sticking out from between the muzzles? Cheers...

Hi everyone, how does one hunt species like Thomson's and Grant's gazelle as well as lesser kudu economically? I mean not a full bag, 21 day safari. Can it be done? Cheers, Mark.

Just taken delivery of my re-chambered Kimber Classic 8400 in 30-06 to 300H&H. Goes well with my Select Classic in 300WM.

Hunted this guy just on 3 1/2 years ago with Jacques at Kowas Safaris in Namibia. Memorable trip taking friends for their first African Safari.

Just loading up some of the hydro's in for my 450NE (480gr) and 416RM (400gr). The .416's have done the job before and I'm sure the .450's will also... Cheers, Mark.

Just wondering, are these available for elephant in Namibia? Cheers, Mark.

Hi everyone, Can anyone shed some light on these or are they not out in the public domain yet? file:///C:/Users/Mark/Downloads/Leica_SO_Pi_FORTIS-6_0219_EN.pdf

Finally got some mounts back from our trip with Kowas Safaris in 2016. A few still to come.....

Hi guys, We are considering a trip to either Burkina Faso or Benin down the track and have a couple of questions about flying there... Have people flown Etihad Airlines, Turkish Airways, Air France or KLM with firearms and ammunition? Has anyone transited through Abu Dhabi, Casablanca...

Hi everyone, Blacks has begun his report of our trip, and a good one so far, and much more detailed than my version will be. I just arrived home today from our latest African adventure and what an adventure it was. My wife, Lauren, and I along with blacks and his family originally booked a 7...

Hi everyone, Not my rifle but saw it at my local dealer today. Calibre is 250-3000 built on what appears to me to be a M96. Cock on closing is what I based this on. Thumb cutout appears to have been filled in and was built by E.Dark and Sons who I believe were in Melbourne, Australia way back...

Ok, so I am keen to hunt western savanah buffalo and roan. What are the real world conditions regarding safety for an Aussie wanting to hunt Burkina Faso? Welcome your replies... Cheers, Mark.

Ok, so Tim (Blacks), myself, our wives and Tim's 2 girls are off to annoy Marius and the team at KMG next July. We booked a fair way out and finally it's under a year until we smack down in Port Elizabeth. Can't wait.....:E Dancing::E Dancing::E Dancing::E Dancing: We have both just locked away...

Went out last weekend to look for a mob of hogs that I know have been frequenting some wheat stubble country a long way from the river country they usually may be found. A trio of boars taken with my Winchester M70 in 300H&H and Woodleigh 180gr PP that I'm considering for my next trip to Africa.

As the title says???

Hi everyone, don't post a lot here but enjoy it a lot. Some of the reports you guys put up remind me of my (too few) trips to the African continent so I thought I'd better put up a brief report of a fabulous trip we had with the Strauss family and their crew at Kowas that we undertook this time...
