A shameless plug for Elgin Ritter and the Ritter Safari Adventures team. They were just named the Middle East and Africa "BEST". I have personally used Elgin's team to plan trips to the Caprivi, the Coast, the mountains of the Erongo and coming up in 2024, Luderitz, the Fish River and...
Had a first ever catastrophic case failure today. Bloodied my nose, couple powder burns under my right eye and burns on my right thumb. Model 700 Rem in .243. 43gr of 4831 and an 85 gr Sierra Spitzer. Bullet did leave the barrel. Must have damaged something because I cannot chamber a new...
I have a friend who is a great woodworker so we had a discussion about eland horns for my fireplace hearth and here they are. Also some wall sconce oryx horn decorations.
I learned rather surprisingly yesterday that I need coronary bypass surgery. Probably today. I am a great believer in the power of prayer and I would appreciate yours for a successful procedure and smooth recovery. Besides, I don't want to have to cancel my 1st Cape Buffalo hunt scheduled for...
My 89 y/o father, who in our hunting group, was known as "Deadeye" for obvious reasons died on Sunday morning. He loved to hunt and was looking forward to PA's bear season. The photo shows the scene when I went to his basement the morning after. His Mdl 722 Rem in .300 Sav w/ Redfield...

The two vertical white shining streaks immediately grabbed my attention because they looked so out of place until I realized it was the horns of the eland bull we had been tracking. The late afternoon sun at my back illuminated the horns like two white glow sticks. Seconds earlier the tracker...
Asking for a friend.....need a recommendation for women's pants? She is a full figured lady, needs hip space and is 5'6". Normally wears a 16 -18 in USA sizes. Trip is Sep in Namibia.
I had my first buffalo hunting conversations with some outfits at SCI last week. I would like to hear from anybody who has used Barnes bullets for buffalo? I have a healthy supply of 300gr and no supply of Swift A Frames. So in case I don't acquire the Swift brand, I would like to know if the...
Slightly used (3x) to check fit and comfort. Fit great and comfortable but the narrow sole is not kind to my weak left ankle. Paid $311 after the 25% off sale at the local Sportsman Warehouse. Asking $275 and I will cover the shipping. PM if interested.
On my recent trip to Namibia the PH and his family busted my chops pretty hard about my Orbic flip phone because they can't send me What's App messages / photos and email is not their preferred method of communications. I am a current Verizon customer but want to have the flexibility of using my...
Departed Dulles via Ethiopian on June 1. No guns since I was traveling with my wife and 84 y/o mother. The trip was really about showing Mom what I have been raving about for years, Africa in all its wild splendor. The trip laid out this way. Arrive June 2 at Ritter Safaris - Woltemade...
Just purchased tickets for Namibia in June 2021. First time using Qatar Airways. Any suggestions on which lounges might be better for a shower and nap given the 10 hour layover? My wife and mother (84) are along so I want to make sure she is comfortable on the long trip. Route of flight...
Does anyone have any experience with taxidermists in Namibia? After reading the thread in another section regarding costs of shipping, I wanted to explore another option. Thanks in advance.
I have been a member for awhile but haven't participated much until now. A few months back I won a Weatherby Lazerguard .300 WMag. I always wanted a .375 H&H. Well I just traded for a Win Mod 70 in .375. It came with a box of Fed Cape Shocks 300gr Swift A-Frames. I put a Leupold VX6HD 1-6...
