    Tell me about APNR elephant...and Caprivi "own use" elephant

    Not that I could afford it, but I'm growing pessimistic about bringing home any ivory. What a burden we take on as Americans; telling Africa how to manage her wildlife. You Africans could at least help by telling us how to manage our wildlife too... I'm considering either an APNR (sharing an...

    Building an African-style fire pit

    I'm done with my America-style fire pit and want a flat-topped one like they had at the camp in RSA. I enjoy using my potjkie pot and a flat surface works better for me. What do I do, just fill this sucker with cement or are there some cautions and advice I should hear first?

    Any US agents still send brochures?

    Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): Any US-based agents willing to send a couple hunt brochures my way? I took my father to RSA in '13 and we had a blast. I took a buff, zebra, and some plains game and he, as an observer, took a Blue Wildebeest. Hunting was good, as expected, but our highlights...

    2016 Options?

    Looking for inputs… My father joined me for a very enjoyable hunt in RSA in 2013. I took a buffalo with my 458 WM and a few PG animals. Our little retirement cottage/house is pretty well full as far as trophies go, so I won’t bring home anything but skull mounts and such in the future (the...
