    Eland Hunting

    I used a 30-06 with 180gr expandable bullets on Wildebeest along with Kudu, Blesbuck, and Eland. It did the trick but even with good shot placement we ended up tracking for 100 yards or so.

    Oh so confusing...is the 30-06 enough?

    I used a 30-06 with 180gr expandable bullets on Wildebeest along with Kudu, Blesbuck, and Eland. It did the trick but even with good shot placement we ended up tracking for 100 yards or so. My humble recommendation, if you can shoot the 375 accurately bring it.

    Limcroma Safaris 2018 Promotional video

    Amazingly well done video. Though it does not sum up the genuinely personalized and professional service you receive when booking with Limchoma. The last shot with the Cape Buffalo charge really shows the level of professionalism that you're working with. I would not want to be on a dangerous...

    Coppersmith

    I recently used coppersmith to get my trophies from South Africa to Chicago. I worked with Michael there and I could not have been happier. He was prompt thorough and was able to address all of my questions as a newbie shipping trophies from South Africa. I would highly recommend them

    Blurring hunters faces on trophy photos

    I personally am very torn on this as I am an avid Hunter and proud of my Sport and the conservation it provides. I also know there's a very real risk to posting pictures and names as seen in my home state. I like the proposals of ensuring that Outfitters are not doing any HTML name associations...
