Recently I posted up a humourous hunting story concerning my brothers and am very curious to hear if anyone else has witnessed some of their own. Please use aliases - if appropriate - to protect the unfortunate. Thanks.

Hi all, I'll make this brief, as I'm totally pissed off!! I'm 2hrs away from boarding for my buff and PG hunt in SA. The SAA Manager (a self-confessed hunter) asked if my ammo was factory or hand loads. I naturally said hand loads. He then categorically stated reloads are NOT allowed on SAA...

Hello all, Forgive me if this sounds a bit disjointed, but I'm writing this on the go! I must bring to your attention to today's online headlines of The Mirror (see: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/wealthy-brit-revealed-one-most-14151635.amp) where the "Campaign to ban trophy hunting" has...

Hi all, I'd like to get some information from any members who may know something about the model and history of this rifle I’ve had for a number of years, some photos of which accompany this post. I have a BSA .22 Hornet and as far as I know it’s still in original condition from manufacture...

PH in Zim watching developments just texted me one word: "Pambereeeeeee!" Just checked the news online and CNN have posted up this headline 4 minutes ago: Robert Mugabe resigns after 37 years as Zimbabwe's leader Harare, Zimbabwe (CNN)Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe has resigned, the...

Reading some of these posts recalled an amazing experience I and my son had a few years ago in Zimbabwe, and would like to share with you guys. My family were spending a few days game viewing, and in that camp I spotted an lovely old rifle in one corner. Over the days in talking with the ex-PH...

G'day all! Not sure if this is the right area to post this, but here goes! Just having a thought about the recent furore and opposition by the "anti gun/hunting" mob towards President Trump rolling back the laws concerning importing elephant trophies, and putting this out for your info and...

Hi All, Just want a bit of advice. I've got a late buffalo hunt booked for early December in Zim, and am debating whether or not to proceed. In light of recent events, does any PH or recent clients know/have advice of what the situation is like for clients over there right now? Thanks.

G'day all, Has anyone hunted buffalo in the Hwange Consul area (north of the Nat Park and south of the Matetsi Units) recently? I'm planning my first buffalo hunt, and I'd like some advice of the area and quality of trophies. Thanks! Timbo
