    Companies that are Non-Supportive of Hunting

    This really needs posted all over the place. There are almost 27,000 members on this forum and the word must be spread to all of them. Hunters must send a clear message to Verizon on this. I switched to AT&T from Verizon today and it was really seamless. They bought out my Verizon plan so I did...

    Big Bore Addiction Group

    @matt85 I agree with the healing powers of getting your butt kicked behind a rifle. Today I launched 19 rounds from my Lott and really enjoyed it. 500 grain Northforks are shooting fine and I plan on trying out the Barnes Triple Shocks next. The pic is of 5 three shot rapid fire groups shot today.

    http://www.africahunting.com/threads/458-lott-loads.24881/ There are some good suggestions on this post. I have just started loading for my Lott and I am waiting on some warmer weather to try out some 500 grain Northforks.

    458 Lott Loads

    OK what is up with Northfork? I went on their site to order some sample packs as they are on sale. When I went to check out the sale price was not reflected when it was time to pay. I sent an email to them so hopefully it gets fixed and I can order some boolits from them. I now have some IMR...

    458 Lott Loads

    @buy-a-donkey I like loads with Varget. I am sitting on at least 6 pounds of it. I have used it in 204,223/556, 223WSSM, 243, and 308 with great success.

    458 Lott Loads

    I was spoiled with getting the Lott when I did. Another member of this forum allowed me the chance to shoot many DG rifles from 375 H&H to the 404 and 416's, 458's and 505 Gibbs. I had the chance to shoot this Kimber before I bought it. I was able to ring steel at 100 yards with the open sights...

    458 Lott Loads

    @buy-a-donkey Thank you so much for the info. Please pm me any data you have for the North Fork bullets. I do plan on buying Norma brass. I have studied all 458 softs and solids and I have looked at the NF's. I like the fact the softs and solids will print the same groups. I may have to get some...

    458 Lott Loads

    I just acquired a Kimber Caprivi in 458 Lott and I am looking to load for it. I am strongly considering 500 Grain Barnes Triple Shocks for my softs but I am unsure which solids to load. I have read that flat nose solids perform better than round nose solids so I am looking at Woodleighs or...

    Where and who are you hunting with in 2016

    2016 will find me back in the Eastern Cape with Loodt at Tootabi Hunting Safaris. This will be more of a visit and fun hunt(opportunity hunt) rather than a hit list hunt. I enjoyed my time with him and his wonderful family so much that I could not pass on another year without going over.

    Trophy Debate

    What you say @dobber about not sharing on this forum is not the first time that I have heard this. When I joined here it was a classy forum and people respected others. It seems that the keyboard warriors we all battle on social media have infected some here with their online hate. I have had...

    Cull Animal

    ^^^^I have seen outfitters offer cull hunts at reduced rates. Not many advertise them but some cull packages are offered. I feel that there is a need for cull packages as there are hunters who desire these.

    Cull Animal

    I had a situation on my first safari in the cape like this. My PH and I came across an old cape kudu bull with a really bad limp. His horns were maybe in the mid 30's so definitely not considered of trophy length but he had about 6" of ivory at the tips of his horns. I engaged in conversation...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First Safari At Tootabi Hunting Safaris

    I guess this proves that RSA is not all high fences where a person picks out their animal and kills it. This was a hunt! I would rather have a hunt like this. Congrats @dobber on a successful hunt. I have only hunted two kudu. Both times I walked my butt off to get them. Neither one his all...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Elephant Hunt With Paw Print Safaris 2015

    That says a lot right there! Confidence in your firearm is everything. I see a lot of questions regarding which gun is the best for (insert species). The answer is the the gun and ammo combination that you are most comfortable using that is appropriate for the species. I am glad your rifle/ammo...

    SOUTH AFRICA: My Hunt With Comre Safaris

    I have passed up many great hunts here in the US to save to go back to Africa. If it were not for my 10 year old daughter hunting this year I would not be all that excited about this years hunts. I actually cancelled some hunts that I usually do each year to go back to the EC again next year.

    I have since I last posted received my crate from RSA. I have my lioness skull, eland euro, and puff adder skin in my trophy room. I am waiting on my taxidermist to mount my lioness, sable, bushbuck, and the eland that is pictured. Originally I was only going to euro the eland but I saved the...
