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...

My lioness is getting tanned right now and so I am looking at poses and bases. My question is how hard is it to build a base? I do not want or care for a bunch of fancy wood on the base just some Kalahari sand and a little vegetation. I am looking at a tall proud pose. Have any of you built your...

Has anyone here shot a big bore Cooper rifle? I just noticed that they make rifles up to 505 Gibbs. I know that their guns are lights out accurate and I am wondering how their big bores shoot. What really interests me is that they chamber their big guns in the 404 Jeffery. Thoughts?????

I have an opportunity to purchase this used Winchester 375H&H with Burris Fullfield scope for $900. I have never seen a Winchester in a stock like this so I am thinking it might be an after market stock (I have never owned or have been a huge Winny fan). I am just wondering what my go to experts...

I am finally getting a chance to post this video. All photography and video were shot with my DSLR by an amateur who learned how to run my camera the morning of the hunt. I taught myself how to edit video while I made this video. Overall I am very happy with how it turned out. I must give Loodt...

Am I the only one who has a dream of going to Africa for a ten day kudu only hunt? This would not be for only one but as many or few as I desire. Granted if another snorter species crossed my path I would be open to hunting it but the primary hunt would be kudu only. After my last hunt and...

I just returned home a little over a day ago from a magnificent hunt with Loodt Buchner and Tootabi Hunting Safaris. Below will be a timeline of the how the hunt unfolded with some attached photos. This will be a work in progress as I have in excess of 1200 photos and videos to go through yet...

Have any of you bowhunted in Africa by only spot and stalk? This is my favorite type of bowhunting and would love to try for a sable or kudu this way. Has anyone here hunted these two animals this way?

Fellow AH members, Loodt Buchner from Tootabi Hunting Safaris is coming to North Dakota for a visit this March. I have a get together planned for 6:30pm March 6th at my house for any hunters interested in an African hunt with Tootabi Hunting Safaris. I would like to extend the offer to anyone...

Members, I need your help. Please post pics of full body lion mounts. I will be hunting a lioness in March and I am trying to find the right mount for her. I am looking for aggressive poses but not finding exactly what I want. I have looked at all the big studios web pages and they look ok but...

Of all of you that have encountered snakes on your hunts to Africa, have any of you had them mounted? Is there any legalities regarding importing mounted/freeze dried snakes into the US? I say this because I encountered some night adders in the EC last year but did not even think about taxidermy...

Maybe this has been covered here and maybe not. I am planning a lioness hunt next year in RSA. This will be a ranch hunt. Is it the law to only use a 375 or larger caliber rifle? I do have a 338/378 which I plan on loading some 300 grain Accubonds. Is this an ok rifle bullet combo or should I...

I am only home for a little over a month from RSA. While there I was introduced to Amarula. This is a wonderful liquor. I have since found it at home (Fargo, ND) and have come up with a drink called a Bushbuck (I named it). In a blender add some crushed ice, 4-5 scoops of vanilla ice cream, a...

Has anyone here used Hunters and Collectors Taxidermy in SA? Good/bad thoughts?

Newbie to the site and this has probably been beaten to death BUT any good or bad reviews of Pelican Cases for travel to Africa? My first day of hunting there is 5 weeks from today. Thanks for the help! Dave
