Due to the amount of poaching that is going on I have finally decided to give up hunting for good. Elephants,rhinos and even tigers will be extinct within a decade. Also lions and other species are on the decline. Also I am no longer interested in killing creatures for the fun of it,the only...

I have a bit of a passion for double barreled rifles.I came across an advert for one which i had never heard of before so i was wondering if any of you guys had come across this make before.It was a HORNDAY 500 Nitro Express,made by London gunmakers ANDERSON WHEELER,it costs ï½£1400.Ammunition...

A hunter took his friends out hunting in order to impress them with his prowess.''Stay here in the cabin,''he said ,''while i go out andand bring in the food.''Not far from the cabin the brave hunter ran into a huge bear.The man shook so much he could not fire a shot,and was soon runningwith all...

Has anyone heard a rumour that 48,000 Maasai are facing being thrown off their land by the Tanzanian government just so that rich kings and princes from the middle east can go hunting.I don't think this should be allowed,but i suppose money always comes before people.

He was a very interesting guy.He was still a fit man although i would say he was in his 80s.He had hunted all over Africa just before the war and in Kenya after the war up to the hunting ban.I asked him if he knew my uncle,Frank Danson who also hunted about that time,he grunted and just said...

my uncle died along time ago,all his guns were sold andover the years we lost contact with his side of the family and i dont know what happened to all his gear.

Thanks,i think the double rifles are great.

Thanks for the reply.It was a long time ago and i think it was a .450 nitro express.I suspected that it must have a heck of a kick.My uncle was a professional hunter in Kenya before the hunting ban and also in Tanzania and Uganda.

Many years ago,during the golden age of hunting in Africa,my late uncle often hunted in Kenya and Tanzania.He had 2 or 3 different guns but his favotite was a .455 rigby express double rifle,i remember staring in awe at it in the gun cabinet when he was back at home.It looked rather heavy.I was...
