Hunted Namibia April '23, stuff arrived Aug '24. Just Euro mounts and a few tanned skins. Moz in Aug 24' arrived last month. Buff and impala Euro mounts. But there is apparently a lot of latency in dealing with exports from Moz to SA (where any taxidermy takes place), and I believe that most...

That is very encouraging to hear Rouan! Great to see that the hard work is showing results. When I had the privilege of hunting this property in 24, I saw the pile of snares that had been collected/confiscated during the season. The sooner the local population see the benefit of hunting tourism...

Mhmm... I own a 404J and a 9.3, and I haven't even fired a single round of 375 H&H. But still, the 375 seems like the logical choice - reasonable amount of power, ammo/component availability, great choices regarding bullets.

@PaulB Beautiful stuff. A 350 would be a nice thing to have. The map in the picture is intriguing and I can't really tell what area/era it depicts. Looks like India, but some aspects don't make sense to me. What can you tell about it?

I wish you the best of luck, and that Diana helps guide your arrows.
