We hunted with Kuche the last week of August/First week of September in Limpopo and Free State. When we left we were told 6-8 months for Euro mounts and flat skins(7 animals for me and 7 dip and pack for my buddy). After hearing the horror stories I asked Koos face to face at DSC in Atlanta...

I didn’t see the facebook posting but the safari rifle I saw on display was indeed a .375. Price was not yet determined as he had just finished that rifle the week of the show. If I heard him right when asked he said he thought somewhere between $3200-4000. It was a nice looking setup.

How does the airport handle the weather? We are flying in from St. Louis on Delta- ETA is 645PM I think. Would you guess we would have a problem?

Wore my Barefoot Rangers everyday for 12 days in Limpopo and Free State in a variety of terrains including 14 miles in the Mountains chasing Eland. I found them very durable and my PH remarked on how quiet they were. Comfort was great but that is subjective on if they fit your feet or not. I...

Just returned from Limpopo and Free State. Killed Kudu, Impala, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbuck in Limpopo and Gemsbuck and Eland in Free State all with .375 Barnes 300 grain. All were complete pass through one shot kills and only the Kudu and Blesbuck moved from where they were standing(both went...

I would agree that is probably the case. Glad you felt you got your monies worth out of it plus you got some beautiful trophies to boot. Happy hunting!!

My buddy and I just hunted with Kuche from Aug. 26-Sept. 6. We spend a week in Limpopo and a week in Free State. Our trip was booked at DSC in 2023 with daily rates and prices quoted and put in writing in the advertising pamphlet. I confirmed prices were guaranteed at DSC in 2024. I received...

While I would love to try a pair of the Courtney's my budget dictates I am more of a Jim Green guy...lol. I just got back from 12 days in Limpopo, Free State and North Cape. The Jim Green African Ranger barefoots were on my feet everyday and performed perfectly whether it be brush, plains or...

Many thanks all. Guess I will hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Thankfully the Delta entertainment feature is usually passable and I will bring along a good book or two.

Just curious. Leaving from ATL to OR Tambo Saturday on Delta. It originally said we had free onboard WiFi. I just got an email from Delta and it appears there is no WiFi on board. Has anyone flown that route lately and did you have on WiFi coming and going for free? And if not did you/could...

There is a new tag for SAMSUNG ONLY. Called the Smart Tag 2 . They only work on Samsung devices so Pixel phones will not work. I gave them a trial run alongside the Apple Air Tag from St. Louis to San Francisco over the Memorial Day weekend in preparation for my August trip to Limpopo and...

Pellets do not “travel farther” in an extended tube vs a flush mount tube. The distant a pellet will travel is a function of pellet weight(shot size) and velocity. That being said most extended tubes I have used will throw a hotter “core” which is to say a denser pellet in the center of the...

I have had excellent results LeverEvolution in my 45-70 on wild boar from 175-up to 250+ lbs. and have taken several. I have also used it successfully on deer in Missouri.....UNTIL THIS YEAR. Like DP I am a Southern Illinois guy so the 45-70 was my go to for the Illinois straight wall...

Hi DP! fellow So Ill boy here. I will be joining you with my 45-70 this year. Mine happens to be that Ruger #1 you covet and let me tell you I am looking forward to using it on my home field. I have taken numerous deer in MO. and hogs in TN. and it has always been a beast! I have used the...

Bob, I will be christening my .35 Whelen Ruger 77(red buttpad) in Africa in August 2024, God willing. Since I am not a reloader I am limited to factory offerings but have settled on a 200 grain Barnes TSX Premium Super Charged loading by Buffalo Bore. While it might be a bit light by your...
