    What makes or breaks your decision to book a hunt

    I've hunted Africa 3 times and I am currently working on number 4. My planning has changed over the years, so explain the evolution. My first hunt was with a PH in Namibia that I met at a show. I liked him we got along good and his pricing was good, and he had all the standard plains game...

    How much ammunition for plains game hunting trip to South Africa?

    No problem so far. The caliber is for a rifle that I'm bringing and since we are married we can make the case for what hers is mine and vice versa. It's worked on 3 thrips without a single question about ammo.

    How much ammunition for plains game hunting trip to South Africa?

    I hunt with a .300 Win Mag and take 80 rounds with me, even if I'm hunting 3 animals. My lock boxes hold 2 boxes of ammo, each. I put one box in my luggage and one box in my wife's luggage. If a suitcase becomes lost along the way, hopefully, the other will make it through and I'll still have...

    What do hunters look for when researching / booking their safaris?

    I'm a relative newbie to hunting Africa but have done so 3 times. You already have a lot of answers to your question and might not need mine but I'll thrown in my 2 cents anyway. The first 2 African hunts were in Namibia with the same outfitter and the last one in SA. I met both PHs at shows...

    Fox NRA / Wayne LaPierre Commentary

    Note that I did not say anywhere in my post that there weren't problems. I even said that I wouldn't enter into that fray here. I still have many friends who remain on the Board. If you are a member and receive a magazine, somewhere in the back you will find a list of the Board members and...

    Fox NRA / Wayne LaPierre Commentary

    I feel somewhat qualified to respond to this - like it or not. I am also a Benefactor member of the NRA, as is my wife. I was a member of the Board of Directors for seven years, resigning only so that I could take an executive position with the NRA as their Director of Competitive Shooting...

    Update from South African Air NEW FEES

    There are messages on this website that the new charges are per segment. True/False, confusing nonetheless. SAA leaving Washington Dulles generally makes a one hour stop somewhere in Africa (I've stopped at 2 different locations) to refuel and take on passengers before proceeding to JoBurg...

    Michigan Hunter Here

    Denny here from Michigan. I've been to Africa 3 times and frequently visited this site for info to increase my knowledge of hunting African game. I finally decided to join. In fact it was this site that convinced me to shoot a Cape Eland. I always thought that they Eland was boring in spite...

    Wash Your Boots!

    I've hunted Africa 3 times, twice flying through Dulles and once through Atlanta. On the two times through Dulles, neither boots nor firearms and 4457s were inspected by CBP upon my return. I simply went through Customs, picked up my baggage, and firearms, and went home (I lived in the area at...
