I am very good friends with two black Phs in Zimbabwe. Both only carry the .375 H+H. On my last hunt, one of them only had the 300gn TSX in his magazine, ammunition that a guest had given him. Africa is poor, and black people are poorer than we think. In terms of experience, probably no one here...

the old .303 was the caliber of the former British Empire. We probably have no idea how much game was killed with it. The situation is probably similar with the Moisin Nagant in Asia. Calibers that are completely foreign to us. Finprof: Where is the border of moose habitat—roughly...

Waidmannsheil . What a christmas surprise.

I am only repeating what farmers from Namibia, who once served as officers and soldiers in the South African army, told me: "South Africa had overrun Angola, and they hardly felt the active help of the Soviets and Cubans (in their casualty lists, but of course they also had casualties, more from...

fantastic .your write up and the pics (y)

horrible

Unfortunately, I've never had the chance to shoot a moose. But given its size, I wouldn't use a .308 if I had any other options.

Yes,and I was always a fan of the Greatest:D Beers:

When the Dall sheep trophy was given back, there was no internet at that times. Today, it's much easier to build up pressure (and, admittedly, to spread slander). But with the Alaska bear, it's still ongoing; it happened this year. Since I'm not directly affected, I don't want to say anything...

yes,but what can you do when your trophy is lost ? And what if it's allegedly a mistake? Filing a lawsuit in Alaska from Europe is a waste of money. @altidude s. My bears have shrunk a little. Always different taxidermists.

Measure the skull, both whole and boiled. Also measure the length and width of the hide. Give this data to the taxidermist. The tanned bear skin is often much smaller than the original, depending on how high the fat content is. Stretching it does not help, as it will only make it narrower. An...

I'm reading (again) the book by Brian Nicholson, The last white gamewarden in Tanzania. He shot over 1,300 elephants, even in the most critical conditions imaginable. And he survived with his .470 NE. For the two elephants you'll probably shoot in your lifetime, it probably doesn't matter what...

who is the guy on the right ?

wow

"Thank God this is my last taxi…only pictures from now on…taxi in my opinion has become just a cost trap not worth the headache…just me" A true word. When it comes to elephants in this country,- younger hunters in particular- are switching to having only plastic replicas made. Nowadays, they...
