Mmmm, can of worms... 1. If you are hunting with the owner of the farm, he takes 100% of the trophy fee. Now this causes some problems from a technical and practical point of view: a. If you want to shoot a great trophy, you might not find that on his farm, but because he bags 100% of the...

Ha! Good question...very cheap in that case.

Interesting read. Have spent many miles on my feet hunting and guiding from SA to the Congo, I am willing to pay top dollar for hunting boots. Happy feet, happy hunter. We focus so much of our discussions on rifles etc but we forget the most basic of all - if your feet aren't happy, you will...

Not sure about SCI entries but if you look at Rowland Ward, I can tell you the record comes from my hometown, a place called Potchefstroom, in South Africa. The reason I know this, is because I measured and entered it. In our area we regularly shoot pigs of between 18-21" and body weights of...
