I purchased Hornady 375 DGX bonded from Reloading Solutions a month ago for my trip to SA at the end of January ‘27.

Semi-retired earlier this year at 55 to look after the family farm and other business interests. My father passed away in 2022 and I have since tried to manage the family businesses as well as a frantic very successful high pressure sales roll which I have being doing for the last 25 years or...

In my 300 win mag, I have used 165gn GK’s with good affect on PG up to and including Kudu. With shoulder shots the bullet does not always exit and can often be found under the skin on the opposite side. Recovered bullets are often well expanded and have shed a lot of weight, the benefit is...

I would highly recommend Atholl Estates. The stags, once shot, are loaded on to garron ponies as in tradition. Ponies are still used in the hind season on some of the beats where it is too steep for mechanical extraction

Being attending Hunting Anonymous in February / March yearly since 2016, next therapy session is in planning stage for 2027 with Buff and the usual chasing Kudos and Eland

BA (direct flight) do not charge for rifle and ammo on route from UK to Jo’Burg as per the link I posted earlier. You should only be charged for the rifle.

They do not charge for both when flying from the UK to SA. Look at their terms and conditions, see the following link: https://www.britishairways.com/content/information/baggage-essentials/liquids-and-restrictions#firearms I have flown numerous times with BA to Jo’burg and have only been...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I have flown a number of times to SA via Jo’burg, but from the UK and not the US, the procedure is relatively straightforward at the SAP desk and has improved over the years. Firearms now are off loaded from the plane and taken direct to the SAP office, you no longer have to find you find...
