    Kruger Not Having Much Luck....

    I did a 21 day self drive all over SA after a 21 day SA hunt. In all the SA parks we visited without any SA people guiding my weapons were SAN Park locked in hard case and stayed with me. When leaving their (park) jurisdiction their locks were removed and mine went back on. This was all approved...

    Kruger Not Having Much Luck....

    My rifles were locked with SAN Parks locks on way in and stayed that way till we left park 5 days later. Inspection both in and out. We were self guided but we did see sidearms and rifles on other "warden" types while in park. Like everything else in the world things are not the same in other...

    2026 Namibia Trophy Cancelation Leopard Hunt

    WTG, that seams like an awesome deal. Good luck. Maybe you can add a hartmans zebra and a dik dik?? For on route to bait checks or after you get him early, bait and pre bait included another bonus and increase in odds. Please keep us at home "involved" with a report. Have fun. MB

    2026 Namibia 14 Days Trophy Leopard Hunt

    I do not know this company or PH but I can say that listed price seams very good, not much more than my Namibian leopard hunt and that was some time ago in 2011. Namibia is a safe, easy to get around country teaming with wild UNFENCED game. Truly a Country that left life long lasting memories...

    Are Sable a Hard Hunt?

    As most already stated. I think there are almost 2 separate animals. The sable on wild areas, wild born and unfenced areas of Zim were truly a great hunt. Track, stalk or bump into them but they were all truly spooky. Cannot say same for any of the ones in SA farms, I got a 39" there. We saw...

    2.5 x 8 or 2x7 leopould scopes?

    For me they are the ultimate do all scopes, I have them on every gun. Most favourite is the 3x9x33 ultralight with drop reticle but also have the VX11's 2x7x33. They add to my ultralight 6 lb 700's in performance, lightweight and looks. I am not a sniper so work perfect at all my hunting...

    ARE IMPORTABLE TUSKLESS HUNTS AVAILABLE?

    That's what I did on first so good news for a return again. The replica tusks have come along way in realism. Glad that dumb Steven was forced out of Gov, too bad rest would not also be gone. MB

    African Braais- your favorites ?!

    Probably my best "braai" memory was in Zim, spike camp, living in a Coleman tent, pumped water, all cooking on an open fire and grate by PH Wayne's awesome cook Linda. A week of braai and pure joy, all excellent wild game meals, topped of with an awesome ele and kebobs on the locals fires. Wayne...

    African Braais- your favorites ?!

    Any tender piece of wild game meat cooked rare. I love sudza on the side to mop up the bloody juices. When on safari meat must be wild, no need for "raised" anything. A braai with good coals and smoke, PH and me/my group and the sounds of Africa. Oh the memories. Feeling the need to be back...

    ARE IMPORTABLE TUSKLESS HUNTS AVAILABLE?

    From my Zim ele some years ago I only had the tusks reproduced, but they did use his tanned hide as wraps, also have both his ear panels on wall as well as tail bracelets. Did get CITES export and import paperwork for those parts. This was when Canada was a real country back in 2010. Now I am...
