    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...

    first safari this april, trying to do it smart on a budget, would appreciate advice

    I think you should talk to brother and find out what you want in a safari first. There are tons of outfitters that can fit any style of hunt you want on here. And will sell you/talk you into what they offer. Its your safari. Do you want camp to yourself? Fancy 4/5 star dining? Fenced small...

    Karoo or hunters and collectors taxidermy?

    I used Hunters and Collectors for 2021 safari, 22 species D&P, including CITES. Kevin and Nicole were awesome. Definitely the easiest, most organised, great comms and best shipment I have had done. On time and on quoted price, no surprises. I import all my own stuff so provided photos, sent...
