Luckily you were on hand with your Viperflexs to shoot the buck whilst I fiddled with my 4 Stable Six!!

I have guided people and accompanied friends from all over the world and I'd say it's pretty unfair to generalise, there are good and bad from all countries However, back to the OP, I could not agree more, I find in the UK at least sportsmen have had a shotgun shooting lesson but very few have...

I have a transfer via Munich on the way to Zagreb and have not been told I need a transit permit so am assuming I don't

For Lufthansa here in Europe (Manchester to Zagreb via Munich) the fees are 80 Euros each way, total 160 Euros. Some petulant girl on customer service said that the total combined measurements had to be under 158cms but that is for their standard hold baggage whereas sports equipment (think...

that total would rule out all pelicases, surely 158 must be the total length?

I have just read the chapter in Buzz's book https://www.amazon.com/Tall-Tales-Buzz-Charlton/dp/1571575294 where he talks about his choice of rifles, he said he started with a bolt action (the Ruger M77) but after a French client of his was wounded by an elephant (when a round jammed on cycling...

The customer service and warranty compliance here in the UK for Swarvoski is first class. It is for ten years. For devices with electronic components (i.e. range finding binoculars) those elements are only five years. Although I think Swaro is the finest glass if I was buying RF again I would...

I was told recently that the tuskless gene is pretty much unique to Zimbambwe, they are not common elsewhere

Thanks, I never for one moment intimated that I would do anything illegal

Hi Has anyone taken rifles from the UK to hunt with in Zimbabwe? If so did you apply for an export licence? If so was it a straightforward process? Evidently there has been an arms embargo in place between the UK and Zimbabwe for a number of years. Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm the opposite, born in Scotland but live in England. I have stalked red deer a fair bit in Argyll. I didn't regret hunting in Africa - it was back in 2017! I then went so SA again for more cull PG in 2019. Then Covid happened. In the process of booking a buffalo hunt in Zimbabwe for June...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Private_Nature_Reserves basically the private reserves bordering the Kruger National Park that have opened their fences to the Kruger. Since SanParks (the government parks body) ceased culling elephants in the Kruger in the 90s (due to short sightedly...

On the two PG safaris I have been; on the PH expected me to take shots out to 300 yards. They only had tripods at the lodge and I missed a cull impala at 300 so said to limit my range to 250. I was used to quad sticks and will buy a set of these Viperflex Journey for next time as they fold down...

Same (UK) and same please!

All well thanks and yes, I appreciate my safari woes our very much a First World problem!!
