    Vancover Island - Black Bear wanted 2013 for 4 swedish hunters

    To reply to your original question...island bear hunts are not cheap, but if that's what you are looking for, I can personally highly recommend Trophy West Guide Outfitters (Trophy West Guide Outfitters). Hunted with them 2 years ago and had a great hunt. I believe they are the only outfitter...

    What happen to Ruger?

    I suspected this was going to happen, and I was lucky enough to acquire a 3-set of these rifles in .375 H&H, .416 Rigby and .458 Lott. Only the .375 has been to the Dark Continent so far, but I'm working on changing that.

    The Agony Factor - Travel to Africa

    A few years ago I was able to fly from Toronto to London to Windhoek with my luggage checked through all the way. Worked out great, but I understand now that SAA won't allow you to do that anymore, and you will now have to check your guns through customs in Joburg, which can be not-fun if you...

    ZIMBABWE: Bad Leopard Hunt West Nicholson Zimbabwe

    I've never hunted leopard, so I certainly can't speak from experience, but just to play devil's advocate for a moment...The cat hit at 8 pm the night before, and then you sat until 11 pm the next night without seeing anything (I assume it's reasonable to assume that the cat might be back around...

    Medical Perscriptions and Shots

    One thing you may find is recommended, at least in some areas of Namibia, is anti-malaria pills. Just be forewarned that some of them can cause some unpleasant reactions. When I went to Namibia, my wife and I both took Malarone. I had nightmares, she couldn't sleep. Once she stopped taking...
