I hunted Kamchatka spring of 2016. It was a great hunt for brown bear and the hunting was far better than my 2 previous attempts in Alaska (which were way more expensive and not successful), having said this you need to understand fully that hunting in Russia is very different. The travel is a...

I was in the market for a good working double a few years back and ended up with a .470 Krieghoff after looking at many guns. Great gun! I have great custom loads made to the gun by Safari Arms. I also liked Chapuis

Nice NW James, I am up here in Harford/(Hazzard) County near Ripken stadium, there a few of us safari guys up in my area

Welcome to another Marylander, where bouts are you from?

I live in MD and Baltimore is a USDA port of entry, very smooth process. I have a local broker that does a great job, she calls me when the paperwork is done and I go pick it up, which saves on additional freight. You can do the same if you live near a USDA port then take it to your...

I have used Woodleighs in my Krieghoff .470 since I bought the gun. My gun was regulated with Federal ammo but I had Safari Arms develop a load for it with the Woodleigh bullets, very happy with them and have taken lion (softs), hippo (solids) and blue wildebeest (softs) with the gun

I like a medium color like tan on 2 opposing walls and a darker color, like teal, on the other 2 walls, it gives a nice contrast. Plywood behind your cedar planks, drywall etc is a must and if you can, no windows as sunlight (even with Low e glass) is really bad for mounts. I did a ton or...

thanks, adding a picture helps to take one back to particular day and the individual hunt for each animal, my father has similar pics and when I was a kid I would marvel at what it must have been like in that moment, of course back in the 1970s guys had cowboy hats, jeans, flannels, cigarettes...

My trophy room is almost the exact size as yours, I used track lighting on the entire length and width of the cathedral ceiling, each section is on dimmers so I can keep certain areas very bright while dimming to a softer light in other areas. I also have 2 ceiling fan lights that are fixed...

When I was looking for a double I did a bunch of research in my price range and also came down to Chapuis and Krieghoff. I ended up finding a "better" deal on the Krieghoff in .470 and I have never looked back. It is a great double and should I need service or repairs there is a there is a...

I am looking for a good Moose hunt in B.C. for this year. Has anyone hunted with either Wicked River Outfitters or Gunson Guiding & Outfitting? I have been talking to both but cant find much online, good or bad. for either one. I appreciate any recommendations, thanks

I have taken more game with .300 win mag than any other rifle that I own. From Steenbok and kudu to sable, elk, grizzly etc. I only use 200gr swift A-frame loads. Remington used to offer them in their Safari Grade loads but I don't think they are making them anymore. Corbon Ammo has this load...

just do a search for import brokers in Houston, any importer should be able to handle it, you may want to make sure they are hunter-friendly but money is green and they usually do not have a problem with some new business in my experience

I believe that Houston is a USDA port of entry, like Baltimore, where I get my trophies. Trophies come in by plane and I have a local import broker handle all of the inspections & paperwork then I pick it up myself. You should be able to do the same. Much cheaper than the folks in NY. I never...
