I'm just waiting now for this to be added to my UK license. I'd like to take it to Africa for plains game, maybe next year.

I'll be putting a Swarovski Habicht 6x42 on it, and then see what ammunition suits it best.

The skin doesn't peel away from the carcase easily, so there's a lot of knife work involved. The venison is good though, which makes the effort worthwhile.

Many of you will be aware that the UK government has been considering a ban on the import / export of all hunting trophies. I received an email update yesterday from the British Association of Shooting & Conservation advising that a ban on the export of trophies from the UK was off the agenda...

Thanks, Jacob. Look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Thank you for posting; looks very interesting. I'll make contact.

I hunted in Namibia in 2018. It was my first time hunting in Africa, and another visit is now being planned for 2023. Owing to the proposed ban on the import of trophies into the UK, a management hunt for plains game is probably the best option, with the ability to add a trophy or two if...

I wonder what adventures it's played a part in over the past 92 years?
