Check out Conroe Taxidermy just outside of Houston. Very experienced with buffalo and just about everything else. Cheers

Certainly, if you rent rifles from the outfitter. It can be done even for dangerous game but particularly for PG. Just check out the outfitter really well per the info. on this site, pics of the rifles, bullets, scopes, etc... Cheers

Ive had similar issues with brand new ammo before. I notified the manufacturer and they sent me new ammo for free. I would: - *Trash that brass, the relative amount of money you are throwing away is tiny compared to the risk of what could happen to you and/or your gun - Notify the manufacturer...

As mentioned, USD is actually preferred in that part of the world (and most places). Personally, I try to have cash just in case the card machine doesn't work that day or whatever. Cash also lets you know it goes directly to the person you are trying to tip, not the owner or just the boss man...

I have been once a year since 2023 counting 2026, so 4 years in a row. Since 2021 I have also hunted Europe five times and Argentina as well. Headed to New Zealand in 2027, and Africa, and have a 2028 Moz hunt booked as well. I have an Arizona and a Wyoming hunt booked for this year coming up...

In a word, Oil. I went to law school after undergraduate, and after 4 years in the Marine Corps, enlisted, used the GI Bill for school. During some career presentation by some fiftyish year old lawyers working for companies in the oilfield they explained how they had traveled the world...

Very interesting thread. I guess most of us agree, the common bond is hunting and who cares about your financial status. If you hunt, you have something to share here. All are welcome, etc.. FWIW, since others have shared. I travel both cattle class and business. One "trick" I have been...

I have four of them so far but am booked with Zambezi Delta Safaris with four more on quota. So far, with the caliber I shot them: Duiker - 300 WM - Namibia Steenbok - 300 WM - Namibia (see avatar pic) Dik Dik - 375H&H - Namibia - solids at 10 yards Klipspringer - 338 WM - Namibia That was...

I was in the new airport in May this year. Yeah, its newer construction than the old one was but it is way farther out from Luanda. The recommendation from locals is to leave for the airport 4 hours before your flight. That is painful for morning flights. Also, some of the TAAG flights had one...

We all know why you actually posted. You did not come on AH to get talked out of it, that is for sure. lol. You have our collective enthusiastic blessing! Go for it! That Rigby BG in .404 is on my short list. I have researched it enough to know that is must have for the serious connoisseur...

Yeah, let me add that my Angolan buddies, locals and expats, were very skeptical of hunting there. They basically asked me if I was crazy, particularly on the landmine issue much less paying the outfitters - the business end of things, etc. When we discussed that supposedly all the mines were...

I dont know all that much about this but I did have some email exchanges with one of the outfitters who came to the US to promote this. I visit Angola regularly for work and usually try to go to Namibia for hunting as a side trip. When Angola opened up I was very keen to see what the options...

No issues with going for DG on your first hunt imo, though I do think "on paper" it makes sense to do some PG hunts first to get some experience. Given you cannot be 100% sure you will actually be able to take a second safari, the safest way to make sure you will hunt DG is to go for it the...

I would dress however you want, be yourself. I have been in most of those London gun shops multiple times. In general it has been hit or miss on attention from them, I think mainly depending on who the sales person is. Mostly positive though. That said, I have noticed a difference, more interest...
