    505 Gibbs Custom Rifle on Vektor Action

    Good solid actions, there where some that "left" the factory before heat treatment and caused a few issues. Those that where actually treated are solid first class actions. The majority of those actions where sold on auction when the factory ceased rifle production. A Norwegian gunsmith bought...

    TANZANIA: Has Anyone Hunted With Robin Hurt Safaris?

    Old school outfit with a very good reputation. Natasha PH's for them, probably one of the best female PH's on the planet. http://natashaillumberg.com/

    Hunting

    I have been fortunate enough to hunt with and over many pointing breeds and all of them have their good and less great qualities. The story about EP being super fast is only true if they have not run against a hard running GSP, I own a bitch that runs just as hard as a EP and we still shoot more...

    Best upland bird dog?

    I have great respect for the Labs, but they are no pointing dog and they are not what I consider all round dogs. I hunt my GSP's with them often and I have yet to see a Lab with the energy or endurance of a GSP. Labs don't quarter or cover half as much ground as a well trained GSP, neither at...

    Looking for a Outfitter to do a Kamchatka bear hunt

    Anyone have any good recommendations for a trustworthy Outfitter that specializes in Kamchatka bear hunting? Planning a Spring 2022-2023 hunt. Anyone been there pre lock down? Thanks in advance.

    Corona - why does the world work in Sweden??

    Sweden is devided by those who agree with the current situation and those that think the counter measures should be harder. More than 80% of the Swedish population stays in the lower half of Sweden, but it is still a pretty big country. No there are no ice ring mortuaries and no there are not...

    2020 Trophy Hunting Prices

    I am afraid the knock on effects of the Virus is going to be much longer lasting than many Outfitters will be able to endure financially. Countless of businesses have closed down even here in Sweden where we have had no lock down, the social distancing was enough. A few Airlines have gone down...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus UPDATES, BANS, CLOSURES, ADVISORY, etc.

    Highly intelligent reply PHASA, they may be using Who statistics, but not they are hell bent on not following their advice.

    Missing Trophies

    Trophies where all delivered to Pieter before the end of the hunt as confirmed by both PH's. Pieter was well aware of the trouble with the trophies before his untimely passing. If Paw Print Safaris is going to continue doing business then I would suggest they sort this out ASAP.

    Missing Trophies

    Just a update, 2 weeks have now passed and as yet I have had no feedback from Paw Print. I have however had feedback from one PH that said he trying to find them, that was 12 days ago. Besides this bad news I have had feedback that these trophies are not the only ones missing. I say this again I...

    What are the best countries for hunting in Europe?

    Depends on your budget. Redstags and Roedeer are pretty expensive once you start in the medals. Sweden has some good trophies of both and Moose too. Geese and ducks get hunted by their hundreds of thousands here and not uncommon to see flocks of Geese numbering a few thousand. Partridge and...
