I hear you and feel your frustration. Affordable big bores north of the 49th are a rare and soon to be extinct it seems but if you haven't yet, check out Prophet River's website at Lloydminster, just might get lucky

I've taken a Blue, Golden and Black, all essentially one shot kills, all with a 300 Win Mag, all 180 gr bullets, all at 150 to 200 yards. They're not invincible but they don't give up they're willingness to live easily. If you look hard enough you can find anything you want on YouTube.

So there's these two guys walking down the sidewalk and on the other side of the street they notice this old dog just lying there and licking his balls. The first guy says to his buddy, "Don't you wish you could do that?"His friend replies " "Sure do, but do you think he would let me?" Maybe its...

"CRIES of the Savanna"

Which Enfield action, the Mk 4 SMLE or the P14?

It looks like it is a sophomore college equivalent. What do you say to a graduate of Liberal Arts degree? "I'd like to supersize those fries please"

Thanks for the info(y)

All would be great additions to my collection but I doubt that they would be available in the great white north, somewhere between Montana and Alaska. I dare to dream.

On my trips to Africa on safari I always tried to hunt species that were indigenous to the area of the hunt. In Namibia this was greater kudu, gemsbok, warthog and others but not royal sable. Royal sable, because it was not indigenous, became very expensive, I could hunt it but not at that price...

It's just as bad or worse here in Chinada, just to the north of you JimP

7X57 Mauser (275 Rigby) 300 H&H 375 H&H 416 Rigby 404 Jeffrey All classics in African Calibres in older proven calibers and all available in Ruger No. 1

In defence of the farmers in Alberta that tried the Russian boar venture, believe it or not there were people entering his property at night and cutting the fence to let the hogs out so that they could shoot them. Then they went feral. Initially the farmer would offer wild pig roasts at company...

This must limit the hunting in Great Britain to the sport of only the very well heeled. I have to wonder how anyone there can afford or even use any of the fine British guns that reknowned craftsman there build.

I wonder what the requirements currently are to own firearms in this jurisdiction.

Very well done report, a good friend of mine had a buffalo hunt with Chris in 2015 and also had a very enjoyable hunt. Nice buffalo with good character. Congratulations. Now you will have to begin saving for the next trip.

In my experience, shipping trophies into Canada has become a royal pain in the arse. Not long ago trophies could be flown to various airports, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton,Toronto, Montreal etc, any international airport. Now, if it's DG or CITES listed animal, it has to go through Toronto where...

Ditto: also before the hunt the PH that I had observed my handling of my firearm and he expressed his satisfaction of the handing and his expectations. We came to the understanding that the backup shot, if required would only be as a last resort and only if anyone in our party would be endangered.

I hope you had your underwear mounted along with the buffalo.

26-06, 270 WIN, 30-06 (all from the 30-06 family) 7x57 Mauser 300 H&H 300 Win Mag, 338 Win Mag, 458 Win Mag (offspring of the 300 H&H) 375 H&H 416 Rigby. All work wonderfully in the right application I was once told that nothing is new, only rediscovered. But that's why I'm not into marketing.

The only problem I have heard of with a bolt action is the hunter short stroking it. I know of one hunter who had that issue and he was a proficient shooter, but when the adrenalin is pumping I guess it can happen. Any DG rifle in proper form should be fine. Practice practice practice. Thats why...

Real nice heavy impala

Nice scarred up old daggaboy

that's impressive

That is the exact reason(s) why all 338 MPs received a personal snail mail letter of protest as well as about 40 other government officials who are involved with this idiocy from myself. And thumbs up to the CCFR for there diligence and hard work to stop this dictatorial agenda.

Today there is a glimmer of hope for the firearms owners, hunters and recreational shooters in Canada. Today Feb 3 2023 the the Canadian Federal government has decided to withdraw the Bill C21 amendments to the Firearms Act , primarily due to public pressure and opposition party efforts. Justin...

Today February 3, 2023. Canadian Feederal Gov't repeals ammemdments to their firearms act regarding long guns and shotguns. They received a large and growing pushback from the firearms community. Maybe a start to the end of this insanity that they were trying to sneak through.

Nice mount, I would something similar if I ever had the opportunity.

Welcome fellow Albertan, you have come and joined to the very best website.

SHOOOOT!!!!. I had the same opportunity in the Eastern Cape in 2019. I declined it and my backside is still sore from the daily ass kicking I self administer.

One of the last times I visited Montana, pre covid, the border security officer really pissed me off and when he asked me why I was travelling to the US, business or pleasure. I told him that it was no business of his, "None of yours". He got real testy after that until I asked him "Where do I...

Thanks Gizmo, what I had in mind was a Ruger 1 in 45-70, 300 gr Swift A Frames. I ve taken a black bear, a moose and several deer with it so I suspect that it should be adequate. The only real big issue is covid vax status as I am one of the unvaxxed heathens that the US govt still turns back at...

Considering proper bullet placement, what would you recommend for cartridges and energy minimum for an ethical hunt, what ranges can be expected?

You don't have to go to Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia or Zimbabwe to get wild buffalo. There are hunting areas adjacent to Kruger National Park in RSA that the animals can cross into the concessions from the park simply by crossing the Luluvu river. Bear in mind that they can cross back into the...

Did you file any hunting reports?

SOUTH AFRICA: Hunting With Grand Safari In The Eastern Cape I hunted with Grand Safari in 2019. Here is the link to my hunting report.

Thanks Gizmo, I'm going to keep that in m ind

I would like to recommend Pieter Potgieter of Motsomi Safari. Between him, his wife Ria and his PH Marco, they provided us with a wonderful safari, buffalo in Makuya, plains game on their other properties. Ria was very accommodating on the after hunt activities although shopping wasn't on our to...

Thats a hunt that I would like partake in. Here in Alberta they are considered as vermin but try to get somebody to disclose their location is like asking for their daughters virtue.

Thanks for the information. I just bought one (Super Vinci) and haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet or pattern it.

Thats some pretty mean looking bacon! Do they ever go on the offensive or do they always run away?

THE BATHTUB TEST During a visit with my doctor, I asked him "how do you determine whether or not an older person should be put into an old age home?" Well, he said, we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a coffee cup and a bucket to the person and ask them to empty the tub. Oh, I...

A proper fine old dagga boy, polished boss, worn tips and a scabby but beautiful face

No Toronto, No Montreal, No Ottawa, No Vancouver, No Victoria. Sorry if you live in one of these left wing chicken coops but its all about choices that you make.

Couldn't agree more on your comments. Fantastic for any DG in close, any dark coloured game, black bear, moose, royal sable, Cape buffalo, Bison and Musk Ox (someday maybe). And four power is plenty enough for longer shots up to 200 yards. I took all my game at 1x. Good luck on the sale.

Maybe, but I'd bet against the rant over part.Never met you but i think I know you

If Mama is on board then the biggest hurtle is over. Happy wife, happy life. You're on your way:A Banana:

I think, hope, that this amendment to Bill C21 will die a stillbirth and take with it the Trudeau Liberal Gov't and all the WOKE Turdeau worshippers with it.

After looking at the pictures of the crocodiles and the inflatable canoes, all i can offer is the following quote from JAWS Roy Scheider's line "You're gonna need a bigger boat". Thank you for sharing

A sad day indeed

After talking to the PH's that I have used I came upon the same conclusion. I've been told of clients attitudes that would curl your hair.
