HUNT ROMANIA

I've shot the Hornady factory loads in my 375 Ruger Hawkeye African. 300 GR solids, 300 GR DGX, and 250 GMX all hit within an inch at 100 yards. I've had excellent accuracy with all 3. I would stay away from Hornady's 270 GR spire point. Way too soft for what a 375 is used for.

Hey, I know that guy!

My wife, Lynda, and I had booked a hunt with an outfitter in Romania, but after covid, his business seemed to fall apart. He wouldn't answer our emails and we ended up canceling our hunt with him without a refund. Based on the reviews on this website we contacted Marius who owns HuntRomania...

John, my wife and I are supposed to hunt with George in September but he is not responding to our emails. Have you stayed in contact with him since COVID? We are really unsure about hunting with someone who now won't respond to emails for a month or longer. Our hunt was purchased from our SCI...

Thanks for the great review. Your writing brought the excitement of the hunt to me as I read it!

These are 165 GR Barnes bullets loaded in Federal Premium ammo recovered from waterbuck, warthog, and zebra. Only 1 missing petal missing out of 5 bullets. I'm wondering if the higher velocity of the 300 Mag accounts for your missing petals? Center bullet is 375 Ruger 250 Hornady GMX recovered...

We've had perfect performance from GMX bullets in 6.5 Creedmoor but none of them hit a buffalo skull!

6 of the trips were to Africa but yes, ready for trip 7 to Africa and maybe the 3rd time will be the charm for tuskless.

Here are the recovered bullets. All of the Barnes bullets weighed 100% except 1 which lost one petal. The 250 GR GMX weight about 170 gr. It was dug out of the buffalo's skull. I was surprised it lost that much of its weight.

Very 1st morning we checked a few water holes for tracks then headed to a high overlook. From the overlook we spotted a buffalo that had been badly injured by a snare. Our game scout said the Park department wanted it shot before it could hurt someone so we headed down to take care of it but...

Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor 120 grain GMX Full Boar Recovered from: Frontal shot on a red lechwe, and broad side shots on a sable and a golden wildebeast. Also added one more since this picture from a white tail shot quartering on through the front shoulder. Can't get much better performance than this!

Hi Tom, Didn't know you were on this forum. You took care of the importing of my wife and my trophies this year, including the giraffe in this picture. You did a great job for us. Looking forward to seeing you at the Michigan SCI fundraiser.

The hunt I described was still hunting in the timber so fast accuracy was key. Shooting from sticks is definitely its own technique. When our kids were little we would go on Balloon safaris where my brother and I would blow up balloons and tack them to trees then our kids would "hunt" them. If a...

Great response! Before my first elk hunt my uncle told me to sight in at 100 yards off the bench and then never use the bench again. Tack 8 inch paper plates at 50 and 100 yards and practice putting accurate shots on those plates as fast as possible. I've never shot better than that year when I...

What small lodges do you recommend by Vic Falls/

We've always avoided JFK because of the higher likelyhood for an over zealous antigunner in TSA there. I'm 6'5" tall so every inch of leg room makes a big difference.

We are in Michigan and need to end up either in Vic Falls or Harare. Leaning towards Vic Falls. Spend a couple days there then head on to the hunt. We haven't flown SA Air for a number of years. When we switched to Delta we felt that their seating was much better plus they didn't stop for fuel...

In South Africa we have hunted with Marupa Safaris twice. They are big supporters of our SCI chapter, [Michigan Chapter], and have really been great to hunt and tour with. They have their own properties in Limpopo and the Northern Cape and also offer a very reasonable Krueger Park package. Our...

I just bought a hunt from the Dallas Safari Club auction for Zimbabwe. My wife and I have flown Delta that last few times when going to SA but flights work better, [no need to overnight in Joberg], and are less expensive on South African Air. There seem to be a lot of bad reviews for SA Air...

I grew up small game hunting and hunting whitetails with both bow and gun. Friends of my wife and I went to Africa and when I saw the trophies and heard the stories I was hooked. We, [my wife and I and our 3 sons ages 8,10, and 12 at the time] took our first safari. We went to Namibia in 2007...
