I wasn’t thinking about hunting another buffalo this trip but a deal I couldn’t refuse came up. The bull was injured but still plenty mobile and pissed off. While being a younger bull I couldn’t pass him up and they wanted him out of the herd before the other bulls killed him. I took my 2nd...

So I ask this because I don’t know and think I found the answer. Long story short, I just finished up a hunt in SA and had some past issues with my 375 Ruger. I have decided to get rid of it and purchase a new 375 H&H. Now, I am looking at the Seekins PH3 in 375 H&H. Here’s the dumb question...

So a good friend of mine just bought a Browning Hells Canyon Speed in 300 PRC. He purchased a can for it but found out the threads on the Browning are metric. Instead of buying an adapter for the can he literally just purchased another rifle and wants me to buy his Browning, which has never been...

So this may be an issue or maybe not. Is it the gun, ammo or is it normal? I posted not long ago that I had my 375 cerakoted. Right after the work I had done I sighted in at 100 yards. I took my rifle home to clean and noticed that the bolt that goes through the stock and to the barrel has a...

I grew up on a farm in Northern Kentucky and we raised tobacco. My dad got me into hunting at a very young age but didn’t get me into deer hunting until I was about 13. I’m assuming he didn’t get me into it earlier in life because he saw it as a “hunt alone” kind of hunt. I didn’t see it that...

So a few years ago I befriended a well known photographer out of Nashville. Michael Gomez at West Light Studios, where Mike is the owner. Mike specializes in country music celebrity photography. I talked him into going to SA with me in ‘23. We were hunting an area now renamed Winnie Mandela. I...

Anyone ever use these people? I usually take Rand from the last trip on the next trip but I guess I spent it all. I see they have several Kiosks in ATL and it looks like I can pre-order Rand. I usually just exchange in stores or through my PH or hit the ABSA nearest to camp. I think it’s always...

So this is a newer thing I saw. Last time I went I didn’t need to do this. Usually I just clear passport control and walk right past customs, who are usually kicked back and playing on their phones at OR Tambo. Anyone had any issues with it? I completed the online form and tells me to follow...

I recently acquired a Pelican Vault. For years I have taken a Cabelas Bullet Proof gun case on my trips. With this being said the Cabelas case has survived many, many ground miles, air miles and baggage handlers. Maine to Texas, South Africa to Wyoming. Beat to hell and covered with stickers...

Well let me start off by saying this, sorry to who may not like this. After serious debate for months and asking opinions on this site I added a Terminator T3 brake to my rifle. I was unable to deal with the recoil anymore but I did take plenty of PG and DG with it in the past. So here are a few...

So I am getting ready for my hippo hunt and I would like to video it somehow. I highly doubt I will be able to have another person other than my PH there so I was thinking a Tactacam maybe? Anyone have any experience with Tactacam or have any other ideas? My PH says the range could be from...

So I’m looking into muzzle brakes and I know my PH will hate me. I’ve taken numerous big game animals with it but I’m tired of that recoil. I’m considering a Terminator T5 brake but which thread do I need? My barrel is not threaded and the front sight blade is sitting on the end of the barrel. I...

So with my next trip I will be taking a buffalo. Now then, I am buying a .375 for the trip and a cheaper .375 at that. Due to me being a Police Officer by trade I sure enough can't put high dollar optics on the rifle either. What would be a good optic to put on the rifle? I am thinking a lower...

EMIAC, anyone ever hear of these people? My PH is shipping my mounted trophies back through them. Just curious what kind of bill I might expect from them. I am having 6 shipped home, full mount baboon, shoulder eland, black wildebeest, common reedbuck, bushbuck and waterbuck. Last trip I just...

So I am not sure if this subject has been brought up before, if it was I couldn't find it. What are the rumors about the import on Lions to the US being banned? My taxidermist says he has heard from many people that possibly the ban might take hold later this year? Anyone hear any different or...

Hi all, I am Danny and a Police Officer by trade. I have hunted in South Africa twice and I have had the opportunity to take 14 species of plains game so far. I am planning another trip back in 2016 and I am trying to put Lion (depending on the ban) or Buffalo on my menu this time. I have...
