I just returned from a nine day hunt at @HUNTERSHILL safaris, actually eight, I took one day for a rest day after traveling for two days nonstop without sleep. My first day was spent resting and sighting in my rifles to make certain nothing happened during my flights. My 270 WSM was shooting...

For the past few weeks I've been practicing dry firing off of my tripod. I thought it was nonsense shooting of off a tripod in your family room. After three weeks I've got to say I'm now a believer. Muscle memory is real. Dry firing off my shooting sticks every day has given me a much...

After 40 plus years of contemplation I've finally pulled the trigger so to speak, and booked a hunt in Africa for this fall. I'll be hunting ten different animals anywhere from a springbuck to an Eland that can weigh upwards of 1,500-2000 pounds. Over the next few months my primary objective...

Just curious what others do with respect to practice in shooting before you go on your safari. How many trips to the range do you make before you go and, what type of shooting practice do you engage in? Taking my first trip to Africa this fall and I'm in the preparation phase. I've ordered...

I know that a majority of African Hunting members love their big guns, the 375 H&H the 416 Rigby and the 458, that's not my question. I now the larger calibers are a safer bet when hunting the Eland, they are a big animal. My question is simple is the 270 WSM enough gun to ethically shoot an...

WHat's the best time of the year to hunt South Africa?

What do you use for an ammo box when traveling abroad, I know they have to be locked. Thanks Michael

Interested in going on an eight day cull hunt, would like to shoot 8-10 different animals not just one or two types. Interested in what the cost would be. One issue of importance, I have no desire to drive long distances to different hunting sites. Two-three hours is simply to much. would...

I currently have a 375 H&H and I'm thinking of having it rebarreled to a 404 Jeffery. Can someone please tell me if this is going to require a new bolt face?

Twenty five years ago I purchased a wonderful 375 H&H Colt Sauer. The rifle in short is just about as close as you can get to perfect in a number of ways. Sadly, last year I realized that I had a hairline crack in the stock right where you grip the rifle behind the action. The rifle has one...

Cleaning out the reloading room and adding organization to the big picture. Trying to organize everything and streamline documents. While going through the ugly process of finding a new home for everything and make better use of space, I came across some older reloading data. I decided to...

I've given considerable thought to planning a plains game hunt to Africa. There was a recent thread here where the author acknowledged that he didn't have the capital or space to have his trophies mounted and shipped; the overall cost for everything was just too much for him, it got me...

Planning my first African Safari; no specific date set or outfitter picked but I'm doing my homework and putting a plan of action together. I do have one decision that I can't nail down, my choice keeps on changing for a variety of reasons, and that is which firearm will I bring. I've already...

Just finished reading a thread on another forum; the long and short of it is an outfitter placed a thread advertising for a camp chef for his operation starting next month in Africa. The thread requested the services of a chef with the understanding that the person's compensation would be the...

I'm presently researching different opportunities for my first African Safari. One element of the trip that is very important to me is the quality of the food offered. One of the reasons I enjoy ocean cruises is the variety of well prepared dishes and the variety of different meals offered...
