Sometimes you could get lucky, and be able to close the distance to what you're comfortable with... But most of the time you don't have that luxury in such mountains. These hunts can put any hunter out of their comfort zone!

Many thanks, everyone for your valuable input! I have to agree it's most probably a chronograph anomaly due to cold weather as many of you suspected... Especially that the rifle was grouping well (A hair under 1 MOA), and it was snowing a lot (The chronograph got really wet).

Hello gentlemen, Hope you’re all doing well and safe! So, we were hunting ibex in Tajikistan last week, and we had to use the outfitter’s rifle: Rifle Brand: Ruger Hawkeye (Twist rate: 1 in 9.5) Caliber: 7mm Remington Magnum Bullet: Nosler Accubond 160 Grain (Trophy Grade) While checking the...

Does anyone know a good Woodcock hunting outfitter in Scotland? We are a small group of hunters with our own english pointers, looking for some excellent woodcock hunting grounds in Scotland where we can flush 50+ woodcocks per day. I would highly appreciate it if you can share your experience...

You're absolutely right Bhfs300, no shooting at more than 30 yards! I guess I must get some Easton arrows and broadheads, i'm shipping most of the equipment from the U.S. Bow Hunting is not very popular where i come from, there are very limited archery supplies here. But I'm practicing a lot...

Hello all! I'm a first time bow hunter, haven't fired a bow at an animal in my life. I'm looking forward to using my bow for the first time in Africa. Please share with me your opinion of my setup: BOW: PSE Stinger 3G 70# DRAW LENGTH: 28 inches TOTAL ARROW WEIGHT: 405 grains SPEED: 275.6 fps...

Thanks a lot for getting in touch Hannes! Email sent....

I couldn't find any contact information on the suggested website http://ospreyfilming.com/ Thanks everyone for your help! Very much appreciated...

Thanks for your prompt action Erik! Email sent...

Hello!! I'm looking for a PROFESSIONAL videographer/crew to film our African hunting safari this year. We'll be hunting in the Limpopo and North West Province. We wouldn't have a problem filming in either locations, whatever is logistically easier. If anyone has some sort experience with...

Stunning pictures!!! May i ask what camera and lens were you using?!

For those who are interested, the correct answer is "South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania". Here's the pie chart.

The study includes but is not limited to: Social behaviour (Specifically huge solitary males) who join the group only during mating season. A lot of the biggest warthogs have been taken during this period, which is generally at the end of rainy season, or at the beginning of dry season. And...

One of the hidden Warthog Hunting grounds is Mauritania. Here are a couple of pictures from a couple of hunts:

Wow, Thanks Jerome! Look at those warriors from Uganda... I'm doing extensive research on Warthogs. So any reliable information would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures from a consistently excellent warthog hunting area in South Africa. This one is 4 days ago:

That's a beautiful Warthog! I love it when their tusks grow inwards. Uganda has 19 entries out of 2,722 in the SCI, with 4 of them being in the top 100...

The common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) has been hunted in the following African countries: Ethiopia, South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana, C.A.R, Mozambique, Sudan, Kenya, Uganda, Cameroon, Chad, Mauritania, Angola, Somalia, Senegal, Swaziland, Congo, Rwanda...

Haha! Couldn't have been said any better Royal27!

Who Wants a Monster Warthog?!

Thanks for the insights! I hope everyone gets their trophies nice and safe!

Has any outfitter or trophy exportation company been experiencing difficulties in applying for export permits from South Africa the past couple of months?! Your feedback would be highly appreciated...

From the title to the trophies... Everything is high quality in this report (y)

Some great suggestions right here... Thanks!

Never got a good answer for this question. How would you build a good target that doesn't ruin your broadheads? I'm using a Compound Bow (70 lbs) and G5 Montec broadheads (100 grains).

Hey archer36! Couldn't agree more about the great bow hunting lodges mentioned in this thread, but I would also attest to Linksfontein in the Northern Cape, a bow hunting only area (part of Wintershoek safaris). I've been there, you won't be disappointed...

Anti hunters are certainly accountable Christophe. I don't personally know Faysal El Khalil, but his name is very familiar...

That was in Nigeria when it was still rich in game... The species and hunting terrain are almost the same as what you have in Benin... But unfortunately, it's not the same anymore! Corruption is mingling in the nation and poachers are almost impossible to control...

Old but Gold... Enjoy

Couldn't think of a better picture for this contest! What do you think?

Sans doute, c'est la meilleure vidéo que j'ai regardé pour la chasse en Afrique... La véritable expérience africaine! Incroyable... Merci de partager votre expérience Christophe!

Hey buddy, I just wanted to ask you about madala safaris... Would you recommend them? And what method of hunting did you use when hunting with them? Was it walking and stalking? Thank you!

I totally agree with you 'Royal27'. I could never get tired from listening to his hunting stories... He's such a great inspiration. There are actually hundreds of old pictures that i will be scanning and sharing with all of you soon when i get back to my homeland in December. For now, here are a...

Thank you for the lovely comments, and Jerome for the helpful link. I will definitely measure this trophy soon and i'm confident that it will emerge with an entry that will make 'Raouf' remembered. You should see this trophy live, the tusks actually overlap a little bit at the top but the angle...

Lebanese hunting legend ‘Raouf Halewe’ shot this magnificent trophy warthog long time ago in Nigeria. Raouf who spent most of his life in the African jungles didn’t know what a shooting stick is; yet you can clearly spot the perfect shot he made with his 6mm rifle. This...

That's another Warthog taken with great friend and PH Pieter Erasmus in June 2014... How much do you think he measures? ...Getting ready to be hanged on the wall

What a great hunt... It brings back some good memories! Pieter runs great operations; can't wait to be there again next year...

Thank you for the nice words! It was indeed a great hunting trip...

The following hunting report features the events of a successful partnership with paw print safaris. We hunted from Sunday, June 15th until Friday, June 19th 2014. Day 1: We met PHs Pieter and John around 7:30am in O.R. Tambo international airport. In less then a 2 hours drive, which felt...

Perfect video, and obviously a nice shot!
