    SOUTH AFRICA: Eastern Cape 2019 With Hotfire Safaris

    I hadn’t even touched down in East London in May 2014 and I was already plotting how I might be able to hunt in Africa again. That 2014 hunt with Patrick Fletcher of Hotfire Safaris was a success and did not dissuade me from wanting to return again. Not only did I enjoy some fantastic hunting...

    Ammunition in Original Package or in an MTM box in Locked Case?

    OK. Trip to RSA coming up in April. Common advice is to make sure your ammo, even handloads, are packed in original type packaging of the same caliber as the ammo. True or False? I did this last time, packed in my small Pelican (I recommend the Pelican as I was made to ship it separately home...

    Anti-Hunting Petition to Canadian Government Sponsored by MP

    https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-191 Many inaccuracies in the very brief description. It is borderline criminal that a Member of Parliament (MP) would sponsor this drivel without fact checking. I believe the initiator is a member or author of B.A.T.H. (Ban African...

    SCI Calgary Chapter Fundraising Banquet April 30th

    Safari means a journey or expedition in Swahili. Although it is most often and traditionally associated with hunting in East Africa, it is not necessarily so. I love my journeys and expeditions "safaris" with friends and family here in Alberta. Hunting is under attack, and not just in Africa...

    Hello from Alberta

    I just joined this forum yesterday. I'm married, with two teenage daughters who hunt with me. My wife and I went on our first Safari to the Eastern Cape of South Africa in May 2014. We had a great time at Hotfire Hunting & Fishing Safaris. We hope to go back again.
