Rifle scopes are considered as military equipment in England. I had a big problem there coming back from the USA with a new scope, still in it's sealed box, in my carry on bag. Nowhere else was it a problem.

Tomsbass, I think that we just got the kind of package that you are looking for. Karl Stumphe and me got a package deal for 6 days of hunting and 2 days of Tigerfishing on the Okavango river. The hunting will be out of Karl's big game camp just north of the Kaudum National park. My fishing camp...

The second photo is clearly of a Livingston Eland and not of a Cape. Eland bulls do fight and they do kill each other, just as Kudus do. There are two theories about the clicking sound that big bulls make. By watching at hundreds of eland over waterholes I am a supporter of the second theory...

Tigerfish at Nyiru Camp/ Okavango River

I hunted a lot of leopards in my life, all over bait. I was, and still are very interested in hound hunting. The time that I was hunting for Ozondjahe Safaris, I had a very high sucsess rate over bait. The bad thing is that I also made a few mistakes. This is something that clients don't want to...

This will be great! The wild life is wonderfull in some places in Angola. I am living on the border, close to where the Cuito River come into the Okavango. The local population is much less than in Namibia. I don't want to sound negative, but there are only two things that I don't like about...

Merry Chrismas to all on AH from a very, very hot Caprivi, Namibia! It's mid day about 40C or 104F, so enjoy the snow in the US!!

Just got my vote. Good luck!

Mike, I went to Vaungh Fulton's camp during Oct. this year with a client of mine. I spent 6 nights in his camp. We went for a croc, but my client changed his mind and on the second day we went after buffalo. My client shot a nice old bull the same day. The camp was very nice and the food was...

South African men are REAL MEN!

Meat Hunting vs Trophy Hunting These restrictions are only on the local meat hunting season and have nothing to do with trophy hunting. The huntable game species are Kudu, Gemsbuck, Warthog, Springbuck and this year Red hartebeest was also included. On trophy hunting you can hunt two of any...

Gerhard, This is definitely a exceptional trophy! This bull is old and past his prime. You can see that the horns are worn down on the tips, as well as were the horns turn up and back. The bosses are also very cracked. This is a loner and a prime trophy. Just be careful when you judge the...

ikeda, I agree with Kelly. Give us some more details on the HUNT. Most importantly who was your Ph? What was wrong with the food? I am living full time in the Kavango (on the Okavango rivier) in a camp, so I know what is reasonable to expect, I will give you my impression on things. Did you...

If you are just shiping the dried skins and horns, I would recommend that you sent your trophies by air. If your trophies are done in Africa and it's nearly a container full (a few full body mounts) than it's sensible to use ocean freight. It depent on the taxidermist that do the diping and...

I don't know about Spotted Hyenas, but Brown Hyenas are very atrackted to old motor oil. If you are doing a leopard hunt and there are brown hyenas in the area, just dump 5 litres of old used motor oil about 10 to 15 yards to the side of the bait tree and there will be a brown hyena within two...

Dox, what equipment were you using on the Kudu?

I think that 20 yards is the distance that you must be able to do good groupings at. I know bowhunters that can shoot 6 inch groupings at 120 yards, but that's not for the everyday bowhunter. That same bowhunter told me that if you want to hunt at 20 yards you should practice at 40 and when you...

Dox I agree with Lammie Potgieter. Hot and dry is what you are looking for. We got some very good hunting areas in the Kalahari in Namibia and I know of a few very good places in South Africa for bowhunting.

A lot of my client's over the past few years were using semi-automatic rifles. Nearly all of it were Browning. I think that if your gun look like a hunting rifle, the Namibian officials will be OK with it. If it look like a assault rifle, you will have a lot of questions to be answered, but I...

Oliver, The quickest way to determine between the sexes are if you look at the neck. The neck of a stallion is much more muscular and thicker than those of the mares. If you got time and the animal is facing away from you, you can look at the black part between their hind legs. The black part or...

This is not true for Namibia! Namibia got very strong ties with Germany as a old German colony, but the law are very clear on this. All foreign trophy hunters must be accompanied by a guide or PH.
