    Africa prices?

    Your inflation calculator is not set correctly. You have to take out the govt bullshit. If you look around almost everything is at least 50% from 2014, and many things are 100%. Govt uses electronics to bring down the formula. I buy a lot more milk and eggs than I do new televisions. Ymmv

    Laymen: what have they asked you?

    I find the #1 assumption is that if you go, its the classical full bag safari. When I explain, no, that is no longer the norm, and 7-10 days, buff, or PG hunts are similar in price to elk hunts, I get lots of looks of disbelief. Never has sex even been mentioned. But it is either family 50-50...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris

    I did not link or single you out. It is 12 pages, they are already shown, just read the thread. Several people who have been there complained or as denvir tire did just commented on their experience, and multiple people dismiss their complaints and comments, or say, "well I had a great time so...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris

    The most interesting thing in this whole thread is the defense. We don't doubt some hunters at Kuche had an amazing experience. But you keep shit talking the other hunters who did not have the same experience. Very telling. I have not hunted with Kuche, but I know a group of 3 who did, and...

    Welcome to AH. I recently moved to Sheridan. Send me a PM to grab a beverage and chat if you would like. 4 trips to 3 countries with 5th trip planned. It’s addicting!

    Aside from Africa, what are some memorable guided hunts around the world that rival the experience of an African Safari?

    The closest thing to a Safari, as I have found, was actually fishing at Tropic Star Lodge.

    It is not a fantasy. The quote is real. The voter fraud... is real. They put posterboard on windows during counting, they pull boxes of ballots out from under tables on camera AFTER they announce they are done for the night. Trucks arrive full of ballots after the polls close. It doesn't mean I...

    We will never overcome the computer fraud. Dominion vote counting software chief programmer Eric Coomer, "Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f**king sure of that!” Then we have to overcome the fraud on the actual voting rolls. NY voter fraud Just vote HARDER Y'ALL!

    Safari frequency?

    $629 special license pronghorn wyoming 2023. Not 900, but not 2024. Also winter has been brutal. Probably less tags available which brings more point creep.

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye 9.3x62 & 6.5x55 For Sale

    I think you are all getting caught up in semantics. Ruger has never made the "african" in 6.5x55 except for the limited run Lipseys. It has the ebony fore end, barrel band swivel, just like the Ruger Africans. It has the blued bolt of the Lipseys series. It is 1 of 250. Lipseys has done this...

    Best airline to Zimbabwe?

    I used Ethiopian in Aug 2021 to Harare with a rifle. Everything worked out. Addis airport is chaotic, but they definitely did not have their hand out waiting for a "tip" to get the gun cleared.

    Delta opens triangle route

    You mention the lack of an agreement, and only so many flights allowed, and all I can think is they LOST their airline. They should be looking for new service between the two considering they need foreign hard currency.

    I have the Ruger, Lipsey's exclusive, 9.3x62 and 6.5x55 for sale. Asking $1400 each, or make an offer. Less than 20 rounds through both. I have the rings for the 9.3 but never installed them. Scope on the 6.5 not for sale. I just do not want to remove it unless it sells. I can take more...

    Ethiopian through Addis to Victoria Falls Experiences?

    Ethiopian to Harare last August. On the way over, it was fine, they were waiting for me as I deplaned, knew my name and took me underneath, and got me to my connection. Each ongoing flight had a person escorting that group onwards. Coming back, not so much. I kept trying to find someone to tell...

    9 days hunting first trip. 7 days hunting second trip(all the time my dad could take off from work in his opinion) and I thought it was too short. 3rd trip 10 days hunting. I was solo and by the end it was getting a little long. 4th trip, 7 days hunting and 2 days on the Zambezi river. Felt...

    I do when traveling internationally. I just don’t want anything to mess something up. When traveling domestically, I do not tell them before and have never had problems either way.

    1st rifle for grandson

    7mm-08 is less recoil, than comparable ballistic calibers, and the only trade off for elk is keep it within 300 yards, which with a first time hunter, you probably will anyway. Or should anyway. My wife did not like my .270 but shoots a 7mm-08 great. Has the kid done any shooting yet?
