Hadn’t done a video in eight or nine years, and this one isn’t thrilling, but the occasion was special to me. It’s the last time a handgun will arrive in the mail here in my country, in all likelihood, and I wanted to capture what I chose and why. Here’s my last handgun.

Work Guns I’ve Known… I have owned and have used a diverse range of guns in my professions in the outdoors as a bush pilot and guide outfitter who specialized in coastal Grizzlies, Brown bears to our American friends. The guns range from a .375 H&H double rifle to a Glock. Those two actually...

After a long stretch of writer’s block I had to find my voice again, and what a way and setting to do so a double Grizzly Bear hunt is, at least in my mind’s eye. No question the bottom of a bottle of Aberlour, a pipe, and some successive good strong West Coast IPAs have helped open the literary...

We started an outfit on the North Coast of British Columbia just south of the Alaska border this spring, it was a leap of faith for my wife and I and so far, so good. Here are the fruits of the first two parties through, will be additions as the season progresses,

Wildfire at work here in Northern BC, flames exceed 100m / 300' tall. I'm flying a coworker on board took the video, this was my moose hunting area will look different now. This is only a tiny fragment of the burn, less than 1%.

I have a 5,300 square km / 1.35 million acre operation on the North Coast British Columbia, just south of the Alaska border with the largest tract of temperate coastal rainforest in the world. The world's biggest mountain goats call the region home, four out of five of the Boone & Crockett top...

Decided I needed a project to get me through our Northern Canadian winter that isn't gone for awhile yet. Carved a Big Five themed pipe, it received its first coat of oil tonight. Thought you guys may enjoy, the little motifs on the back either side of the stem are the two of the five I've been...

Here's an odd proposition. I'm this guy, I was taken for everything I have and more for years ahead on a Rhino hunt scam in 2014: http://www.africahunting.com/threads/south-africa-unnerving-situation-with-rhinocon-anton-bakker.17695/ Long story short I sent everything and even took a loan for...

This is a very special Mauser, and likely the rarest you'll ever encounter. There are only two known Kurz Small ring Mausers, this one which is the first, and one other from a year later in 1902. I gave my information and photos to Axel from here, a Mauser collector and friend of Jon Speed who...

I have paid in full for a White Rhino hunt, my trip is supposed to be in January. Unfortunately, I received an email recently stating all communications are now to go through him, and not my agent Theo / SkinAfrika (a very good guy I've dealt with before), and to pay him an undisclosed amount...

I was shooting this afternoon practicing for my Elephant and Rhino hunts this winter. I put a camera on my head while firing .375 H&H, .450 Rigby, .470 Nitro, and .505 Gibbs while practicing transitions on targets and speed. I live in Northern Canada, one of the last great wildernesses, and we...

I hope the format here works, it's a challenge transferring between platforms for a non-tech savvy fellow such as myself, if there are issues the original is found here, along with the photos...

Kalahari Lion and Oryx / Gemsbok hunt, with some nice pics of my wife's from later in the trip, finally done editing the video. Unfortunately, hours of walking after tracks in the sand wouldn't hold one's imagination, so I only put in a couple clips of tracking to keep it interesting, but if you...

Big thanks to San Souci Safaris and SkinAfrika to helping us get this hunt together. About a year ago, I and many others saw a Namibia problem Lion hunt that Theo (SkinAfrika Consulting) posted that captured more imaginations than just mine I'm sure. Trouble was, it looked like a heck of a great...

Reviewed my Sauer 202 Forest (20", 9.3x62) Takedown, hope it is of use and interesting. Sauer 202 Forest Takedown 9.3×62 & .30-06 Review | morrisonarms.com

I read the energy requirement and it doesn't seem there's a .375 minimum bore, is the 9.3x62 legal for Lion in Namibia? If loaded past the energy limit (it comes up about 100ft-lbs shy in factory loads)? Much obliged.

I understand there are some great Polar Bear deals right now, and it might just be my time to get a shot at rounding out my bear collection. I'm Canadian, if that helps things so no export worries. Any leads? Cheers folks.

My brother and I have just returned from a hunt generously donated by Spiral Horn Safaris for a hunting photo contest here on AfricaHunting.com. We had an absolutely fantastic time, both in terms of the game available and hunted, and the hospitality. Just last year I hunted buffalo in...

My brother and I depart for RSA on the 1st of October, beginning our long trek from Northern Canada to the hunt we won in the hunting photo contest courtesy of Spiral Horn Safaris and AfricaHunting.com. It's my brother's first time hunting Africa, and he's getting the gitters as we get close...

I've gone through Frankfurt with firearms, a breeze, but how about London? Have heard horror stories like everybody, and it makes me nervous. It's cheaper and more convenient for me to transit through London from my home in Canada, any reason I should avoid doing so and pay a bit more to go...

This is a long term idea, very long term, as I still think I'd rather do more dangerous game hunting than buy nice rifles (though the doubles will woo me, one day). In the meantime, I read, and read, and read about them. In December I'll hopefully get to handle both side by side as well, the...

Looking to find out from what cases can one form .375 Flanged brass, I see RCBS makes a limited production case forming die, and I'd like to figure out how to form "practice brass". I don't own a gun in the cartridge yet, but I'm looking at either the .375 Flanged or the .450-400. Brass...

I'm sure a good few have read this already, but it's an interesting tale from 1956 from the largest confirmed land animal ever to be shot, a 24,000 lb bull elephant in Angola. Sounds a little bizarre in how many shots were fired, I imagine shot placement wasn't the best, but I believe the...

I've read cautionary tales about using anything other than conventional lead core bullets in doubles, I presume due to the stress a solid copper bullet, or even a Partition, can cause to the soldering. Is the Krieghoff Classic capable of safely and routinely shooting Barnes TSX's? I took my...

I just returned from an absolutely fantastic time with Touch Africa Safaris of Zimbabwe, with my PH Jon Collett. Four months back or so, I posted here looking for a deal a young guy could afford to make a dream come true, and I was referred to Terry Wagner of Worldwide Hunting. Being a complete...

I'm off in a few days, any advice for a guy looking to self-clear my two firearms and ammunition?

I'm hoping to use a locked Pelican case for my ammunition, seperate from the guns of course. I'll be flying a combination of Air Canada and SAA, from what I can tell, I'm in accordance however I've recently heard rumours of metal cases being required. Any thoughts?

I'm going to be hunting in April, and will be taking a Cape Buffalo, and have been thinking about taking a Warthog and a Baboon. Now, any advice on getting just the prepared skulls home is appreciated, I live in Canada for reference. Will the Warthog or Baboon overly complicate things, and...

Wanted to buy: Boddington on Buffalo (the first one), cheers!

I've seen a good bit of cautionary advice saying don't buy a double in a cartridge without a rim, how much weight should I give this? I'm already set up for .375 H&H, brass is easily attainable, and a Krieghoff in the H&H would be a gem for me- if of course I'm not handicapping a magnificent...

Now, here's a horse I'm sure is rather ripe, though I have to ask: what would you recommend, for a budget Cape Buffalo hunt. I have no illusions of book bulls, or even one to make it onto the outfitter's website. I'm quite simply a young guy looking to hunt a decent buffalo, at a manageable...

Hello all, looking at hunting my first Cape Buffalo this year, preferably in Zimbabwe, if I can find a hunt I can afford sensibly. Look forward to browsing the forum.
