    NAMIBIA: Has Anyone Hunted With Getaway Kalahari Safari?

    I'm planning a hunt for 2021 and since my non-hunting wife and daughter are going I wanted to find something pretty posh, the lodge and spa facilities look pretty nice. I spoke with them at length at Dallas and got a very good feeling.

    TANZANIA: My First Safari With Bullet Safaris In Tanzania

    First I want to apologize for taking so long to get this report going! As long as I can remember I have had a keen interest in hunting and guns. From the time I started reading I read everything I could get my hands on about hunting especially hunting in Africa. I was fortunate to grow up when...

    Thinking of getting a new "truck gun"

    I'm looking at getting a new rifle to haul around in or on the truck, utv and or atv. I have always been a blued steel/oiled walnut kind of guy but this rifle will be subjected to sitting in a rack in a dusty, dirty environment for extended periods. I have been looking at either the Mauser M18...

    30 days out!

    After a lifetime of dreaming about it my first safari is just 30 days away. I'm heading to Tanzania for a 10 day buffalo and plains game hunt with Bullet Safaris. I have packed and re-packed several times. I think I have everything short of spare SD cards for the cameras (will remedy that...

    Favorite carry on?

    I am trying to decide on a new carry on for my upcoming safari. I'll have 5 flights each way including a charter into camp. I have been trying to decide on a new bag, my current one won't meet international size requirements. I have been leaning toward the Red Oxx Skytrain but wanted to ask the...

    CEB solids in .375 ?

    Anybody shooting the 300 grain CEB solids in .375? I'm thinking of trying them for my upcoming buff hunt. I'm wondering specifically about handloading them, I haven't been able to come up with any data yet.

    Pocket cameras, anything new?

    I'm going to get a point and shoot pocket camera to go along with me to Tanzania this coming summer. I will be taking a DSLR but want a pocket camera too. I have read all the old threads I could find but didn't come across anything too recent. What are you using in the field?

    Girl gets death threats for shooting a giraffe

    I just saw this on Fox news this evening, it's pretty sad when a little girl can't share photos of a successful father daughter hunt without whackos threatening her. http://fox13now.com/2016/08/16/cache-county-girls-safari-hunt-leads-to-death-threats-on-social-media/

    First range session with my new .375

    I finally found the .375 I've been looking for an Interarms Whitworth Express. Went to the range today and did a little shooting at 50 yards off the sticks. This is with the express sights and Federal 300 grain factory loads. With my blurry vision and a new to me rifle I was pretty pleased...

    9,3x62 bullet selection

    I have started the early planning process for my first safari. I plan to hunt plains game in RSA and am taking my Husqvarna 640 in 9,3x62. I will handload my ammo but I'm not quite sure what bullet to use. I plan to try Kudu and Waterbuck for sure but would like to be able to shoot some of the...
