    Which sport hunted trophies may not be imported back into the United States?

    Some species may be allowed to be hunted in a particular African country however some may not be brought back to the US. My question is what trophies can't I bring back to the US? I'm pretty sure I know some (rhino, cheetah?, etc.) but I might be wrong. I just don't want to set my heart on a...

    Good traditional safari jackets?

    Does anyone know of any durable yet breathable safari jackets good for year round use? I'd like any suggestions, but traditional style is preferred. Most of what I've found is cheap and too thin to hold up.

    Introduction Double Rifle Recommendations?

    Now, to be quite honest, before I joined this forum I had only vague knowledge of the existence of double rifles. Since then, if there's one this I learned, it's that they are expensive. I see their value for dg, but I'm in no rush to hunt dg. However, I do want to start saving for one. Do you...

    Solid color or camo? Traditional or modern stylings?

    Do you prefer to wear camo or just solid colors when hunting? I was always partial to muted solid colors (khaki, od green, etc.) Also, if you showed up in Africa wearing one of those traditional khaki safari jackets, will your PH laugh you out of the continent? Just trying to avoid making a fool...

    .375 H&H Do Critics Exist?

    Since I began researching African hunting, I have seen .375 H&H doted on more than any other caliber. In my philosophy, nothing is perfect. So where are the critics? What are the realistic limitation of .375? When is it overpowered? When is it underpowered? Alternative calibers?

    Mannlicher Full Length Stock. Any Real Purpose?

    Do Mannlicher stocks actually do anything? Or are the just for aesthetic purposes. I can understand if you said that it reduces barrel harmonics, but that wouldn't matter unless you were shooting at extreme long distances. Thoughts?

    Where to start?

    I've just got to a point in my life where I can justify and afford a hunting expedition in Africa. The only issue is, I don't even know where to start! Honestly, I don't know how to start planning because there are just so many options, country, game, accommodations, length of trip, etc. I could...

    Multiple Rear Blade Sights?

    I recently saw a post on a thread about the best all purpose caliber (sorry, I don't remember who posted it), and they said their choice for the best set up would be a .375 H&H with rear blade sights cut for 50 yds, one for 100 yds, and the third for 200 yds. Now, I've been into shooting sports...

    New Member from Florida, USA!

    Let me just start off by saying I have no experience hunting in Africa. None. I've never even been to Africa. However, I have been shooting and hunting nearly all my life. I'e gotten to a position in my life where I can financially support international hunting somewhat, and I came here to...
