    Not sure what to do with your back skins!

    Hi Pheroze My guess would be that you could make a few jackets out of an eland hide. I don't know of anyone that makes jackets but gun belts, cartridge holders ect I would contact Andrew Wolff of Alpha Belts +27828201947 or alphabelts@gmail.com

    BP substitutes and air travel?

    I can put you in contact with Basil Mills who is a black powder, snake and battle reenactment fundi. I am sure he can get black powder for you if your heading near the Eastern Cape. As you can see from the picture he probably could get you a python as well.

    Best country in Africa to hunt Dangerous Game?

    Aleksander, I think the key to your question would be how deep are your pockets. If you can afford a 28 Day full bag safari I would probably head to Tanzania. If you are not going to hunt Cape buffalo, lion, leopard, hippo, croc, on the same safari I would suggest doing it in a few african...

    Botswana Wildlife Dilemma

    I have read numerous of Rons books. He has dedicated his life to conservation. It's a pity that emotion seems to trump facts and research. Ron correct me if I am wrong but you said in one off your books the "greatest threat to African wildlife is animal rightist."

    I am glad that us Guys in Africa are not the only ones that struggle to get reloading components. I have been struggling to get Hornady Interbonds for my 270 for over a year now.

    Bringing gun/silencer to US from SA

    Perhaps contact Suburban Guns in Cape Town. I know that they do export rifles for Holts. The other person who you could contact is Martin Hood. He is the leading firearms attorney in South Africa.

    One or Two Rifles?

    Grady, my advise would be to bring the 375 and the 308. Those two calipers should suffice for any plains game you may encounter. That way your daughters will be accustomed to shooting the 308.

    RMR SIGHT MOUNT WINCHESTER M70 - 458

    Zephyr, I completely understand that it looks out of place on a rifle. But if it helps you get the perfect shot it could be the difference between have a animal in the salt or paying for a lost animal.

    Not sure what to do with your back skins!

    Here is some ideas of what can be done with unused leather from your hunt. The following are example of work done in Grahamstown. Perhaps you guys in the states can get a leathersmith to do something similar. All the hides are veg tanned. It a great way of making your hunt in Africa last forever!

    What To Take In The Field

    Burt the turtle hit the nail on the head with “The less you carry the better.” Lugging around extra unnecessary equipment is both noisy and irritating. On a guided hunt I would carry the following: a. Leatherman, b. Rifle, c. Ammo, d. Hat, e. Camera, f. Watch, g. Toilet paper. As...

    Kudu Only Hunt

    Warbird782, I would highly recommend a only Kudu Hunt. Even if you keep to one province you can hunt in very different typography and vegetation. If you choose to hunt in the Eastern Cape you can hunt Kudu in the following six totally different converging biomes: (a) The Savannah Biome which...

    What will work well is to by surplus IDF Army shirts and pants (you can get them online). Its basically the same as the old South African Defense Force browns.
