Does anyone have recent experience with this bullet on Elephant? I understand that the original version of this bullet had some bending/warping and at some point in the past a design change occurred to the current version. I have used the Safari Trophy Bonded Bear Claw in 458 Lott with great...

In keeping with the famous Festivus Holiday, I welcome everyone to air their grievances for 2022. I will begin with the following: The joke of an organization "U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service" claiming to know better than the African countries on how to mange the game population in those...

A last minute opportunity hunt came open and an outfitter I know asked if I could make it happen. I immediately pulled it together and my dream of hunting the giants of Botswana has materialized. Jumped on a plane yesterday on British Airways out of LAX and am in mid transit to Johannesburg...

I’m heading to South Africa this month and have my vaccinations on a digital format on the iPhone. Will the Johannesburg authorities allow the digital format as proof for the Covid-19 vaccination or do I need to provide the paper print out? HH

Leaving today for Cameroon to hunt Bongo and Forest Buffalo. I will be hunting with Northern Operations Africa. After 2 years I must say that I don’t think I realized how much I missed Africa! I’m not sure what my internet situation will be in camp but will post from there as the situation permits.

Simple question: With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing and new strains seemingly developing as this is typed...who thinks it’s safe to travel and hunt Africa this year? I myself am torn between going and staying home and just want to get my fellow hunters opinions.

I’m heading to DSC for the first time with no target animals in mind. I have all of the Dangerous 7 except for the Elephant and that’s only because of the import restrictions. I love Cape buffalo hunting but always try and add animals that I needed or desired. I know this sounds like a...

I have purchased a CZ 550 Safari in 375 H&H for my wife to start hunting Africa with me. She loves the look of color case hardening on some of the rifles we have seen and I would like to have that treatment along with several other customizations( Muzzle brake and cap, Mercury recoil reducer...
