I’m considering booking a hunt for Kamchatka Snow Sheep in 2023 and I’m doing some research. I’ve heard of some people taking a waterproof bag and packing material to bring back salted capes and skulls in their luggage. Does anyone know if this is possible from Russia or is a shipper your only...

Ok I've done some more tweaking on my sheep budget and I'm starting to have trouble deciding which sheep hunt I want to do. I know this is a good problem to have and I consider myself very fortunate to be in a position that I'm having to make this decision. Based on my savings plan, I'm...

Well, I just got back from my first Safari with Richard Holmes Safari’s near Cradock, South Africa. It was 2 days of travel and 8 full days of hunting. I couldn’t be happier with the staff at camp. The Richard and his wife Marion were great hosts, our PH’s Lalase, Bolt, and John couldn’t have...

Well I'm heading down to South Africa near Cradock in just over a month and am probably equal parts excited and nervous. Most of the prep is done and my gun paperwork is already cleared in South Africa. I'm working on my packing list and then just trying to practice at the range as much as my...

Ok guys and gals, I know I'm beating a dead horse but after watching a show last night where they were hunting Nyala, I'm second guessing taking them off my hitlist for my July safari. I went back into my budget and changed some things around to include Nyala again and wanted to see what you...

Hello everyone. One of my friends who was set to go on a safari next year is now unable to go and has already paid his deposit. Currently there is definitely 1 spot available as another friend is considering the 2nd opening. If he can't do it there will be 2 openings. This hunt was an RMEF...

Hello all. I'll be doing a SA plains game safari next July. Definitely taking a 28 nosler shooting 160 Accubonds. Need help choosing the second rifle. The options are 270wsm, 6.5x284, and 270win. Thoughts?

So I'm tweaking my hitlist for my hunt next year. I'm curious which animals you guys think are the best hunts in SA. I'll be hunting not far from Port Elisabeth. The animals I'm definitely hunting are Blesbuck and Springbuck, (included in the package with no substitutes) Kudu, and Impala. I'm...

So I was just told by my PH that if I hunt Nyala (SA) to expect 24-25" bulls. This to me seems small from what little I've researched about respectable Nyala bulls. Does anyone have any pics of an Nyala in this size range? If I decide to choose another animal to hunt instead, I'm considering...

Well I have just over a year before my first safari. I already have Craig Boddington's African Experience and just ordered The Perfect Shot. I'm looking for other recommendations on what to read between now and safari time! Thanks.

I'm heading to SA for Blesbuck, Springbuck, Kudu, Nyala, Lechwe, wildebeest or gemsbok, and Impala next year. I'm leaning towards taking a 300wsm with 180 ttsx hand loads as the primary and a 270wsm with 140AB hand loads as a backup. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, So after a lot of thinking and research, I'm getting very close to a final list for my safari next year. Here it is... Blesbuck (included) Springbuck (included) Kudu Nyala Red Lechwe Wildebeest or Gemsbok Impala I originally wanted to take an Eland rather than a Lechwe but after...

Hello everyone! My name's Logan and I live in eastern NM. Air Force brought me here but I have since separated to spend more time with my family and decided to stay here a while. Last Saturday I won an auction at a RMEF banquet for my first Safari! I plan on spending a lot of time on here...
