    Cool mount! I want one! (And I did mean the wildebeest. I already have a redhead to deal with.) I'm fascinated by the very empty, vacant and spaced out expressions wildebeests seem to have on their faces all the time.

    Buffalo Hunt With Leopards Valley Safaris

    Seemed to be a fine shot. Too bad the ammo didn't perform as advertised!

    Has your PH ever sent you out without him?

    If I were to be left to my own devices on my safari I'd be extremely aggravated at both my PH and outfitter. The money I am paying them is a direct reflection of the trust I have in them to keep me safe both physically and legally.

    2 Boxes 416 Ruger Hornady 400gr DGX

    Good luck man. Told my lady I was buying a 375. She gifted me with a box of 357 ammo and I've never loved anyone more!

    AFRICAN TICK BITE FEVER WHO'S GOT IT!

    Happy to help, my friend. I personally have zero knowledge of microbes or how they infect us but I'm fortunate to be right next to a lady who does. Ask away!

    AFRICAN TICK BITE FEVER WHO'S GOT IT!

    I'm fortunate to live with a world-class immunologist (often keynote speaker at global health events) and as a side dish have several virologists in my social circle as well. I've been floating malaria questions to them recently among other stuff as I make my prep for next year. I'll ask about...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First Time Hunt With Bos En Dal Safaris

    Thanks for sharing this great report! Lovely trophies as well. A bit off the beaten path for sure, which I like. Welcome to the world of hunting. A person who has never felt that rush of adrenaline, that hightening of the senses, that absolute focus and attention...they can't possibly understand.

    Snakebites - Who Gets Bitten & Who Dies?

    Glad to hear from a pro on this. Is there anything a layperson could/ should do if bitten by a neurotoxic snake like a cobra or mamba? I mean apart from getting to an ER of course. I'll admit that contact with snakes in the bush concerns me a lot more than contact with our N American varieties...

    Considering CZ Safari Classic in 450 Rigby

    Well guys I checked out the rifle today and it's just beautiful. However, I've decided on the same model in .375 H&H and placed my order for it. .450 is just too much gun for me I think and I like the idea of only having to bring 1 rifle to hunt from plains game up to buffalo. Thanks again to...

    Hi everyone from Dallas

    Thanks so much for this post. I can see the wisdom in it. I've already received several sterling recommendations and tons of contact from outfitters as well. It really is a situation of having the agony of choice!

    Considering CZ Safari Classic in 450 Rigby

    Thanks bronco. I'm a big fan of CZ rifles in general. My 9.3 is a 550FS and I love it. But I do believe I'll keep this next aquisition at .416 or less.

    I can't disagree at all. I think I already knew the answer but maybe just wanted to hear it from someone else. Thanks!

    Considering CZ Safari Classic in 450 Rigby

    Hi everyone, As the title says I'm considering a trade for this rifle at a local shop. I've noticed that ammo isn't as readily available as other calibers such as .416, etc. This concerns me a bit. Also, I should add that the largest caliber I've fired as of yet is my 9.3x62 which I feel very...

    Hi everyone from Dallas

    Guys, I've learned today that there's going to be a big bore shoot sponsored by Dallas Safari Club on Sat, May 6. I intend to go, so if anyone else can make it it would be a fun place to meet. Link: https://www.biggame.org/event/10th-annual-big-bore-shoot/

    Hi everyone from Dallas

    This is a great forum and packed with tons of useful information. I'm planning my first Africa hunt (probably plains game SA) for sometime in 2018 and getting excited by the prospect. It's something I've wanted to do since I was a teenager. I'm shopping around for an outfitter that provides...
