    How do African animals see?

    Fritz Rabe's thread on smoke and the discussion of animal senses has made me think about this question. Deer are proven to be able to see into the ultraviolet range, and can thus spot clothes washed with normal washing powder, because all of them contain fabric brighteners that make them shine...

    Barrel Band?

    Once again I am going to reveal how much I don't know yet about African hunting, but, as my old teacher used to say, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

    What do you want from a safari?

    Reading the "Problem Clients" threat gave me this idea, and rather than hijacking Michael's thread, I thought I'd start a new one: A lot of you have mentioned which clients get the most out of hunts, and the question is: what is it that each of us wants to get from a hunt in Africa? This is...

    Factory ammunition for .375 H&H?

    Unlike most on this forum, I have not done much reloading of hunting ammunition. Is it really necessary to have handmade ammo for a .375 H&H? I use .270 gr Federal softpoints on Australian game, and think they would do for any African PG, but what about DG? Are there factory rounds suitable for...

    Carrying your rifle

    Hi, There is something I have wondered about for quite a while: A lot of hunters in Africa seem to be carrying their rifle across the shoulder, held by the barrel. Now, I don't doubt that is quite impressive to look at, but what is wrong with a good rifle sling? Is there a special reason for...
