    Snakes in South Africa

    Didn't know there were any Cobra variants in Africa. Thought it was strictly an Asian species. https://www.westernjournal.com/watch-mother-squirrel-courageously-battle-cobra-order-protect-babies/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=conservativevideos&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=libertyalliance

    Looking for feedback from Africa hunters with experience using 6.5mm cartridges

    I am probably opening up a pandora's box, but thought I'd ask. I have a Model 96 Swedish Mauser that I had customized back in the 90s. Dumb move in that I made it too fancy to hunt with. My gunsmith buddy went all out on it, jeweling the bolt, and had a stock made with exhibition grade...

    I've been looking around herein, but am noticing the only forums/events where Africa hunting safari outfitters will be is out west. Do any of you attend shows in the eastern USA? For instance, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania has one in the beginning of February.

    Thoughts On Bringing Vs Renting Rifles To Africa

    I have a friend who hunted plains game in South Africa a few years ago. He apparently had problems previously on a hunting trip for the U.S. to Canada, where his gun case went missing. Fortunately, the airlines finally found it and got it back to him, but way too late for the hunting trip. He...

    Revisiting AfricanHunting.com after a few year hiatus

    Another Ole from Minnesota joke...

    Ole was down at the pond where he often was catching some fish by hand, a skill he'd developed as a kid in Norway. Sitting next to him was a bucket with some of his catch. He's just sitting there watching for movement in the water for his next catch when a ranger comes up behind him and...

    THOUGHTS ON TWO CLASSIC RIFLE CARTRIDGES FOR AFRICA?

    Being a gun aficionado, especially for some of the classic cartridges, I just wondered what you all thought about two old timers for hunting in Africa. One is the 8x57 Mauser and the other the .404 Jeffrey. I'm curious if anyone has had experience using them, especially in Africa, and how...

    Unintended Meetings with a Big 5 in the Bushveld?

    I have a question. Just wondered, as I'm planning for a hunt in South Africa, what the chances are of running into a lion, cape buffalo, or any other dangerous game while hunting plains game in the Bush. It's only logical being they're out there that such chance meetings occur. So, if it...

    Hello all. I've not been much of a forum user prior to now, but thought I'd look for one relating to hunting in Africa. With a Google search, here I am. :) Just a few months ago I started wondering about hunting in Africa. While I'm fortunate enough to have a place to hunt white tails and...
