You are aware that there are white Africans , correct? Lol. As a matter of fact, when it comes to individual countries, there are many people of the whiter shade that have been there a lot longer than some of their countrymen of the darker shade. For example , a white Afrikaner may have...

If you hit bone with a 223 (even with ball ammo))on any of those species , you will “blow them up “. Ask me how I know . You need to hit behind the shoulder

I'm offended! Shemp was mentally handicapped! Prepare yourself for the requisite pedantic, condescending reeducation message from our more enlightened Northern neighbors!

All this thread communicates to me is further support as to why I will not post any images anywhere in regards to my hunting hobby. This forum has been a tremendous source of information for me that I am truly grateful for. As a result, I have been on some epic hunts (a couple that would have...

I’m starting to thank God every day that I don’t live in Canada . God Bless Texas .

What’s embarrassing about it?

Looks badass. Unique design

If that isn’t a bogus site, I was born yesterday . Stay clear .

Same here

Best news all day. Depending on who replaces him, I might actually start giving them money again.

Yes , I think even in these inflationary times, that’s a bit steep

Amen....

I'lll tell you what.. I raise a toast to all the good folks on this forum (CBL Lovers and CBL Haters). Because I'd rather share a beer with any of you (hell ..even Ontario Hunter!) than any of the leftist , anti -hunting POSs that make upon about 50% of the US population these days. Cheers!

Been through there twice with a rifle and flew on Ethiopian both times. No idea on "Discover". The Vic Falls custom guys are slow but I never had any problems . The first time I went they hit me up for a "tip" and I gave them a few dollars. The second time I told them to kiss my ass. Didn't...

I had a swaro Z3 with a Heavy BRH "Christmas tree" reticle once. I had Swaro switch it out for a 4A. Was quite reasonable to do (around $140 I believe at the time?...could be wrong) and I've been happy with it ever since.

I don't have that scope, but it reminds me a whole lot of the Leupold Boone & Crocket reticle (not illuminated). I found it to be too busy and not useful for anything other than varmint hunting. But as far as illuminated reticles go, after using one (Zeiss Conquest V6 1-6 ) on my last trip to...

It ain't logical, but I must admit that the idea of farm raising predators (any predators) to hunt for sport is a very different thing to me than impala, buffalo or other cloven hoof game. Maybe because man is a predator too? Flame away.....

I may need to attend so that I can be "unmasked". Lol In all seriousness, I think this is the greatest hunting forum out there and while we can disagree, it's nothing personal. Sometimes a little liquid refreshment gets the passion going a little too strong, My apologies if anyone was offended.

I choose not to post hunt reports and photos for many reasons (like several well known members on this forum). Unfortunately, that's the world some of us have to live in (perhaps after I retire...) . But feel free to PM me.

Can't get it to post from WhatsApp, but was a video of another outstanding lion "hunt" in SA. The bottom line is.. it's not good for the sport . Do I think it should be illegal? No. But if you put yourself out there, be able to take the heat. It affects all of us (for example .. being able...

I (and a bunch of other forum members) don't want the experience of a CBL hunt. Absolutely ZERO interest. If and when I shoot a lion (which is a high likelihood in the next few years) it will be wild. CBL is Pathetic.

Your choice. But if you choose to post and brag about your canned hunt experience (that isn't sanctioned by RW, DSC, or SCI) on an open forum, please have enough intestinal fortitude to accept differing views.

I always wanted a nice SpeedMaster ever since I shot a buddies. I you want to sell it, please let me know. I'll give you what 'it's worth". May have some things you might want for trade as well. Thanks

lol. i’d go with a 22mag. Kind of like a member of the tiny 10 of domestic predators

Btw , I have nothing against Wild Lion hunting . They are actually overpopulated in some areas (like the BVC) . I wouldn’t mind taking a problem lioness ( if available ) there if I hunt buff there in the future

A feral cat

If you put my Maine Coon out in the woods for a month he would be far from tame too. . I’ve hunted elephant and buffalo in Zim just like you. Regarding CBL, hunting ditch tigers is surely a fun hunt too , but slightly less pathetic. Probably why Rowland Ward and SCI don’t support the practice .

Kind of like, we put this MGM lion out in the Kalahari 3 months ago . He’s eaten $20K worth of plains game trophy fees already but you can shoot him for $7K. Self delusion is a wonderful thing .

Just a simple form to fill out with your personal and rifle “permit” info (I don’t know what you use in Spain) . No need to do anything in advance . The main thing is know what you need for your rifle permit for your country of destination.

I have flown with them to Africa 4 times with a rifle. Only needed to declare a firearm and fill out some forms at the counter when checking bags. No advance notice required. But if it makes you feel better, do it. Make sure you bring a couple of photocopies of your passport and national proof...

On my grand total of 2 DG hunts in varied terrain (including extremely thick thorn bush) , walking as much as 10+miles at a time, I always had a sling attached and varied my carry method depending on the circumstances. Never had an issue with it getting hung up . Keep the muzzle pointed away...

I was surprised that he “wrote off” the Swaro Z3 without even reviewing it . I have 3 of them, they were all under $800 and have had zero problems with them . Excellent glass for price. One has been on a 300 win mag for 3 PG trips to Africa and many other hunts , bounced around in trucks , and...

I have a couple of boxes of 400 grain Barnes X if you are interested

Mr X and Afton House made transiting through JoBerg a lot less hassle . Highly recommend. Worth the coin

Dueling banjos…

There is no disagreement . Plenty of good places to hunt in RSA. As for me, my research is complete. I’ll be spending my money again in Zim for sure and possibly Moz and Bots in future , but not RSA.

I don't doubt you. I never reloaded or tried to "accuratize"mine, but that is what it would do at the range on average ( perhaps closer to 1.5 MOA than 2). I did love the trigger. Amazing for a Milsurp.

I had one for a while (along with a large stash of GP11 ammo). Mounted a scope using Swiss Products mount. It would honestly shoot just under 2 MOA. Extremely well made and maintained (except of course the hobnail imprints in the the fat walnut stock). Overly complicated action made me...

100%. Their industry doesn't seem to understand that or care enough to change. Hence, I won't spend another dime in that country (and I'm not alone).

Yes, the shenanigans need to be called out more often. The bad operators aren't doing anyone any favors. PHASA isn't doing anything about it to my knowledge. My response (and many others I've talked to around the fire) is just avoid RSA altogether. Better places to spend discretionary income.

The problem is that “luring” is closely akin to “hustling”. In the end, many hunters could have paid the same for a much better experience with a more honest operator (like you perhaps) . IMHO, the RSA hunting industry needs more self-policing of deceptive business practices . I think it is...

Agree that Limpopo is likely the worst “offender” in that arena . I honestly do appreciate what RSA has done in regards to making hunting a sustainable business model, preserving game, and providing an affordable place to hunt Africa for many . I just think that making their operations more...

Not talking about how hard the hunting is . Nor am I talking about any specific outfitters . Hunting on high fence , even smallish high fence properties can actually be quite difficult at times depending on a multitude of factors: terrain , vegetation , species , etc. Talking about full...

Unfortunately, other than a few exceptions (like CV) , the bullshit is so thick in RSA that it’s often impossible to know what you are getting into without doing a huge amount of individual research . And even then there seems to be a certain layer of unremovable bullshit . That’s unfortunate...

Juvenile or cull?
