Fished for 5 days at Cahora Bassa for Tigerfish and Vundu — great trip but with travel on both ends it took nine days total — then hunted for 7 days in Limpopo and then to Cape Town/Stellenbosch (sp?) for a few days of touring/wine tasting and hanging out. Animals taken — Very old Kudu, big...

Here are some of the pics from the second part of our Safari— this was some hunting, some fishing and some sightseeing with Thaba-Tala Safaris in Limpopo. Dont have time to write the stories yet, but here are the pics to hold the place for the report.

Just checking in now that hunting has stopped for a few days — full report to follow on my return to states. On day 10 or 9 not sure and have finished up hunting with Kemp of Africa Anyway and will be sight seeing for a couple days. Food is ridiculous - have gained too much weight to fit into...

I understand or think I read where there was a business lounge at the J-berg airport for Qatar? Is this correct? Is it open these days? as anyone used it recently and if so how was it? I have a few hours to kill in the airport before we fly to Port Elizabeth.

With all the personal; crap I have had going on— If I am honest I just wasn’t into this hunt. But, things have a way of clearing themselves up (some good and some sad) and now I find myself 8 days away from a month in Africa. I am getting pumped, my issue now is this is starting to become like...

12 days till we leave for our trip to SA— I was thinking of bringing 20k for tips/trinkets/emergency money etc or so on the trip in cash.We will be there 30 days and I saw the Dept of State Website and it said foreign currency unlimited if declared. Do you guys declare the cash you take? Any...

Unfortunately, because of some family situations We had to change our dates for the fist Safari to October- -some itinerary and Lori with @TRAVEL EXPRESS was awesome in getting it done. I think she must work 24/7. How hot is the area around Port Elizabeth as well Limpopo and Victoria Falls...

I like euros — I like the simplicity of it - I like that I dont need to deal with their hide or hair getting dust and cobwebs in it. But this’d past weekend— my neighbors came over and we’d were looking at the whitetail I have taken on this ranch (all euros) and all four of them said— a 161...

I have an Ernst Dumoulin Safari grade (octagonal barrel, jeweled bolt etc) 25-06 than is unfired and in the case-- pretty gun --I have QD rings for it as well that have never been mounted. I know it was made in 1982-1983 -- I need to make some room and was thinking of trading/selling it. Its...

I am currently looking at buying a new pair of Binoculars-- rangefinder built in. Currently I carry a Vortex Rangefinder and an old pair of nikon 12x bino's. I really like both but the nikons dont gather light as well as my scopes do. I haven't had any issues out to 400 yards with the...

I saw this guy on Ted talks on you tube. I think it is interesting on so many levels because he is going against the norm and his ideas are working -- but because it does not fit the narrative, he is met with incredible opposition. He is also funded by hunting -- they state that the...

Rt now I am thinking of following: 1st I have a room that is 26'X46'x13' eave and I am going to africa for the first time -- Currently I am a low fence ranch and as such all the Axis and Whitetail I kill are Euro mounted included the 161 I killed this year (WT 9 pt ) . I am booked for Africa...

Ok I booked my first safari and am now looking at options to fly from TX to SA and Nam. My issue is this-- I have difficulty on long flights-- once I get past 10 hours I start to go nuts -- I just want off the plane, sometimes it happens faster, but when and if it happens, its always brutal, I...

so-- I was just watching the NetFlix series on preppers-- I am not passing judgement on preppers-- but seriously where do they find these ass clowns? People who have just ludacris gun skills little to no safety and really samurai swords are a line of defense??? Wow no wonder liberal Merica is...

2 BRNO ZKK 602's .375 H&H's for sale Neither gun has a peep sight Both guns have handling marks, dings and scratches-- doesn't look bad at all to me but they are not pristine Both guns have the flip up express sights Both guns need a new recoil pad as they are cracked/dry rotted from sitting in...

How many of you are retired? What age did you hang it up? I recently sold out my compaies to Private Equity and am having second thoughts about retirement -- this forum helps as does some other projects, but I dont think I am ready to hang it all up -- I'm 52 and feel like there's more to do.

Bought a scope for the BRNO and now need some QD rings -- looking at ALska arms and Warn QD or possibly Talley. What height do I get? medium or high? one brand better than another? is there a preference on the side I should have the levers? RH rifle Scope is a leupold vx3i 2,5-8 1" tube 36mm...

Ok another thing I am curious about, for those of you with really fine exhibition grade guns who hunt with them, how do you keep the wood nice? Do you worry about it? Do you have a different stock for your hunts like a fiberglass stock you use or do you just not worry about it? I currently...

I have been reading and doing my homework -- a common thread has appeared (at least to me) it seems many of the folks on here are going to blaser firearms-- I have never seen one in person, but I have seen the videos and have seen them on tv shows. Can someone please shed some light on what...
