What a great experience with your son, thanks for sharing. My wife and I took our then 16 & 12 year olds sons to Aru 4 years ago for their first African trip. Great operation and people.

The Zambezi Delta in Mozambique is awesome in October and nobody better to go with than Zambezi Delta Safaris. Their Coutada 11 area is loaded with Sable and and buffalo. I’ve been there 3 times in October and each time it seems there is more game. Top notch outfitter with wonderful camps...

I was in the market for a new bow for a buff/hippo hunt in Zambia this year. I took my new 950gr Grizzly stik arrows to the pro shop and shot them through most of the bows. I had no real prejudice going in on bow make/model but had the Hoyt Helix and Mathews Vertix as my top choices for a DG...

When my boys were younger (11 &12) I got them a Ruger Compact in .308 and had the stock shortened. Sweet little gun with a 16'' barrel and accurate. They killed a ton of plains game with it.

Other than voiding the warranty on the stock itself it makes no sense to me why they would void the warranty on a rifle for shortening it's stock. Almost every rifle I own has had it's stock shortened or altered. Seems like standard procedure me. My brother had a Kimber Montana stock (the...

My CZ 550 .375 H&H has major problems with feeding all rounds. Also, the rounds rattle around in the magazine. My CZ 550 in .416 Rigby feeds very well though. The feeding issue is an inconsistent problem with the CZ's and I don't understand why they don't/can't fix it. I have a Ruger...

Hey BigBore, nice write-up on your hunt. You took some very nice animals, congrats. Walker and I enjoyed sharing camp with you and your crew.

My 13 year old son shot his first elk with a Ruger No.1 in 7x57 with a 140gr Barnes TTSX. Bullet performed perfect and the bull piled up within 50 yards.

I normally use RCBS but use Redding for my .470, the main reason being I couldn't find .470 in RCBS. I actually prefer the redding dies now.

Good point, thanks.

This October I will be traveling to Mozambique to hunt buffalo with my 15 year old son. Mom and brother will be staying home on this trip so it he will be just the two of us traveling. From my research and talking with the outfitter the only things I will need to carry is an affidavit signed by...

Bonded bullets like the North Fork, Swift or even all copper like the Barnes are by far a better option on buffalo than an Interbond. Yes the bonded bullets are slightly more expensive but a wounded buff is a whole lot more expensive, and not just in a monetary way. Save the Interbonds and...

Coutada 12 could not be more protected than it is under the control Mark Haldane/ ZDS. I've hunted Coutada 12 and can say first hand the area is flourishing with game, and the only reason is the hunters dollars put into the anti-poaching. To take it out of the control of ZDS is an enormous step...

Some memories from Munyamadzi with Thor Kirchner in the Luangwa Valley.

Joel Wilkonson @ Ceaser Lake Outfitters in the Yukon has a great track record of bowhunting moose. Doubt there is an outfitter that has taken more archery hunters for Alaskan/Yukon Moose than Joel.

Love the Landcruiser 70 series. Anyone who has spent time hunting Africa holds a special place in their heart for that vehicle. Here is my Landcruiser HZJ79 in Alberta Canada.

A great organization supporting a great cause! ZDS is a first class operation run by great people. The Haldane's efficiently run and proven anti-poaching program should be a model for Africa.

With so many inconsistencies it seems Germany is a good route to avoid when traveling with firearms when there are other alternatives. Since my experience with the Frankfurt Police I have traveled through Germany but this time my rifles were checked through to Lusaka via Calgary-Franfurt-Joburg...

Lori, The thing is I did ask at customs to escort us with the rifles, they insisted it wasn't necessary. It felt strange walking through the airport in a foreign country with rifles and ammo. If there was a next time, which there won't be because I'd go through Joburg, I would definitely...

Love the .416 Rigby, not only for the performance but the history. The Remington is as good and probably more practical in many ways but it lacks the nostalgia. I had my CZ re-stocked as well as some metal work like a 3 position safety, barrel band, action job and it has served me well...

Good to see you on here my friend.

My family(wife and two young sons) and I transited through Frankfurt on the way to Namibia last year. No problems re-checking guns on the way there but on the return it turned into a nightmare. We went through custom with our luggage and rifle case, claimed the guns and explained that we were...

Here's my Cz .416 Rigby, laPour 3-position safety, NECG front site, metal work to clean up the rough edges, action job, barrel band and custom stocked. Had a matching .375 H&H done as well.

No we didn't do any side trips, but we did stay at AfricaSky in Joburg on the way over. Breaks the trip up and gives an extra day to get over jet lag before the hunt.

I have hunted with ZDS a couple times, most recently this past October. Haldanes are great people and run a first class operation, I wouldn't hesitate to hunt with them. They do a proper job with the management of their concessions and it shows, not only the high numbers of game but in trophy...
