    Looking for advice, what are the best outfitters in the eastern cape?

    Many great outfits are mentioned here for hunting. The question is do you want to do nonhunting experiences. My perception is that there are more non-hunting things to do around Limpopo than the eastern Cape. The eastern cape shooting distances will be greater than Limpopo. Limpopo is...

    Tiny ten hunting questions

    Everyone, thanks for posting on this thread. I have recently decided to go after the tiny 10 in the next year or two. In the past, I have only been interested in the larger animals. I have tried for Blue Duiker twice in Zambia but have been unsuccessful. IT was fun calling them in.

    Johnston’s Impala

    My understanding is that they are also found in Zambia. I talked with Charlie Harvey and he has talked to SCI about a separate category. They will consider the Johnson's Impala if someone can provide and go to the expense of having DNA testing done. My understanding is that they are reddish...

    Survey do you tip the owner if he is your Professional Hunter?

    I am one to tip the PH for exceptional service or letting me shoot another animal for free.. Interestingly I asked a dozen of my friends who are farmers and small business people who have hunted in Africa and their results were inverse of the poll. The vast majority in the poll said always...

    Bring home tanned hides

    Yes, I just did it a few months ago. I declared it and no problems. Also Stuart from tallyho was telling me about a repeat hunter who brings his previous years trophies back the following year as excess baggage. Once again these are finished trophies not in the "wet." Sounds like a good way...
