Headed to Botswana via Johannesburg on May 23rd flying Qatar via Dallas. Only a little over 30 days away and getting really excited. Hunting with NKWE with eland and kudu the main targets this trip

Nice stags, enjoyed your report and look forward to hearing how the buffalo hunt unfolds

I hunted red stag and Russian boar in March 2023, had my shipment arrive in Montana by first week of October. Hunted with Algar Safaris. Shipment came from BA to Seattle via American Airlines. I have a hunt report on AH with all of the shipping details

I have a .308 featherweight and a .375 Safari Express that was made in New Haven in early 2000’s. My 375 shoots 1” MOA groups with both 300 gr TSX and 300 gr A Frames Shedhorn Sports in Ennis MT has a used one on the shelf right now, can look it up on their website

Welcome, glad to see more Montana members. I’m in the Ennis area if you are ever over this way

Botswana for sure is the best place to look for a free range kudu going 60” of more. I’m hunting with NKWE at the end of May, they take several over 60” every year and trophy fees are $1700 currently for kudu. Search NKWE on the forum and you will see pics of 60”+ kudu. Tholo or Bokomoso are two...

Hey Rick, this Pat Toalson down in Ennis. I filled out my 4457’s in late Feb or early March for my June trip and did them on the computer typing in the info and printed off to take to the Bozeman Airport customs office. When I got there the agent didn’t like the fact that mine didn’t cover the...

Welcome, the Eastern Cape is a beautiful area of RSA

[emoji106] look forward to reading this one too

Welcome to the group, share some stories on your hunts in Sweden with us

The Madison is in beautiful shape right now, a little low but fishing well. Sunny and 60 degrees here today, I'm looking at the river from my window. We need a little more snow to give us good water thru the summer. Hope you have a good trip

Nice video

Like many it is really kind of hard to say what is my favorite, like @Scott CWO mule deer and elk are tops at home. When it comes to Africa I think chasing big kudu that can disappear in a heartbeat has to be right up there at the top based upon what I’ve been able to hunt so far.

Congrats to everyone on some great bushbuck! I like others really like hunting them and just the look of them, always on the agenda if an opportunity comes up. So far I’ve only gotten two, first was in Limpopo, a nice 17” ram but we hunted at night in tall grass along at field edges by the...

Hope you do well with your treatment and are back at it soon to prepare for June 2025

Welcome to the forum

Buyer beware here, I posted this previously and hate to contradict @Rare Breed, however Delta has reconfigured their ATL - JNB Flight 200/201 A350 aircraft on flights starting in June. Delta announced this earlier this year, at least to their frequent flyers. See below screen shots I took just...

My roan taken in 2022 was shot thru the heart at about 15 yards. We had stalked the roan for quite a ways but lost sight of him, while kneeling in some thick brush we could see his legs as he walked towards my PH and I, we waited and he came to an opening at 15 yards and I took a free standing...

Welcome to the AH family

I had Russian wild boar in Argentina after I shot mine last year and it was very good. Curious, what do the outfitters in Africa do with warthog and bush pig meat? I haven’t shot either yet and don’t know that I’ve ever had it served.

Bump

Ammo all sold pending funds

That is a beautiful rifle, someone is going to be very happy getting it

Bummer on the walls blowing down during the storm, I imagine you are well on the way towards completion though by now. That looks like it will be one big trophy room! Can't wait to see more and as Mort said, it is almost as exciting as building my own!

Price drop for the 375 HH ammo loaded with Barnes 350 grain TSX. Both boxes (37 rounds) for $175 plus $15 shipping

Price drop to $200 for all three boxes including shipping

Norma solids and brass sold to @rwp315 pending funds. 350 Gr Barnes TSX ammo still available.

@Robmill70, it’s all yours, SPF. Thanks

Ammo sold to @Legend413 Electronic caller still available

I decided recently to sell my .22-250 rifle since it was a safe queen and had only been used to take 1 pronghorn antelope a few years ago, never got around to doing any coyote hunting. Since I no longer have the rifle I have some ammo left over to sell along with a NIB predator call. Selling...

In cleaning out the gun safe I decided to reduce my inventory of 28 Nosler Ammo. My Browning X Bolt shoots the Nosler 175 gr accubond long range very well so I've decided to just focus on using this ammo since I have a good stock of them. The following ammo for sale is some I bought when I got...

I went through my gun safe over the weekend and decided I have way too much 375 HH ammo so thought I would put it out there for others who may be looking. My Win 70 Safari Express really likes Barnes 300 grTSX and Swift A Frames, so selling off what else I have available. I shot 3 rounds of the...

Best wishes and prayers for a full and speedy recovery and and end to the pain you have suffered through

Congratulations, very nice

Partitions and DGX sold to @etsonaut pending funds Please PM me with your shipping details and we can discuss payment there Pat

Welcome

Hmm, that’s interesting about it being applied only to people who had been to Argentina before. I don’t remember exactly where I got the info, may have been initially from my outfitter and then looked it up myself. I had been to Argentina three times previously, all on trips to fish though...

Welcome, jump right in planning that trip and never look back

Well crap, I didn't see that R8, probably a good thing!

Two of the other Ruger 1’s were a 338WM and a 30-06

Both NKWE and Tholo are in the Ghanzi area bordering the Greater Kalahari Game Preserve area. Hundreds of thousands of acres of free range hunting. They have really large kudu and eland in the area. Free ranging dangerous game as well

NKWE Safaris in Botswana would be another great option

Stopped into my LGS in Ennis MT today to check out what they had, we see a lot of firearms for sale on consignment here. Unfortunately, because we have a lot of retirees and high dollar vacation homes and ranches in the area, they are usually the collection of someone who has passed away and...

By the way, we have flown Delta to Argentina as well on each of our four trips down, although three were fishing trips. I’ve flown Delta with rifles several times with no problems either. Although sometimes I do think status helps, after flying them for 30 years for business I’ve got over 3M...

I own several Model 70 rifles that I love to shoot, my outfitter had a Model 70 featherweight in 7mm REM Mag for me to use (that was lights out accurate) so it was almost like using my own rifle, but I really did want to take my own as well. My wife and I spent a week in Mendoza following the...
