    Question On Heart Shots

    As colleagues have written, when an SA node dysfunctions, another tissue takes over its function. Damage to the large vessels in the chest has the same effect on haemodynamics as cardiac arrest. Anyway, this in itself is not a reason for immediate death (only in a few seconds - the organism can...

    ZIMBABWE Hunting Information

    I won't argue, I'm not a lawyer. I will only give my opinion (and the opinion of my lawyer- not expert for internation law) on the official document, which few have read in its entirety. I would just hate for people looking for information here on forum to be confused and have problems. It's...

    ZIMBABWE Hunting Information

    Hello, I found article More than 160 elephants die in Zimbabwe, with many more at risk (and then many others) about rain and water problems in Zimbabwe. Animal deaths, little water in Vicoria falls, extremely dry overall. I will leave the impact on agriculture and the economy aside. How is the...

    Hi, does anyone have Rigby Leather Gaiters (or similar) at home? Could you please measure the dimensions? I want to try to make it at home, but I don't know where to start. Thank you.

    ZIMBABWE Hunting Information

    I am not a lawyer, but I gave the document to my lawyer to read. Using several examples (formulation and enumeration of terms), he argued to me, with an explanation, why this also applies to hunting weapons. Unfortunately, I can't translate it clearly into English, but if I go to Zimbabwe...

    Ethiopian through Addis to Victoria Falls - How is it when waiting for a long time for the next flight at the Addis Abeba airport (for example, it is canceled or missed) and vaccination against yellow fever? Can I have problems entering Victoria Falls if it's been more than 12 hours if I...

    Preparing for 1st Safari

    I myself work in the healthcare industry and I see that people often underestimate things like vaccinations, insurance, but also independent first aid (be it skills or equipment). Even the best MedEvac insurance won't help if you don't have mobile signal, a dog with rabies bites you or you're...

    I have contacted them twice recently regarding ibex hunting. Once they answered that they don't do it, the second time (I found a specific offer on their own website!) they didn't even answer. For Chamonix - try to ask @pimes ? If anyone has direct contact with a hunter/professional...

    Africa Hunting - Book

    I would start with a book of hunting stories. There are many of them here, with pictures/photps as well. Perhaps edit a little grammatically, stylistically and visually. It can also be as an electronic version in pdf. Books about big game hunting, as well as about hunting in general, are...

    Show Us Your Hunting Knife

    In Central Europe, almost every hunter carries a pocket knife with three "blades", as an example, I add below link to Czechoslovak Mikov - who would like to match Czechoslovak Brno/CZ 602 or 550 ;) For example, German Solingen companies such as Puma, Hartkopf or Böker make better/top quality...

    Rigby Big Game Lightweight 350 Rigby

    Marketing? With minimal changes in production, they will go to press with the "new for 2024". No criticism, that's how it's done. Just my opinion.

    Travel help for Hungarians

    Blaser Safari wrote in the German flyer for Zimbabwe 2022- "When carrying your own weapon - for organization and paperwork: from 350 USD" It looks manageable for hunters from Germany. But I don't have my own experience.

    Non lead ammo barrel - what is that?

    Steyr - The barrel profile with six lands and grooves (standard is 4) is optimized for solids. The less flexible solids proceed much more evenly into the barrel due to the smaller diameter of the fields. I think after reading the original German text it means shallow rifling. "Das neue...

    Trophy - The Film

    I probably wrote it wrong (foreign language) - I was expecting a documentary film showing reality from several sides, and it was. I just didn't expect that part of the reality is the guy with the crocodile (and his approach to hunting and disrespect for animals). Probably a big part, when he...

    Trophy - The Film

    I saw the movie, it's now on HBO MAX in Europe. I was a little disappointed. Not from the movie, that was very good, but from the content. For me, hunting has always been associated with traditions, regulation and choosing the right animal. Respect for animals. A trophy that shows the quality of...

    Is the CZ 550 Gone or Not?

    In our country(s) it is the one that has an advertisement from the importer and thus is known. A standard hunter is not an expert on weapons, he buys what he knows or what he is advised (ie they have in stock). I also asked in stores what was offered and sold - Blaser/Sauer/Mauser in the lower...

    Is the CZ 550 Gone or Not?

    Just my opinion - In cetral Europe, where the ZKK 602 and later the CZ 550 were produced, I don't personally know any hunter who uses them. No local gunsmith even recommended me to buy them. Reason - big differences in the quality of individual pieces. Only the better quality pieces were...

    My wife is wanting to attend some Christmas markets in Europe in December. Where can I hunt in December?

    I would suggest Brno (Czech Republic) - Vienna (Austria) - Budapest (Hungary). 3 countries, 350 km with train or car. Brno is smaller, more pleasant and less touristy than Prague. There are nice markets, handicrafts. And most importantly - Brno rifles come from there :D Similar hunting...
