Hi everyone! Would love to see various images you have with historical value. Yes, all hunting images have that value, but... if you have photos that are 50+ years old, I think the historicity of the images would be of great interest to everyone else. Would be helpful to include as much info as you can with each image. It will be fun to see a photo archive of our history and lifestyle grow over the years. Enjoy!
Do you know any further details on the photo you posted?
I also find the historical pictures interesting.
There is a category "Vintage Safari".
A lot of images are short on provenance though.

Thank you - didn't know that category existed. I'm new here. Sorry!
As for that photo, I have no other details about it. Would love to know more. The man holding the .303 definitely looks Northern Indian or Bhutanese to me. I grew up in Asia and can somewhat accurately place a face from various regions.
Anyway, thanks for the tip on Vintage Safaris. Any other old pix I find will be posted there.

Just saw this old thread. Love the old photos, and have been thru the great vintage photo's here many times. The first photo here says BEA circa 1900. The man appears more Asian or Indian subcontinental to me rather than indigenous African, so could it be mislabeled? Can anyone here readily tell the difference between an African and an Asian Leopard? Or do they appear the same? In the trapper photo, the donkey with the saddle and britchen is classic......thanks for posting........................FWB

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
