does someone knows the difference between red river hog and bush pig?;):confused:
 
I guess they are about the same size and shape....but they live in different locations. And the red river hog....is really orange/red. You will not see the bright red/orange in RSA. At least that's what I think, when I see bushpig pictures from RSA, they are gray to a light brown in color.
 
Hey teenhunter enysse is right about the different locations. I had the same question for my PH Rusty I had read that they were the same animal and I ask Rusty if that was true and he said no they are two different species of pig and that the Red River Hog is the most beautiful one in Africa with their brighter colors.
 
Red River Hogs, sounds like something wild out of southern Manitoba.
 
Central Africa Adventures have pictures of Red River Hog way diffrent

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
