    26 day usda hold/processing

    Ive had some post covid shippments clear in a good time frame, even my cameroon shippment I got back start of 23 I think was maybe two weeks max but think it was more like 11 days. SO many factors go into this we could all take a guess as why it took 26 days and your cameroon trip 30. Never know...

    26 day usda hold/processing

    Yea understand that! We are talking about goverment officals they do seem to cause alot of delays so as long as you broker was good and no extra fee's were added I guess, I would chalk it up for a longer than normal delay.

    26 day usda hold/processing

    I agree with 375fox they must have some sort of storage arangments worked out for themslves. But whats more alarming is the 26 days Do you know why they were held up that long? Part of me thinks maybe the broker didnt have something in order adn thats another reason that you didnt get storage...

    How do you guys handle ear protection whilst on safari?

    For me I've always wanted to get a form fitted hearing protection but dont want to spend hundreds on something I dont end up liking. I dont wear muffs unless on the range but when hunting I just use the little purple and green rocket ear plugs you can buy on amazon, I throw them in when things...

    Which Elephant Rifle and cartridge?

    Mtn_Infantry said it pretty damn spot on! For me the ideal would be 470 0r 577 NE from westley richards lol But reality speaking the work horse 375 works just fine. its a do all caliber and fits the bill in the lighter recoil and can enjoy shooting it much more. I like having a little more...

    Ideal distance for a Cape Buffalo first shot..

    Bruce is spot on, closer the better. I dont know to many PH that will let a new client take a shot over 50 on a buffalo.
