US sanctions Zimbabwe president Emmerson Mnangagwa over human rights abuses

Phillip, where I read what Lon posted was you have to show all of your brass. Equal what you brought in. Do they actually write it down
Your ammunition count is written on your temporary license. A point some keep missing "you see missing brass", they see missing cartridges.
 
We just completed a 5hr drive from Mlibizi to destination X. We drove past a very large hunting concession. In recent years it was heavily poached by their employees. The reason why they had not got paid. Where did they get the ammo mostly from sympathetic hunters. Maybe that is why they are checking the ammo count in certain areas. Maybe it is because of the importance of who owns that concession.
A box of legal .375 H&H sells for about $400.00 a box. A game ranger can make a lot of money off a free box of ammo. If he had to pay for it, it would make a big dent in his profit off of bush meat, ivory and bones.

I would be interested to hear more on this. I had a strange situation in Harare this summer coming home. They actually freaked out over the EMPTY brass. I had the remainder of my loaded ammo and I had some of my brass, mostly from my double because it has extractors so I stuck them in my pocket then put them back in the box with the ammo. When we checked back in at the airport to leave the freaked out and kept saying they had to "verify" and then did a bunch of fake texting and calling. I told them to just keep it, but they continued carrying on and jabbering with each other and texting people. Finally they said they were going to keep the brass. Ha ha. I was like sure whatever man. I brought the rest of my loaded.ammo home, but they kept like 6 or 8 empty 470 nitro brass?
Probably were still working on their personal cartridge wall collection...

Have a look af our latest post on the biggest roan i ever guided on!


I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
