    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    Who goes to Africa on a safari and doesn't want to go back? Not taking your own rifle only makes sense if you live somewhere where you are limited in how many guns you can have. I do not think it is ever a good idea to hunt, and especially for dangerous game, with a rifle that the hunter is not...

    Fly Rod Advice

    An 8'' 6" 4 weight or a 9' 5 wt with the matching reel and line would do nicely. The line should be a weight forward floating line. You will also need 5x leaders and tipet material. Flies will depend on what lives in your area. For dry flies, a good assortment of parachute Adams size 16 to...
