I agree the PH perspective is needed here. All I know is that these dangerous situations worry me since I’ve been in one.

Yes sir. I agree with you. My apologies.

I know you are searching for a .375 H&H but I think if you would consider a .375 Ruger you may have an easier time finding a rifle. It seems in larger calibers you just need to keep checking gun brokering and you will eventually find one. A new gun always sounds like fun!

It is the Ph’s call. I know of many, many circumstances where this has happened. So yes sir it is a common practice depending on the circumstances.

It is interesting to see the use of different calibers in doubles.

I merely answered his question based on my years of experience hunting 5 countries in Africa with countless outfitters.

If the crate was at the airport it would incur daily storage fees. It must have been moved off site. I use Coppersmith because, among other things, have their own warehouses which reduces fees. A 26 day delay is unacceptable.

common practice especially if client is not in good physical shape.

I suppose this is my question. Why?

I have been hunting Zim annually and had another thought to pass along. I will be plugging in my August 2025 dates into google flights and monitor Qatar business class pricing. My ideal itinerary for my group is Qatar to Harare in QSuite. If the price was right I’d fly economy on this route as well.

There are scores of good options. I can recommend ARU, Frontier, and Schalk Pienaar Safaris for hunting Namibia. Compare these three on the type and price of Safari you want.

I grew up with a Winchester lever .22. I shot that gun so much it was instinctive. I recommend spending lots of time behind an open sighted .22 and then add everything else you can. I was very fortunate in my upbringing and have been very good at target acquisition whether scoped or not. I feel...

Africa is a big place my friend. There are many different scenarios and reasons why one has one set of rules and another something all together different. When on a game ranch after a common antelope there is little reason to have the rifle chambered. Whereas if you were hunting with me in...

Baggage being lost is usually either really hard luck or using multiple airlines on one trip. I’ve not lost baggage in years and wonder about some reports as to the true back story. What I am saying is that you should not worry about that with the top airlines mentioned here.

Charlie thanks for this excellent story! The travel part made me nostalgic for our Zim safari year before last. I love Namibia and the land and the people there. You did a great job showing all of that. What a great and complete safari. I bet you are glad to have booked 14 days. It really worked...
