Deepest condolences to his family. Loosing their Dad and husband at such a young age. Yes it is the risks that make hunting Cape buffalo so exciting. My brother and I hunted buffalo in Limpopo also. A couple of years ago I shot my 2nd in North West Province with my new Mauser .416 Rigby. This...

Your PH will make sure you are safe. Their reputation and livelihood depends on keeping clients safe including from human predators. I will be going on my fourth hunt next week arranged and looked after by Marius Goosen from @KMG Hunting Safaris. I always have had full confidence in his...

One Day, Thank you for the very clear explanation. I will take a close look at the reloaded fired brass and also the differences in dimensions compared with unfired brass. I like your profile photo. I will be going to the Caprivi early June to hunt Elephant. I am taking factory loaded Norma FMJs...

Hi guys. I have reloaded new cartridges to change the projectiles for my .416 Rigby and they fed with no problem in my Mauser 98E rifle. When I used fired brass the cartridges were not picked up by the bolt and jamed. Not a problem with factory ammunition or new brass. Any thoughts on why this...

SAAM Safari Course: 15-18 February 2025 Arriving I flew into Houston 2 days earlier from Singapore, so the jet lag was still bad. There was no way I was going to drive 6 hours by myself to FTW where the SAAM course is done since I am used to driving on the left side of the road; not to mention...

Gosh those are HUGE. Wonderful trophies

I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding because all my African hunts have been with Marius at KMG. Quite a coincidence the have the same first name

With Marius Goosen? Where?

I was wondering if anyone has experience going hunting large European Wild boar? I saw a website for Huntromania has anyone used them? Any other suggestions? It would be for 2026. Thanks for any information
