Nice pickup for someone. Would have snagged it in a hurry myself.

I’ll be in Riga in early September on business. Visited last year and loved the City. That said; I’m pretty sure I took most of it in. Debating taking in a hunt in Latvia if opportunity presents itself. A quick online search turns up a few Red Stag, Roe Deer and Moose opportunities. I’ve...

In the same boat; been looking for a LH 9.3x62 for almost 3 years.

Shoot me a PM. May be a fun opportunity for my son and myself.

Limpopo 2021… 43 7/8” taken with a Heym 89B in 450/400….

It’s all a scam right now. Just got hit for $5,000+ USD for importing a blackbuck, buff skull and stag from Argentina. The stag and blackbuck having their skulls split to ensure the smallest crate possible.

They are estimating as follows. Clearance - $525, Terminal handling – Airline Fee $225, Storage at Airline $130 a day Average 1-2 days, $93 CITES, $550 delivery to residence. The delivery fee is aggravating. We chose to send to Miami so that I could go grab it myself. It’s only 3 hours from...

Had a single crate arrive this week. A Buff Euro pedestal; two Nyala Euros, a shoulder mount Sable and some flat skins done by Highveld. Export agent was AHG as recommended by my outfitter. They sent by air from JoBurg via Tel Aviv to Miami. $2,700 for the dip and trip. Crate arrived in...

Was in BA back in the Spring. We had a great meal at Fogon Asado. Would highly recommend.

Oryx and Zebra…

I’d heard the stories of PH’s not liking Weatherby Mags. So I was a bit worried when I showed up with a 300 WBY. Brake and all. A 20 year old first generation Ultralite. As a lefty; we don’t have many options. We headed to the range on the first day. We set up for a 100 yard shot. Rather...
