Am I the only one?

Hey guys. Anyone have the latest practical info on bring in lots of cash for safari? Leaving with leftover cash , if any? Customs form 47? Thanks!

I‘ve never been one to worry at all, but don’t wanna be irresponsible. I have an elephant Safari coming up 37 days out. Last practice session with my Enfield 404 I had a Hornady round fail to fire. Primer appeared to be sufficiently dented. Never had a fail to fire before or after. Tried...

Hey guys. With any luck I should take an elephant bull this June in Zimbabwe. I plan on having replicas made of the tusks. Here’s my question. Cuan at TCI has done taxidermy for me before, and does an excellent job. My PH can get the actual tusks to TCI so they can make a cast (?) and...

Been a little behind times in doing some copper removal. This little baby’s number came up today. A little unusual. Though you might like.

Good place to get some reading done……

A young friend of mine is considered selling his 375 H&H. Winchester Custom shop. He was thinking of a giveaway price IMO. Told him to hold off, let me check with the “experts”. Not your standard Mdl 70, so I don’t know if that’s good or bad. What say ye? Not the best pics, but all he...

Well, it appears that my tender was accepted! Headed to the Klaserie / Kruger in late May. So much to do. Pisi pisi!
