So with the recent CBL decision, it was brought up, "that"or "this" is the biggest threats to hunting. So not to hijack a thread, I thought I would ask, what do you think is the biggest threat to hunting? Is it Anti propaganda? Is it loss of habitat? Social media (YouTube influences, faux...

Austria Hunt Report – Executive Summary I have to apologize for the delay, as soon as I got back, I got hit with COVID and then the craziness of the holidays. Before getting into the hunt details, I wanted to give a bit of an executive summary. Austria is a pretty amazing place, and it had been...

I have just returned from a 12 day hunt Sheep Hunt with Ruby Range, this was my second trip with them and I am not going to be doing a full day by day report since this trip was kind of personal for me. This trip was 5 years in the making and a lot can happen in 5 years (like a global pandemic)...

I bought this about 14 years ago and other than a few practice sessions it has barely been used. Essentially, you can swap out the barrel on a 10/22, load one of the arrows in (twist it slightly) and using one of the blanks provided, you have an arrow gun. The arrow goes impressively fast, I...

Just got an email saying Dallas Safari Club convention will be in Atlanta starting 2025 and will go through 2029, will a Dallas show/gala happening in the summer. Seems like we have had some big shifts with the shows post COVID. What do you guys think of the change?

Need to get some tip money for an upcoming hunt. Vortex 20x60 Skyline Spotting scope, I have had it about 10 years and I have used it maybe 6 times at the most. Comes with a protective soft cover and you can use the spotter with the cover on. All Specifications can be found here...

On December 22nd, I returned from a 2 Ibex hunt with ATP Hunt in Spain. I can’t say enough positive things about this hunt. If you are thinking about hunting Spain, DO IT! This was a bit of a dream come true, as I never thought I would be able to hunt Spain (just assumed it was for the well...

My good friend Rouan Nel from @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS is going to be in the Northern Virginia area on January 25th and was wondering if anyone would be interesting in joining us / meeting up (possibly a restaurant or at my house). If interested let me know, I am still working out the details but...

Well looks like I am going to be able to sneak away next year to do some Marlin fishing. Was hoping someone has gone FAD fishing and could give me a recomme dation. Really want to target blue marlin, and hopefully get a chance at multiple hook ups. If anyone has other hot spots to try for...

Overview/Executive Summary Before I really dive into the report. I want to recognize that I had an amazing trip and I can only describe it as almost spiritual. Kilombero North did a fantastic job and exceeded my expectations. They are under new management, and they seem to really have their...

Can someone recommend what shot size they would use for Suni, Dik Diks or Duikers? If anyone has any first hand experience I would love to hear about it as well.

For those of you that happen to live close to the Washington DC/Northern Virginia Area. We are going to be having a small get together with Rouan Nel of @Tsala Hunting Safaris on the evening of Thursday Feb 27th. I am still locking in the place but it will be in the Tyson's area so hopefully...

Hunting In West Berkshire With it being spring break and visiting London on my wife’s bucketlist we decided to make it a hybrid trip of site seeing London and taking a quick trip out to the country side so I could complete an item on my bucket list of hunting England. So we spent 5 days in...

All, Last year many of you generously supported the Eastern Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation by purchasing a chance for a Dall Sheep Hunt. The funds raised from that raffle were able to assist with a Sheep Transplant in Wyoming and directly supported our mission of putting and keeping...

So I am doing my research and starting to plan my next big trip. I was looking at Burkina Faso but that has taken a turn. So now I am left with Benin, Cameroon, or Uganda. As background, I am just hunting plains game and not any of the iconic species of that country. There are some smaller...

So two years of planning and 7 days of great hunting and it is now time to report back! This trip was different than my previous safaris as I had 4 first timers with me, one of which had never hunted before. We had an awesome time and I think total we took 23 animals. I am slammed with work...

First and foremost - All I can say is this hunt was just absolutely awesome! There is nothing I can complain about and it far exceeded my expectations. Just an amazing hunt with great people. To give everyone a heads up I got my sheep! But I would give them 6 out of 5 stars. I also want to...

So this is a tough discussion and I have a bit of a dilemma. I am torn between two outfitters and I am planning to book my next safari for 2018 in a couple of months. I have got it down to the last two though I have talked to many great outfitters. But I am pretty torn, I have a feeling on...

Yes, eating lobsters is now considered animal cruelty. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/animalia/wp/2017/03/07/a-seafood-company-killed-a-lobster-and-was-convicted-of-animal-cruelty/ A seafood company killed a lobster — and was convicted of animal...

I am thinking about getting my next mounts to be pedestals to save wall space. Just wondering if it is possible (or a good idea) to buy the bases stateside if I am getting my taxidermy done in RSA. I was thinking the extra weight and space of bases might run up the shipping costs. Has anyone...

Found this article and feel a lot is BS with an agenda. The fact they are praising the Chinese is astounding. They also praise the burning of Ivory. I do think it highlights some of the dangers that PHs and operators face everyday. But really shows how shows like Ivan Carter's War need to be...

All just wanted to give a brief review as I finally have wifi. I got my tuskless and had an amazing adventure. My hunt had it all and I will never forget the experience. I can't say enough positive things about Martin Pieters safaris and will give the full report once I get on my laptop.

So for the second time in as many weeks secret service had to rush the stage due to an animal rights protester. If Hillary wins, I hope and pray that she remembers these crazies and doesn't fold to any political pressure. She strikes me as the type of person that would remember something like...

So after my last trip I was dying to get back. This year was a busy year with both my wedding and my sisters wedding. However, this presented the perfect opportunity to potentially get a late season hunt. I want a leopard really bad! However, I have decided that when the time comes for Mr...

For of you guys who had the honor of hunting Elephants. Would you recommend a scope or open sights? PHs feel free to respond as to what you would like your client to bring?

So when recently looking at deal on AH, I did some price checks with flights and one of the better price and timing wise flights from Dulles into Zimbabwe was Ethiopian Airlines. Has anyone ever flown with them? Would there be any issues with the gun transfer in Addis Ababa? Any information...

Hey everyone, so I am looking at a couple of different outfitters for a sheep hunt and was wondering if anyone has hunted with following guys in the Yukon. Widrig Outfitters Rogue River Ruby Range Outfitters I might consider a few guys in Alaska as well but still running down information on...

I have been a bit of a slacker in writing the report but I got back Sunday from hunting with Comre Safaris. I had an absolutely amazing time! I knew Africa was going to be addicting but I didn't realize it would be this bad. After 2 years of planning and reading and getting ready, I can't...

So after 2 years of planning, carefully searching, reading, studying, lurking on this site and then joining. Practicing ridiculous amount of shots, different angles and positions, and too many bruise shoulders to mention and custom made snap caps to focus on speed. After Obsessing, reading...

So after this whole Cecil the lion debacle, which I think has gave us all a black eye may have actually done some good...bear with me here. First, many of us hunters have seem to finally unite. As hunters we are naturally inclined to think our way of hunting is better. Crossbow vs Bow, Bow vs...

Took a weekend to practice with the 416. Basically, it involved shooting from sticks and off handed but also did a couple of drills. The one was basically a moving target coming towards you, we simulated this by towing the target behind a jeep while the shooter remains still, I know not the...

Hello everyone, I have been following AH for a while and have finally decided to join. I want to say thank you to everyone for all of the advice and great information that you post on here. It has been so helpful. I am headed to South Africa for my first Safari in August and I am pretty...
