Thanks green chili.

How do you attach a video? Any one know! The horn was just broken. That’s why he shot it.

I’ve shot them all except Damara Dik Dik .Id go with the Hornet. Here’s what a 458 solid does. I took the pic because it was a monster. After seeing how small they were I passed so owner shot it!!!

First two are from East Cape,second one is 49.5” and one of my better trophies! Nambia free range 52 “,East Cape, 43” last 3 Botswana all over 55” free range.Shot 3 at Eden, Nambia with Jamy Traut 51- 53 inches, no pics. Lastly Natal, Free range 48”.Shot one in Zim, Songo river 48” no pic. Shot...

That’s good to know. Someone posted they got in trouble on that, but the gun permit concierge worked it out. That’s what I’m going off of. Maybe it’s not the law?

San Francisco. I only had one gun in one case so not sure. I believe it’s per case??. Very important—-you cannot place two different persons guns in one case. It’s against the law in Jo’berg. Also can’t take two guns of same caliber. Your worst case scenario for 1 person is$100 bucks per gun...

The Business/First class lounge in Heathrow is awesome. Huge! The one in Jo’berg is much smaller but very good. You just tell the concierge you need a shower and they tell you which door number. Food is top notch. You’ll really enjoy them especially with nine hour layover. They have a new...

I’ve been through London several times on Virgin Atlantic with guns and you will have Zero problems. It’s $100 bucks each way. In SFO they now load your gun on plane after TSA checks it. You fill out their pink slip with serial number, etc . 2 minutes. You then do that again in Heathrow at...

I fly Virgin Atlantic on points. Bank America Mastercard no yearly fees. Biggest problem is you normally can only get economy seats and have to upgrade from there with cash or sometimes points-normally. Each leg is 10.5 hours or less so and two legs each way. I usually upgrade to Premium economy...

If you choose Christian Weth and Uganda Wildlife Safari’s. I can highly recommend PH Derren Ellerman. l hunted with him at Niassa Game Reserve with Kambako Safaris. He’s a top notch professional and has been hunting up there for 4 or 5 years now.

I will try to clarify the relationship between Tholo (Clive) Bokomoso (once owned by Jaco’s dad) and Nkwe Safaris (Jaco).Tholo is owned by Clive who Jaco was a PH for 17 years before forming his own Safari company Nkwe. If Jaco’s dad had not sold Bokomoso to a Spaniard, there would be no Nkwe...

Graham Sales Safaris seems to be a good outfit from talking to some hunters he outfitted. I met Graham himself when he brought in 3 hunters to Niassa to a lodge he uses there - met in airport at Pemba. I met them on the way out also and all hunters were successful in Buffalo and other species...

Hard to believe I was 39 in 97 and did plains game in Swaziland and also hunted near Kimberly.

I agree on buffalo the first shot is all that counts. My friend in Montana who has shot a zillion animals their- rancher - I met in Argentina. He went to Zim for buff and I told him “first shot has to be good”, made a bad shot and they lost him. That hurts. I’ve been lucky only have lost a...

Not the actual 10 ring. I believe believe quad sticks came about, because of the bad shooting of clients and wounding of game. They make any shooter much better because they support the elbow so PH doesn’t have too. You only need to worry about up and down. They’re as close to a standing bench...

Why do you think quad sticks were designed….. I used them for the first time on my last Safari. If you can’t hit the 10 ring with them you probably shouldn’t be hunting !!!!

You will have no problems with guns through Heathrow. I’ve done it 5-6 times with Virgin Atlantic. Now British Airlines is taking guns. I’ve shot over a100 animals with a Leupold Vari-x ll 3x9 that’s 25 years old. Any hiking boot is fine. Merrill’s and the like. I do like leather, but I also...

If an animal makes RW and B&C you know it’s a monster period! To me the only things that really matters is the stalk irregardless of whether it’s fenced hunting or free range hunt. Having said that the RW animals I have shot in Africa that were free range mean a whole lot more to me than the...

JetJockey, Here are 4 outfits that offer cattle fencing. Real Free range hunting. This not wilderness hunting like Zambia for you and the Selous, Niassa game reserve, and Binga tribal land in Zim for me. This is four strand Barb wire hunting- like the western states.Chumlet Safaris, Tyrone...

I met some South Africans that live near where I hunt Turkey’s in California. They take groups over once a year to RSA. He always tells me to go to the largest feather farm in the world near Cape Town. I’m sure everyone who lives there knows about it and can direct you there. He takes his group...

Last question Mike. Can the trophies be shipped directly from Lusaka to USA without going to Jo’berg or elsewhere where in Africa. Like Lusaka-Istanbul-SFO or what’s the shipping route?

Hey my wife found the information. No need for a response. Sorry!!

How many hectares is it and high fenced or what are boundaries for Takeri. Guns for hire I assume?

xbr897 I hunted with Dave and Nikki at Leopard’s Valley back in 2016. Shot Rowland Ward Klipspringer,Mtn Reedbuck, Steenbuck and a really big Springbuck 13”. One of my best hunts! Dave was not my PH (Craig Done was), but I really liked his crazy stuff!!! Love Nikki. Always thought I would hunt...

My pre-64 Winchester H$H likes: 180gr partitions with 67.0 gr IMR 4350 and Fed 215 primers. 200 gr partitions with 66.0 gr. IMR 4350 with same primer. In Africa I’ve killed 60 -70 head of game with 200grainer. Duiker to several Eland!

I hunted there in October of 2022 with Kambako Safaris. If you’re hunting with them PM me and I can tell you what I experienced. It was awesome!

I shot those 3 kudu and waterbuck last May and am returning this May to hunt and fish with Jaco again. He has a great camp and the game speaks for itself. This is a great opportunity for anyone that can swing it. They have a new camp along Central Kalahari game reserve for even more variety...

I hunted with Kambako in October of 2022. Their camp and staff is hard to beat anywhere I’ve hunted. My PH was Derren Ellerman and his two Zim trackers are great. If he’s not available Ryan Cliffe and Paul will give you the hunt of a lifetime also. Anyways the buff and Eland tracking are what...

My brother killed two Zebra with one shot from a 25-06 with 120 grain Nosler Partition. Shot placement is all that matters!!!

I’ve hunted East Cape 5 times in June and July. I would take the week of the new moon on July 5. The new moon in April is the 8 which is very early. If you’re after kudu and all spiral horns the new moon is most important except for maybe the rut! I’d take the new moon if I were you.

You do not have to separate dip and pack skull/horns from taxidermy mounts - shoulder mounts etc. I just received a mixed shipment of various mounts ( full bodied Caracal and pedestal wall mounts of some tiny tens and dip/ pack skulls). Also shipped was a crate from Mozambique which was all...

I hunted with Kambako Safaris and you can’t go wrong there. By far my best buff hunt which includes the Selous for three and Binga tribal land in the Zim for two. You will go to a spring and pick up the track. If your lucky like me - 5 hours later you sneak in as they lay their in the shade. Bam...

Sabena1, He has a concession by the Drakensburg Mtn where he hunts bushbuck. I am going there in May. We saw some females where we hunted Nyala but no bucks. He said he has exclusive rights at that property. Anyways I have a feeling it’s like the common reedbuck property where in a day or two...

I’d go with Tyrone Milne at Chumlet Safaris as I just hunted with him last month and if you want a pure free range spot and stalk he’d be the best I’ve hunted with. I hunted with Crusader Safaris and took a good one there almost 27” at Umkomass river camp, also free range. The reason I like...

The bottom line to all the things stated here is this in my opinion. All barbwire fencing is free- range and fair chase hunting. Which as East mans Tv states “ the only way to hunt and take big game is by fair chase”. So the 64 million dollar question is - is the high fenced property you are...

I shot Nyala just below that straight up part of mountain. A wide bench is there. You can barely see Val sky-lined in photo. Val is to the right of little tree dead center on skyline. He is probably 1000yds away. Not a bad pic from an IPhone.

That kudu mounted in lodge has to be right at 60” also.

375Fox, Although his area is west of Natal Midlands by an hours drive I knew from hunting near Umkomass river that this area holds record book kudu,Nyala and especially Common Reedbuck. That reedbuck in lodge is probably a world record as I didn’t measure it but it’s way over 16” probably 17...

375fox, He donates 1 hunt a year and I had watched it sell for a few years while checking up on him. The donation read “free range hunting near Dundee, limited roads you need to be in good physical shape to do this hunt”. I knew this was a hunt for me! When I found out he had been Tyrone had...

The above and below pics of the Common Reedbuck are the giant marsh that stretched across this cattle ranch. The stalk took an hour plus. And resulted in a 100 yd facing shot that broke his neck.One of the best stalks I have ever been on. The Nyala had 28”” horns and 8.5 “ bases. One of my best...

So day two we head over to another ranch for the evening hunt. The wind is blowing 25 plus but we glass the big bowl in front of us that is a mile across. Seeing nothing we decide to drive to the far side at the base of bowl. It is much steeper than it looked from the high road we came in on...

Hunted with Tyrone near Dundee, South Africa October 8 to the 19. This was. This was a donation hunt for Kudu and Nyala in totally free range ranches with Barb wire fencing only. Man did I hit the jackpot! Tyrone has been an Outfitter/PH for 35 years and his connections are as you would expect...

That warthog is a beauty! Congrats on hunt.

Why would anyone avoid Heathrow when British Airways is also carrying guns now? I’ve been taking guns through Heathrow without one glitch for the last 10 years with Virgin Atlantic!
