Myself I would not own a double that used a rimless cartridge. Lon

Hi Bowjijohn, What your simulating is a long shot on a croc. If your off just a hair the croc is probably going in the water. This is going to cost the hunter after airfare, daily fee, trophy fee etc $10,000. I own a .300 WM M-70 that might pull it off, maybe. At this time we have monster...

Which International airport are you flying into? Victoria Falls, our clients seem happy with Ethiopian and Firearms are a breeze. Lon

A long time ago. A VP of one of the major airlines once told me. On upgrades your chances are much better if you are in suit & tie. Of course that would leave me out. Does it apply today? Lon

Oh I wish it was here in Zim. If My wife was not hunting or doing the 100 things necessary for a hunt she would be on that doing roads or enlarging pans. Lon

I for one think you have written a great post. As a PH my old culling belt has at least 2 to 4 solids in it. Even if I am hunting leopard. What if a elephant decides it has taken a massive dislike to our blind, it has happened. A couple solids are cheap insurance, to be used at the correct...

Each client is different. I have had clients that I new that I knew I did not have to be concerned about and at least 3 that I would prefer the tracker carried the bolt and 1 of those 3 was using a R8. There is something special about the sound of a round being chambered when starting your...

Have a great my Zimbabwe favorite and your with a great company.

In a word perfect Caliber.

No problem on Hyena. Buffalo would be a separate hunt added on either at the start on end of hunt. Lon

On a double, get close to large taget. Shoot one or both barrels. Measure distance to put spot on according to mfg. info. Move to desired distance 60-70 yds. Adjust as needed. Lon

You really should protect your ears from the sun. Floppy covers that ok. Lon

Baseball cap or medium small floppy. Lon

Stunning.

Buy it. Lon

Zimbabwe has had political problem. At least the rural areas I consider it totally safe. Be sure you define the terms temporary and permanent “very big difference” Lon

Metric or imperial screw them in with fingers. Lon

Maybe a few members could mention Red Dots sights in this post? Personally I think they are great, if not increasing distance but close range accuracy. Lon

Thank you Craig, I have had a couple of hard days.

Yes it is possible

Hippo is $4000 trophy fee and you would need to add extra days @$600 per day we would have to go to another area for Buffalo but the trophy fee for Buffalo is $5500

Looks like you had a good hunt, Congradulations. Who was your PH

Two bull elephants available for 2024 $15,000 all inclusive pick up & return vic falls. All hunting will take place in Binga district. At added cost spotted hyena may be added. Lon

Sorry overlooked the names. Now they will go into a serious state of concern for your health. Speedy recovery. Lon

Hi As, a company we use Iridium, ok. One of our PHS phones his wife nightly, Iridium. You will usually be ablestanding in a certain spot facing a certain direction with only lip movement. The rest of use our cell phone. Lon

Prayer added, sooner or later it is forget about shot placement, it is point or prod & shoot. Thank god for Hero trackers, funny we don’t even know their names do we? Lon

Want spotted Hyena my wife is 100%. Ususualy taken multiple per night. Your rifle or we are builting a special rifle. Lon

Heym

Hi Rate Breed having a braai at the old bar, wish you were there.

A hunting trip is just that hunting. A good safari is MAGIC. Lon

Well put.

Heym .89b .470 or Heym Martini mauser ,404J

I am home now. For 3 days after arriving things were very touch and go. We asked a African Doctor, Doctor Finnety he came and stayed for 3 1/2 days and got me going again. When asked how much I owed him. His answer seeing you better is enough. Lon

A agree on colletts Lon

Rare breed is truly a rare, I just hope that I am around for his next hunt, if not Liesl will be. Lon

Hi Rare breed, Thank you for the kind words. You know you have done right when the workers can pick up the pieces, put them back together. Maybe even do a better job than if Liesel had been there. No way I was going to miss meeting you! Lon

Hi Kevin, Maybe you have seen it bust in Pretia E I saw a better than new series land rover 1954

Swiss army Jeager

As a visitor you have nothing to be concerned about. as a Zimbabwean we are very concerned.

Truly a special beauty. Lon

Ben Lilly & probably several others. 300l or 300lb pig. Hardest to kill?

Call Gail, she can give you good advice. Also Gigas in Bulawayo. I have brought many pairs back thru the years. 90% were to small (usually) in the toes. Courtneys are using new lasts now.that give more toe room. Lon

I do not have a dog in this hunt, but I would like to say. When you are dealing with a small one man shop. Health issues can arise, such as a stroke. I am not saying that is what has happened. We all go through health problems. Lon

Just a thought get your Courtneys apon arrival . Try them on at Faradays,!try them on on your tent. If camp has grass maybe carefully walk on grads until your sure they are comfortable. People who cuss Courtney usualhave bought some thimg without toe room

Whatever you think it is going to cost you, double it. Lon

Zimbabwe road blocks today are just a minor inconvenience. Today

Hi RB, I am looking forward to getting back home. If i can get everything organized with Dr. I have arranged a helicopter to get from the falls to Milibizi.

Mahindra S11, best 4x4 value on the market.

Welcome to the site, just learn what to retain and what to discard & use enough gun. Lon

Ears in ears out, I will not argue the point (not that i disagree). It was not only avoidable, the ele was baited. Lets see what parks does to the responsible peoople. Lon
