Christmas came early for me in the form of a three day father/son Aoudad hunt at the Rockin G Ranch. This was my first hunt with Erik, but surely won’t be my last. There are a lot of factors that go into whether a hunt is successful or not. For me, that includes principally the people with...

I night a Ruger Alaskan Guide Gun in .375 Ruger and am now looking to feed it. The gun will be used for an eventual Cape Buffalo hunt, and likely bison and bear in the States. I don't reload (but may start because of this caliber), and am looking at Double Tap ammo loaded with 270 gr Barnes TSX...

Gents - I'm a lefty and will be picking up a .375 sooner than later (I've been pondering it for a long time and am finally going to pull the trigger - no pun intended). With the more limited selection available to lefty's, I'm considering picking up either a Browning A Bolt in .375 H&H or a...

I had the opportunity to do my first African safari in 2016, with Roche Safaris. As happens with many people, the desire to do a second hunt immediately welled up and I began considering when to go back and the logistics for bringing my son with me. Due to some good luck and the graciousness of...

My son and I leave for RSA in a little under a months and I want to make sure I have no unexpected surprises since his mother is not coming with us. I have an official state-issued copy of his birth certificate, his passport and a notarized parental consent affidavit from his mother (drafted in...

I mentioned in the "What trips are you taking" thread that I would be taking my son on his first hunting trips this year. Well, as we just returned from the mountains of West Virginia and his first hog hunt, I thought I would give a quick report. We hiked the mountains for about two hours in...

I was able to book business class tickets with United from DC to RSA for my hunt this summer. The flight is being handled as a co-share by Ethiopian air. As a result, we are connecting in Addis Abbaba before heading to RSA. Does anyone know if I will need permits or other approvals to take...

So, the Great American Outdoor Show is going on this week. It is one of the (if not the) biggest outdoor show in the States. I was there opening day and, as usual, the turnout from guides was amazing. Anything and everything you could possible want under one roof. I was able to see Roche...

I apologize in advance for asking a question that, perhaps, should be obvious to readers of the forum; but, I seem to be lost at the moment. I have seen posts where sponsors/members of this site were recommended to assist with the procedures for transporting rifles from the US to RSA. Despite...

Happy New Year to all. I'm hoping to benefit from your collective experience. I will be going on my second hunt in Africa this summer (this time with my son), and I am already thinking about the next trip that he and I can take. I am really looking at a West Texas Aoudad hunt, as I seem to have...

As I plan a return trip to SA, I am considering what rifles to bring. I am Leabing towards a .375 for the versatility. The rub is that I am a lefty. I have looked at a CZ, but wanted to check here to see if there were other/better options. If anyone has a left-handed .375 they are...

People hunt for any number of reasons. For me, one of the driving reasons is the ability to meet people and undertake adventures that I otherwise would never encounter. That is what first sparked my interest in hunting Africa. With little knowledge about key details, in February 2016, I went...

Having lurked and drawn as much knowledge from the site as I could, i wanted to become an active member so as to share experiences with this great community. In 2016, I had the opportunity to take my first hunting trip to South Africa. After a week at Roche Safaris, I was completely hooked...
