Contact Karl Stumpfe (Ndumo Safaris). I hunted elephant with him last year and head back next week for buffalo..

That's a relief!!!! No doubt if it had still been available when I get there on May 15th Karl would have "found" that bull while we were hunting buffalo and I'd be out 25 grand :)

Exactly!!! If we stop going and hunting, our African outfitters will not survive nor will the wildlife!

Man I hated wearing those things!!!

Most likely shock tube.. you are correct, no det cord would remain….

I am strictly a Swaro guy - EXCEPT for the Trijicon 1-6x24 (I prefer the amber post)…. I am not a fan of Trijicon scopes except for that one - best damn DG Rifle scope I have ever used!!! On 1 power you can shoot two eyes open with ease!!!

Courtney’s for me - 6 pair and counting :-) I have Courtney PHs for hunting and general wear, Courtney‘s in Hippo and in Ostrich for dress.. Needless to say, Jim is happy to see me each year at the SCI convention LOL!

I have 4 R8s and an F3 Trap Combo. Never had a single issue with any of them!

OMG!!!! I will be there May 15th for Buff.... Argh!!! My report is posted for last year's Ele hunt - this is a great opportunity!!

I think you’ll like the 416 Ruger - its an excellent caliber.. Mine is the original Ruger Alaskan with the Hogue stock - hard to beat.. I‘ve killed everything from a lion to a buffalo to a jackal with mine. Also - the hogue stock really absorbs the recoil and make it shoot like a 375 !

https://seaholmautomatic.com/ I wear the Seaholm Rover - Swiss built automatic, sold in USA.. I've beat it to death and no issues....

Use premium bullets and well placed shots and you will be fine.. I would consider it a bit light for my taste but it will serve you fine if used within its capabilities…

It’s not what these organizations can do for us as individuals, it’s what we can do for them and what they do for hunting…. One of the most important aspects of these organization is the number of members! The more members an organization has, the credibility is has in the eyes of the...

I flip mine every 3 years once they are depreciated.. There are always guys at my dealership just waiting for those of us that trade low mileage Duramax trucks.. On average, my truck and 15k puts me in a new fully loaded Duramax.. When I stop buying company trucks I’ll stop flipping them...

Sometimes it is where I smoke the cigar more that what cigar I smoke :)

They do tend to fill up LOL! I’m reserving room for a full mount Marco Polo and Mid-Asian Ibex, have a full mount black bear and a moose euro mount in process right now…. Yikes!! there are still a few African mounts I would not mind having.. the tiny 10 for example…

This is pretty much where i am now.. That being said, I might feel that way if i did not already have a full trophy room. I like to sit in the room surrrounded by all the memories - otherwise known as taxidermy :)

I got one back in December - super cool and easy to use!!!

Damn!! I have to move to Dallas?? If I found another woman that loved to hunt as much as I do, I'd be on one knee in an instant! My first date with my wife she went black bear hunting with me.. and went with me for the next 36 years until I lost her...

Short of hunting Tanzania, I think you picked the most expensive country to hunt :). The hunting in RSA can be fabulous and the entire fence discussion is all perception. I've busted my ass chasing animals that are technically behind a fence to never get a chance at a shot and then I've had...

This IS therapy :)

There are hundreds of outfits that will meet you requirements.. My wife traveled with me to RSA constantly before she passed - we went once a year minmum just so she could sity by the pool and go shopping - yes.. shopping! The RSA women ALWAYS know where to go shopping!! One note - take her...

So I have to ask... Why? I travel with an R8 in the Pelican 1700 unless I am also taking my double and then I use a traditional aluminum case. Years before I used an R8 I carried regular bolt rifles with scopes. I have never had an issue with any of my rifles.. never lost zero, nothing...

I use US Bank and can wire transfer money right from their mobile app…

Hurts like hell every time we lose one. We lost two between last November and this January. Both lived long, wonderful lives and were loved. I've had people say "I'm not getting another dog because I cannot handle losing them" - I'm the opposite.. I cannot see going thru life without them!

That is an very good price for that setup - unusual for Cabelas LOL! I have found that enlightenment comes with holding and handling one :). Quality take-down firearm with interchangeable barrels and guaranteed return to zero scope mounts.. I think a big item is the safety factor - an R8 does...

I have done the same thing.. 10 days in the Kalahari with one PH and them 10 days in Limpopo with another PH - both are my friends.. Why multiple outfitters /PHs? To experience different PHs.. each has their own hunting style, I think you learn more that way…. Meet more people, see more...

I think I know who that hunter is - first time hunter to Africa, lots of money to burn, poor shot with no experience….

Ndumo Safaris / Karl Stumpfe in the Caprivi!

I use the Hornady Auto Charge Pro and it works great for everything.. I do still use my Lyman powder measure for handgun loads - quick and easy..

It's called "Unconditional Love"... No matter how lousy a day you may have, they are always happy to see you when you walk thru the door...

Balkan women are absolutely gorgeous BTW.. Of course that only applies if you're single :cool:

I have hunted Roe Deer & Boar with Sasha in Serbia. I was there the first week of June 2018 and the wheat was so high that you could only see the antlers most of the time.. Most of the hunting is crop land - I would agree with Sasha that April would be a very good time to hunt there.. It is...

Its a badge of honor :) This picture is from Zim in 2015 when we were hunting tuskless & Leopard in the Makuti. I completely shredded my legs! What was funny is naturally my PH had like 2 scratches - eventually I learned how to avoid most of the blackthorn!

Ah yes.. . Air Canada.. The absolute worst airline on the planet... 100% on my never fly on list! You guys that have no other choice are in a tough spot and have my sympathies :-(

Well... it depends :). Guns that are checked thru and remain in transit do not require RSA paperwork.. I have even missed a flight and had to overnite in Joberg until the next morning and my bags stayed in transit until I reached Harare.. Last year I did RSA paperwork simply because I was...

I know Turkish did not charge me for a 3rd bag but they always get you for the handling fee - all European carriers do.. That was a PITA because Airlink in Kasane could not take the payment so when I got to Joberg I had to go the transfer desk and pay it before going on to my gate for the flight...

Many put a big orange "Security Item" tag on them but I dont recall seeing a tag that actually stated "firearm"

If you fly Airlink its not a 3rd bag charge, you are allowed a certain amount of weight and they charge for weight above that.. It does not come out to be very much - maybe 25-30 bucks if I remember correctly... I've never been charged a 3rd bag charge anytime they make me remove my ammo, I...

That is exactly how I carry mine as well! I bought extra foam inserts which I swap to match the stock and scopes I am taking and I cut a set for my VC double was well!

Interesting enough - that saddle mount turned out to be bad.. First time i have ever had that happen. It was off just enough that the scope would not zero left to right.. Blaser had me send it back to them in Texas and they checked it, then sent me a replacement..

Of course.. The picture was taken before the DS was aligned and tightened down..
