    Went at 35. Had just finished a messy divorce and Africa felt like a great place to clear my head. It worked btw.

    1 shot kills

    yes! thats just how i grew up here on the ranch too. If you are shooting something, keep firing until it is down. i shoot coyotes here on the ranch with a 300 Weatherby but my instinct is still to after the first shot find him in the scope and hit him again.

    What do you look for in a young Outfitter?

    I will chime in. Just be transparent. Also, being a good guy goes a long way. I booked with you after many, many offers not because you had the best place or best price but because I thought you and i could hunt hard together and have fun. I see this in my line of work too. I never want to be...

    Ghosts of Darkness 2024

    Agreed. Shot pigs with everything from 243 to 375. All were the same amount of dead. My biggest boar was 350 (wild) shot him with my 300 Weatherby, not so much needed as it's just my pet rifle and I shoot most things with it.

    Plains Game With A .375 ...Recommended ? If so 250 Grain or 300?

    I am hardly qualified to chime in but my new 375 has only used 300gr TSX. One hog here so far but I had my PH tell me today to keep shooting and bring the same thing.

    Flying through Zurich with a rifle

    All, as posted in the hunts wanted forum, I have made a deal for 2025 CB and PG in SA. Flying from the west coast, my best route to use my points to upgrade to business class in Swiss Air. The route would be LAX/Zurich/Joberg. Does anyone have any advice or intel about going through Zurich with...

    2025 CB/PG hunt

    Of course. Sorry I did not mean to sound cryptic. Derian who posted a message above in the thread has been fantastic to deal with. He has put together a 14 day trip, 9 days of hunting for CB and PG, and the balance sight seeing with the wife. I spoke to most of the folks who messaged me here but...

    2025 CB/PG hunt

    I do not have a set price range per se. i know what was quoted to me in Zim for such a hunt and I am more than good with it. I am a novice so I do not know much about the Caprivi other than it is a great area for DG.
