What is the time frame this hunt needs to be taken? I apologize if it has already been stated and I overlooked it. Thanks Jody

Welcome from a fellow Western Michigander. You will love this place. I am relatively new myself, but have always been welcomed around here. Made my first trip over in March and am already planning 2 trips next year. Learn and enjoy. Jody

I guess I am the unlucky one. I was in Eastern Cape and Limpopo in March of this year and between the two saw 4 snakes. A puff adder under the deck my first night in camp in EC that the outfitter killed before it hurt anyone. Next day a spitting cobra crossed the road in front of us while we...

I was way over.....until my tragic boating accident!!!

Was in Joburg at the Afton Safari Lodge in March. They had copies of The Practical Shot in the room as a free bee. Might try contacting them for info on where to find copies. Jody

I am at 9. Need a sheep to finish. Might not happen as I need to do it with a draw tag. A high dollar sheep hunt is out of the question. I did draw a Montana mountain goat tag last year and managed to fill it with a nice billy unguided. And also drew an Alaska Nunivak Island muskox tag for...

My thoughts only. I own a Magneto speed. It works well but is a bit of a pain to set up. I will probably end up with a Garmin. That being said, what's your usage plan? Once or twice a year to check your speeds? Or weekly as you work up new loads and tune your rifles? If it's the former, you...

A quick google search shows the Africa map on an elephant ear on Northeast Taxidermy Studios of CT website. I assume a quick call to them would provide a price.

Try Amazon. They have a bunch listed. You'll want to know your case dimensions. Just search rifle case foam. I have several for my Pelican cut to fit different guns and combinations.

Happy Easter to all!! May you have a blessed day.

Welcome from another west Michigan member. You’ve found the no. 1 place for African safari info. I’m in Chicago right now headed to ORD on my way for my first African adventure.

Some of the larger airports (O'hare in Chicago) ran mine thru x-ray last trip. Smaller (Anchorage) they open and inspect and scan with me present to watch. All have been easy though. Don't sweat it. Just give yourself plenty of time.

I have been a fan for years. Went to two of his outdoor shows. Fantastic performer. The people loved him. He will be missed. Rest in peace Mr. Keith. Your memory and talent will live on with us forever. Jody

LOL. I feel your pain. I did just buy it. Sending the funds as soon as I get a second. And I am in the same boat as you. I don't need it but will be a great grad present for my son when he graduates college.

Dave, Just to let you know, my candle order arrived early this week (Monday or Tuesday) and my prints were delivered yesterday. I must say, I couldn't be more pleased. Candles look and smell great and luckily, I ordered a bunch of extras that will make great gifts for mom and other family...

I depart for my first trip in one month (Feb 27). Working on assembling my packing list now. I have went to many of the outfitters on AH's websites. Most have a suggested packing list. While I haven't followed any verbatim, I have found a few items that I would not have thought of and developed...

I put an AB Raptor 8" rated for a .375 in jail today. Now the wait begins. Guess it'll give me some time to get a couple barrels threaded.

My first time at the convention (I doubt it will be my last). Totally overwhelming. And as I complete planning and purchases for my first safari coming up in March, you enablers here had convinced me I wouldn't be content without a Rigby. So after much deliberation, I made the purchase. And it...

There were plenty of rifles sitting there. I didn't enquire if they were for sale. But I assumed they were. Just a little out of my price range. I had to set up a payment plan to buy the Dagga Boy book. Jody

Just bought one at the Rigby booth an hour ago. Looked like at least another dozen or so copies on the shelf. And I don't know if they had more to put out yet. They number them as you purchase. Mine is #116 Jody

What a wonderful trip you will all have. Reading this makes me think of so many fond memories of my dad. We lost him in '21. He taught me to hunt and about the outdoors. He always spoke of going on far away adventures to hunt, but never quite made it happen. Go and enjoy every minute. Just the...

Money sent for Racer00 Jody

Gorgeous knife and looks very functional as well. I am new around here and plan to be in Dallas for the convention and would love to attend your soiree if you have room for one more. And if so, I am staying at the Fairfield if anyone is interested in sharing a ride. Thanks so much Jody

Our family has taken dozens over the years. Dad started in the 80's with a beat up old .22. Mom took a 168 lb tom with an arrow. Almost all of the ones taken in the last few years have been with a .22 mag. Now we are using dogs and shooting treed cats. But a shot with a .22 through the lungs...

Great deal. Just placed my order. Thank you

Welcome aboard. I am new here too, but what a great resource filled with helpful people. Southwestern mitten dweller here.

I found a cpl pounds of 5744 at Scheels in Billings last week. They had four but would only sell me two. Didn’t have time to go out and come back in to try to buy the other two. Wonder if it will work in my 416 Rigby? Be nice to practice with reduced loads. And it will stretch a pound of...

I have 3 of these myself with Wind Plex reticles. And have mounted 7 more on all of our hunting groups rifles. All 300 WM, and all used in Montana for elk and deer hunting. After several years of using them, we have not had any issues and they seem to hold zero well and return to zero after...

Congratulations to a fantastic accomplishment. I took my first goat in Montana in September on a DIY backpack hunt. You earn a goat. Awesome job.

Good evening sir. Hope I am not bothering you, but I have read your hunt reports with Nick Bowker and I have a hunt with Nick (my first African hunt) this coming March. I wondered if you would be willing to answer a few questions and possibly give me some insight to help with my planning? Thank...

My experience is very limited. I recently purchased my Traveler, emailed Parkwest/Dakota firearms asking for some info. Ward emailed me right back and asked if I’d call him. We discussed my question and when I mentioned I’d be passing thru Sturgis in a cpl weeks on my way to Montana to mountain...

Did you talk to Ward at Dakota? I stopped in at their shop last week on my way through SD to have him look at a 416 Rigby Traveler I had purchased. He was a wealth of information and took lots of time to go over my rifle and show me the ropes. Luckily, for my rifle, built in 2011, he had...

My plan is to buy what ever ammo is less expensive (read: cheapest) to get rounds down the tube and learn to shoot a big bore. My first. Does this sound like a sensible plan? Once I am comfortable, I can decide what I want to hunt with and confirm it shoots well from this rifle. I do reload...

I just picked one up off GB too. Waiting for it to arrive. Hoping the wood is decent but for the price I can’t/won’t complain. $1605 to my door. Plus $20 for my FFL to do his thing.

Good problems to have. Too many hunts. I leave for Montana on September 13 to chase mountain goats. Been trying to draw this permit for 17 years and it’s just now starting to seem real. Good luck with your hunts sir!!
