    Which old school American rifle?

    I was hunting a concession in 2023 that had a lot of nice Red Lechwe. However, they were quite docile and I elected not to shoot one. I had told my PH about my 1885 Winchester in 38-55, and how that could be a bit more challenging with open sights than a modern scoped rifle. As I’m sitting in...

    Stolen or lost rifles in transit?

    Luggage pilfered in JNB airport

    Really sorry about that. I hate a thief. Unfortunately Joburg is full of them. My daughter had thiusands of dollars in camera equipment stolen out of her bag when United forced her to gate check it in Newark. We need to start flying through Cape Town.

    How One Hunt Inspired a Woman to Start Her Own Business

    Filming African Safaris

    My daughter is on her third trip to SA filming hunts. She stared 206 Media after she traveled with me in 2003. As far as getting in the way, the PH she mainly works with has preached to her from day one that they must be in better shape than their clients. She can't be responsible for slowing...
