    Cape buffalo vs the rest?

    I don't see too many references to PHs, African Hunters, and/or Safari Guides (not outfitters) in any of the responses above, so how is mine any different, yet still providing pertinent information? I'm pointing in the right direction (did he not say 3-5 years out? It might be Trumpwannaland by...

    Best flashlight thread (or, "torch" if you are from Southern Africa)

    *it's actually quite easy to charge via USB using certain cellphones w/ the proper charging (not just data) cord or a widely-available long duration power source. I use 'em to charge my phone when out hunting in extreme cold. This is a solar-powered model that'd work well in Africa (people use...

    Best flashlight thread (or, "torch" if you are from Southern Africa)

    What do Commonwealth Countries call a real gas torch?? (2 on the left are Torches and to the right, a Flitzlig, even though Lady Liberty's "torch" is actually wind-generated electrical lights!) :p The only African hunter I ever heard say "torch" was Peter H. Capstick (and he was...

    Best flashlight thread (or, "torch" if you are from Southern Africa)

    'Gave up on carrying flashlights in hunting long ago. Have you ever operated a knife (gutting) or gun while holding a flashlight?? LED headlamp of your choosing. Wear it walking in the dark in America and it may just save your life (esp. on public lands)! Headlamps: Because we got tired of...

    Anti-Hunter Attack

    The punchline would've changed, Here. LOL We kind of expect that, outside the USA. What lengths they'll go to for such a political setup nowadays, in the bought-and-sold Land of the Libs...

    For Sale Dakota 76 Safari 375H&H left Hand

    Good price. Which is cheaper: a RH conversion or "corrective" surgery?? LOL 'Have a northpaw version in .300 WM w/ a Zeiss I'm going to let go of as the weather is just never nice enough for The Queen! (It's perfect for Africa or the SW!) GLWS. It won't take long...

    Cape buffalo vs the rest?

    You can see the Big 5 while on PG safari in Namibia. As Gemsbok are desert animals farther S. and lechwe up N. in the more lush Caprivi, you'll see a LOT of country and all of its wildlife in doing so. It'll either be a long drive or additional flights when in-country. We once got lucky and...

    Wanted: Top end Pronghorn hunt

    'Hunted the Rockin' 7 Ranch (~250K ac) in Shawnee/Glendo WY back in '17. The Reese family and all their hands are super-nice people. They even had seasonal Amish helpers which I always enjoyed talking to (as I deal w/ em all the time at home-and they too love hunting.) Nice digs. The ranch...

    Got scammed

    Seller doesn't appear to be American from some of the writing and only metric units on the scale. Plus, what is that name?? Bucky or Buc-ees foreign interpretation? Zelle will be able to track the payee account and your bank (mine uses Zelle so it's covered under their transactions) can...

    How can the mechanical stress exerted by DG cartridges on the action be estimated? Peak pressure alone is not a solution

    Less is best for the Manufacturer sales today, until...(Not all, but most!)

    Will the Middle East conflict affect your hunt plans

    'Had an Iranian Urial/Mouflon hunt scheduled for the 1st week of March. Well, those plans got blown to Hell! Flight in on Iran Air was diverted due to excessive smoke and engine failures. People from Republic rent-a-car didn't show. The ocean freight company went missing completely...

    Mexico warning and heads- up

    What Spike said was very informative. The other comment re: the travel ins. co. lol I have Clients that had to sue (or threaten to sue via counsel) their long-time ins. co. for coverage in clear claim cases. They care about $ NOT You or your fam! (One of the most profitable businesses on...

    What is a proper "stopping rifle" and load for dangerous game?

    Let's try that again (AH won't allow me to edit as 9 nanoseconds elapsed since the post): Plus rate limiting ("you must wait 37 sec before attempting to post") SMFH

    What is a proper "stopping rifle" and load for dangerous game?

    'Missing a few cartridges (i.e. .577, .600 etc.-easy enough to interpolate) but, in the end (and it could very well be The End,) you're going to have to contend with this. Use enough gun weight!!! And then there's the damage imparted upon your body. There's a great old flick featuring...
