Ross, Difficult to follow you, but I will try ... Best buff hunt - CMS in the valley shot my buff at 25 m after 7 hours of tracking !! Most exciting - bushpig over hounds, shot a boar at 3 meters on a bay Most unique - for me I am going to say lechwe on the Flats Most interesting - probably my...

One of the exhibitors (of many years) commented - Tuesday is usually the older and serious booking crowd, Thursdays the doctors come and saturday and sunday are the sticky fingers crowd that do the bratwurst or pommes and then touch everything on the stands with greasy fingers ! About sums it...

Had a good day in Dortmund yesterday & did spend time with Maria, Tim and Tony on the Rigby stand (which gets closer to the huge Blaser stand every year ;) ). Booked a mouflon hunt for next year in Czech, picked up some art & spent time with a Canadian outfitter talking about black bear & a trap...

. Love the C&H Cape gun ! But I imagine it would be a mountain of paperwork both sides to try and get it to Europe ...... .

. What a wonderful tale & a wonderful rifle in a, yes, wonderful caliber !! EA bongo & same in WA ! A dream. And so great that the rifle has been passed down into good hands ! Thanks for sharing & congratulations ! .

. Following on Muskox above - and all the above info is great - but do you want a summer or winter chamois and then where ? Big difference in the coat between short almost brown summer coat and dark thick winter coat. Plus hunting on grass vs hunting snowy terrain in a lot of Europe. Hunted...

It's taken nearly a year but we are almost there - a matching pair of Sauer 101s in 7x64 and .243 with upgraded light wood, adjustable combs, threaded for silencers, silvers like pads, engraved pistol caps (European boar & roe buck) & custom triggers. Sauer also ran consecutive serial numbers...

. Great write up & video! Thank you for sharing & congratulations on a successful tuskless. Love the picture of the double on the foot ! Charlie .

Then I was not far off with my 1.500 to 1.700 guesstimate :)

Remember Denmark is EU and UK not therefore going via Denmark will add an extra stop in the process and extra costs. Post Brexit you cannot move trophies between the EU and UK without export papers, vet certs and all the paper work..... .

Tom, As a thumb suck I would say you will likely be looking at GBP 1.500/- to 1.700/-. You will have taxidermy dip & ship in SA. then crating, SA export paperwork, SA ground transport, air freight, UK airport handling / clearing, vet cert, import duty and UK ground transport. Taxidermy is not...

Have still got some Lutz Möller loads plus some handloads from a reloading friend. Starting to get rare like hens teeth ..... .

I will be there Tuesday and again Saturday. Would love to meet up with any AH members. And will be calling on the Rigby team as well - Maria has promised me a Rigby poster this year "Keep Calm and carry a Rigby"! Happy days ! .

. I have a 66 in 7 mm SE v Hofe and use it at the range and in the field, having shot chamois and red deer at distances. Original double triggers and 66 stock shape. A great solid hitting round and one that you as a reloader can experiment with.... .

Silver has not been this high since the Hunt Brothers tried to corner the market! That was the fall of Kodak Eastman. Buy now at near USD 80/- ounce. No, I dont think so but I do not see it back in the USD 20s in the near future. Cannot hurt to have metals as part of a balanced portfolio. .
