@PHOENIX PHIL and @Foxfyre were great guys to spend a morning breaking (or not) clays with. I brought my new to me little Ugartechea 28ga SxS. Shooting 9s with a 3/4oz load kept me at least breaking a few. The little sub gauge sure was fun to play with. I had never shot 5 stand before and have...

Im eyeballing a couple 7x57 No. 1s on Gunbroker right now. Thinking of pairing a nice #1 and a bolt gun in .416 rem mag (or Rigby) on my next safari.

Ya I’ve got a new to me Ugartechea 28ga SxS that needs a few clays under its belt. Maybe three of us should figure out a day to go bust some clays.

I’ve always wondered how Rio was. Glad to know they have a good clays course!

Welcome from AZ as well

Welcome to AH! I’m not an expert on African hunting with only one safari under my belt but I’m willing to help whatever way I can. To your two listed companies, limcroma seems to have a good reputation. I can’t say I know anything of the other. For cost I look at this like a three year...

Love hunting pigs. I don’t care if it’s feral hogs in Tx, or warthog in RSA.

Traded

So i have no idea what is going on really. I will say that I try to tip as best I can. I’m not rich and it does take effort to save up for some of these trips. When we went to RSA last year I specifically allocated tip money including about $100/day for our PH. I think I ended up tipping him...

Hey all. I've got my .300 Winchester mag up for sale. It's a browning hells canyon long range (not the McMillan stocked model). I'm the original owner and it's got about 400 rounds down the barrel. It's a good rifle. Doesn't weigh too much about 10lbs scoped with a full mag and a bipod if I...

I’m no expert here. Having seen the internals of impala, warthog, steenbok, duiker, blesbok, and springbok though I have my opinion which is worth what you paid for it. I’d load up a .243 with a good Barnes bullet and go have fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to take any of the medium antelope or small...

I’ve been pretty lucky so far. Mostly scrapes, bruises, a few cuts that probably should have been stitched but that’s what superglue and duct tape are for. Only long lasting injury was due to my own stupidity. I shot a bull elk about 3 miles and 3,000 feet above the truck. My buddy and I decided...

Like the others have said. Exotics, turkey, and hogs are always fun. The fishing on the coast for redfish and sea trout, shark, and maybe even a tarpon if you go far enough south should be pretty decent in April. I would recommend hitting up south padre island for a few days and enjoy the...

Well I didn’t think this topic would garner this much interest. I think what many of you are saying is what I’m feeling. I love hunting with my kids and they both enjoy hunting so I want to keep that fire going. I don’t think I’ll be able to get them back to Africa for a hunt for the next 4...

I tried the search function for a bit then gave up. We went to RSA last year with my 10 and 11 year old kids. They had a blast! Taking 7 PG animals between the two of them including blue wildebeest, warthog, zebra, impala, blesbok, steenbok, and springbok. While we were there they got to see...
