Tanzania. A little research would turn up specific areas. Bruce

As a jeweler I bought and sold hundreds of thousands in bullion. 1 oz sizes are usually the easiest to work with. I have sold silver bars up to 1000 oz tho. With gold where it’s at smaller denominations can also be considered useful. I always worked with physical metals. Buy whatever you’re...

I hunted with Spike on one of these offers. In fact might have been the first time he offered it. Anyway I had a great time. Good people and a interesting place to hunt. I highly recommend it. Bruce

Well done.Excellent pics and a well told story. Thanks for sharing. Bruce

I was thinking about your numbers. Seemed reasonable until I hit the tip/gun rental line. If each of you tipped $600 then that’s $1200. Instead of renting a rifle take your own. Even using a service in Joberg you’re about $200. Do your own paperwork and wait in the line and save that $200. So...

Nice animals and a great write up. My Klippi came from the EC so they are there. Just need the right mountain I guess. Congrats on your hunt. Bruce

Good looking Orono. Congrats on getting him. My last trip to Africa in June I killed several Blue Duikers when they called them in. It seems like calling might work in your 2nd day scenario. So the question really is did they have someone who could call Blue Duikers? Bruce

Cameraland has a lot of optics on sale for BF. The one I got was a new Zeiss V8 NA. 20% off while their Zeiss rep is in the store today. Normally price protected and not a sale item. Bruce

Great start. Looking forward to the rest of your hunt report. Massive area to hunt. Bruce

First trip to Africa we were treated to Mushroom Kudu fillet. My wife loved it. 3rd trip the BBQ warthog ribs were a standout. If you ask almost any hunt will result in wild game being served. I've enjoyed most of it. Bruce

My dad had a 760 in 30-06. One of the few things that didn't show up when dividing the estate. I used it a couple of times. He told me once " it doesn't shoot well on paper, but it gets the meat". As a "jungle" gun it should be great. My dads probably grouped 3 MOA on a good day. Very fast for...

180 gr Berger VLD hunting at 2900 fps. I've used it for years in my 7 SAUM and taken perhaps 50 animals with it. A 7 Mag or PRC will get the same or similar velocity. Mostly one shot kills. That includes 3 eland so its not "too" soft for a leopard. My last Sable was a 1 shot kill as was my...

From Wyoming last night.

I was born on grandma’s couch so a couple of days later dad bought a 870 wing master with the $ saved with no hospital visit. Mom wasn’t impressed. Earlier model than this one. Great guns. Bruce

Looks like fun. Good job! Bruce
