I am so sorry to read that. Many of us in Europe greatly appreciated him and his work. My condolences to his family.

Antarctica is a scientific continent, and everything is regulated accordingly. Hunting there, aside from the problem of how to reach the hunting grounds, is currently unthinkable. Furthermore, there is not much to hunt, and what there is, is limited to coastal areas. Anyone who is very...

A few decades ago, hunting was still possible on the Kergelen Islands, a French territory off the coast of Antarctica. Mouflon and Reindeer were released there some time ago. This was an unsuccessful action, as the mortality rate of the game in winter was around 50% of the population. The...

In my opinion and after I have often read various paragraph from CITES, as long as the country that manufactures such products and is allowed to export them, you are also allowed to import them in your country, but after obtaining an import permit from this. When it is not about acquiring...

In my opinion it depends on which country you shot the elephant. If tusks are exportable outside this country and importable in your country, then surely other parts of elephants, tusked or tuskless, are also exportable. Since everything is listed under CITES, you have perhaps the same procedure...

The cartridge 458 African is in my opinion something different than just a longer cartridge 458 Lott. Normally the latter is called 458 African Express or just 458 Express, but it seems to me that there are constant mix-ups. We recently discussed this as @Gert Odendaal was looking for a chamber...

The designation 7.9 or 8mm Mauser is somewhat misleading for a continental European, as it should normally refer to the cartridge 8x57IS and not 8x57I.

The brass is fixed in the self-made tool, a hole is punched into the primer using the pointed pin and the hammer, and then the primer is pried out. Work perfectly with the 6,45mm primers from CBC.

I have only bagged a few moose in my life, but all with the cartridge 9,3x64 Brenneke. I am not so sure if you need such a large caliber, because other hunters have achieved the same results with the cartridge 30-06 Springfield.

In my countries, the caliber 9,3mm was in the past the standard when it came to shoot wild boar's.

As far as DIY hunting in Africa is concerned, hunting buffalo alone is above all dreaming. It is simply not possible to do it completely alone, because who among us can perfectly assess and follow a buffalo track, and also perfectly identify the game? This means that in every case, you are...

I don't know why, but there is a particular atmosphere surrounding this topic again. This does more harm than good.

I don't understand where this discussion is drifting in. So far, I have not negotiated with Spear Safaris about hunting in Uganda and therefore have not rejected any offers.

These are not assumptions; we were planning a hunt in Karamoja North for early this year. That involved significantly more than $2,000 USD for the charter. Divided among several people, it would have been doable. Unfortunately, nothing came of it because we were only two hunter interested. By...
