    Is this brass safe to load and shoot?

    Photos should always be judged with caution, but at first glance I would use this brass for practice loads. When it comes to hunting, and especially shooting DG, it is different. In this case I also primarily load new brass or someone that have been reloaded only one time and that are in perfect...

    Want To Buy Cape Buffalo Hide Scrap

    Recover your Bible with buffalo leather is a good idea, but you might be reading it too often. Mine Bible is from 1884 and still in good condition, but I have to admit that I not often read it.

    Where for Chamois?

    $10,000?!...For that price, he could shot an Ibex in Austria. I have never hunted chamois myself, it is far too expensive for what it is and I am not interested. I also know enough hunters in my region who have as many chamois trophies hanging on their walls as they have roe deer trophies, and...

    Nicknames and localisms

    The name is unfamiliar to me and it is no longer listed in the ACP database. I hunted in Burkina Faso without a PH, only with a local guide who accompanied me with his trackers for over 15 years.

    Nicknames and localisms

    Do you know where they hunted? A very well-known area was in the south, on the border of Ghana: the Ranch de Nazinga.

    Nicknames and localisms

    I have hunted in Burkina Faso many times, but I have never heard of anything like that. It probably depends on the hunting area. There were several hunting camps in different areas. I hunted in the east of the country, in the areas Ouamou and Singou, Gourmantché country.

    Who has hunted Greenland?

    The last reindeer hunt I did in Greenland was in the area of Sondre Strömfjord in 1984. After that, it was over, as there were hardly any reindeer left in that area, but it was not my fault. There was not reindeers on the east side for over hundred years ago. I only found their skeletons in the...

    Nicknames and localisms

    It is difficult because all these animals have very different names in the various languages of the former colonialist, and then there are the many local African languages to consider. The most common African names for wild animals that all knows come from Swahili, but this language was...
