I appreciate the details provided regarding his Double Rifle (by knowledgeable AH Members) is much more interesting then the entire show — except for some of the Nude scenes. I still watched every episode but the excessive violence, cruelty, sexual assaults, and general “bad luck” that guy &...

@Philip Glass I have spoken to Two PHs so far and expressed my concern but both reassured me the .375 H&H was fine (apparently used more often then I thought) as long as my shot placement is good….lots more research to do and appreciate the helpful posts received so far.

I met @BeeMaa and his Wife - very nice people and I’ve been able to shoot Sporting Clays with them a couple times…..Good Folks here on AH

@Bandera - while this gun is clearly used I’m not sure the ‘turn ring’ on the cylinder is a good indicator - I’ve Never seen any revolver “blued” without a visible ‘turn line’ and even New Unfired revolvers develop one as soon as the hammer is cocked a few times and the cylinder rotates around...

@Uintaelkhunter - appreciate the feedback, I’m fine with a “basic” Camp but for my WIfe — need to book more of a “Luxury” Camp…otherwise she may Not enjoy the Safari as much as I want her too. This will be somewhat of a “compromise Hunt” —- a Good Hunt for Me and a Great Vacation for her — I...

@gcbailey - interesting and Now I guess I’ll need to try it !

@BGHNTR416 - how often are Hunters “checked” for possession of Lead ammo? And how do they check you - ask to see your ammo? Pull the bullet from your deer and inspect it? Must be very difficult to enforce that law

@mattdeere1 whats the barrel length ? Looks around 5” but can’t tell. Do you have the original matching Box? I have a Super Black Hawk in .44mag w/7 1/2” barrel purchased ANIB years ago and also intended to Hunt with it — but have still never fired it. I agree it’s a very safe style handgun...

@Doug Hamilton - you might be right that these bullets were invented looking to create a ‘Lead Free’ hunting bullet but regardless of intent - result was an excellent controlled expansion & deep penetrating bullet that is very consistent. Because the bullet is copper and lighter then lead I...

@Doug Hamilton - maybe Not more lethal but do you think some of the All Copper TSX bullets combine penetration AND controlled expansion “Better” then lead partition & bonded type bullets? I’ve found them to be very accurate out of the rifles I’ve used them in and penetration very consistent —-...

@Rare Breed - thanks for quick info. Are you also familiar with “Sango Dadiso”? Saw and read from their website. I think they operate a fairly new camp near Sango Wildlife Conservancy and do both Hunting & tourist—-Non hunting safaris….not sure how that works? Or if they only hunt on special...

Looking for info and price range for an elephant hunt in Zim for Management Bull (Non exportable). Price range would be helpful (including daily rate & observer rate) as this trip would be near (or possibly above) the Top of my budget. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time if the early estimated...

Thank you for your insight

@PANTHER TRACKERS - thank you for providing some context and detailed answers to my questions. What do you consider “a small Leopard”? I would consider any Leopard under 120 lbs Small and Not “trophy size”, a mature male 140-150 lbs would be a Trophy to Me and any Leopard 160-170 lbs or above...

@gcbailey - well I “guess” Hendrick’s is Gin? Although at only 80 proof it’s 60% WATER….but people like it so it must taste OK?
