You overestimate me. ;) There are much more knowledgeable people on the forum then myself, and they will all be glad to help. Just dont be shy, ask what you need!

@Miletic Early at this stage, if you are going for 416 barrel, I can advise that you start sourcing 416, 400 grains swift a frame bullets. Asap! They are not widely available. Buy now, use them when you get the barrel.

@B Frederick I confirm to what @375Fox said. Kudu, oryx, hartmann zebra, visit Etosha park, Namibia. Been there, done exactly that. (in separate trips) No high fences I had for those animals.

In Vojvodina, northern part of Serbia, is potential for strongest roe bucks on the continent. The area was once a Pannonian sea, and the soil is soaked with minerals from that time. With good genetics, agricultural crop fields, rich grazing, and sea minerals in soil, the roe bucks grow big...

I wish you a welcome to "cape buffalo club"! Good hunting!

@Redfishga1 We have at least two Serbian members on the forum. @Serbian Hunter @Miletic Drop them a pm and ask for advice. Serbian hunter is not active lately, but Miletic is every day here.

Your question is difficult one for me. Because I do not hunt for inch of horn, of anything. So, my motives do not fit in entire description. My first ele was 3o ponuds. What would be my next goal in elephant hunting? Considering this, I voted for realistic 30 to 40 pounds. Although, I am not...

I join the cheering group! Congrats!

I am generally against short barrels, except for 9.3. Because the internal volume of barrel 9.3 bore will give ample internal volume for full powder combustion. Go for it, and have a piece of mind!

So, some form of shooting was allowed. I know a hunter who went on invitation in 1989 and 1990, and hunted Kenya. twice. And has trophies at home. I have seen it at his home, and saw the pictures. He wrote a book. Evidence is real. But his english is not perfect, he went to hunt with small...

Run this on AI. The differences are not so great as one would suspect. Poaching crises hit Tanzania as well in the same time. The question is how accurate AI is? Answers by AI are all politically correct. (Like there is no court ruling or proof that Kenyata family was engaged in poaching...

No hope in my opinion, unless drastic political change happens. In the present set of circumstances, legalizing hunting is not possible. They lost all the wildlife outside the national parks. 80% of wild life gone. So, what to hunt? Where to hunt? The only way is to legalize hunting on private...

African DG experience?

Well its all clear, isnt it? Stay well, good hunting!

I decided the same, and went with rental rifle.
