There are 4 huntable species of deer in Croatia. Roe deer, red deer, fallow deer, and axis deer. Fallow deer and Axis deer were introduced on Brioni islands, summer residence of marshal Tito, now tourist destination, but also a national park. At one point, limited hunting was allowed on the...

Hahaha, it sounds like a nightmare from third world country! (pls dont scare the American friends) But, yes, it can be described that way. I am from Croatia, BTW.

I found on another site, Apparently an auction for Angola hunt is open in 4 days, Three ranches: Carivo game farm (2 x kudu, 1 x warthog), Green ox ranch ( 2 x waterbuck, 1 x eland), Onyati game farm (1 x eland). None of those ranches I can find on internet. Well, if true, it is a modest...

In my opinion PH will remember this hunt, and will learn his lesson. Any further appeals will not make any difference.

I am like you. I cant shoot what I cannot see. I want quality, for maximum performance My optics for hunting Zeiss 3-12x56, Diavary, Swarovski Z6, 1.7-10x42. Binocular Leica Geovid. But this is all for hunting in all light conditions. The point where I become economical on optics is, when I do...

I had one buffalo so far, this does not make me an expert. First you decide on your budget, and decide bull or cow. You can hunt in South africa, economy priced. Cow is most affordable. This will be on a farm, and hunt will still produce very good experience. budget 4 to 12k USD (from cow, up...

Well, let me think of it? I hunted quail, partridge and pheasant, then from steinbok over kudu up to eland and buffalo, plus European game, foxes, roe deer, boars, fallow.... All that somehow I managed without 243, believe it or not?! @Bob Nelson 35Whelen What say you? ;)

Hunters in my area generally do not develop range etiquette or gun culture. So, one of them asked my friend to ask me to take him to the local range. (it was a request from friend to a friend. First etiquette rule broken, you do not invite third person, to place were you hunt, or shoot with...

It is not the same for every safari: - culling - average five trophy plains game safari - single animal safari, like leopard. - full bag safari For me: safari 1 (5 x plains game): 1 shot for test, 6 shots for 5 animals Safari 2 (8 x plains game), 1 shot for test, 8 animals, 11 shots total...

Not sure about hunting fairs and shows, in the English-speaking part of the world, but my friend is very active in Salzburg hunting fair, offering Plavnik hunts. It may be that he is increasing in popularity with European, German, Austrian clients

Red leg speaks wisdom. Bring enough gun. I dont hunt 600 pounds boars, mine are up to 270 pounds, but my caliber for this game is 9.3x62. I dont leave nothing to chances.

AI is mighty and faulty tool. This is AI drawing. Do not bother with such things.

Thinking in retrospect about the initial post, this is actually the first time I have heard that someone hunted in South Africa, and have not seen the animal.
