I bought colt 1911 gold cup national match in 45 acp, and schmeisser high end AR15 rifle in 223 rem for this purpose.

I dont have a single shot, because I am believer in magazine capacity. But in 2024, I went for cape buffalo hunt, with my friend. We both hunted buffalo. He hunted with ruger no 1 in 375 H&H, I hunted with bolt action in 375 H&H. I was observer for him, and he was observer for me. He trained...

Check also Croatian costs. Annual quota for brown bear is steady at around 130 bears taken per year.

Absolutely! But there is no bongo, dwarf forest buffalo or lord derby eland there.... Some people will go to central Africa for those.

I did receive black rhino dart hunt offer. I must dig in my files to find it.

Probably VAT tax. Hungary has the highest standard VAT rate in the European Union at 27%, which applies to most goods and services

I was to Africa so far 5 times, never to central Africa. Overall, the specifics with rare exemptions: no steady outfitters, political turmoils, local terrorist threats. I am not saying it is impossible to hunt there, but it will be very hard to organize. The best bet is Cameroon. Having said...

Wonderful work! If I ever get a leopard, I would want it mounted like this!

Sorry to hear that! Thanks for reply!

In those circumstances, you have excellent chances. (y)

How did you find those PAC hunts?

I am not an expert on this subject. I was on two DG hunts so far, ele and buffalo, plus I have 3 plains game safaris. Following are my observations and research. Leopard on bait: 1000 USD per day is minimum. Plus trophy fee that varies from 5 or 6k, upwards to 10K. This is minimum as per my...

My plan. And I dont know if I will ever manage. This is just a plan. Wishful thinking at this stage Buffalo, done Elephant done. Rhino darting, next. Difficulties to follow: After that leopard. Unpredictable. After that, Lion, but very hard. Expensive The priority list is based on...

My ZKK 602 in 375 H&H shoots 1.5 moa. Including PPU soft points of 300 grains. But POI is variable depending of ammo used (Norma, PPU, RWS, etc) With 1.5 MOA, I consider rifle acceptable for DG hunting, including aquatics which require accurate brain shot. Double rifles in general have lower...
