Of all the rifles you have listed listed I have limited experience only with Zastava 375, and with some other zastavas in calibers up to 8 mm. It is questionable if Zastava produces 375 any more, although it is still listed on their web sites. The company has had some management and...

There is no such thing as bad African venison. But Eland and Oryx come on top of my list.

HUNTROMANIA

Each commodity has a costumer. Each price tag, has a buyer. Sable is premium animal. Trophy fee alone for sable is worth alone as full inclusive basic plains game starter package. For first time hunter, better to take a full package of 5 less expensive animals. Then there is a question: Are you...

There are plenty of uncertainties. If the tanker kept its course, would it be fired upon? What are the rules of engagment? If the tankers get interdicted and detained at high seas, where they will be given berth? And for how many impounded tankers there is a berth available, and where? What if...

I have all types of rifles in various calibers, push feeds and CRF. I never found anything worrysome in any system. For Africa, I am conservative in choice of firearms, and I would prefer CRF. On the end, I had the luck to obtain CRF rifle, ZKK 602 in 375 H&H. Having said that, my option B in...

Great points. But next video, I urge you to see. As per US security strategy 2025, we have this concern: Now, what are they talking about here? You really need to see following video presentation. (15 minutes) It makes you wonder about the future. UK has a part of nuclear defense umbrella...

Another lecturer, mrs Sarah Paine, acclaimed historian and US navy war college lecturer. She says, "as America pulls away from Nato this will initiate nuclear proliferation globally, all over the place". or... "I assure you Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping do not spend their days golfing". She...

There was one more thing, that surprised me which I realized later after I came home from first safari. The language barrier. When visiting foreign country, I have to ask for information: like where is ATM machine, how much is for taxi, where is shopping center, things like that... Then, many...

Great family and good health, all of us. My fishing boat in front of my house at sea coast. Shooting range and hunting area within short distance. Early morning coffee, with a view across the bay. Nowhere in the world I can find similar things at same place.

In short term, possibly yes. But situation is so complicated that no one can see what will happen in the future. Russian oil and gas is under import embargo to EU. Major oil suppliers from gulf are blocked. When sanctions against Russia were implemented, this detail has not been foreseen. USA...

This was exactly my thought! I just did not elaborate earlier.

I have seen more then 60 countries by the time I came to my first plains game safari in 2017. I have read a lot of books, and seen videos. My hunting experience was as expected and I had no surprises. But what surprised me the most, and it happened every other time I came to Africa: the moment...

Game ranching on privately owned land, built infrastructure, large competition, standardization of operations, advertising, marketing and supporting industry (shipping of trophies, taxidermy, airports). Today it is tourist friendly country, with acceptable pricing for blue collar class. Very...

As early as possible, once you have settled in life, and have budget to support the safari. In communication with my hunting friends, I came to conclusion there are two schools of thought. 1. As soon as affordable. 2. Nay.... I will go after I collect all domestic species. Those who opt for...
