I cannot open that video!?

Indeed! The reason why I did not make white/black rhino as a separate choice in the poll is the lack of space. Only ten options allowed.

Does your friend has experience with them, and if not, did he do background and reference crosschecks?

So far, elephant cow is in the lead and likely to stay there. Rhino is overlooked. However, I think that lack of votes on rhino is mostly due to their small numbers and the very small number of annual hunts.

It doesn't count. We are looking for dangerous species indigenous to Africa only. ;)

What are Africa's most dangerous in your opinion and experience? I had only 10 options for the poll, so I had to limit the number of choices, but with more options I might include other options as well (female with young, night situations, provoked or non-provoked, mating season etc). So feel...

On my first trip: I missed having quality camera. For next trip, I was set up. A thermal spotter is good to have, and also worth noting.

Judging by the vetting post is buying. Judging by the sub forum "taxidermy," could be looking for pics.

Certainly, this is one way of vetting! ;) But what is the question? You want to see a picture of a honey badger mount, or you want to buy full mount?

To be honest, 375 is not big bore. But I also prefer to have more rounds in a mag, rather than on the belt.

I think we have the same quality AI. We still do not know what is leopards preferred diet, if he can choose. Experts said to me it is Zebra. What AI teaches us in the above examples is that a leopard is not a vegetarian. Wow! What a surprise! That I know without AI. ;)

Ha, this evening I asked hunting question to AI. Here is the answer. True example of all AI uselessness, in practical applications! AI is so politically correct! So what is the best bait for a leopard? :ROFLMAO:

When you need the bino, and not have it, you will feel sorry. I used my bino on every safari. (5 safaris under belt) And I also use it to measure distances. When in the blind, for me is easier to use a bino than to raise the rifle for observing. It is true that in safari area, most likely you...

Why do you raise the status immediately on charging? My buffalo took three shots, in 31 seconds to drop, without a charge and I found quite convenient to have extra rounds in mag for insurance shot (actually I made two insurance shots, just for the measure). So total 5 shots, without topping up.

Which rifle will have that? Bergara b14 in 375 has 2-round capacity. Winchester and Zastava will have 3, as most of modern factory production rifles. New DWM Mauser 98 will have 5. To cut the story short, ZKK 602 has capacity 6 + 1, and that's about it. 6+1 is rarity. And ZKK is phased out...
