Interesting offer! How is hyena hunted? Bait or calling?

I am always willing to be a test "guinea pig" for Rigby rifles, should the opportunity presents itself. We should work out this in the future! :sneaky:

Congrats on this rare type of report for very challenging hunt. It is long time since I saw European wild cat. Now under blanket EU predator protection, wild cat is banned from hunting in Croatia (and other countries), although the cat is present here in good numbers and with healthy...

Dont worry, I will take my own "Rigby", then branded as ZKK in 1985. As close as I can get, unless I win Rigby reward on AHG. ;)

Shouldnt you be advertising this? ;) Ehmmm..... This one perhaps? Web page, and forum screen shots. @MBIZI SAFARIS They had some interesting offers past seasons, I hope they will have in the future as well. By interesting I mean affordable for me, thats how I remembered this detail.

I think there is at least one outfitter on the forum that rents rigby. My PH in Namibia rents Blasers with Swarovski scopes. Ok Blaser is not Rigby, but is high end factory rifle.

Not a joke. I am not marine, but i have same attitude and personal responsibilty for my rifles Once on driven hunt, i slipped with rifle in hand. I landed badly, ripped my clothes, got nasty scratch on my hand forearm, but i did not dare to let the rifle fly and hit the rocks on the ground...

I vote for special discount for US marines!

I used rental rifles, and asked about it. Generally, oufitter covers the costs for damage, at least as per my PH. It does not mean it is general rule The way how i see, this is the same as flat tire. Goes on ph or outfiter. A tool for hunt, provided and maintaimed by ph or outfitter. If they...

9.3? You are joking?! Too small for that! Have you considered 416 or 577?

Take both. You are in South Africa now, and you dont know when you will go next. You will have ample chances for both.

For me is the same as red leg, and grand veneur said. Both ways, i tried. But I remember some bitter reports on the forum when clients did not use taxidermist as suggested by outfitter.

Are animals for bait included in price? Is pre baiting included in price?

In Europe is even worse. Because if in the last moment the kids want to inherit the guns, and usually for this nobody thinks on time, then they will have 6 months up to one year to make their gun owner status: hunter, sport shooter, or collector. In many cases this is not possible to do in short...

You stated already all the reasons for using the scope. I am in that group. I also shoot pistol fairly well, with iron sight, and mainly for competition. But few years ago, I realized I need reading glasses to shoot pistol accurately. So, not for me. Age. Drop of blood equals trophy fee: When...
