I say it depends. I have not hunted chamois and you may be moving a lot. I went Dall sheep hunting in Alaska and had Swaro's 10x42's. I figured my guide was the one to judge the sheep, and he was. Problem I had that we stayed in a spot for some time and I was not able to see any details on...

Thanks, Rare Breed. I am not sure if the outfitter knows about this but Scott will find out. If not he may go to a taxidermist and see about getting some replicas made. I know Scott's father brought back tusks, but that was in the 70's.

Thanks Rare Breed. The reason I was asking, I went to Zimbabwe 5 years ago and it was my first trip to Africa. I went with a friend of mine who had been there many times. I shot a nice Cape buffalo and an Impala. My friend Scott shot a nice elephant and as far as he has been told, he can't...

Welcome from Fenton, MICHIGAN. There is a lot of knowledgeable people here and lots of experienced hunters.

Rare breed, did you get an elephant and were you able to get the tusks home?

Great animals. Thanks for sharing your hunt. Sorry for the travel troubles. That is what I feared the most when I went but luckily $$ got us through.

I still have these 223 wssm dies for anyone who needs them. I know they are not a real good "African" cartridge but somebody may be able to use them!!

I was 64 but celebrated my 65th birthday in 2019. It was in Zimbabwe. Our dinner server sang happy birthday song to me and it was great!!

I would personally want to take my own rifle too. I went dove hunting there and did not take my own shotgun for a couple reasons. Fellow travelers who had been there before said it wasn't worth the hassle or the fees they charge. As others have said, as cheap or cheaper to rent the shotgun...

He probably won't respond since he hasn't been on here since 2020. I see in one of his posts that he did sell the gun and finally sold the brass and bullets.

Thanks Redleg, I hadn't heard of her passing. Great singer and songs. I was too young and wouldn't have been allowed anyway, but sure wish I could have seen her at Woodstock!!

Beautiful cape buffalo and you were right to listen to your PH. Good luck with your sale.

Welcome roklok, I envy you native Alaskan residents. All that variety without a guide. I have been hunting in Alaska 8 times. Of course for the sheep and grizzly I had to have a guide. Moose, caribou and black bear I have hunted with friends. Been on the haul road bow hunting and always...

Thanks for the rundown on you shipment. Very informative and great trophies. Thanks

I am curious on the logistics on this very nice load of animals. Surprised that all those fit together in the crate. Really curious if you had to go through all of the hoops compared to shipping back hides and horns?
