This is what American tax dollars brough to Zambia. An unending line of Land Cruises parked outside the former USDAID procurement office, which my company used to share with them. Why so many 4x4s was necessary to drive on tar roads in Lusaka befuddles me.

I would say it's entire up to the way the kid were raised. I was allowed to hunt "independently" ie on my own on the farm since I was 8 with a airgun. I could only hunt specific species, and I had to eat everything I shot. The air gun was replaced with a 22 when I was 12 and a 303 when I was 15...

Ernst is saying it the way it is

You Americans must be super tasty and soft for the ticks to love you like that. The last time somebody sprayed something on my clothing was when I was a pre-Teen. I now understand why Trump wants to give us refugee status. He feels he needs to toughen up your genetic pool! There are few...

Is Norma cases not the answer then if a person wants a bit more oompfh out of a 458?

Which 458 Win Mag cases has the most capacity? There seem to be a big difference between manufacturers

Very interesting comment, please expand on it? (I have 458 African that was reblued, but is otherwise in very good shape). Are there a market for custom 458 Africans?

Well the Hippo was dead.

I've own and owned several 375`s, and have taken everything up to elephant with them. I've recently commissioned a 9.3 as I can't find a niche for my 375 in my mind. It is to big for antelope and too small for dangerous game. Make no mistake, they work real well in the larger antelope species...

I wish I had a personal stake in a game breeding operation. Alas. Bad choice in parents. I don't even have a stake in South Africa as I left two decades ago and is unlikely to return. What I do have is a post grad qualification in animal breeding, and a dislike for those with strong opinions...
