Absolutely! African hunting by folks who don't live in Africa, is a fertile field for the eccentric! I have a pith helmet also, but I haven't taken it to the Dark Continent...... yet.... On the next trip, I might even take a selfie of myself driving an old Land Rover, if I can find one that...

I'd like to get some too. My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

My DG PH wants a client to use combination of expanding bullets and solids. Do what your PH prefers you do.

Solids have their place, but IMO, if you only want one bullet, use a well-constructed expanding bullet. A solid will, usually, completely penetrate a buffalo and come out the other side, risking injuring another buffalo.

For practice and range competition - always For hunting - never (I need the ability to detect the direction of sounds)

Come on CoElkHunter! You know I got that little feller in 2021 in Mozambique. It may have been part of the forum's most notorious threads...

In Africa, I only want to shoot males, since you can't take meat home. This zebra was male, but had no test-ta-clease... My hunting buddy poked fun at me saying that his castrated mine! I would hunt females, but would expect a significant trophy fee reduction.

I prefer a brimmed hat like I was wearing here: If you don't care if your PH considers you a "dude", get one with a zebra band! In full sun, my ears and face will get blistered in a baseball cap if I don't use sunscreen, but I always bring one...

You know I'm not being serious!

James Bond wore Rolexes until he stopped being attracted to women... 1. Dr. No – Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 2. From Russia with Love – Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 3. Goldfinger – Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 5. Casino Royale (1967) – Rolex GMT Master 7. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service – Rolex...

Glad your here!

I'm fortunate enough to live in a rural area, with no restrictions regarding shooting firearms on private property. I shoot .22 bolt actions all the time. Mainly just for fun, but it also makes for great practice. I've got a swinging steel target in my backyard, that probably takes at...

Use Travel Express or Gracy and they will steer you away from these issues. Unless you are flying anything except directly from the USA to JNB with a USA carrier. If saving $200 is worth losing everything, just stay at home and shoot feral pigs...

In a single word... NO IMO - The best DR is .470 NE - The best BA is .416 Rigby

I would contact Willie with Legadema Safaris to hunt on their concession in Mozambique. No shortage of elephant, and I'd bet his price would be better.
