Must have been a 9.3....

I would say go for it... My dad had a similar incident never received his Buff (hunted in Selous). He got another trophy. Yes it is not yours, but you would have placed it on the wall as a remembrance. Now, there is nothing. Get one, at least it will remind you and you would have a bit extra to...

Welcome Kavik! Great choices you are thinking off! Just note, legally, you are required to have a 375H&H for leopard hunting in Tanzania; whether it is enforced is uncertain. Do you require (apart from legality) a 375H&H for leopard...No, a 9.3 is more than capable. Contact a gun shop in...

Hi and welcome MooseHunter! Quite the coincidence, read this thread yesterday. Someone at our club shoot in RSA, built himself a "425 Safari Express". It is a 458 Express case (3 inch 375H&H lengthened case), which is shortened and necked to 423. The gents current data is a 400gr bullet at 2270...

Sent you a pm

Hi Marius, Sure, as told to me, the intended rhino they wanted to hunt stormed them before the client could take a proper shot, and my grandfather then had to shoot it. He off course tells it a lot better but in short that was it. After the shot, the client, contrary to what my grandfather...

Yes I am aware, stolen valor is a military term, to quote Wikipedia of all places "a term for the behavior of military impostors: individuals who lie about serving in the military or the extent of their military service". Recent engagements with individuals and claims they made, made me think...

Thanks IVW, great feedback from an outside perspective. Will definitely consider it. Would love for you to come and shoot sometime and have a beer afterwards! Yes if you view one range and one range only, one could argue all of the above and you are correct 100%. But since you have asked and...

I have had the privilege to hunt my bucket list hunt. It was where I went with my Father on his Elephant hunt in Zim. Years have passed now, he has since then beaten cancer, I became a father, he a Grandfather, and knowing the privilege I had, I would love to do it again in both our new stages...

Easy - if you take stats on incidents, it is hands down, buffalo. However...stats, contrary to belief, does not show the truth... Buffalo are the most hunted dangerous game specie, therefor it is clear why the most incidents have buffalo involved. Apart from Buff and Elephant, that may charge...

VertigoBE, interesting that you bring this up. I met an upstanding PH at a fill station on my way up North from JHB Airport. I was accosted in the bathroom by this guy, for a hunt next year. Seems he gets more clients at the Garages than at shows in the USA. He says he has a hunting...

Yes indeed I did enjoy it, and yes I did the vehicle hunting, it is called "bakkie jag". Apparently their is a club in RSA, called SABJAV (South African Bakkie (Jag)Hunting (vereeniging) Association). I will soon start my own international version - SCI, Safari Cab-hunt Invitational - we will...

Africa Son's return to AH (remember this is Satirical/Parody) So I have been away from AH for a few months. I ventured into the Dark Continent for a 4 months Safari! What an experience and now I want to share my wisdom and life altering advice with y'all! I even got to watch the latest season...

DWB (Deon)... Hahaha, I probably need to yes. But then again, it seems I can handle it...
