I'm not 100% sure but East Cape is a good start. Very big and varied Province though, try to get to several parts;)

And depending where you go. A red duiker;) if you don't get one in Limpopo....

Fully agree with you on Sable. Take one in Mozambique or Tanzania and it will be well earned;)

Giraffe is a good one if you hunt it on a big property with some challenging habit. Like in the mountains in parts of Limpopo. Just hold out for a big black bull. Klipspringer, yes. In the mountains up top in parts of Limpopo or the Karroo in the East Cape... If limiting yourself to RSA. Red...

Shop it out. I had a quote from one if those pirates for over $4000 Inland freight. I called a couple trucking companies and got it done for $2000.

So it's close!

Saul i appreciate most of your comments. I will however have to say if you see Biden as a better concensus builder than a leader.... that is saying a lot as to just how bad he is! I would have fully agreed with your final comment a couple months ago, however Trump seems to really be well ahead...

Wow Trump had a great day in the Bronx! AOC said "God Is Good" predicting that Croton Park would be a muddy mess from rain for Trump's Bronx rally. Well apparently God is on Trump's side as he had beautiful weather for his rally! A lifelong Democrat came up to make that point in front of a...

Absolutely. Let me show you. Not hunted with Dave but I've visited with him at the AH dinner a couple years ago and he is definitely on the short list if my wife wants to shoot or dart a rhino ;) Doubt I'll take a second one but @Just Gina still needs one :) Gina is a Christmas fanatic... so I...

I think it would be quite unsettling to most humans to have killer AI drones roaming around like on Terminator. And many if not most of those drone footages are flashing "battery". I assume they quickly get to point of no return where you blow up something worth blowing up, or lose the drone...

Animals. They need to be put down like rabid dogs. I'm quite sure the IDF has many strong men and women capable of doing just that. And where is the awareness of this amongst our citizenry? A large portion of these protesters at our colleges would be victims if a similar event happened here...

Randomly quoting here as there are a number of posts relating to Energy Independence. I'm no expert either, but when discussing energy independence under Trump, wasn't that counting all energy? Coal was a big part of that. Today "green energy" has to be counted... although I think it is still...

A key component is that Luck is largely a manufactured commodity;) Being informed and taking action. Making an actual decision. Getting up and getting to work! To relate it to hunting.... there are always the guys commenting on last minute deals "got my lottery tickets bought... fingers...

Some more info that was included and was probably the starting point.

This is some info that came with my H&H Paradox built in 1900 but refurbished.

Congratulations Joe on a great roe buck and another fantastic trip. Spain was a real favorite of ours :)

We did both right at a year ago! Go in May, get a professional local tour company to line up your bull fight tickets but also be sure to see the dancing horses and a Flamenco show. Definitely take your wife with:)

I'm not sure everyone fully understands what a project you can be taking on when using a double rifle.... I'm still not convinced it is my favorite thing. They are fun to own and shoot. But bolt guns are easy once you have one that feeds reliably. Dealing with one barrel is certainly much...

Phil you are absolutely correct! We have all the equipment (well starter kits etc., dies, some powders, bullets, cases). Just have not taken time to set it up and start reloading. We have so much going on and I do not want to start down the road reloading going off half cocked;) So it really...

I call BS! Nothing wrong with Investments in fine metals;) Blued and green steel count;)

I wouldn't call them regulation issues. More me playing around to see if some factory ammo other than Hornady 300 grain would regulate. It looks like the Federal TBBC are regulating just fine. In fact for as tight a group I got at 100 yards I'm wondering this morning what they will look like at...

The cartridge will surely do the job. The reason to buy a double in it has to be first price of the rifle being so much less than a similar one in a classic rimmed cartridge. Second to have a wider array of factory ammo available.

Not that I'm aware of. Not to do paperwork. However you should be able to get a Porter to help with your bags and he should be able to help you get checked in, bags checked and send you to the right spot to check your guns near where you go through security. Tip him properly. If you are...

Tried again this evening and pretty well tuned into the Federal TBBC. Although I have not tried DGX as I don't have the Bonded version in 375. Shot at 100 yards off a bench with a lead sled.... maybe that is a big no no? I'm sure it didn't hurt the rifle any as it is not a big thumper. Got a...

And as for the Leopard, she's planning to get a buffalo this next trip.... And when she goes after another feline version of the Big 5/Dangerous7.... think a bit bigger;)

As she instructed me to inform guys over on the Iphisi thread.... She is painting the dining room in our new to us moneyp.., um house! Slaving away like a cursed fairy tale princess. Except her pumpkin turned into a Jeep Wagoneer powered by a V8 Hemi instead of magic mice, and she already had...

Where are you from? What underground economy are you speaking of? Russia?

Hey it is the story that counts! ;)

True! She picked that Barbie thing up "On a Lighter Note" ;)

It does function well but we had JJ weaken the ejectors because Chapuis doubles in general are too stiff and can pitch brass 15 feet which is ridiculous. Those springs are set on closing so trimming them also makes closing easier.. Both Gina's Chapuis are still plenty stiff even after JJ did...

Well. Because my wife wanted it. The other reason is ammo availability and performance.

I was thinking of trying the Hornady 270 grain SP-RP ammo.... in my brief trial lady night, it seems like more velocity equalled tighter regulation. However if Gina and/or her dad choose to use the Iphisi for buffalo this July, I'm pretty sure we will feed it the 300 grain Federal TBBC. I was...

And it takes a good bit of diesel fuel and natural gas to produce it. I believe it issd to be about a wash ner energy wise but ybe technology and efficiency has improved some.

Beautiful leopard Charlie, congratulations!

Definitely a soft bossed bull with that soft boss being boiled away. Your buddy has good reason to go back and hunt a dugga boy;)

Good looking Jackal! Congrats on a great hunt so far Charlie.

Tim if they did, they would not be leftists.

Ok, Safari Barbie aka @Just Gina says to tell everyone that she has been slaving like a cursed Princess in a fairy tale, painting and even repairing drywall. So we are getting down to the wire on our next trip to Africa and she asked me to go sight in and shoot her Iphisi. So I did that tonight...

Wow, I really need to find time to look into such fine bolt rifles. 375 such as this or lower end .40 like 416 Rigby or 404 Jeffrey;)

And nowhere is anyone doing all the math! What does the rainforest do for decorbonizaion? Are trees good or are they bad? Because these Biden policies are cutting down trees and eliminating crop fields. They are destroying the planet in the name of "green energy" i.e. votes.

It stinks to High Heaven! And it is all voodoo math.

It would take a lot! I was really talking more along the lines of the Missouri or even Mississippi as the sources. However, look at the money going into other things! The Inflation Act. The Mitary. Other Public Works, social programs. We could do such a project. It would just take money...

I really think if such a project were to be undertaken, it would need to be captured run off water. i.e. dams built in river systems. I cannot see pulling that volume from natural lakes.... the World would need to be desperate for that to happen. Certainly surplus water captured downstream...

Truth, even selling milk. Oil price goes up, drives up corn price pretty directly because of that very strong ethanol component....In the US at least, about the same amount of corn is used for ethanol production as is used for livestock feed! That is huge! Together accounting for something like...

I remember this well when Trump tweeted that he was thinking about putting Tarriffs on steel. I needed to purchase several semi loads of re-bar to pour a couple miles of feed alleys and cattle aprons at our Kansas heifer replacement raising facility. The price basically doubled that day.... Even...

Hey Bill, @Just Gina wanted a GP. We were watching one on an auction. A 1934. It was sold choice with a '29 D. Got the winning bid and took the GP and then bought the D also for about $500 less... I'm more a fan of the late 1950's Johnny Poppers, but Gina likes to look at those older ones...

I know enough to be dangerous regarding that little dozer. We own one in the diesel version;) I'd be dearly tempted to buy it but no time this year to come get it. And come get it I would. Be a cool trip especially to work in a little hunting.... John Deere built that series of tractors with a...

Just got my carton ordered;)

Welcome home Charlie! Looking forward to rest of the tale :) And I'm sure @Just Gina wants to hear it retold in person at SCI next winter, she will listen intently while munching her Kale Salad;)
