    Blaser Rifles?

    I have multiple Weatherbys and they are by far my go-to rifles. Kick like a damn mule though...I don't shoot my .378 any more. Aside from an Elephant, there is nothing that the .340 could not handle unless you are flat out looking for heavier gr bullets. I realize you need 375 and larger in...

    Blaser Rifles?

    Caught the Blaser bug a few months ago. Cannot decide on an R8 or S2 (I'm sure both at some point). Does anyone know if they have good deals on these at the annual conventions...SCI or DSC? I've never been to either of the annual conventions but plan to attend SCI next year.

    I like how your PH thinks. Do you mind sharing the outfitter and location?

    1. You are awesome. 2. If I wasn't already going to be in Eastern Cape for most of June I would join you.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Rance Game Farms In Eastern Cape?

    Beautiful Kudu! I especially like the foot pedestal for the rear hoof.

    Need new Hunting buddies

    Anyone else have a lack of friends willing to pony up the cash it requires to go on good hunts? Most of my friends look at me like I'm crazy when telling them the cost of some of my travels. I'm not wealthy and most of my good buddies make fair wages. I realize I am addicted to this crap...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Rance Game Farms In Eastern Cape?

    Great Trophy! What are your plans for the mount? I'd have a hard time cutting a shoulder cape from that kudu after seeing those markings.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Rance Game Farms In Eastern Cape?

    I stand corrected: The Eastern Cape Greater Kudu range is almost right on top of the location of the Rance Safari locations according to the SCI map. I highly doubt the picture above is of a 59" Eastern Cape Greater Kudu though.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Rance Game Farms In Eastern Cape?

    The home range for the Eastern Cape Kudu is only a small pocket that is quite a bit further east and up the coast a bit. I'm confident there wouldn't be any around this location.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Rance Game Farms In Eastern Cape?

    Found the pic...not sure if the guy wants his pic on the web so I cropped it out. LOL...promise it is legit. Longest one was 59" Yes, that is the correct link above and this was taken from one of their two farms.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Did Someone Go Hunting With Rance Game Farms In Eastern Cape?

    Anyone been there ? Seen pics of a MONSTER Kudu taken from there. Just curious if anyone has insight into the game, PH, and overall experience.

    Hunting Mongolia Ibex, Argali, or Marco Polo

    Via an American friend of mine (who just conveniently married a Mongolian woman) I am working on a Mongolia trip for next late summer/fall. I think I want to key in on an Ibex, but am wondering what other species would overlap in habitat and hunting season? Anyone know? I obviously need to do...

    AH Hunting Trip...

    Fished POW just last fall (Sept). Fished with black bear on two separate occasions during my 6 days there. Inexpensive and can go home with late run silvers and bear. Not sure if the deer season is open at that time, but they are like rabbits and will come to within 10yds of you. I was...

    Diamond in the Rough Hunt the Northern Cape

    Great rates! Hmmm...may need to add couple days in Jo-burg in June. Do you have a minimum limit on days? Not sure I can pass up a Hartebeest for that price.

    Shipping Ammunition to South Africa

    My reasoning for shipping ammo was to leave the excess with the PH and to make sure I had the partition ammo I like... Can find plenty of info about bringing guns and ammo to Africa. Figured they wouldn't let me in with just ammo...so was just trying to understand if it was possible to just...

    Shipping Ammunition to South Africa

    Caught the Africa bug last year on my first, but short, trip. Had the chance to take a nice Kudu and I'm now obsessed. I have a few good friends that live in South Africa that are doing most of the foot-work setting up my next trip later this year. We decided it was easier to not bring a gun...

    Big Bore Addiction Group

    Started with a .340 Weatherby (I know, this is a baby bore) and then moved up to the .378 Weatherby. I'm still licking my wounds from the .378. When my nuts decide to drop again I plan to move up the Weatherby chain to a .416...in the meantime I've been eyeing a few different .375 H&H
