    Planning for Mozambique

    I leave in 3 weeks for my second hunt with Jaco in Niassa. Jaco is a fantastic PH who always works hard to give his clients the best experience. He has a great team. I could not recommend him enough to anyone interested in hunting in Moz.. You have to wonder why someone would repeatedly post...

    500 Jeffery Club

    I guess I am part of the club. I have a .500 Jeffery that has experienced precarious situations and I have seen her do things that show a level of power that has to be seen to believe. I have a Custom CZ 550 that has been customized by Matrix Gunsmithing who took over for AHR with their #2...

    Game Ranch Buffalo worth it? Or should I just do a Mozambique Hippo/Croc thing instead?

    There is no issue traveling with firearms to Moz. I traveled with guns last year and will take them again this year.

    Game Ranch Buffalo worth it? Or should I just do a Mozambique Hippo/Croc thing instead?

    Fred you are several months behind. Yes they had an issue in March/April of 2021 with an Al Shabaab uprising. This was very limited geographically and was well under control within a couple of months. It had no impact on my October 2021 safari in Moz. Moz is a large country and the vast majority...

    Game Ranch Buffalo worth it? Or should I just do a Mozambique Hippo/Croc thing instead?

    As others have said, Moz is not a war zone. That is a ridiculous over generalization. I was there last year and I am booked to go again this year. The Niassa Special Game Reserve is a truly special place. It is one of the last truly wild places left in Africa. Moz is safe throughout the majority...

    MOZAMBIQUE: Pain & Redemption In Niassa

    SAPS 520 FORM

    Yes it is needed. Page 2 of SAPS 520 at the top of the page you have to check the type of permit. In this case it would be (In-transit). When I went through with 3 hour layover in October they did not have my guns brought out to check them. But they reviewed my SAPS 520. Upon return they checked...

    Would you hunt in Africa, in case the trophies could not be imported to your country?

    I will continue to go for the memories. My dollars also support anti-poaching efforts that protect the areas in Africa I love. When those areas are gone....they are gone.

    MOZAMBIQUE: Pain & Redemption In Niassa

    Jaco, you are a special friend and I was honored to share that experience with you! For all of you that are encouraging me to thank The Almighty, I promise you I did. I have no doubt he was watching over us. I happen to know a special person said a prayer over all of us the night before all...

    MOZAMBIQUE: Pain & Redemption In Niassa

    Red leg, I plan to condense for DSC Journal. Jaco and I both are life members so seems like the logical place to get it published. I hear you......there were plenty of jokes in camp about my need to buy lottery tickets etc. I am not sure what to think about it other than when something like this...

    MOZAMBIQUE: Pain & Redemption In Niassa

    Doug the issues with Al Shabaab are very isolated and a long distance from Niassa. There are also many military resources from multiple countries having quite a bit of success. The Kwalata logistics were great. They met me on the tarmac as I exited the plane in Pemba. I never felt unsafe for the...

    MOZAMBIQUE: Pain & Redemption In Niassa

    Pain and Redemption in Niassa Face to Face with Black Death My first realization that something was amiss was Jaco screaming "David shoot it! Shoot! David Shoot!" I vividly remember that I had been holding my rifle awkwardly with it cradled over the crook of my left arm. I did not look up when...

    MOZAMBIQUE: KWALATA SAFARIS Oct 2021

    I have been pretty swamped with work since I returned from my hunt with Kwalata Safaris in Mozambique in October of this year. But, with some time off for the holidays, I wanted to get this story out. It was a 10- day Buffalo and Plains Game hunt that was originally booked in January of 2020 and...

    500 Jeffery Recoil?

    My preferred load is 570 grain Woodleigh at 2200. I find it slightly more tolerable than 535gr at 2400. I load H4350 at 116 grains with softs and solids.

    Greetings

    I plan to hunt Buff in Zimbabwe. I haven't decided on an safari outfitter/PH yet. I would appreciate any recommendations. I have a BRNO in .375 h&h at the moment. But, I will probably add something above .400 as well. Thanks for the tip on the shooting sticks!
