Could be part of the package, no license required.

Would love to do this.... Luxury liner from Miami to capetown would be cool. On the secondary topic, I hate anything non perishable going into the ocean but skeet shooting may be worth the extra flotsam. We used to shoot flying fish jumping the wake with pellet guns as a kid.

Looks like it's going to be nasty....

Not arguing as to which is stronger but there have been many DRs built on the side lock action in 500, 600 and even now 700. Doesn't seem to be a weak link or a deterrent to Boss, Purdey, H&H to continue to build them on the tried a true sidelock. My first DR being built now is a box lock but I...

Guess not but after they clean them up, we could hunt them!

May need to release leopards in the Everglades to combat the invasive species explosion.

Can't wait to see it!

Those are great!

9ft

Just got my courteneys, very comfortable but a lot of space above the toes. Width is good, length is good but there seems to be a lot of volume in the toe box that doesn't need to be there. I went with the tracker model in buffalo. I'd like to try a bushveld as I like lighter shoes generally.

Well, the mercury content is a byproduct of the pelagic diet not pollution. Sharks, tunas, billfish, etc that are ocean fairing predators all have high mercury levels in their meat. It mostly effects long lived, deep feeding predators. Basically, it starts at the bottom of the food chain with...

Beautiful, congrats! Post some pics of the deer and pigs after being hit with that.

Pictures!

Yet people aren't killed every day.....you can carry by sling, over the shoulder or by the receiver with your trigger hand; all effective under the right circumstances.

No sorry, not in Africa. Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas all worked but I have zero experience on the dark continent. Canada and Mexico were other's equipment so I don't know what their set up was specifically.

Not a PH but have hunted over dogs for thirty years and have always used tri tronics which is now owned by garmin. Great products and customer service/warranty. Have used dogtra as well but just their ecollars.

Real estate developer, mostly hotels. Working on my eBay store of used ball point pens.

Great story of a memorable hunt. A full size leopard and Scott mount may not be the way to go, but wow, what a lasting impression. Great job on stopping the action. Good excuse to buy a double rifle!

Had not ordered my Rizzini, I'd be buying this: https://www.wrusedguns.com/view/rifles/l-artelier-verney-carron-9-3x74r-over---under-double-rifle-/

Too scary for fathers! Happy Father's Day all, stay vigilant!

Whaling in northern coastal areas has been done for hundreds of years because its one of their only large sources of renewable protein. To me, that makes it ethical. There are whales in the Caribbean and gulf, Orcas too (which are actually the largest member of the dolphin family and not whales)...

I have a Rifles Inc 300 winmag that's just under 5#s without the scope. Perfect for me for the mountains or long treks.

Post here if you can as well for the rest of us. Good luck!

Yep. Also, Zoli, Caesar Guerini, Beretta, and I chose Rizzini. Quite a few in the $25-40k range as well.

Plan on using mine for everything I can when it shows up. 9.3x74R O/U. Not using the best tool for the job but it's fun to get up close and use open sights.

Very well done. The hypocrisy is amazing especially when you ask them to consider that they're making enemies with someone willing to kill so irreverently and who has honed their skills to do so.

Good to hear, I love hunting with dogs and currently have a staffie so I have this in my que. Edit: meant to quote BC.Pat about Jock of the bushveld.

Second the suggestion on Wilbur Smith, great writer, avoid the Egyptian stuff. Start with When the lion feeds.

So no?

Looking forward to the 2018 show. Directly next to my office next year!

Hmmm, I think it would be unique if you only waited for the DG to charge before firing your bow ala Mark Sullivan. Might only be one episode though. (-: Seriously though, I also like it when there is discussion on gear, travel, game cleaning, food prep, cooking game, local curiosities etc...

F$&8ing awesome! Post the vid

I would tend to think it's their handgun ammo that keeps them in business. They have a better rep there it seems. Wonder what the break down on their sales is. I could see it heavily tipped towards 9mm, .45, etc..

I've started researching this a bit as I'm about to get a 9.3x74R. The factory options for that round are very limited with Hornady and Federal being the most widely available it seems. What do folks think of the Federal product in a double? TNA

So cool! Reminds me of my seven year old, she's tougher than I'll ever be. I have a 9.3x74R coming which she swears she'll out shoot me with! And I absolutely love hog hunting with dogs. Raised a bunch of boar dogs, mostly pits and dogos, nothing more fun to hunt on this continent.

saw that as well. That site is so misinformed and bias I hate to even click on it but in this case I wanted to see what they had to say.

Great thread, my 4 year old has a bunch of them as well. He also has a huge set of sea creatures, loves them all but it's usually some sort of battle that kills one off and I have to "bury" it.

Where was the buff taken? I just ordered my first double in 9.3x74R and really want to take one with that gun but see it doesn't meet the minimums in most places.

I went through a big disposal process of 400+, mostly accumulated by my father. I've been rebuilding some of the things I'm interested in. Oddly enough, there are plenty I wished I had kept. Some of interest, some because values soared. Really though, I've had a learning experience that quality...

Yep, kind of a big commercial. Tracks across Africa just did a Heym special that was pretty good too.

Interested to hear what's out there as well other than YouTube

Is he related to Poen van Zyl? Just some him on Tracks across Africa as the PH. Agree with the above, such a strange set of circumstances that we've heard that it defies a logical thought pattern. That said the simplest solution is usually the right one. I hope they're shooting the big crocs.

very cool gun! Love the anticipation on the ejectors video, lol. I ordered my first double last month and can't wait. Enjoy it in good health.

They take a fee to provide a service. You can choose not to use their service. The coordinator chose to use them. Most charge a fee for a service.

What kind if work do you do there?

Sweet! I've been looking for a new O/U scatter gun and want to handle some of their wares before I make a decision. Sgt it's a new high end outfitter: http://gordyandsons.com/

Collectors is a good place to handle stuff but they've been unwilling to negotiate to market in my experience. I'm usually willing to spot them extra for convenience and to support a local brick and mortar but no luck so far. When is Gordy and sons opening?

Agree on Carters

Not on those channels but I'm excited to see the film!

Keeping this at the top, hope this ends well.
