What is the poundage of your bow? I just got back from a buff hunt with a buddy and did not see a significant difference in penetration between 700 gr arrows and 800 grain arrows out of 70# bows. The broadhead made more of a difference. Iron Will broadheads penetrated better.

Yes, I know its not the same level. I would not attempt an Elephant with a 9,3- that will be with the 375 Ruger with solids. I was just wondering if we were after plains game and happened across buffalo. Many say the 9,3x62 is sufficient on a buff. I do happen to have some 286gr Woodleigh...

Wow, if that’s the new rule it’s a killer…

I was comparing the 9,3x62 Mauser vs the 9,3x64 brenneke. On a side note I can reload my ‘62 to higher velocities than factory fodder since it’s in a modern action

So the 9,3x64 would be enough power? Not that I have one anyway

That is a good point- May happen on a DG animal just being out…

I generally travel with my bow in a rolling duffel bag with my clothes and gear. So I will be bringing a hard sided double rifle case. Thus the thought to bring 2 rifles. My buddy may also use the second rifle for “bait” as well. I Know traveling lighter is easier. But is there much...

The 375 Ruger is the largest caliber I have- not ready to upgrade yet to a “proper” Elephant rifle until this hunt is paid and I decide I like elephants :LOL: This hunt will be for a non-importable non-trophy animal. The PH said it would work just fine for a brain shot at correct distance and...

Wow, speechless :love:

Here are the two I mentioned- What scope would you put on the 375 Ruger? What bullets to load? For Elephant? For Buffalo? The 9.3x62 has a vortex razor 1.5x8x 32 on it. I currently have a load with 250gr TSX bullets

Looks like my buddy talked me into another trip last 2 were archery hunts in South Africa. This time the real deal for Dangerous game in Zimbabwe! I still plan to bring a bow to hopefully get a leopard which will be the primary target. Secondary will be Elephant which I plan to use my...

I’ve had good luck with RL 15. Surprised it’s not on that list

If they do ban it how long would it be until out into effect?

No worries! Stories and pictures of a Bongo or Lord Derby Eland would be great

Right, that’s why it would be two different hunts, plus to go to ideal areas for each as to trophy quality. Which first……

Wow, lots of interests in these hunts. Thanks for the info so far. Sounds like both could be in the future, with most saying LDE first From a numbers standpoint would you say there are more LDE hunts available vs Bongo? Equal quality currently available for both? Any one more likely to be less...

Which one would you prefer to hunt? Of course I would love to do both but if you had to prioritize a hunt which would you say is an overall “better” experience? Value? On a side note, are there any future concerns with either animals availability or importability to the US?

What are your requirements for archery equipment on Giraffe?

Thanks for the info. Are there other companies to consider for the importation process?

So not looking to good? how many years back is the backlog?

Thanks. From what countries does the US potentially allow ivory?

What are the current options for an Importable elephant hunt? I heard it’s “case by case” basis to the USA, but I would assume some have a proven track record. I would also assume these are more expensive than other hunts? What size tusk would you consider “minimum “ to go through the...

That would be quite dangerous on an excited bull! They do have electronic ejaculators that work on sedated males. A much safer way!

Just like every hot market should have got in 5 years ago. I was talking to one operation and they said a prime breeder giraffe could go for $250,000! Could make this like the Holland Tulip Mania of the 1600’s and start selling futures on animals not born yet!!

Wow that is a great deal on beautiful animals!

I had a 35 whelen that is now a 9.3x62 less “mysterious headspace” issues that many claim doesn’t exist…..

found some dies, would like some brass?

I picked up a new to me 375 Ruger and am looking for dies and brass. Please let me know if you have any to sell? Thanks

How much to ship to Alaska?
