I had not considered muzzle flash. Lon

I purchased mine in Zimbabe. Lon

Several years ago I spent money on pulsar night vision, which I used with limited success. There is a big difference between sitting in a blind 75yards from a hog feeder and hunting PAC elephant in a mealie field at unknown distances. You just do not know the distance. NV fell into disuse except...

Wow I am overwhelmed at all of the help. At this stage getting around is a bit of a problem. Being in Zimbabwe makes everything ten times worse. So here is where we are at. RIFLE: Heym Martini Mag Mauser Express BASES: Alaska Arms RINGS: Alaska Arms .06 Height 12 o clock position. SCOPE: NX8...

I should have added does any know the best QR rings and bases. Sorry, this will be going on a Heym Martini Mauser in .404 J.. Lon

I am interested in purchasing a nightforce NX8 parallex is factory set at 125m, I would like to have it factory set at about 80m. Does anyone know if Nightforce will do this and length of time for delvery. Time is important. Lon

Sorry sold out. Reports from the fishermen tell us that we have 2 good bull and 1 really good bull for this area. Liesl is on her way back to Mlibizi with a Texas hunter he will be the last hunter to take advantage of this incredible price of $15,000.00. All of our hunters left with more than...

I have you decided on which rifle you want to take with you? Personally I cannot decide between .470N George Gibbs or .404 Heym Martini express. Not sure on ammo availability? Will there be a HHG Hunting Forum.

That is the best story so far.

When the warthog A10 isnt enough

When you can find bits and pieces on the man eaters of Chirundu. Think it compares or even more interesting. I believe there is a reprint from the African hunter. If Africa could only give up all of her stories. Lon

No just one name. Lon

I live in Zimbabwe we are quite a few hours ahead of the USA. I received a message from a relative of Gregs. At about 0700 CAT time I posted. Zimbabwe PH killed by buffalo. I knew the name but not having any more details I felt it not appropriate to post more info. A little later I looked and I...

When I started this thread I had only that a Zimbabwe PH had been killed.

This is my second post on this thread. Ken can make, mount & regulate. He can also come up with a reduced recoil load. Would any that talks to him please tell him I said hi. Lon

A RMR mounted as low as possible is about as good as it get. Elephant should be taken at 50 meters or less, a lot less. Lon

I know this was directed towards clients, I just want to say this. In Zim your hunting area is as important as your PH.

Due to the Arms embargo there are very few new models being used. Again import permit $2,000.00 + 40% + license a new Winchester .458 ends up costing $5,000.00 pluss. Lon

If you wonder what we do if we not sell it to one of our members we will sell it to another company at the same price and since we will not be supplying a PH we will actually make $2,500.00 more and we do not have the extensive paperwork. Lon

I was going thru these posts. We are allowed to hunt at night but do not. We supply al required info and have a very good reputation. This helps. The average age is about 20 yrs. Now the US wants to know how we age before the elephant is taken. At this time we hae one permit remaining. We do...

Find the original stock. Lon

A few things to remember. It is going to cost a Learner PH several thousands of dollars to take this test. Time of work at least three days or more. A week long prep course about $700.00. Ammo for this course depending on ammo used probably $200.00 Cost of course, I do not know what it is...

Meant SSS

SOS shoot shovel shut up Krish is correct Lon Does anyone know if there is a dictionary of acronyms?

Hi I almost forgot about this incident. My wife Liesl was on the trigger of the of the Heym 88b .450-.400. I can say say: A Federal Premium B Sako Brown Bear, Condition excellent. No more details as it might damage the reputation of the first shooter. Who is a PH. I will say this if you ever...

4 of the 6 PHs that we use, use double rifle all 470 evans, gibbs, heym & chapuis.

What country are you in, it makes a difference.

Habib is there anything you do not lnow? Lon

I have only seen one. It was being worked on at the “Shotgun Shop”Bill Houston was not impressed it was built on a Browning side by side. I remember him saying do you want that firing pin coming out the back of the receiver, going thru your eye and out the back of your head. I nevere heard of it...

Habib I will let the secret out. I very special friend of Indian decent knew for the last 20 years I was looking for a authentic one. A few years ago one of his relatives was a 4th battalion Gurka who marched in queen Elizabeth the seconds coronation parade. They were each given a special...

Although they are bore rifles. Ken Owens built and maybe still is building 4bore doubles. Keep up the great work and stories. I have a question for you. I was given a very, very special Kukuri. Do you know much about them? Lon

Most will laugh at me, but a true tracker has a spiritual connection with the animal he is tracking. Now and then you will see a great tracker will grab a hand full of buffalo dung in his hand, not to tell the temp, but to control the speed the buff walks. Tighter the squeeze the slower the...

My post is about the picture not the camera. The other day there was a old black and white. It depicted a old time hunter with a very big brown/grizzly bear. What really made me smile was his then fairly new .303 Enfield. Camera probably a Kodak Brownie. Lon

I will add to my previous post. My most memorable hunts were the ones where the buffalo was hunting me or us. There is nothing more on this earth than to be able (which I am not) to hunt one last buffalo, just not sure if I would pull the trigger. The buff would just call it a cull hunt. Kevin...

I have hunted over 100 buffalo. I even took a few of them. Hunting is a passion, killing not so much.

I think in the near future your going to see many govt fees go up. Not all fees not all countries. I know what .Zim. Did to us on gun licenses and that was after 2 months or longer of no licenses issued. Not your visitors ours. There was a good chance that if you were using a rental gun that...

Client just returned to Lodge, was unable to take bush pig & trophy quality impala. Sure is happy with his leopard & very big hyena. To bad he is not hunting elephant, 40lb+ 15 minutes from lodge. Lon

Thank you for your educated, professional advice. When someone post that an individual or business stole money from them and it is false is that person not held accountable? The bat part of this is forever the internet. Once upon a time a organization that had a grudge did a posting where if...

How can there not be liability. Fortunately I think the outfitter is out there doing what he enjoys most hunting. Lon

I not sure if the outfitter co. name was stated, but I believer ownership was. I would never accuse anyone of a crime in print unless I was 100% sure. I have known a lot of dodgy opetators, but I believe I only mentioned one by name “Out of Africa” many people know the operators name. Events...

Watching this post I see that there are several members who have a very good grasp of Canadian law. I have a question if I do a posting on a members only web site that a non member stole a large sum of money from me and it was a false statement and I feel my reputation was damaged am I entitled...

It was unfortunate that there was a need for this thread in the first place. I cannot speak for BC, but at least in our remote part of Zim. Electricity is spotty as is internet. We do not have a dedicated office nor someone who sets by the phone waiting for it to ring. Oh, I forgot there is...

Todays cell phones offer a lot, just lacking in telephoto. Lon

I use to do the same with tri-tronics. Alas, I forgot to do it on my best dog “Ol Raymond.

It has had the same effect as the moratorium and later ban on mtn lion hunting had in california numbers exploded and they lost there fear of man. Lon

Your fortunate that you were on a game farm where you were legally able to take a second animal. If you were hunting in another country and had the one permit, it would have been a different ending. That is where the quality of the PH really comes into play, of course you have to do your part...

My error it is a .470 Lon

When I started this post it was half in jest. I was although thinking of Hemmingway and his fishing boat hunting German subs with his double (600?) then I think he got the govt. to give him a mounted machine gun, but maybe that was just legend?

Is he saluting the Somali pirates or is he with them.
