Talk about “Choot it! Choot it!”. Seriously though, he’s lucky that bull didn’t stick that horn tip in his bum or kidneys.

This was our second trip with Tsala Safaris having hunted with them for buffalo in 2021 during the Covid restrictions. That trip far exceeded all hopes in the entire experience so when we again had the opportunity to go back on our second safari the, "with who", question was already settled, it...

With the leaders of the world apparently all collectively loosing their minds and taking the world back to Cold War times or possibly far worse what’s your take on the future of international hunting. With the BRICS Nations and the West heading increasingly in opposite directions with an eye...

Got my crate today and couldn’t be happier with the taxidermy job done by Bull’s Eye Taxidermy in Valwater South Africa. African Legacy Logistics was top notch in every way and Trophy Shippers stayed on top of things getting it to my door. The quality of the animals we took with Tsala will be...

Ok, here’s a brain teaser for your consideration. I bought a pre 64 Winchester model 70 in 300 H&H a few years back with the intent of taking it to Africa. I bought factory Hornady 180 grain ammo and shot it but my best groups were 1 1/4 inches. So I began working hand loads with various...

I post this in case someone else ever encounters this. My old work horse rifle is a Winchester 54 made in 1926. It is plain but I love this old gun. It has the original stainless steel barrel with the factory paint job, yes paint, and is chambered in 30-06 with a Lyman W64 peep and 2 folding...

Ok, I've always heard the bit about once you get the dust of Africa on your boots you'll have to go back. But I never heard of the depression you may experience after returning. After getting back on a Sunday I made myself go golfing on Wednesday, yes made myself and I'm a golf nut. But on...

These are 2 recovered A-Frames. The one on the left from a Zebra 298grains. The one on the right a Buffalo, a bang flop 292grains. I’m a Swift A-Frame fan after the performance they gave me. The jacket thickness is perfect and seems to expand appropriately for the amount of resistance it...

Ever since I was old enough to read I have read books on hunting in Africa and spent countless hours daydreaming of tracking an old Cape Buffalo bull. Of sunsets and sitting around a fire reliving what a great day we had just spent hunting and the sounds of the night about us and the stars...

Well, it’s finally happening. I’m wheels up tomorrow for my first Safari. Myself and my wife are heading to Limpopo to hunt Buffalo with @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS. I want to thank all of you guys for all the things I’ve learned but also all you guys that inspire through your stubborn refusal to...

How much time should I allow when coming back into the U.S. when returning through Newark with my rifle?

I have searched around for the answer with no luck. I have QD rings on my scopes. Can I detach them and carry them in my carry on to South Africa? Common sense says of course, but I know common sense doesn't govern much nowadays.

I'm Eric from Virginia and currently I am trying to scratch that life long Africa itch and plan my first safari. Guess I've been stalking threads etc... here and have found a lot of good info. Thanks for that. I haven't posted anything because frankly I've been trolled so many times on other...
