Not quite an actual photo but I was curious if I could see/hear about some different ways the good folks on here like to display photos of their hunts. My father keeps a framed photo alongside each of this shoulder mounts, but I have a number of trophy photos that have no physical trophy taken...

Looking at picking up a Mauser in 7x57 as a gift for my brother in law and saw that there aren't a lot of offerings of factory loads in this caliber beyond the PPU and S&B FMJ/SP loads. Does anyone have experience with the 173gr SPCE load from Sellier and Bellot and can speak toward its...

I had the pleasure of hunting with PH Barend Dorfling during a recent plains game hunt in Namibia and simply had to extol the virtues of this man as a PH and expert in his field. Barend truly made my Dad and I's hunt great, and is someone I will insist on hunting with the next time I visit the...

I recently returned from Namibia, completing an 8-day plains game hunt with @Jamy Traut Hunting Safaris. Hunting Africa has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and Jamy's operation made the dream a reality that was even better than I had imagined. Before even arriving, the...

Shopping with my Dad in preparation for our hunt this summer in Namibia while on vacation. Found a deal on safari shirts that we like, but they're only in camo. With it being the middle of the night in Namibia I figured I'd ask here: is Camo illegal in Namibia? I know it is in some countries...

I usually reload but was wanting to take some factory loads out for plains game next year and was curious what the consensus is on the Winchester Super-X bullet design? Looking at using 180 gr out of an '06 and want to make sure I don't end up wishing I'd gone with something else. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me what the state of rainfall is in Namibia for the last few years and what the outlook is for the next year or two? Specifically asking about the area south of Windhoek. Thanks.

I'm planning a management hunt to Namibia in 2024 and can't seem to find answers on a couple of points. Where this is management, I'm not looking at bringing anything back to the states. Without any physical objects being imported, am I still able to get the 15% VAT back on my hunt price...

I'm looking at picking up a Leica Rangemaster 2000, used locally. Gentleman selling it can't remember if it was purchased before their new warranty went into effect 1 January 2021. Is there any way I can look up if this item is covered by the warranty? I have the serial number on it.

I'm looking at picking up a rangefinder so I can quit borrowing one from my hunting buddy. I want to start this petition for advice by saying the I'm military, so preference will be given to those companies that offer military discount/"pro deals" such as leupold and vortex and any others I'm...

Title says it all. Picked up a Mannlicher 1908 and would love to get some loads worked up for it. PM me with what you have. Thanks!

I'm currently looking for an outfitter in Namibia offering management hunting options. Are there any I should reach out to? I would prefer camping out to any kind of fine amenities and free range to fenced options as I'm after an authentic experience on the more challenging and difficult side...

Looking at purchasing a rifle case for travel. Don't see myself traveling outside of the continental U.S. to hunt more than once or twice to Alaska, South Africa, and the U.K. I know pelican has a great reputation for their hard cases and have used some loaners a time or two on my flights to...

Good evening all, I'm a university student who's been a lurker on here for some time now. I'm wanting to do a bit of reading on the impact of Kenya's 1977 ban on hunting. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction where I can get some statistics on populations, funding, overall health...
