HUNTROMANIA

It will seem strange not see Her Majesty on the Balmoral Estate. She took an avid interest in the management of the Red Deer herd on the estate and was a deer stalker herself. If you were invited to go fishing that was our current king Charles III (as the Duke of Rothesay), grouse shooting...

In Honor of Cal Pappas-NKWE SAFARIS

I think now my top 3 are 7mm-08 Remington, 500/416 Nitro Express and 375 Ruger.

This is so right. African voices are not being taken seriously. https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jun/01/its-neocolonialism-campaign-to-ban-uk-imports-of-hunting-trophies-condemned-aoe

Don't know about Senegal and Kenya but Morocco also allows Barbary Sheep hunting.

Great Icon of Heavy Operatic Rock. RIP

The only paper on the hunters side. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/jan/13/poorly-conceived-trophy-hunting-bill-puts-wildlife-at-risk-uk-government-told-aoe?

Great letter. Boris Johnson needs to go along with his wife.

HUNTROMANIA

That's why Mrs Johnson wants this act passed asap. Boris could be out of a job soon.

Lord Goldsmith is very anti hunting and so is the Prime Minister's wife and father.

Still to go through the house of lords because it has too because of Lord Goldsmith who is a cabinet minister for the environment and he proposed this The cross bench peers could demand that the committee for this hear from hunting organisations and the affected countries before deciding...

I have noticed on the blaser website that they have 8.5x55 Blaser Calibre in the R8 rifle. They say it is suitable for Moose and Large Antelopes such as Eland, Waterbuck, Kudu, Sable and Roan. It fires a .338 bullet in 230 grains. Now where legal would it be suitable for lion and leopard?

HUNTROMANIA

Yes, still to go through the Lords.

They have no idea about conservation, it's not about protecting animals, it's about managing habitat and the wildlife that's there.

375 Ruger for me

HUNTROMANIA

I found this on a website; Animal rights is a radical ideology against keeping any animals under human care (i.e. no pets, no livestock, no zoos, etc.). It is far different than animal welfare which supports animals being kept humanely. In fact they are against humans having anything to do...

Any animal looks good as a full mount even giraffe and elephant if you have the space

Yes. Right caliber for the animal you're hunting.

I would get both but I prefer the 404 jeffery or dakota. Less recoil than the 416.

Welcome to the forum

HUNTROMANIA

This has gone beyond the joke now. Travel bans/restrictions don't work. Masks, vaccination etc that's what works. Knee jerk reaction by politicians.

Now that is my kind of honeymoon.

Ethiopia has several such as the Mountain Nyala and Meneliks Bushbuck. Uganda the Sesee Islands Sitatunga, Zambia has the Black Lechwe. Africa has both common and unique species no matter where you go.

Great Trophies

Muzzy Trocar HB for me. Hybrid design never fails fixed and mechanical in the same head.

How much would this hunt cost now?

Great offer. Good trophies

I think they will have to quarantine on arrival or test negative.

Leica are good scopes. One of my personal favorites.

You'll be OK with the 250 savage. Anything good for deer is good for plains game including warthogs

Baboons are funny creatures. Notoriously difficult to hunt.

Great trophy, congratulations

Great report. Hope to do this. Now Bow or Gun.

Hope not. Will the pandemic ever end

Very informative

Yes, it's enough gun for buffalo. Teddy Roosevelt used it for lion and rhino.

I would hunt the color phases of antelope etc. They are just the same animal only a different color.

I would say that it's 3 different rifles but it depends on the country you are entering and the customs office

Polictians panicking as usual.
