Can someone tell me what happens to your rifles after you clear customs at Tambo? We are hunting in eastern cape and will eventually fly to port elizabeth.
We were considering staying at City Lodge 2 nights, using the train, and playing tourist in joberg and pretoria. Do we just lock them in...
I'm going to be the guy that comments on a dormant thread......
I have two M70's. One a New Haven, CT featherweight in controlled round feed 30-06 and another FN built M70 made in South Carolina. The FWT is very accurate and so is the FN gun. The safety on the FN gun in gritty while the one...
I will let you know in a few months what I think.
I doubt the political and economic disaster will have much impact on me going on a plains game hunt away from any large cities.
Amen to this. I wear a size 48 jacket. Apparently most men that wear that size are well over 300lbs. I am not. While I am not a small man at 6' 240lbs the "typical" XL button up shirt is barely large enough in the shoulders yet the body, or gut area, of the shirt is huge with at least an...
I am taking my first trip to Africa in April '18. I have chosen an outfitter.
This is the bag included with my hunt:
Kudu
Blesbok
Springbok
Impala
duiker
warthog
I am planning out all the finances and I got a quote for a shoulder mount on the Kudu and euro mounts on everything else. I will...
Zuma himself called him the future leader of RSA. There is no point in running a google search and trying to nit pick facts. Malema is a serious player in RSA politics. He does have major influence and his party is the 3rd largest political party in RSA and the largest political party (Anc)...
I guess I will touch on this since it is my topic. I will pass over the section of this subject that went off the rail to stupid town. Paying the day fee for the services of a PH and getting sent out with a tracker is bad business. Does the tracker get the PH's salary for the day? I...
I am not sure I follow. If the conversation is hunting and hunting only then I figured the moderator would have shut this down. My reason for starting this thread was to discuss the issue with hunters and NOT students or political types. No offense was intended.
I also want to say that I...
I found a review where a PH/owner sent the client out hunting without him. The client went hunting with a licensed guide/driver and the tracker. In the review it said something about the PH needing do something else that day and then another day (on the same hunt) something else on the farm...
I have a lot of learning to do that is for sure. I am not sure the region I hunt is that important to me on my first trip.
My main goals:
Stop dreaming and get on the plane
enjoy the company of the PH and staff
hunt some animals
lay the foundation for future trips and get experience hunting...
I am planning my first trip to Africa. It will be a fairly typical plains game hunt. I am trying to squeeze the best value possible out of this trip. So far the two companies I have focused on require connecting flights from JNB. One to Windhoek and the other to Port Elizabeth.
Would it...
It is not a smokescreen. It is a fact that the black political groups in southern Africa want to take white owned land. They say it themselves. The government condones the farm murders to likely speed up or motivate a sell.
Why are some of you reluctant to face these facts? why insist this...
I read it. It says the exact same things that are being reported all over the globe by hundreds of different news agencies. I linked to several when I started this thread.
As for not thinking its true because of certain comments, seriously? And what do you mean "sources in the article"? I...
I hope so. I truly do. In my lifetime only three places on this planet stir feelings of "home" in my soul. My own ancestral home in the southern Appalachians of east TN. Texas. Last but not least South Africa. I have no explanation for this. It simply is what it is.
Im not trying to be insensitive to anyone here but I get the vibe that DA is just some group led by white socialists that only want to protect themselves.
Has the DA ever stood up for Afrikaner/white/land owner rights before?
The DA may very well be better than the ANC but I severely doubt they will improve the plight of the Afrikaner that owns land.
Liberals saving you from racially charged communism seems odd to me.
ICQ,
Don't even get me started on social engineering. The GLOBAL left have been doing it for decades in US. I believe it started in the 50's. I will spare everyone the volumes I could write on this and state only the following on social engineering: I believe the same "global leftists" that...
Would I still travel to SA or Namibia?
Yes, for now
Would I ever consider living or investing there?
Absolutely not.
I would like to consider moving to Africa someday but the political climate and the crime and corruption rule out the idea.
I am very concerned for the citizens.
I was editing my post when you posted phoenix. Nothing was meant to any single person but just an observation.
I posted links to stories with zuma's quotes. Some (ive lost track of who) said things about trusting news on the internet. The president said these things. Fact.
I have a ton of experience dealing with a dishonest media. I am American, white, southern, Christian, pro-gun, and a conservative/libertarian. Almost 93% of media in the USA are liberal democrats.
Don't hide behind the " dont believe everything on the internet" dismissal.
I think I notice...
Maybe a smokescreen for an issue in district 9?
On a serious note I see no way this is not a real threat. I get not wanting it to be real but to think this is some fake ploy to divert attention from something else seems illogical.
Oh the media in the US is totally biased to a left leaning perspective but it is hard to imagine that attempting to change the constitution is a smokescreen.
Either Zuma is or he isn't. It's that simple. I'm pretty certain the ANC would consider taking white owned land a great acomplishment...
Not exactly poor destitute farmers here. I saw a scoped rifle, this was recorded on a cell phone, and some people were wearing uniforms from some sort of commercial farming operation.
I also think American sensitivities about animals and the overwhelming desire of Americans to keep pets clouds...
I came across this forum about a year ago and just joined to start learning more about booking the right hunt at a good value. I've been dreaming of hunting Africa for some time but I have turned the corner from daydreaming to actually putting money away for a hunt. On my salary it is quite the...
