I've travel Atlanta to Jberg multiple times with rifles and always had to clear rifle with SAPS upon arrival and recheck rifles with Airlink next day when flying to Bots/Namibia/elsewhere in RSA. I've recently read on a different website that someone stated they flew Delta from Atlanta to...

Philip, please send me your price list. Also, what is the limit for each specie? Method of hunting used for culling? What is the average range for the shots? thank you Bob

When you ask for a trophy price list, ask if they have a cull/management price. I no longer book "trophy" hunts in Africa, but book cull hunts instead. Cull hunting much more reasonably priced and no shipping fees. However, I have had PH give me the skins and head mounts from cull animals at...

I use a Ruger guide gun. Stainless barrel, Alaska arms rings and leupold scope. Been to Africa several times. Tackdriver, very durable.

Please send me info re 7 day cull hunts. Daily rate plus price per animal. Thanks

Do you have any cull hunts available? 7 days, daily rate plus per animal price?

Alaska arms sells AAA quality hand milled Ruger rings. Once I switched to Alaska Arm ring all my rugers, 30-06, 375 and 416 shoot sub 1 inch moa.

This August I dropped a very large spotted male hyena in Botswana. Night hunting, from chair on ground not back of truck. Used a caller with different hyena territorial and challenge calls. Called in a pack. Most exciting 10 minutes I've had in years. Spotted hyena are dangerous game and a pack...

Had problem with Bloemfontein in 2023. Problem is airport so small, rifle transit so few that RSA unable to find a part time contractor to hand rifle transit paperwork. Kimberly was our alternate airport vs original destination of bloomfontein.

Midway has Winchester LRM primers in stock as of today.

Just read the attached article. Apparently Namibia and perhaps other African countries plan to impose visa requirements, because USA requires visa. Zimbabwe and Zambia currently require visa to enter/exit. This would proposal would make travel...

I shot a leopard from an elevated blind in Namibia, was happy to feel safe if the leopard was wounded and became angry. My PH in Botswana says that in Botswana the standard method he uses is hounds to chase/tree the leopard and if it stays in the tree use a rifle. But if it leaves the tree and...

Done trip from Tampa to Atlanta to JNB and then Maun 4 times. Just got back last week. If traveling with firearms, Delta direct to JNB minimizes risk of lost/delayed, only requires transit permit from RSA, and BOTS permit. Delta arrives in JNB early evening, check into City Lodge and fly Maun...

At the time of the trip in question, several years ago, RSA required ammunition box to be in checked luggage. Was clearly stated in Henry Rifle Permits documents. Delta agent in USA was "wigged out" over issue of rifle/ammunition. She called her supervisor and she also was unaware/untrained as...

I am having a "bear rug" flat skin mount prepared. They will use replica skull in skin mount and I will put bleached skull on shell with other predator skulls I have collected.

On the way back to USA. Here's spotted Hyena I shot with .308 camp rifle using Pulsar 30N pro. 200 meters and it came down road at my back, swung left and shot behind me with partial left butt cheek in chair. Rifle in picture is my 375 Ruger I used for finishing shot.

Leaving Atlanta on Sunday July 28 for Jberg. Happy to meet anyone else who is flying over.

I'm heading over to Botswana next Sunday July 28. Anyone going to be on that flight? If so maybe we can meet before boarding.

I hunted bots for 7 days last year, then went to vic falls for 3 days, then back to RSA for 8 days in East Cape. Vic Falls itself is spectacular and must see it bucket list location! Left my rifle with Bots PH, who met me at Kasane airport on return from Vic falls to get my rifle to continue to...

Thanks. I hope you have a great trip!

My first to trip to Africa, someone in Jberg broke lock on guncase. 2nd Trip someone in Jberg sprung lock on gun case. I now use heavy Yale locks (on Amazon via England). I only use combo lock and carry spare lock in rifle case. Combo lock avoids issue of...

I'm heading to Botswana in 2 weeks(4th trip there). When I asked PH about bringing cigarettes, Leatherman, etc for workers his answer was "clothes would be greatly appreciated." So I've filled up a large suitcase with 5 full sets of clothing, socks and shoes, long and short pants, tshirts, work...

I'm flying out of Atlanta to Jberg on Sunday July 28. If anyone else is on this flight, send me a PM. Perhaps we can meet up in Atlanta.

I'm interested in the reloading package. I'll try to send you a PM, but often my tech skills are lacking. 8

ATT has $10 per day, max $100 per month international plan. ATT generally has best network coverage in most foreign countries. Calls and texts. Wifi what's app on local Wi-Fi networks. I prefer what's app but found out not all my us friends on what's app.

I once had the same problem with ticket agent in US. I now carry a printed copy of TSA regulations, stating carry in checked luggage. Ticket agents confuse clothing being in the ammo box with locked ammo box inside locked suitcase. RSA law strictly prohibits ammo case being checked as a separate...

Yes, I was planning on getting a neck mount vs shoulder mount. My instinct follow your comment re taxidermist already shying away seems like a cya statement. Once I receive mount from Botswana to late to object to quality of cape. Thanks

I have an awesome double broken horn kudu head mount being processed in Botswana. Today taxidermist mentioned kudu cape tends to have slippage and hair loss on ears and they are "tricky at best". Any one have experience with kudu cape issues? I Would I...

Did Vic Falls last year between hunts. Spectacular ! Vic Falls hotel has an evening buffet with live native show that's great. Lookout restaurant on gorge great view & food for lunch. Get "double " entry visa for Zim if planning to cross into Zambia. Otherwise when leaving Zim you have to get in...

I was in Vic Falls this past July for 3 days between hunt in Botswana and East Cape. The Victoria Falls Hotel has a spectacular evening buffet with tribal dancing entertainment. Unbelievable great experience, way cheaper and better than tourist trap "Booma" experience. Enjoy your visit.

I always give $5 to airlink rifle handlers. Never had any problems. My hunting partner won't tip them and on 2 of our trips he had problems, delays that I did not have. $5 tip is well worth my avoiding unnecessary conversations with airline or govt bureaucrats.

I have hunted Botswana multiple times (as well as Namibia and RSA). Botswana opportunity for both PG and DG is unbelievable. I prefer PG cull hunts, and there are tremendous number of game farms with numerous species that are readily available at extremely reasonable pricing. Trophy hunting...

I plan on using Henry rifle permit to assist in capetown to eliminate the problems of new place/ new building. Used them many times in Jberg and they provide 5* service.

I'm heading to RSA in June. Flying delta from Atlanta to Jberg. Done this trip multiple times. This year I plan on heading to Capetown after I finish DG hunt in Botswana. Does anyone have experience flying delta direct flight from Capetown to Atlanta? Is this flight just as easy as the Jberg to...

What is LOP? Also do you have any reloading components? I'm willing to drive to meet you for ftf. Thanks

I'm heading to Botswana for a DG hunt in May 2024. Looking to add a side trip to Cape Town. Any recommendations for hotel (waterfront district) or tour guides would be greatly appreciated.

Last year in East Cape. I doubt you would find a virgin inside, maybe an oasis for the desperate or thirsty hunter.

Did you get a response from Henry regarding leaving the space blank?
