    COVID-19 Coronavirus UPDATES, BANS, CLOSURES, ADVISORY, etc.

    That's me out of circulation for the duration. My mum is 90 yo, has heart & lung problems & my brother is seriously ill with another problem, so my primary task is keeping mum safe.

    Expected Announcement From U.S. FWS Will Close Elephant Imports From Zimbabwe, Tanzania

    To satisfy the strident demands of shallow thinking bunny huggers. You know; the same people who would rather elk & deer naturally overpopulate then starve to death during hard winters.

    Northern Englishman signing in.

    Hi all. I'm looking to do an African hunt in 2012-13 depending on how the economy (& my health) goes. I've no interest in DG & will be planning on a purely plains game hunt. Some fishing might well be of interest too, as I own a fishing tackle shop here in Whitehaven. Looking forward to...
