The meat is a big benefit of hunting in US and its territories. I understand that you can bring in meat from Canada after a process. Would have liked to have my meat from my Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala and Blue WB flash frozen and sent home.
I need to update the group on the hunt that George Dumitru of Romanian Hunting Outfitters hosted for me a few years ago. As you all can see tfrom the original contest offered by him was that part of the prize that George offered was that two of my roe deer were to be mounted (shoulder mount)...
I saw a large bull just standing in rthe grass at 100 yards when we were deer hunting in the Caballo Mountains north of the missile range last year. Most impressive.
I have listened to accounts from employees from our Game and Fish Department of these animals impailing mountain lions on their...
Hi George, Just in case you have forgotten, I am still waiting for my mounts. I do not know how to get through to you, but I have been very patient. Out of kindness, I sent 200 USD to help you out two years ago. You still did not send me my mounts. I have offered to pay for all of the...
Loved our trip there too. Andri and Beans are top notch! My nephew and son got to try the "Bushman's ass" with Andri, Beans, and Johann on my nephew's 18th birthday. They still talk about it today- 3 years later (I have searched for "Bushman's Ass" whiskey for the past two years and didn't...
I guess it really depends on your pocketbook. Vortex and Leupold make acceptable entry level scopes. I took a new Vortex Viper Viper 6-24×50 to Africa with me for my .308 and it worked real well. My son's Leupold also worked well there on his .30-06. Leica and Swarovski make really nice...
One thing you need to be familiar with though. British Airways and others have different policies on rifles and ammo. BA required me to call them ahead of time and let them know about the rifles or they would not transport them. All American and Delta require you to declare the firearm when...
I agree 100%. Mr. X was worth every penny we spent. He was fantastic both entering and leaving RSA. He even walked me back across the airport and through the back of the operation to get someone's passport back after it was left in a station on other side.
Our group all gave him extra...
I probably shouldn't complain as I did draw a desert bighorn last year, but I really want one of those speedgoats! That looks like it was up around Vaughn or Encino. Which GMU were you in?

- Species harvested or intended to be harvested: Roe Deer

I was planning to take my firearm with me, but chose to leave it behind when I discovered a mistake on the import papers signed by the Romanian officials.
Iberian and American were going to be no problem to take it in from DFW via Madrid to Bucharest. Because of the timing we had to come back...
His operation is legit. In addition to my wife and I, there was a hunter from Illinois, USA and a couple of doctors from Spain that were hunting with George's company at that time in Carei. He was a great host and has a number of hunts offered throughout the country. I am planning on going back...
On the sightseeing portion of the trip, we saw the 12th century town of Sighişoara, the birthplace of the national hero, Vlad Tepes, or Vlad the Impaler (of Dracula fame) as he is known to the world. We also toured several castles including Bran Castle (of Dracula fame) and Pele's Castle (the...

Hi Everybody,
I am back from our trip to Romania (Aug 2019). I again want to thank George Dumitri from @Romania Hunting Outfitters...
I have a Marlin 444s with a 22 inch barrel. Tried sighting it in with a scope, but ended up taking it off and using iron sights because most animals we ran into in Eastern Cape were with 150 yards and I prefer the iron sights. I used the factory Hornady 265 grain FTX Leverevolution cartridges...
Nice gun, too bad you had to part with it. Love the action on that one. I have a model 4 in .303 Brit. that my grandfather brought back from Australia in WWII. I shoot it all the time.
Have taken down a Blue Wildebeest and Greater Kudu with my Marlin 444s, and I agree, that caliber packs a...
My three:
30-06 Spr. (Hard to beat as a go-to caliber for small to medium game animals)
300 Win. Mag. (Mule Deer, Elk, Sheep, medium to large African horned game- but maybe not the cape buffalo tanks, unless I was 100 yards away or more)
444 Marlin (Lever action bush gun with some "thump")
