    Africa At Last

    As much as I will never own a Blaser we must face the facts they do work and hunters go back home alive using them in Africa. If it was a R93 different story. But for this brilliant piece of writing I surely hope to read of a result with a proper buffalo.

    Would you like a Cigar?

    They were sure great cigars glad you enjoyed it. Even better smoking them at 8pm on my birthday in your garden with a heat wave you guys experienced in Brussels. After that we had some more Vampire meat and good whiskey. Was a great end of a superb day.

    Would you like a Cigar?

    I bought two 2 x Oliva V series Melanio in Brussels for my birthday celebration with @VertigoBE in Brussels and I must say the prices were cheaper or about the same as in South Africa with current exchange rate of EUR vs ZAR.

    25-06 Rem in Africa

    Broken in my 25-06 this weekend past. Learned a few things on longer range shooting 200-400 meters. Used 117gr Sierra Game Kings with N560 at 3040fps. Checked drop here in Pretoria sighted it in at 200 meters here but it was higher on the farm. Had to drop quite a bit to get it to zero or just...

    Trijicon SRO 1 MOA works like a charm the bigger viewing window helps a bunch and extra bonus battery is fitted from top so need to take off sight. I cahnge battery once a year but the booklet talks about 3 year lifespan on battery at medium setting. You can also set the brightness of dot...

    Finally getting a shot at an elephant with a bow!!

    I'm not a bowhunter but have been with a few clients who did what is also forgotten is that when that arrow enters the body and the broadhead is stuck in the vitals. With the animal running off and the movement of the body that blade keeps cutting causing more damage. A bullet will make the...

    Whisky appreciation

    @Michael70 it is very close to Talisker 10 but more Peaty and very smooth not so smokey but having had a 16 year Glenmorangie in camp last week with another friend I defintely would take the Peat Monster anytime over the Glenmorangie for my taste buds. I also hade a 12 year old Bowmore there...

    Is South Africa still safe to hunt?

    Safe no worries but why fly to Kimberly and then drive to Aliwal North. You save less than 300km/186 miles on road but flying time an airport time combined you will loose a day. Extra hassles checking out rifles checking in again and so on extra cost on airline tickets. OR Tambo to Aliwal...

    7X57 or 7mm-08 or 308

    16" barrels are very short why not 20" all the calibers you have mentioned do not have heavy recoil why make them louder and bring down the ballistics to marginal out of a 16" barrel. A well constructed premium bullet in 150gr weight would take on most plainsgame at 2500-2600fps Something like...

    Which South African animals to target

    Very sad as that would boost the population and more land owners to make space for them keeping them seperate from breeding with Blesbuck.

    Tourist killed by herd of elephants at Sirheni Bushveld Camp in Kruger

    I briefly read the 5 pages its tragic someone died. But here goes a theory it is all the Greens fault culling of elephants was stopped in 1994 before then you would be lucky and very happy to spot elephants when visiting Kruger park 7000 animals vs 34 000 plus. Now the camps are being kept...

    Hunting Ethics Of Taking Female Animals In Africa

    Took us 6 days two trips many miles before I finally connected with this old cow my first buffalo. They get very weary when being hunted by humans and large predators. Her skull is part of my trophies.

    Hunting Ethics of shooting Buffalo bull while he’s laying down

    It's a tricky shot if you are confident you can pull it off and sure he is on his own with no other buff behind him. Bear in mind that although they are flat on the ground the vitals are pushed upwards by the breatsbone so I would go more centre of mass than lower.

    Hunting Ethics Of Taking Female Animals In Africa

    Firstly a buffalo cow cannot be called a dagga boy!! Sure it can get dangerous and also not easy to identify an old dry cow and get a chance with so many eyes, noses and ears around but it's not a DAGGABOY! Secondly them bitches sure is more tasty than them bulls! :ROFLMAO: My fridge is...
