Craig was amazing to work with. The last shipment I got from him was in 21 but it wasn’t too bad. Less then others I have used in SA and far better then Argentina. I will see if I can get some picks to load if you care to see euro mounts.

All the positive endorsements for the Tag Heuer Aquaracers is surprising. I blew through two Aquaracer 200 Professional series somewhere around 2010. If you’re looking for a rugged watch built for work I would recommend against the Tag. I don’t know what kind of Maritime work you’re into but it...

375 H&H with 300 grain TSX worked well on a bison @ 200 yards. Sub zero temps on the South Dakota plains last January. The 375 performed much better then I did in snow shoes. As stated earlier it eliminated the need for tracking.

I used them in 2021. Their work was excellent, they delivered earlier than expected and their prices were fair. Craig had excellent ideas and walked me through multiple options. I hope to use them again.

I had the inbound flight from Doha at 4AM last year and the year before. Henry and his team from @riflepermits.com was there to meet us and we were out in less then 10 minutes with two of us. The year before I did it alone and it took more than an hour and lunch money for a few SAP officers...

The rifle arrived today and is in better than expected condition. The FFL said it was one of the cleanest used rifles he has seen in a long time and offered to buy it from me when I’m ready to sell. CM McKenzie was an excellent seller and super easy to work with. I would buy with absolute...

I am sorry for your loss. You and your mother will be in our prayers tonight. I know it doesn’t help the pain but knowing your pops was loaded for bear the day before he moved on speaks a great deal of the life he must lived. He sounds like a man to admire and a man that will certainly be...

I second putters97127 opinion. You need a young strong back to go with you. You have wisdom and mentorship to share. He has (hopefully) a strong back and willingness to learn. You could invent something that links the two to gather.

Scope arrived yesterday in excellent condition. Thank you @Rickmt

After reading the reviews above, I imagine folks will be waiting in line to buy it [emoji15]. However, Simi Valley is right close to me and if an AH Member would like,and it’s an option, I am happy to run over there. I’m not sure what good that is for anyone, but I figured since it was close, I...

Congrats and thank you for sharing this epic adventure with us.

Congrats to both of you and may a life time of epic adventure lay before you.

Great video, thank you for sharing.

As a follow up to my post last night. I sent the seller a request for a few very specific photos and the FFL they would prefer to use. They responded with one pic that I did not request and said they would get me the rest. This evening I received a notice from Gun’s America that GUNUIOP778...

Question for you guys with a history of buying guns online. How do you root out a fraudulent seller? The seller of this rifle has no confirmed sales, at least that I can find and only excepts checks and money orders. After I posted this question I researched past post about fraudulent seller...

Welcome D, I heard there was another in NorCal but I was skeptical at best. You will find the greatest collection of hunters, outdoorsmen (women), professional hunters and guides from around the world always willing to help each other out. Start the planning and research phase as early as...

A couple things to consider. As @mdwest said the Verizon option at 10$ a day works great. Not all plans have an international expansion option. The newest generation iPhone offers a dual SIMs card so you can buy a prepaid SIMs card at most international airports and skip the international...

@F. Vaccaro Welcome to AH. The wealth of knowledge and experience shared on this site is unreal. I have only been been to Africa on a couple safaris so I’m certainly not an expert, but compared to SW Montana in the winter, parts of South Africa will no problem at all for you.

Was in Doha last month at 0300 and all shops seemed open. There is a big duty free shop loaded with a different alcohols, cigarette and cigars. It was 50yards off the right foot of a giant stuffed bear. We had no issues carrying it on the plane from Doha to JNB. We were told to keep it in...

@Rare Breed Maybe you don’t have to sign one when you work through an agent. We had six hunters from Utah on our same flight that booked with Lori. One of the six had issues but that was with US Customs and Lori quickly cleared it up for him. I reached out to Lori last week about assisting...

We had to show proof of negative test when we checked in stateside, going through customs in RSA, checking back in at JNB, boarding at JNB,boarding second flight at Doha and was told to have it ready at US customs upon return but did not have to show it. Having multiple printed copies made it...

Glad to see you guys had a great trip and happy to see your son had a successful Hunt. How did the .338 do?

I just returned from the same trip. Last minute deal with Umngane Safari in the Limpopo region and had two weeks to plan. Here are a couple things we encountered or witnessed with other hunters that might help the group. 1. It wasn‘t nearly as difficult as I had planned. 2. Getting guns...

@M McDindi I just completed the same forms and the same process (five separate calls to customer service) for a trip leaving Thursday, 4 hours in DOH and then on to JNB. I will let you know how it goes. I believe all the lounges except one in DOH are closed and all guest are using the same...

@autofire If all goes as planned, I will be departing from LAX on Thursday for six days of PG hunting in the Limpopo region. When we get back or sooner if able, I will report on the the rapid 3-5 hour PCR test being offered at LAX(and many other airports) the PCR test in RSA and Qatar Airways...

You have come to the right place for an education on Africa. The wealth of knowledge and experience on this sight is unreal.

I'm sure I am a day late and a dollar short but if the deal on the .416 falls through let me know and I will buy it.

Sent private message.

I hope to have a great report to give.

I haven't settled on using my own or renting. The one and only time I brought rifles into SA I had to give lunch money to three SAP officers before ever getting my guns in to the truck. I need to talk with the outfitter and see what they offer and recommend. Any words of wisdom? My wife is...

Primary goal is Cape Buffalo with Marromeu Safaris in Countada 10.

Hello to all of you, I have been reading your post and visiting this web site for a number of years and have found the info here fantastic, so I figured I would log in and join the conversation. I have just booked a hunt to Mozambique and have far more questions then answers and figured I have...

Welcome to AH, I just created an account too. We dont seem to have an abundance of local knowledge here in So Cal to pull from. I used this site as a reference for my first safari to SA and found a ton of very useful information. It cuts all the false advertising and unknown BS you can find...
