My best : Eland in Namibia

Help the conservation effort In this critical situation, encumbering the debate on the hunt with peremptory formulas of a city-dweller and satisfied, appears to be a risky gamble in the long term. Last February, a scientific study devoted to the effects of trophy hunting and published on One...

Private and inhabited reserves, like Philip's, there are nearly a hundred in Nambia. They testify to the qualities of this model where the fauna subsists while including men in protected lands. The black wildebeest that Erik hunted, for example, is classified as "Least Concern" by the IUCN and...

Self proclaimed sanctuary of so-called ethical hunting with Botswana, this country in southwest Africa is the only one on the continent where a hunter can (legally) obtain permits to hunt the famous "big five": Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhinoc & ros and Cape Buffalo. Such a project would require...

Thanks a lot for the job you've done !

3 pages to come ... have a good night ... it's 11pm here in France :ROFLMAO::whistle:

And then there is the "canned hunt". Sinister process where animals are raised in captivity, stripped of their wild nature, and released into enclosures to be slaughtered by lazy hunters wishing to free themselves from the investment, time, and especially the risk of hunting a real lion in full...

To ban or not to ban? “Whether to ban hunting is a stupid question,” resumed Erik. “What must be determined is what forms of hunting ... of which animals and under what conditions ... they should be fought or regulated ". Because anyone who works in the conservation of wildlife in Africa knows...

A $ 12,000 trip Like thousands of other hunters every year, Erik traveled to Namibia last April to exercise his passion. A trip he organized with two of his friends and for which he saved for a long time. "I only travel to hunt, the rest, that bothers me" he proclaims! Exceptionally, he accepted...

Thanks for Google tanslator ..... but I'm writing in french before, I'm not so good in english ....

Thanks for Google tanslator .....

The following of the paper... Slowly we follow in Hendrick's footsteps. Hands clasped behind his back and head lowered to the ground, he sinks deeper into the bush. The large stains of coagulated blood on the rocky ground succeed more and more scattered droplets, soiling a vegetation whitened...

Another idea with Koudou horns, I saw that in Jobourg and I built a pair for my trophy room

I'm in France, so I'll try to find the newspaper tomorrow and I'll post it here as soon as possible. ;)

Done ! I was a member of the National shooting Club of Versailles (near Paris) where the olympic shooting competition took place in 1900's, we had to move, closest from the Palace...

The smallest one wounded at first shot , the biggest shot in my shoes, in the eye, and the first one achieved, brain shot, .... with 7x64 federal NP 160gr ...3,30 & 3,70m

Bienvenue Christian ! J'ai chassé à Zelda il y a longtemps déjà Vous y êtes guide ?

The 7x64 is a very well known caliber in Europe, usually with 160gr (years ago I used Federal NP (y)) a go to anything in plain or mountain.

After a dozen of trips in Africa, Namibia x 3, SA x 2 and Burkina Faso, in this order : - Hight Fences free - Size of the area ( I don't want to hunt the same place each day ) - aviability of my game list in the same area ( I don't want 3 hours road drive a day ) - Total game list with my...

For me it's my Eland tasted in Namibia :

I'm very proud about this Oryx, the one you see is the second bullet when it was standing, the face was on the floor, the first one was between the shoulders facing .... 7RM Rosenthal Namibia, 175gr PMP SP, approx 150m ... 2004, my first trip !

I shot Degol in 9,3x62, the spitzer type 285gr at 840m/s (2755f/s)(not the round nose only for my 9,3x74R) and even on Roe Deer in driven hunts, I never got any failure even any meat dammage unless you touch big bones.

For me just a 8x68s in a mauser 66 action ...

And it commercialize pretty good hunting bullets in the most current calibers also

On mine, there is a 1,5-6x42 S&B and it's fine up to 250m (y)

If I could dream about a safari like this, it would be : - 7 RM - 175gr TBBC - scope 2,5-10 - 9,3x62 - 286gr Oryx - scope 1,5-6 - 500 Jef open sight for pleisure :rolleyes:

To stay in german calibers : 8x64S (0.324) Brenneke (1912)

You're right, that's why I choose this way, I prefer to work on a few knives and to take time to do the best I can to deliver a beautiful and practical tool.

I'm not in the forging process, otherones are doing so well ! A best friend of mine does my blades from the damascus he forged. He worked +40 years in the metallurgic industrie as an engineer. I began 6 years ago for my own use, and now I sell 10 to 12 pieces a year for friends.

From your last picture to a finished handle, I should say 4 to 6 hours for a very hard wood, but it's my hobby so I don't care about time.

This one is mine and the handle was only hand made before polishing ... A long, long time with sand paper :cool:

Good job, if this shape of handle can help, it's very comfort :

Here is the blade of the beautiful Iron Wood :

I'm from France and it's a french made blade (y) :LOL: :LOL: This one is today's work, with Santos Rose Wood :

Thanks for the kind words ! Working wood too fast is not the best way to make a good job ;) An otherone I made lately for a friend : '][/URL]

One of the most beautiful one I have worked with : Desert Iron Wood from .... Arizona
