    Elaphant charge

    I have that one recorded on my DVR, I must have watched it a thousand times on the 50" plasma screen. I think my 5 year old could recite the narration word for word if i turned the sound off. Ivan is such a professional, to say the first shot was not quite right when it was about a foot off...

    To smoke or not to smoke

    Fritz, Great write-up! I have been on both sides of the fence on this. Years ago I smoked and smoked while hunting, I didn't really have a good understanding of how animals reacted to scents back then so any successes were attributed to mainly luck. As an ex-smoker I can tell you the most...

    I just returned from SA Limpopo area, 3rd safari with Ingogo Safaries. Never had a thought about safety. If there was a risk issue I wouldn't have taken wife and 11 year old daughter. Your outfitter and PH, if reputable, will keep you out of harms way, it's thier job. They won't be taking you...

    I bought the .375 Ruger hawkeye African. Love it, it's now my favorite rifle. I put a 1.75-5 scope on it and have about $1,000 USD in it total. The 375 ruger will slightly out perform the H&H with factory loads. All look like good choices but i'm not sure if the Sako is controlled round feed. I...

    338 Winchester Magnum

    338 WIN MAG The 338 WM is a great cartridge! That was my heavy gun on my first plains game hunt. Mine is a Ruger allweather stainless. that thing seems to shoot tighter groups the hotter you load it. I was shooting a 225 grain at speeds that I don't want to publish. After dropping several...
