I'm just going to take a stab in the dark here and guessing that at that cost, if not successful the Outfitter would add some days;) I for one would not endure the cost and misery of that flight and only stay those few days... I suspect a client booking this would either add on some other...

Ok, what does the guide cost and how do you arrange that?

Good post for such an old Crumudgen ;) Sounds like you are going to need a new pickup in about 10 years so better start planning on it:) So sorry about the Genetic issues in your family.... we are all stuck with what we've got in that department... unless some medical miracle comes along...

Congratulations on grabbing that fantastic deal!

Yea we have redundancy built in with Jr Partners. I still reserve signing any larger loans. And WhatsApp works most places. Outfitters are even starting to carry Starlink with them. I've done several trips of a month to 5 weeks and really hate going to Africa for less than 3 as the flights are...

Thank God it's non malignant. Praying for you Steve.

This is something I agree with;) However I'd take it further. There is a huge difference between fun, satisfaction, a feeling of accomplishment. Contentment. In fact I might argue that most of the people I've met who are focused on having fun, are the least content and never satisfied for...

@steve white did you want one of these books?

I've got one already;)

The seller and came to deal so... He's absolutely correct these are worth more than the standard Ruger African produced in unlimited numbers.

Not sure, I commissioned them through Richard of Afton House and AHG Shipping.

So July 25th is Freedom Day?!

Oh wow, way to young. Prayers sent.

There you go Ladies and Gentlemen! Grab your Rigby's without Tarriffs and from a guy who offers stellar service;)

Darn, just saw this ad. I'd have taken all. What's left? Two full boxes or 31 cartridges?

Jason what do you have left in stock? Any pre-tarriff?

I was told you need to kill 70% of the hogs in the area per year just to keep the numbers stable.

If you want it for the mount, do a full mount to do it justice. I enjoyed hunting Black Wildebeest and Red Hartebeest more than Bontebok and Blesbuck. Although the second Blesbuck hunt I was on became a real challenge as it became a last minute, late day add on with an inexperienced "PH" who...

I dropped that off at registration.

Ok dropped that off at Registration

I have my Grandfather's M94 in 32 Winchester Special. Shot my first few whitetails with it when I was a teenager. Open sighted of course.

Great seeing old friends and meeting new ones tonight:) Someone left their 4 day pass at the dinner tonight and I was designated to take it because nobody else who was still there could say for sure they are attending tomorrow. I don't want to publicly post the name but if you are that person...

Someone left their 4 day pass at the dinner tonight and I was designated to take it because nobody else who was still there could say for sure they are attending tomorrow. I don't want to publicly post the name but if you are that person, please message me so I can get it to you in the morning;)

Does anyone know if there is someplace to park my Ram 3500 dually with crew cab and 8' box? Or do I just need to Uber over to SCI?

Well of course ours are a set. A shared Safari set. They are fit good for @Just Gina and i can shoot them well also. Bolt guns are pretty easy for us to share;) 275 Rigby and 416 Rigby... sequential numbers that make up both our birthdays. But you can buy individual rifles. Apparently not as...

Wow, no children, nieces or nephews to pass that too?

I'm taking it if we can work out ftf.

He's not buying, only sniffing.....

Only the stuff that is all stretched out from being tried on and found to be 20 sizes too small..... here's the Canadian version for you.

Well yea! Nashville is a fun town and SCI puts on a great show.

I hunted just South of there in April and had a fire in in the little heater stove at night. And got miserably hot mid day. You don't need 4 days worth of clothes, two is enough. In 10 huntsvin Africa I'venever had them not at least try to do laundry every day. In Zimbabwe there was 4 days of...

Have they got high tech low reliability emissions systems on them? Do they burn DEF? Modern Diesel trucks in the US are not reliable enough to take way out into the bush. Unless you delete all that crap off. But then the Warrenty is voided. Now an older Diesel without DEF and without a...

Maybe next time;) Hahaha

Yea we bought during that dip in April:) Just wish I had listened to my gut and bought 10 times as much rather than listen to my Fiduciary.... If more people, especially younger ones, learned more and studied more History i firmly believe the World would be a better place. I just hope Trump...

And here I thought you were going to say a share of Tesla;)

Well, it's a nice rifle with a nice peep sight that actuallyfits me, so far I love the trigger. The side mount and rings look good and I have a few scopes on hand to try including some older ones. So I think I'll just see how it comes together but first I'm going to shoot it with the peep:)...

Not all that shocking.... I think they buy for around 55% and try to sell. If they underpriced it sells quickly and makes the profit they had hoped for. If it doesn't they mark it down 10%. Then another 10%, etc. If they buy at 55% and mark it down 4 times they still make 15%. A basic of...

A guide warthog will likely beca tougher hunt than the buffalo;)

~ $2000 maybe $2200. Probably what the dead owner told his wife he paid for it;)

First talk to your PH and ask for details. The EC is a huge place with a very wide variety of environments. On my first hunt, which was in several parts of the EC, we were always watching for a good wart hog but first off it was not a good time of year. It was still hot so the big boars were...

Yup, completely missed that ;)

Or I could use these rings that came with;)

Bob to see the photos, you're going to need to do the following; 1. Go out and just randomly buy some flowers. 2. Present the flowrs to Judy and ask her out for a nice dinner and some dancing. 2. Bring her home to finish a romantic evening followed by a good night's sleep. Then get up tomorrow...

I've discussed mine several times and placed. Pics posted including details. To summit. Very reasonable cost and great quality. TCI in Bulawayo did them.

We finally picked up this rifle the other day. It was at our FFL for a while but we had to get there and pick up two other rifles we were expecting;) In any case, the rifle is way better than we expected. I thought the stock would be almost needing to be refinished but we love it as is! A few...

That had to taken even more mental fortitude than physical. I hope the people around that kid will recognize the real potential he has. Which is achievement in anything he goes after. With the right mentoring that kid can go far;)

Well, front feet from 3;) If you listen to the Africans they kinda did.... Not that they had any steam left by then ..... The biggest was my father in laws and he ran out of ammo so the PH was telling me to shoot. The buffalo wanted to get us but was stumbling pretty badly and about 20 yards...

Few others. My replica tusks on hand carved wooden bases from Zimbabwe The real Tusks hanging in Afton Guest House. A wine barrel base. A zebra ottoman or puff, not mine but a relatives. Poachers gin traps from Mozambique. Elephant feet table and stool.

In addition to the buffalo front feet book ends from our 2024 buffalo. We had chairs and a duffle made from the hides.

@Just Gina had a window seat made out of her giraffe backskin. We had a foft furniture tan done... it and several other curios are being shipped with our taxidermy this month so we haven't touched any of this yet.
