And in parts of the US.... Creepy things.

So sorry about the lost opportunity on the Pieter's Duiker. Great hunt though! Good luck tonight!

Yea both NEED to be full mounted;)

In 10 African hunts I cannot recall ever losing my ammo. However that doesn't mean having a contingency plan isn't a good idea. I'd much rather buy ammo accross the counter for my gun than use a random PH rental gun.... and whatever ammo he has.

If not a 30-06, 300 win mag would be much better than the other two. Dressed up properly with fine walnut and blued steel. Shows some class;) Like Tag or similar olive shirts rather than camo. Don't screw up your photos with some plastic painted up gun.

It's always a good day to blame Bob ;)

Attitude. And economics/greed.

So what is wrong with it?

No idea if they still do it. But it used to be you could call customer service at Ruger and sendvin your 1 inch rings to trade for 30mm ones;)

I have been too busy the past couple years to follow every report on here but I'm following this one with baited breath! Please keep them coming including the homeward journey;)

I've only shot buffalo, rhino, and giraffe with my 505 Gibbs. I was shooting about between 5 and 15 rounds at the ranger with them back when I was hunting with them. Took a 470 NE double and a 450 NE no.2 3.5 inche lately. Hunting i prefer the 525 grain TSX or flat point bronze bullets. Moving...

We haven't stayed there yet but Afton House now has a place in Cape Town. We'll likely try it next time we are there.

In case anyone doesn't know, that scope on a low setting with the illumination on functions like a red dot, just bigger and heavier but also has the flexibility of magnification. In fact if you shoot both eyes open with your dominant eye on the scope at 1 or 1.5x, you could pack mud in the...

Great scope for that price. I'm surprised it's not sold already..

Those Tonka trucks are worth money!

Outstanding! The old saying about figuring out how to make money doing something you enjoy and you'll never have to "work" another day in your life:) Now that is not all of the story, in many cases (but not all) this means being entrepreneurial. And let's face it, a very small percentage of...

Congratulations Bruce what an awesome trip so far! Very cool to be able to concentrate so much time on the other really cool animals available. Just remember you have all the overhead costs covered already. Any extra animals you take now are only a little bit of variable cost added;) Kind of...

I believe i have some of that ammo. If I recall correctly it didn't regulate as good as Federal nor Hornady in my rifle. Edit, took a quick look and didn't find it right off.

I bought a gun from this seller last October and all went well. Buy with Confidence.

You might try posting this under reloading also? Not sure if it would help but it may broaden the number of people seeing it.

Not specific to A Frames but there is load data for 570 grain SPRN bullets in the Shooting the British Double Rifle books.

Interesting string of differing ideas here already. Could prove to become more interesting as it grows legs;)

I do know the book. A fellow i employed as a translator years ago gave it to me and accused me of being that;) I'm glad you are taking the lessons and making your own way. Pisses me off to no end when I see the poor little rich kids whining about whatever they perceive as their problems as...

Do you have the Ag Exemption (or Wildlife Exemption) like Texas does? With the crazy high RE taxes in Texas, qualifying for the exemption is vital.

Just kidding and messing with you;) Although the way you shot that target you could probably shoot a smelt:)

That doesn't seem too bad, without double checking. After my ocean freight experience, I would do air. Those crocks at the docks added $2000 just because they could. Which when I complained was the basic answer I got. Then wanted over $4000 inland freight.... which fortunately I called a...

Yes! Stop by the shops that sell what you are looking for while traveling to your hunt in Africa or during the side trips before and after. Alternatively Afton House has some reasonably priced stuff in their curio shop. With advance notice I'd bet they would arrange to have specific items...

I'll take them. PM following.

And he is with one if the most experienced and well known PH's in the Forest region.

I really don't think there is any better ammo than this commercially available. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I thought I would ever seriously hunt with one of my 458 Lott rifles:) Great deal I hope it sells soon before I break down and buy more ammo I don't need;)

Just watch some of Steve Hornady's videos. At times he seems like a great guy. But when he talks about introducing the DGX Bonded he outright says there was no need for it. Pure arrogance when it comes to his products... they have been perfect all along so why change anything? I took it on...

Sounds like I'm going to need to get more intentional!

Good luck Bruce, hope you get that one;)

Welcome!!! What part of the Hill Country are you referring to? It's a big beautiful area;) We are near Bandera. Hope you pull together an African Safari soon! If you need any more Ruger RSM or Express rifles, let me know.

Hello Kevin, we now live in rural Bandera, just had lunch at Popo's by Boerne the other day:) And unfortunate as it may be too our check book, my wife's favorite furniture store is Calamity Jane's in Boerne;)

Please correct if wrong, but there will be additional cost for bait? Does it still work to add buffalo to this hunt or is one best off to forgo that and concentrate on the leopard? Another thing I had come up that i didn't realize going in.... my hunt was in a tsetse fly area so the dogs...

That sounds like one heck if a great deal for a leopard hunt with dogs! The best way to take charge and make it a proactive hunt rather than being relegated to only being able to react to what the cat does;) For a hunter who likes to be active and busy doing things rather than sitting in a...

The PH we had in Tanzania needs to replace the stock on his Ruger M77 Matk II, RSM in 458 Lott. He had broken his original when he literally batted away a wounded leopard that jumped out of the bushes at him. I gave him a replacement I had bought from Numerick some years earlier. Well he...

I actually held a Winchester M21 in 22 LR. It was priced something like $20,000? Been a few years.... may have been more? I remember being shocked;)

Wow great to hear you are making it back so soon! Your gear and travel all sounds about perfect:) Some reports are that Kuiu rips to easily in the thorns so let us know how your experience goes. I love the Kuiu pants I have with the zip open vents and light weight built in knee pads. Both...

Am i reading this to mean they paid the license fee ahead of time, and if they failed to take the animal then a later hunter can use that paid for license to take that species and only need to pay the trophy fee? If that is how it works, that could indeed be an incentive to hunt late in the...

I also really enjoy hunting them. As well as Liechtenstein hartebeest, which we don't have mounted yet.

I tend to switch focus pretty quickly when opportunities arrise. My finger tends to error on the pull the trigger side and figure it out later;)

Ok that's not true. Safe enough, absolutely. But where is really totally safe anymore? Should people be paranoid or worry about going to RSA? No. Should they stay aware of surroundings, keep their head on a swivel, be as prepared as they can, ask about concerns and seek local information...

Steve you are absolutely correct. When @Just Gina and I were looking for a house outside of the Communist Dictatorship of Minnesota, she would do a check on the areas we were considering and it was astonishing how many convicted sex offenders and murderers are living in some small towns.

I'm following as well! I still need Suni, Oribi, Blue Duiker and Dik Dik.
