Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any experience importing hunting rifles into the US. Who did they use, cost, experience, lessons learned... Thank you,
Jim
I just got back from South Africa on United and I was very happy with everything. Now my credit card got me two United Lounge passes which help with the layovers.
Many great outfits are mentioned here for hunting. The question is do you want to do nonhunting experiences. My perception is that there are more non-hunting things to do around Limpopo than the eastern Cape. The eastern cape shooting distances will be greater than Limpopo. Limpopo is...
In the last month or two SCi Magazine had an article about hunting the tiny ten from Craig Boddington. I saw that article as a sign that I need to hunt them :)
Everyone, thanks for posting on this thread. I have recently decided to go after the tiny 10 in the next year or two. In the past, I have only been interested in the larger animals. I have tried for Blue Duiker twice in Zambia but have been unsuccessful. IT was fun calling them in.
My understanding is that they are also found in Zambia. I talked with Charlie Harvey and he has talked to SCI about a separate category. They will consider the Johnson's Impala if someone can provide and go to the expense of having DNA testing done. My understanding is that they are reddish...
I am one to tip the PH for exceptional service or letting me shoot another animal for free..
Interestingly I asked a dozen of my friends who are farmers and small business people who have hunted in Africa and their results were inverse of the poll. The vast majority in the poll said always...

Yes, I just did it a few months ago. I declared it and no problems.
Also Stuart from tallyho was telling me about a repeat hunter who brings his previous years trophies back the following year as excess baggage. Once again these are finished trophies not in the "wet." Sounds like a good way...
A beautiful rifle in a great caliber :) To follow up with @degoins comment.I would email Kynoch with the ammo serial numbers and they will tell you how old the ammo is. I had boxes that looked almost brand new and they were 60 years old.
My buddy and I took cow bulls with TallyHo back in August of this year. We had a great time. The difference between a bull and a cow is a lot of other trophy fees for me:) Here is a summary of our hunt...
I posted this poll on another forum and I was wondering if I would get different answers on this forum. I ask if you have already completed the poll/survey on the other forum that you refrain from completing this poll. I should also ask outfitters, and PH's not to respond to the poll but free...
I thought it would be easier to hunt a trophy Bull or I saw more bulls than cows. I am sure if I was hunting Bulls all I would see are cows :)
I took one impala with 140 gr accubonds. I shot another dozen animals in the Eastern Cape the following week with the 6.5 x 55 and I thought it was...
