That is a very generous offer! What do you think the odds of bagging all animals are? Also are your areas set up for bowhunting? If so are there specific bowhunting only areas? Thanks again

Very nice! What is the success rate sitting minerals? Is it higher tracking with dogs? Would love to be the one sending the arrow!

Were you referring to Sheep or caribou at the $30k? I know Dall’s sheep in NWT is now around $55k and booked out years!

Absolutely need to talk with Karsten Lings I had a great hunt there as have many other bowhunters. Fairly priced as well. May be hard to get a hold of him at times. There is a US contact that does a lot of bookings for him, but I don’t have that info handy. I booked directly with them...

Yeah, crazy for a caribou! Full price are close to $30k for everything added in. Not to mention the travel costs to get there

Have you seen any Mt Caribou cancellation hunts? What’s the going price for them now?

Congrats on your Leopard but more importantly- CONGRATS on your FIRST Post on AHF !!! :):)

Seems like a great place to set up Bowhunting trips! I know many US bowhunters would jump at the chance. Would avoid a lot of political issues with firearms

Looks like Japan has a bear problem and their “Hunters” don’t want to deal with it. Strange if you ask me! They need to open it up to real Hunters! https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c19kvevezlwo

I know the member mrpoindexter has mentioned he has many times and absolutely recommends it . You can look him up. The comparison is consider it as part of your taxidermy, or even instead of expensive taxidermy and shipping costs, especially for non-importable animals. I wish I would have had...

I have a SS Ruger in a “granite” color stock. Can get pictures after work

The 165 going 2700 fps based on it’s ballistics will still be going 1840 fps at 400 yds. So as long as you don’t shoot something past that range it should be fine. (The LRX bullets claim 1600 fps for adequate expansion)

What’s your target species this trip?

You can easily call Barnes and they will confirm as mentioned that the .30 cal 165 was made for magnum speeds while the newer 168 ttsx (was the precursor to the LRX line) was designed to expand at lower velocity- more inline with ‘06 and ‘08 speeds. That said I like 150s and even 125s in the...

Ah, forgot to mention a 7x57 Mauser! Now that is another historic cartridge for sure. If a main goal was cheaper ammo to practice then consider reloading. That way you can get the cool kids cartridges and not worry about finding loaded ammo and price!

Based on my experience with the wonderful 9,3x 62 I would see no need for a 30-06 or 300 win mag at all. I would definitely look at something smaller than 30 cal to get a wider difference in barrels- I would look at 280 rem/284 win or 270 win if you want a bit more versatility. As mentioned a...

I would take some 6.5 WSM just to have headstamped correct brass. 375 Ruger is always hard to find new 416 Ruger is not even on his list? 450/400” 3” for when I decided to buy one!

Exciting! What Caliber?

There was a post on here AHF from another hunter who successfully bagged a leopard with his bow using Mafuta. That trip they got 2 and saw other animals as well- elephant, buffalo. The price was really low- half of normal and everything was paid by trophy fee. Day rates up front. Too good to...

I can 100% say Leloma and Phillip Mafuta is a sham and a fraud. I went there last year and nothing was as stated. We did shoot a couple community zebra, community female hippo. Mafuta is a big talker, so is his brother. Everyone we ran into did not want to work with him as he never pays...

If I recall there was a company VA silent arsenal that was sort of importing Bertram for their WSM wildcat rifles. In my experience they were very cocky/stuck up on themselves and very poor customer service. Came into the long range shooting scene and forums and quickly wore out their welcome...

Already Double Dipping! Did you get your VA benefits and disability ratings? For my Dad (retired Air Force Reserve, pilot in Vietnam) his monthly VA benefits pay as much as his monthly retirement check! Also the nice thing IMO is that you are guaranteed money from all those for the rest of...

That’s interesting. Their website doesn’t say that… and last I emailed them a few months ago they said they were “waiting for a shipment” that they had no idea when it would come :) I was trying to get some 6.5 WSM head stamped brass just to have. I did order the 270 wsm from you and will...

I see there is a Bertram-USA importer already. Are you still be able to get some if they have it?

You have not commented on 450/400. 3”…. Is it really impossible to obtain? ( other than loaded ammo)

If price is not a problem then you can definitely do it whenever you want. As you know it is always better to bowhunt with an experienced PH that has had success with bowhunters. It’s always worth the extra $ to get a good area with many opportunities and experienced outfit to up your odds of...

that’s the only option direct from Anchorage- worth it for sure since other wise it becomes annoying with so many layovers. I’ve seen past info saying the flight is operated by Discover airlines which was linked to Lufthansa? No personal experience though

I am flying direct ANC- Frankfurt on Condor booked through Alaska airlines. It’s a long layover all day then Lufthansa direct to Windhoek. Same on the return. Since they are booked separately I am not sure I can check luggage all the way through? I guess I need to decide if it’s worth...

I flew through Doha last year and no permit was required. Was checked all the way through to Harare. Interesting to find out about Frankfurt- I have a stop there this year to change airlines and most likely will not be able to check all the way through to Windhoek. Second flight will be on...

What’s thw What’s the word on 450/400 3” ? I don’t see it listed on your website?

I just bought some Norma 270 wsm today :)

I just luckily found some new 375 Inch Ruger brass at a random farm auction and won it- with fees and shipping it came out to a similar price you are seeing. I did just sell some once fired for a good deal to another AHF member pending funds…. Keep looking, it’s still around. My LGS has once...

If they could only get rid of the o ring…. I hate mechanical Broadhead that requires a ring, band, clip etc. A few like rage no-collar, or grim reaper spring loaded have figured it out

Not sure on how to change the extraction and “bolt” face on a #1 but a re-bore or a new barrel on this could be a good project. For the price it would allow some wiggle room I need someone to buy it so I’m not tempted!

Not sure if you meant 450/400? Also not sure on the barrel either but saw this-

I could use some 270 wsm brass (for my 6.5 wsm) how does one go about pre order? Waitlist? Also where do we find prices?

Yes I said in my original post I had already looked there

Yes I see the new Chapuis Elan 450/300 for $12,999 (with a lifetime guarantee ) And other for more than that… I Am hoping to get in the 10k range to see how it goes before possibly doubling that for something finer :) In my experience you save your money up front, when you buy something not...

Has any seen any good deals on a 450/400 3” double rifle for sale? Due to my recoil aversion (I am a bow hunter and they don’t kick!). I think I would like to try out a 450/400 as an entry (drug) into Double rifles. (I know a new Chapuis at Champlin Firearms is available) Based on the...

So do I

Would a 450/400 be better than a 375 Ruger with a 300 or a 350 gr bullet?

I would love to go as well but time is not on my side! If it’s available in the future I will definitely go. On a side note what is your opinion of using a 375 Ruger on Ele? Brain shot only or can a body shot work?

You need to go to a bow shop or two and shoot everything they have. Speed doesn’t really matter, AT ALL for whitetails out of a tree stand! Accuracy (forgiveness) always trumps everything else. You need to find the most comfortable bow for you. One you don’t have to fight. One that shoots...

Can you shoot 2 cows on the hunt? If so what would the cost be?

I am going last minute to Namibia through Frankfurt. I have spoken to a travel agency (Jennifer) but due to the quick flight and budget deals have booked 2 itineraries - one on Condor (discover) through Alaska Airlines Direct ANC-FRA. Then I will have a 6+ hr layover and fly direct on Lufthansa...
