As some of you might know, I like in the UK. I farm and undertake some property management and valuation work. Since the last election here, we have endured a daily assault on farming. We now have 20% inheritance tax on farmland, all subsidies and environmental grants removed and face a tax on...

We are currently planning new cattle housing or more likely straw yards to replace 1950's buildings that have reached the end of their life. Our winters aren't that bad, it is typically around 40 degrees fahrenheit, with around 3-4 weeks of 17-32 and every couple of years, it gets down to 5...

A friend has booked a 2:1 hunt in Namibia in 2025 and his hunting partner now looks like he will have to drop out, so he has asked me about going. It looks absolutely fantastic, all walk and stalk in the Erongo hills. No vehicle access, so everything has to be carried from what he has said...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a free range (or large sustainable fenced) eland tracking hunt? I imagine that Namibia is probably the easiest and most cost effective location and I am very happy with a basic tent and basic food. I have discussed this with a PH, unfortunately he can...

I have been meaning to write this for some time and have finally got around to putting something in writing. After hunting in Mozambique in 2022, I was totally hooked and after some internet searching for a place that offered ethical fair chase hunting, mainly on foot, I found Kambaku. I...

Is anyone here using a KKC stock on a .375 H & H rifle? If so, how does it hold up to the recoil? I am looking at one for my Blaser R8, as the standard professional stock does not fit at all without a lot of shuffling about.

For the last 10 years or so, I have had a 30-06 and a .17 Hornet. Foolishly, I sold my Heym 30-06 to get what looked like a very smart customised Mauser action 30-06. I have no end of trouble with it and have sent it away to a gunsmith who specualises in Mauser Actioned rifles. He called...

Where I live there is currently very little hunting / shooting on a Sunday (many types are illegal on a Sunday), although I have good friends in France and Ireland (both probably more religiously observant than the UK) who tell me Sunday is the main day for hunting. I have asked the PH not to...

My rifles got a bit of a battering on the plane last year which had lead me to think would I be better removing my scope and putting it in hand luggage for transport (if it is in QD mounts)? Does anyone do this?

Has anyone on here built a .375 Ruger on a Mausingfield action? I imagine it is too short for a 375 H & H. If so, which magazine did you use? I would ideally like a switch barrel .222, 30-06 and 375 on the same action using a floorplate magazine but I don't know how feasible this would be? I...

I have purchased some DEET based insect repellent, having used Avon So Soft before (which was absolutely fine in the UK). I have been warned not to use DEET with nylon or plastic based watch straps or plastic sunglasses. What do you use? My watch straps are either nylon (I think) NATO type or...

Hello everyone. I live in the UK and have been looking at this forum for a while. Am planning my first trip to Mozambique this year.
