My then girlfriend, now my wife, went in half for a pair of 10x42 SLC's for my first bear hunt in AK in 1997. 31 years later with foggy lenses and appropriately beat up exterior I sent them back to Swarovski after explaining the situation to a Swarovski rep. in Rhode Island. 1-2 months later I...

I never wear jewelry when traveling I'm not prepared to lose. Old habit I learned in the Navy while traveling on WestPac. Too many thieves who would sooner cut your finger off!

It's nice to see this post helping others as well. We are so fortunate to have this wealth of information to benefit AfricaHunting.com members. THIS is a wonderful web site! Thankfully Yours, Herb Johnson

Thank you all for your priceless experience, pictures and suggestions! Now my wife and I will approach this adventure armed with knowledge! After our 3 days at Vic Falls touring, we will return home. Should be a trip of a lifetime!

Hadn't considered that! Thanks!

Many of you have experienced Victoria Falls and all it has to offer. My wife and I will be going there in May after a 10-day Cape Buffalo hunt. Your input as to what to do and see at Victoria Fall in the 3-4 days we've allotted before we return home would be priceless. Thank you for any tips...

Spike...absolutely!! Best advice of all. Shot angles and placement are just good to know.

Merry Christmas to all and to all, good night! May 2025 be good hunting and many fine memories. Shoot straight and fill your freezers my friends! Sincerely, Herb Johnson

Hunting Buff in April/May with JPH Pro Hunt and they recommend Bullseye Taxidermy. I am interested in your experience with Bullseye. Thanks!

Looks great! You might consider outlining outside edges of Africa shape in off white to match color of skull as closely as you can, Or not. C:

Good suggestion from a world of experience. Thank you ALL for your input. Safari!!

Hunting close to a major river so water always available. Thanks for the tips H!

Thank you all for your input. Leaving next year for a 10 day hunt for Cape Buffalo and 2 warthogs. Extra time is a real possibility and now my options are limitless! Cheers!

A well-earned congratulations! A fine bull!

Thanks for the offer! Another time if the opportunity presents itself. HJ

Your introduction attention-getting! As was aforementioned, the rifle outstanding! May your adventure be just that! Shoot straight! Bon Voyage!

MarkB...sorry to hear that. You certainly tried and it seems so did they. Impossible to fit everyone perfectly UNLESS you custom-fit. God made each one of us unique!

So your covered either way. Good to know. Thanks!

I contacted a JG representative online. He replied the next day. I told him I wore double sole Russell Moccasin's in size 9 1/2 D. They fit perfectly. I asked him with this information what size JG should I order. He said go with size 9 D. JG are wide as previously stated in this thread. Any...

Hi JVW! Thanks for the post. Getting ready to pull the trigger on a pair of Jim Green's! Cheers! Herb Johnson

Trip to S.A. for long anticipated Dangerous Game hunt April of 2025 fast approaching. I know one of you can suggest hearing protection that's comfortable, convenient and begs to be used. You know what I mean. That ringing in my ears doesn't want to get any worse. All suggestions welcome and...

Life is an adventure! You're living it with outstanding stories to tell you'll never regret. My stroke in 2020 and subsequent full recovery taught me this. Life is an adventure...live it! And you did and will continue to I'm sure. Great detailed story and pictures! Thank you very much...

Hey Brod! Congratulations! A wonderfully written and photographed hunt! Another epic hunt with MG Hunting.com! I hunted with Rocket and Pedro last year and left with adventures to last a lifetime! They're the BEST!

It seems God's ears will be ringing with prayers for Michael! Goodonya AfricaHunting.com! My prayers are for a speedy and complete recovery as well. Hunt on Michael!

After extensive research in the 90's, I purchased a 340 Wtherby Magnum in the Mark V Euro. Had Answer Products strip it down, cryogenically treat the 26" barrel and restock it in a synthetic, After installing a muzzle brake and a special recoil pad, this rifle not only had the recoil of a 270...

I agree with Inline6. Try to control your mind from buying new gear you don't need or will only use in Africa. Save that money for paying additional trophy fees for other animals you couldn't resist hunting, ie..." a Kudu". You , however, won't regret shooting a Kudu on this trip ever! Have a...

Rocket! As I work in my office, I look at my 375-pound Wild Russian Boar mount and my 48-inch-wide Water Buffalo shoulder mount and savor the adrenaline filled days and night of adventure with MG Hunting! I think.... don't forget the write-up on AfricaHunting.com. Rocket...I won't. I will...

Would appreciate any insight into JPH and his history and reputation. Your insight very much appreciated.

A pleasure to have such an audience to help me prep for our upcoming Adventure! If there is a particular tour operator, you'd recommend, please do. +Thank you ALL for your input! Cheers! Herb

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I have a year to sort it all out. I decided to start early this time! All further suggestions appreciated as well. No better audience with such vetted, extensive experience than AH.com!

I am planning a Cape Buffalo hunt for next spring. My wife a patient observer and very excited for me but...would like to end this trip to Africa with a tour of Victoria Falls. 3 days roughly if that is sufficient. Would any of you suggest one tour operator over another? We previously toured...

Almost every Buffalo hunters dream!

All very artfully exhibited. Proves the human imagination is boundless!

Sow or gelded boar a no brainer! Absolutely delicious! Well done as you know. Just a year ago today returned from a hunt with MG Hunting, Argentina. I killed an old Wild Russian Boar...Pedro reckoned 12-13 years old. At night, run with dogs. 350-400 pounds as stated to me by Pedro. And I've...

On the 340 Weatherby. It hurts to shoot. Hurt equal's flinch. BAD. I had Answer Products install a recoil reduction system on my customized 340 Bee. Synthetic stock, barrel cryogenically treated for accuracy. ETC. P.S... Mark 5 action. Deadly accurate, recoil of a 270. VERY loud. Only...

Thanks Wik! Rest on me! Herb

Wik....my wife and friends possibly coming with us asked for pictures of the lodge and accommodations. Possible? Thanks VM, Herb

Welcome! I'm a relatively new member as well AND...also looking to book a Cape Buffalo Hunt for 2025! I am a NAVY veteran. Thank you for your service. May we both enjoy the hunt of our dreams! Although mine with a 375 HxH Winchester Mod. 70 with a pre-64 action I bought almost 20 years ago...

Consider the possibilities. You're a blessed man. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee!
