Hi 375Fox, I think you misinterpreted what was being said. Red leg said suppressors were not mentioned in Mozambique firearm law. And that suppressors not being mentioned did not make them legal, but put them in a grey area. My argument is that if it is not specifically called out as a...

My experience is I took mine in 2023. Everything went smooth and no issues going in or out of customs in Tete. My outfitter said it was legal to bring it. My pH told me many of their clients now bring suppressors with them while hunting in Mozambique. So I’d say times are definitely changing...

I would agree. But by the same logic, if it’s not called out as being illegal, then that makes it legal, correct? The list of legal things is much longer than the list of what is illegal. So if it’s not called out as illegal, I take it as legal. I trust my outfitter who operates in the country...

FYI Suppressor are legal in Mozambique. Plenty of buffalo and other DG killed there every year.

Yes that is correct. I generally calculate my tip as a dollar amount per day, per person. The combined total tip was 18% of the Hunt cost before tip. Those hunt costs include daily rate, trophy fees, airport transfer, ranger fees, VAT on day rate - trophy fees - non export fee, and...

I figured I’d jump in and comment on this thread as I find it interesting. And possibly partially my fault. I did the exact same thing a few years ago in 2022. I hunted my first Buffalo in Mozambique in 2023 with the same set up. Model 70 .375 H&H. Cut the barrel down to 20 inches and had it...

That’s the beauty of hunting, we all have different preferences in style and gear. Everyone likes something different in optics. What works for one person may be terrible for me, and vice versa. Some even recommend not taking any binos Personally, I’d rather leave my rifle at home than my...

“IMPORTANT: make sure you are using the current 4457 that does NOT have an expiration date in the top right corner. Old ones expired.” Javaman, All your info is spot on. If he’s going somewhere other than Africa than making sure he is using the new 4457 is important. But for anybody going to...

I’m amazed only 1 person has mentioned the Sig Zulu 6 in this thread. Specifically the 10x30...

You will do quite well looking for a big croc on the Cahora Bassa. I took a 15‘4“ croc in October 2023 in the same general area you’ll be hunting. You can’t throw a rock without hitting a 12 footer. 14 footers are easy enough to find in that area. Over 15 are harder to come by but possible. We...

I’d add Mokore Safaris to the list in SVC. I hunted with them 10 days last September. Amazing camp, tons of game! Took a cow elephant, zebra, and hyena during daylight on a walk in blind. I passed on a 56-57” kudu at 60 yards. Had plenty of time to shoot, just didn’t want to pull the trigger...

As I understand it all Emiac services on the Mozambique side are billed through one branch. All SA services are billed through the second branch. TIA so IDK. I am using SSI as my broker and Wyatt has been awesome so far! Emiac sent me the itemized first bill directly. Since I got SSI involved...

If you find a time machine to get back to 2014 let me know! I'd much prefer those rates :) I don't think the cities permit added much. $225 for application for cities. I attached the first invoice so others know what to expect. Chase

I appreciate the condolences! I was expecting $1000 to get trophies from Moz to SA based on my research. The first bill was $2,178 in March. The second bill (apparently Emiac has 2 divisions and each bill separately) was $818.98. I just got that bill. Very much a surprise when the bill is...

Hopefully, this info will help fellow future hunters know what to expect when taking trophies home from Mozambique. This was not readily available info when I did my research before my first Mozambique hunt in October 2023. It costs an arm and a leg to get salted trophies from Mozambique to SA...

I would second the plan of putting the suppressors on one 4457 form and your rifles on a different 4457 form. When I returned through Atlanta, October 2023, they never even bothered to look at my 4457 or tax stamp for my suppressor. At that time there was a separate room you went into when they...

This is a great thread for getting a grasp on how to tip. It helped me a lot before my first safari in Mozambique. I thought I would give a breakdown of tipping on my latest hunt. 10-Day Tuskless and Plainsgame in Zimbabwe. Hopefully, this will help future first-time hunters for any DG hunt...

I figure this might help a future AH member work out the total cost of their safari number. I can be a bit OCD and I like information so I chart my expenses for each hunting trip. It helps me create a realistic budget for each future hunt. This is a breakdown of my last trip in September 2024...

PM Sent.

I can’t point you to anything written one way or the other. Obviously listen to whatever you outfitters says! My experience based on one trip to Mozambique, October 2023. I checked with my outfitter before hand and he said suppressors are legal in Mozambique. My PH confirmed during the hunt...

A wonderful old bull to remove from the population. Congratulations to the hunter for taking the exact type of trophy he was looking for! I keep hearing people talk about only taking post breeding 12-year-old plus bulls to help with conservation and herd vitality. I can see this improving...

I am rather amazed that nobody has mentioned the SIG Zulu 6 yet. https://www.sigsauer.com/zulu6-hdx-ois-binocular-10x30mm-image-stabilized-fde.html I got a pair last year for Africa/turkey hunting. 10 X 30 are small and easy to pack/handle. The image stabilized part makes them an absolute...

I’m a first timer, and also stuck in the wait a bit plant lol. I applied for global entry last October and I’m still waiting for approval. I applied right after I got back from my Mozambique hunt figuring I’d make my life easier for future trips. I’ve got a Zimbabwe hunt in September and at this...

I like a Stetson mountain sky crushable. That’s what I’ll be wearing again in September on my tuskless cow Hunt in Zimbabwe. I also generally wear a cowboy hat anytime I’m working outside, which is pretty much all the time lol. I picked the crushable felt for easier travel on the plane and I...

We all tend to overthink things at times lol. I think it's a personal preference. I prefer a window seat. I don't sleep much on planes, but I can lean against the window and doze off for a bit. I'm a side sleeper and do not sleep well on my back reclined. I don't want to worry about people...

Your comment was a good reminder for me to check up on this! Under the new seat configuration, 41J is just a standard sardine seat. I looked up my booking and seat map on Delta today. It now shows the new seating configuration. Delta automatically changed my seat from 41J to 37J, which is a...

If you still have room for 1 more I would love to come visit with everyone! Thanks, Chase

Sold to Cme1983. Thanks, everyone!

Brand new, never used Tuffpak 1050 Padlock version. Can deliver at DSC show in January. Prefer to deliver in person and not ship. $325. Chase

This update gives me another additional thing to worry about lol. I did my first hunt in Mozambique back in October. I flew sardine class on the Delta flight from ATL to JNB. I made a point to look at the entire configuration of the plane to pick a better seat for my next flight. I already...

Just returned from a 10-day buffalo hunt in Mozambique. I hunted with my .375 H&H Model 70 suppressed. I used a Silencer Co Hybrid 46. Worked great and I would recommend anyone looking for a large-caliber suppressor to take a look at it. MSRP is $939, and I think they offer 15% off on the...

I completely agree! I do more pheasant then waterfall hunting. But I switched over to boss #5 this season for pheasant with amazing results. Much better penetration and cleaner kills. Was shooting #3 Prairie storm steel prior. Personally, I’m not a fan of the high velocity steel. I’ve switched...
