Greetings from Africa

Welcome to tjoppa416! Please tell us a bit more about yourself...

Thanks Jerome well it’s a short story :), I started hunting from a young age with my dad, doing some guide work for bow hunters and biltong hunters in Limpopo throughout school holidays. As soon as my first gun licence (416 Rigby) was finalized I started stepping up, doing plains game trophy hunts in Mpumalanga and Limpopo but things went a bit slow at first as I was still studying for my BSc Zoology and time was not on my side, after the completion of my degree I stayed for a second and had some extra time, where I paid more attention to my hunting (Mpumalanga, Limpopo and Natal) and was fortunate to do some Big game hunts in Zimbabwe and RSA. After my study’s I started free lancing work in and about RSA but the dream of hunting outside the boarder’s caught my mind and soul.

Some say it’s the glips of light as the sun catches the buffalo’s horn in thick jess or that oh so strong smell of musk as u make your way on the track of your elephant, all I know is that it has a way of opening your eyes and bringing out a new side u never knew, and it’s that feeling that caught me and bread inside me…….
And so I started looking for opportunities, after about 4 months of freelancing I got a chance to live my dream fulltime in Mozambique.

Now I’m still hear, managing a beautiful camp in Niassa and doing hunts as it was intended to be done.:A Camping:

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
