Here we go again…

Well, this was trending among Twitter anti-hunters a few days ago. Still getting hate posts. Not that I care.

Just found this on my Facebook feed… seems a lot of conclusions, and public naming/shaming without all the facts again. Anyone can further clarify?

I was talking to that PH that owns the outfit two days ago. He mentioned he was getting tons of hate emails, more than usual, guess that's why.

Edit: I just talked to Buzz. He said they were running out of things to post as that picture was many years ago.

I hunted this young teenage bull in a private reserve 1 1/2 hour north of Pretoria with a client it was management only. Client was not interested in a trophy the price was good and he could still take the small ivory home to the UK for the experience it was what he wanted and he helped manage the numbers.

The matriach got mad after the shot only one needed and we had to be very quiet and cautios not to have a charge was a few minutes of real pucker factor.
 
Anyway we look at it some animals are glory animals but has to be managed like any other.
For me any life we take when hunting is equal they just give different experiences.

Congrats on the elephant. I feel the experience is definitely worth it, even if it's not a big tusker



Seems like there are too many elephant. It seems stupid that they don't offer hunters more opportunities to reduce the number of cow elephants. Hopefully that changes. I know i'll keep my eye open for more discount hunts.
 
Only on

Name of the company (very very well known outfitter, also on AH) name of the PH, and the client, plus the company he works for have all been mentioned in public view. I deleted it from the screenshot, in order not to add to the histeria.

But that looks like an awfully young elephant indeed.

@BRICKBURN if this is not appropriate, do not hesitate to remove. But I’d rather have someone who was involved, clarify, so I can respond on FB with the real story as well.
Only one of the reasons I no longer go on farcebook!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
