TANZANIA: Rungwa Game Reserve

If y’all just hunted a year ago in Tanzania, your trophies are not really late yet. It can take up to two years and 1 to 1.5 years is normal. The only free-range country that got my trophies to me quickly was Zambia. That’s probably because my outfitter did his own dip/pack and paperwork with the government but most outfitters do not.

WTA is a good organization and if they are now working a different angle on it, then it should be successful. If not, let me know. I helped a guy from MT get his buffalo out of Mozambique a few years ago after he got the run-around. I took my friend, Barbara Crown, (previously of The Hunting Report and now with SCI) to the outfitter’ booth at SCI and lit a fire under the outfitter. Buffalo got shipped a couple weeks later.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I'm afraid I haven't been able to get mine back either. All I've been able to secure are promises, broken ones. I am curious about what you said of some WTA scheme; how would that work? Any specifics on that?
No specifics other than WTA was paying a different outfitter to pay the government to get the trophies released.

That's exciting news. What outfit are you going with? I presume you're taking your own rifle this time; what is it?
We will be going with Kwadiwa Ranch/ TG Safaris and renting a rifle.
I'm sure you've seen my new 375 H&H. Just installed the scope today any will be shooting it this weekend. Also supposed to be taking delivery of Peregrine bullets Friday.


Can't help you there. My taxidermist was/is going to do all that if those critters ever get released.

Good luck and good hunting
 
This is a bucketlist trip for me. Rungwa, from what I've seen and heard, is just a wild place. I enjoyed reading.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

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?
