Who wants to attend a Professional Hunter course?

Sounds epic! Gonna check my dates and maybe see you round that fire with a cold one!
We have 1 slot/bed left. Would love to have you join us!
 
One final bump to the top.. the course is just a month away... theres still a slot available if anyone is interested... just shoot me a PM and we can get you in if this is something you'd like to do...
 
I’d really love to attend this course, but I couldn’t get days off at work for this September. Please plan something like this again next year and I’m gonna be in.
 
Make that 6 slots taken... just 2x beds left... jump in quick!
Hello I inquired about the course b4 but are personal rifles allowed in the course or only camp rifles used....I'm asking because I currently working on getting a zastava m70 in 458 win mag (currently on layaway) and I know this may sound dumb but I really want real time experience with such safari calibers in the FIELD including doubles, the biggest caliber I actually have experience with is 300 Win Mag and I don't wanna look like an idiot on my first safari....will the course go over shooting and such
 
It's safe to say we all think it's a can't miss prospect....actually LEARNING the african way of hunting firsthand

We just finished up the course this past week.. lots of information about it can be found here:


Personal rifles are absolutely allowed.. I was actually the only person that used a camp rifle..

That said, I personally wouldnt recommend a 458 Win Mag for the course.. No problem at all bringing it along to hunt with or just to practice and train with... but.. the course of fire for the class includes a speed shooting portion where targets are engaged at 30, 20, and 10 meters in less than 10 seconds (consider it something along the lines of dealing with a DG charge).. operating a bolt action that quickly is already a bit of a challenge in any caliber.. but a big bore / heavy recoiling rifle I think would be extremely hard to make the time/score with.. It can certainly be done.. but its difficult enough getting 3 shots off in 10 seconds with a 308.. doing it with a 458 that you arent intimately familiar with would be a very serious challenge.. not to mention all of the practice shooting would get very expensive very quickly..

I see your point lol....so probably bring a "light rifle".

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

where are you located? I would be happy to help you with you doing the reloading but I will only load for a very few real close friends as posted before liability is the problem. but will help you.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
