    Perfect shot placement

    Few animals come with a target built in. Zebra are one of them. The stripes forma perfect triangle over the heart. Shot in this location they will rear up and run all out for 50 yards and fold. It has happened 100% of the time for me. The Stallion was hit with my 375HH used buy one of my...

    AFRICA 2005, ROLL CALL.

    Bushbuck and waterbuck are no problem, Leopard will be a 14 day hunt, about 8500.00 alone and depends upon getting a permit. If I may suggest as a group you guys stick with plains game and all try to arrive and hunt as a group. With some guys wanting hunts that require special arrangments like...

    AFRICA 2005, ROLL CALL.

    I read the posts up to this point and I'll try to remember the questions. May and June are the best months possible. The Rut is on for several species. The last 15 days of May to the 15th of June are the best weeks. I'm in the Northern Province and we have a fair population of Nyala. They...

    Just a few more photos if anyone is interested

    Here are a few more photo's as I get time to add them. This is a Pangolin. So rare that people live their entire life in the bush and never see a single one. It's the second I have seen in my life and I was so pleased to be able to show it to the hunters I had with...

    Air Freight costs

    This is a question with way to many possible answers to just claim anything to be "fact". I will give you some details having done this over last 11 years with just shy of 200 clients now. The price to get game home is as follows: Pack and dip, required by the South Africa government. 50...

    AFRICA 2005, ROLL CALL.

    One of the things to keep in mind when deciding on what game you want is that not all game is indiginous to all areas. Imagine somebody coming to America to hunt Big horn sheep in Florida. How embarrasing would that be? Yet it's common in Africa to shoot non-indiginous species in a put and take...

    Just a few more photos if anyone is interested

    Troy, Are you implying that my job was easy the last week with the 10 and 12 year old hunters? Had I hired out the work to another PH, he would probably never have wanted to work for me again! I have often said this job must be like being a hooker. I'm getting paid for doing something fun...

    Amazing Africa (a little long, but has photos)

    Good post Troy, Thanks for sharing. I think most of us know Troys background as a wildlife artist. Well he had 10 days to watch and photograph African game. Lot's of game and real close up! I think we will see some incredible artwork with Afrcian content in our future. I know that from what I...

    First photos from beginning of Season

    Big sky( troy) was on a working vacation with me this year. He took some exceptional video and drew some awesome artwork for us. He only hunted a few days but we had a great time. I expect he will pitch up here and post some photos and make a few comments any time now. He has had a few stateside...

    First photos from beginning of Season

    It's a buggar to post them all so here is the Sony Image station link. This years trophies were difficult, not because they are huge or record breaking but because I had one hunter who was 10 years old and another that was 12 years old. The patience and complications with this make every single...

    Gone til End of June Gotta go to work!

    Well guys it's that time of year. I gotta go to work this week. I'll be gone til mid June and then home for a few weeks before I go back for 18 more days in July. I would normally stay the whole time but I have a 14 mo old boy now and mom will likely need a break from him for a few weeks. Next...

    What's the cartridge that pops into your mind when talking about Africa

    If you can hunt Africa for the typical sporting species the 338 is near perfect. If you decide to hunt Elephant, hippo, rhino, and buffalo the 375HH is my personal Minumum and many countries legal minimum. Sure the 338 and smaller guns will kill these aniamls but not typically within the time...

    What's the cartridge that pops into your mind when talking about Africa

    An interesting thing about the 375HH is that it's got an equal or flatter trajectory to the 180 grain 30/06 and 250 grain 338 when shooting 270 grain bullets at 2850fps. It's also lighter in the recoil department Then many 338 rifles. I shot a 338 and my 375HH dozens of times last thursday and...

    monster puma guys

    We killed it near my home in Washington state. Exact Location will reamin undisclosed! I'm surprised you all have not said it was a fake photo. About half the emails I get claim it to be a hoax or trick photography. All I can say to that is Nope! It's real and the photo shown was taken in my...

    What's the cartridge that pops into your mind when talking about Africa

    I don't think a recreational sport hunter needs anything bigger then a 375HH for hunting anyplace on earth or for any species. The 375HH with a good bullet and scope with the bullet place in a good spot will kill anything alive with little effort. I have seen countless big animals killed and...

    What's the cartridge that pops into your mind when talking about Africa

    It's interesting that so many click with the 470 nitro and the 458 win mag. The 458 Win mag was designed to be the bolt action replacement for the 470 nitro. The advertised ballistics were said to be the same with the 470 having a slightly larger bore diameter and the 458 shooting a slightly...

    What's the cartridge that pops into your mind when talking about Africa

    What's the first cartridge or firearm that flashes through your mind? As far as rifles go I see a double rifle. But when I am thinking about African cartridges I think 375HH or 470 nitro express. The 458 win mag, although somewhat of a failure in it's early release, is also in my thoughts just...

    Trophy cost ?

    I don't hate the Eastern Cape, What in the world would give you that Idea?? I like the Eastern cape or anyplace else in Africa for the indiginous game they offer. I don't like the idea of hunting game which is released to be shot in a place in never naturally existed! This where the majority...
