Just placed an order for some 223 Norma brass!

Hope to have a pic with it resting atop a hard bossed buffalo by 23 June!

Load up or have someone like Hendershots load some 350 gr TSX and 350gr Barnes Banded Solids (older flat point design), they are devastating on buffalo at 2550 fps. You can send the components to them and they will load ammo for you (or so I've been told). I may be able to spare some of the...

I really like the old timer, well done! I may just take the blade you gave away at your AH dinner to Africa in June :)

Bar is set Dempsey, nothing less in June!

Well done to both the hunter and PH! Great buff and gorgeous stock on that Winchester!

Since you are hunting in Zim, this may be an option if you can supply the tusks to make the molds, see link below. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/reproduction-elephant-tusks.57115/

Thank you and haven't looked into importing the tusks.

The fiberglass is definitely heavier than foam but I don't think they weighed 52lbs each as the real tusks weighed. I didn't weigh the reproductions but I look at those tusks every single day I'm in the house!

Looks like a great year, congratulations! Will stop by your booth in Dallas, want to chat with you about the possibilities of a free range Roan.

Thank you for sharing and what a great adventure, awesome animals! What did the waterbuck measure?

No, I shipped everything else back to the States, just dip & pack using Andy Hunter in Harare, I highly recommend him. He was a big help with my Leopard import paperwork and only charged ~ $500 for a crate vs the extortion fees paid in South Africa.

TCI in Bulawayo did the replicas, not sure why I initially capitalized “taxidermy studios”.

Another example of elephant tusk reproductions, no input on lion importation: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/reproduction-elephant-tusks.57115/

Wife and I just booked the Canvas hotel near downtown, sounds like a good time! Also looking to share an Uber / Lyft to @mdwest Edge

Wild area with naturally occurring buffalo, throw in natural predators who are also hunting (lions), picking up dugga boy tracks at first light and track them for as many miles as it takes and finding an old dugga boy at the end of the trail… Just a few weeks ago, 16 Sept 2022, Mozambique. 8.5...

Just went through a similar layover time on 24 September, no issues and had enough time for a quick lunch before catching the connecting flight.

Congratulations on the Hyena!

Mounts delivered a few days ago, extremely pleased! The new resting places:

Congratulations on a great hunt. My first Safari in 2017 was with KMG! Understand the feeling midway through that first Safari of planning a return, headed back to Africa in a few days for what will be the 5th trip!

I wrote up a separate post on the reproduction tusks and bases: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/reproduction-elephant-tusks.57115/

Just bought some from Foam Factory for my pelican, many options to choose from and they will cut to size. Much cheaper than Amazon or other sellers. $47 for two 2 inch sheets of “firm” including shipping.

Great Safari and congratulations!

Looking forward to the hunt reports!

Hopefully have some pics up before I leave for South Africa & Mozambique!

Some finished pictures from the taxidermist of the “cats”, delivery planned for early next week! The milky eye on the male Civet was how we wanted it done as he was blind in that eye. Looking forward to the delivery!

Taxidermy was delivered a few weeks ago: And on the wall (minus the smaller Red Stag:

Well done and enjoyed the report and pictures! After hunting and enjoying Spain in December 22, can’t wait to get back!

Congratulations on some great Stags and thank you for sharing your hunt with us!

Enjoyed the report and congratulations on some great animal! May have to put Argentina on the “places to hunt/visit list”!

Starting velocities @ 2600 fps, no need for a monolithic. Just grab a standard cup and core or one of lighter bonded bullets and you should be good to go. Mono's perform best with high velocity, I've used the 130 TTSX out of my 30-06 at max velocity with great accuracy. As the mono's slow...

Here's an option to look into: https://www.stoneglacier.com/collections/day-packs/products/avail-2200 Used this Stone Glacier pack on a trip to Spain last December, meets TSA size requirements and in two great solid color patterns. If you carry camera gear, spotter, tri-pod, extra clothing...

Just a quick update, Michelle's Mouflon score just made Silver and the larger of the two Stag's was a solid Bronze. The Ibex did not make Bronze but I had booked "representative", the hunting was great which is what both Michelle and I really wanted out of the trip to Spain. We are having...

It sure was nice flying home from Tucson yesterday without a mask!

I hear you! Mine doesn’t know about the 1000 bullets and 8lbs of H1000 arriving next week Bump for a great rifle and to get the thread back on track!

Check Peregrines website as well as Hammer bullets, they list the required twist to run the proper weight copper monos. Drive the mono fast as possible for good expansion. Run the muzzle velocity and ballistic coefficient through one of the online tools to determine your maximum range with the...

Phil, bullet weight is limiting with 1-8 twist, especially mono’s with the heaviest around 127 grains (TSX). I bought a bunch of Peregrines with the heaviest they recommended for 1- 8 twist, 125gr (or close to that). I have them shooting well and may take it to Africa this fall vs using 140...

Do you think its from the Willis die resizing the base area pushing the brass towards the base, hence the slope? You definitely got your use out of the brass with them being reused eight times. My rule, if in doubt, it goes to the scrap bin!

Alaskan has dual cross-bolts, at Lear they did in 2017, here’s my post when I received my Alaskan. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/just-arrived-375-h-h-mod-70-alaskan.39884/
