    Hunting the Cape Quagga (Equus quagga quagga)

    Wow, that’s incredible. I thought for sure that they were gone forever. Awesome effort and I’m sure hard work and lots of money went in to bringing them back.

    For Sale Westley Richards Safari Trousers

    I would think so. I currently can wear all the different 42 pants I have and these feel no different. My inseam is 32" and these are definitely longer. Westley Richards says 33" but feels more to me like they are 34" in the inseam.

    100 year old plus guns

    Flintlocks were well used during the civil war and many years after. As far as the fur trade is concerned, during the rendezvous period of 1825-1840, the first listing of percussion caps in the inventories of goods brought to rendezvous was in the Invoice of Sundry Merchandise from the Rocky...

    I have come to the conclusion that "New Guys" are welcome, BUT......

    @teklanika_ray first, welcome. So a 505 and a 458/plains game gun. Put the 505 in a wood stock only. You chose it in part for its Africa nostalgia, so go all the way with it. Open sights only, wood stock. As a fellow Alaskan I get the need for stainless and laminate or glass. Go that route...

    A cautionary tale - Traveling with ammunition in luggage

    Wow, you guys need to move to America, which arguably is getting smaller and smaller, That’s insane. I’ve carried one on my key chain since ‘74 and never been questioned anywhere.

    ZIMBABWE: Zimbabwe With Buzz Charlton

    So what’s next? Well I have one more animal to hunt with the 475 No 2 to have taken the Big 5 with that gun. A leopard. And I’ve got that hunt booked next year in Botswana. Then in ‘26 I’ll start again with an equally special double that Rigby is building currently. It’s my tribute gun to Ian...

    Those would be fine. I believe the company that filmed my trip is associated with one or both. Initially when I booked the trip and filming I still had my company and couldn't jeopardize it with all the woke and anti-hunter assholes, so I specifically said no, and paid for the privilege to keep...

    If you are talking about it going on YouTube I won’t do that because YouTube demonetizes anything hunting or firearm related, yet they surface ads so they can make money. If you mean something else please enlighten me. And thanks.

    ZIMBABWE: Zimbabwe With Buzz Charlton

    Thank you. And it sounds like we approach hunting in a very similar way. I just let the hunt happen, let Africa give me what it wants, and it seems like I’m always rewarded for that.

    375 H&H DGX Performance on Whitetail?

    A .375 H&H 300gr DGX will do just fine on whitetail. Among the plains game I’ve taken are bushbuck and impala. They will exit though.

    Safari Vehicle Breakdown and how much did it effect your hunt

    If you didn't have a breakdown, or didn't get stuck, was it really a safari? I'm thinking no. As an aside, in Namibia we stopped at a McDonald's (okay not really but something similar) as we had a two hour drive ahead of us. I enjoyed my burger and fries by my PH couldn't even take a bite...

    450/400 3" double as a stopping rifle?

    Ok so we are talking about a "stopping rifle" not a hunting rifle. And for Buffalo in particular. But hey why not throw elephant in there for good behavior. We are talking about something in the 500 class. In particular 500NE for a double and 505 Gibbs for a bolt gun. When the PH can finally...

    In this case the headstamps do nearly match, but I’ve never had any ammo checked to be sure it matches the rifle in any country I’ve hunted in.

    How far can you expect to shoot an elephant?

    Forget about what you see on YouTube. A good PH can get you in a lot closer than 50 yards, even in fairly open country.

    Small gifts for PH and tracker

    Very well said and spot on. I'll just add this: The currency of preference will depend on the country. In South Africa it's hard for the Safari staff to exchange USD for Rand, and if they did they would likely pay a significant fee for the exchange, so tip them in Rand. In Zimbabwe the USD is...

    That wasn't my comment, it was someone else's. You can have a separate ammo box that is locked and have it travel separately. Or you can put this locked box inside a bag. Or you can have you ammo in "factory" packaging and put it in a checked bag. I'm speaking of flying from the U.S. to RSA and...

    Day 13 - the last hunting day. We went out looking for another Impala, or a Warthog or a Grysbok. We knew all the meat had been eaten at the Hyena bait site so no reason to go there. We decided Paradise Valley was the place to go. On the way out of camp this beautiful Livingstone Eland bull...

    Day 12 Today we headed out to the Hyena bait site while it was still dark. We snuck up to the blind, which was just a wall of brush, in hopes there would be Hyena on the bait. There were. I quietly positioned the 375 in the shooting hole, shouldered the rifle, and looked through the scope...
