I mean if someone is on a hunt and I know it may be a rare occurrence due the season being colder and they kill one would that be something that could be exported be it a mamba, boomerang, rock python etc

I know this may seem like one of the craziest questions maybe posted on this website but I must ask. I know there are people in africa who does leather crafting but as far as hides and skins go, it's not uncommon for someone here in the states to find a DEAD snake and use the skin on thier...

Me personally I'm a 30-06 fan boy and plan on taking a 30-06...for ANYTHING plains game but in my situation i figure taking different kinds of bullets according to the quarry but not so close minded as to dismiss other calibers, this gives me and excuse to buy some barnes or some A frames since...

II How is the ammo availability in africa for the ruger medium/big bores....and can PH's order ammo beforehand if requested and paid for by the client

F- it, honey just hit it with the 30-06 we'll worry bout the numb shoulder and the laceration on your forehead when we get home....

Hello everyone hope everyone is doing well I was just thinking about a scenario whereas I was talking to my wife about joining me on a plains game hunt...she is a beginner hunter and I bought her a rifle chambered in 243 Winchester but myself also own a rifle chambered in 22-250 I know the...

Hell I can't even say I'm sensitive to the recoil because I've NEVER shot ANYTHING in the 375 and 416 calibers

It's just the issue of getting one of the more expensive rifles in 416 Rem Mag and can't shoot it accurately then having a damn near 2,000 gun just sitting in my gun safe, that's why I was looking into a less expensive one to get a feel for the medium to big bores ( mossberg patriot in 375 Ruger...

Hello everyone I hope all is well, but I was pondering a random thought......considering there are few people that actually hunt dangerous game in my region so ME personally don't know anyone who owns a rifle calibered in 416 Remington Mag and none of the local gun ranges have any for rental and...

I guess this forum has genuine guys that are devoid of egos and was probably in one of our situations at some point in time besides I know a LOT of hunters but I know NONE who have had the experience of a safari hunt....I'm just here for the knowledge lol

Please forgive any absurd questions I might ask or post on this website....just look at me like the annoying little brother that always wants to know about EVERYTHING

J Jesus Christ....man how did you come up the formula to sight in that scope as far as I understand with the situation of barrel regulation...just zero the scope to the general point of impact of each barrel....I'm not making an opinion I'm requesting knowledge????

Then I'm married I can't let my wife walk in on me viewing such lustful publications...LMAO

I'm about to leave this group yall are mean and some "gun flirts"....

Stop it........my uncle has a Cimmaron rolling block in 45-70 that we only see and shoot on new years....man I bet taking down an Eland with a sharps...in AFRICA...would give all kinds of Matthew Quigley vibes

Lol come on fellas yall being too hard on me...yall know I'm a noob when it comes to this african hunting thing all my knowledge doesn't go any further than years of reading african hunting literature and publications and YouTube videos that's why I be getting on yall nerves for knowledge....

Man that's nothing but firearm pornography....take it down IMMEDIATELY.....

I'm gonna admit on a level of 1-10....I be on the level of .5 lol....but my logic was of all the things that have to be taken into account during a hunt maintaing my rifle is one thing I wouldn't wanna worry about until I got back to camp or home.

Man I'm just a stainless steel groupie...lol

Oh no my salary won't allow such goings on...........besides if I did get my hands on one it would be a situation of using it rarely to never but damn I still want one...lol

Man I wanna be like YOU guys when I grow up lol

It's a fetish....

Hello guys just out of curiosity I just wanted is there such thing as doubles with stainless steel barrels....I'm at work daydreaming and I'm just imagining how beautiful one would be....do they exist and if so has anyone seen one personally

Not to sound weird but am I the only one who loves hearing that sliding brass then the clunk sound that you hear when a double rifle is loaded

Wow...cold War Africa lol

That's why I'm somewhat jealous of outdoorsmen that live in Texas and other wide open places lol, they have room to stretch out and at least see what thier limits are as far as shooting...but we've got the edge when it comes to fishing lol

to be honest I really don't know what my max shooting range is lol.....I have NEVER taken a shot past 300 yards the nearest range that goes past 400 yards is 2 hours away even during my last tour in Afghanistan of all places I never shot past 200 for obvious reasons lol....so in honesty I really...

Hello guys I need some insight on the varied terrain in different countries in Africa...I've heard Namibia and some countries in west Africa is mostly scrub desert vs places like Mozambique is mostly wetlands and swamp vs other places that are mixed with thick woodland....I mean I'm in above...

Ok it's all new to me I just be wanting to get an understanding of the process

I mean I guess different people have different experiences with certain gear....cause I agree with you both I'm a practical cheap skate by nature but in my military days of traveling I have seen firsthand how luggage etc gets abused in transit lol

So guys Africa in general how are the prices of ammunition there I know it may be steeper than ammo prices here but to skip all of that hassle with TSA etc would in your guys opinion it make sense to purchase your ammo in country

Wth....that's crazy...not to be in your affairs but how did you get that situation resolved because any good ammo case worth its salt is gonna be pretty beefy plus the lock itself

Oh no just me lol...sounds like just getting all the firearms related stuff is a hassle for ONE person much less 2

Ok that's what I needed better understanding of this is REALLY appreciated

Hello everyone I was recently watching videos and reading articles pertaining to flying with firearms and I still have one more question maybe you guys can help me with considering you all surely have more expertise in this area...the maximum ammo that can be carried is 11 lbs, is that TOTAL for...

So in essence go for heavy for caliber bullets when hitting eland with the 30's??????

I'm am so sorry for your losses, that really puts things into perspective for me

Right because in the southeast one would believe a spotting scope or binos would not be needed due to the vegetation but all that changes when the thickets open up into a 2 acre plus cut cotton or peanut field lol ....and I'm on the same page as you with you about the hunt dictates gear

Of course one is gonna have all of the essential gear needed as far as the trip but obviously the gear an American hunter uses might not be necessary or might not be enough for Africa....what does PH's recommend that a hunter puts in his hunting pack if that makes sense

Right..and to be honest I'm pretty sure that my 30-06 or 300 win mag covers the gambit of plains game but I KNOW how my luck is like a swirling wind I'll get there with the intent of just shooting plains game and we'll see a trophy lion or something That's why I was researching some surplus...

We are on the same wavelength with this one considering I'm just going to eat exotic meat and get some experience for another safari so I was looking into some cull hunts....LMAO

I'm from Wilcox county but I live in Greenville

Well you may as well get ready for the I-10 to be backed up from Pensacola to New Orleans bout January and February.....the superbowl is in New Orleans this plus Mardi Gras and the Zulu Ball...lol

Well if people keep releasing all of those exotic animals in Central to Southern Florida....in a few more years we just might be able to go on safari in the everglades....my grandparents live in coral gables and they be telling me about how animal control gets more action than police officers...
