Bowhunting in South Africa - Help Offered.
Hi pointingdogsrule,
I'll send you a PM with the normal "I advise that you book your hunt with Andrew McLaren Safaris" marketing angle. However there are some general remarks about which a wider spectrum of forum members may be interested in. I hope...
Hi everyone interested in hunting in Africa,
The subject for this thread was copied from the page that came up on selecting the "Africa" forum. The message is shocking! :D Maybe I should ask some silly question about the effectiveness of a .xyz caliber versus an .xzy on some hypothetical animal...

The first one is big enough to make me loose weight - fast!
Big enough to make me loose weight instantly via three routes: Cold sweat, anally and urogenitically!
Realistics? What do you expect.

There are still areas in need of additional rain, but as Lochi said: The major plains game hunting areas had lots of it by now.
Whereas I was really worried at one time, I now see big broods of young guinea fowl all over. It is going to be like a birdhunters paradize this year in my area near...
Thanks to all who did for posting some wonderful pictures of hunting in Alaska. All the brochures in the world could not help me get the "feel" of Alaska as much as these few actual hunting snapshots did. The professionals may pose their pictures very well for brochures, but these happy snaps...

Dear Sir;
I am writing in response to your request for additional information in
