    Johannesburg Hotel B&B ??

    A safe place in Joburg? Yeah just like the safe places in Iraq and Cabrini Green in Chicago Maybe Pretoria, other wise get the heck out of there as soon as possible. The only way to spend time in the area, is to stay in a self contained hotel, or with a knowledgable local guy to help move you...

    Toughest Hunter I have ever seen!!!!!

    Imagine the fitness of the camera man with the big camera, extra batteries, jug of water, and still keeping up with a low heart rate to capture all this video in such a steady and perfect form! I wonder how many camera men, and helecoptors were involved in this event?

    Africa Plane tickets...

    The least expensive tickets are always the most attractive, however when you consider that the flights on Delta and SAA are over sold for every flight and the chance of an empty seat is somewhere around zero, if something should go wrong, you will not be going on the trip. As I said every flight...

    Bill Albrecht in North Bend Washington and Alan Malaise in Boise Idaho. The cream of the taxidermy crop in the PNW. Alan is an artist that you cannot beleive until you see his shop. His waiting list is extensive and he is very well known in Taxidermy competition circles. The name of his...

    Miracle of the African Trophy

    Don't mistake my post for being completly negative about African Taxidermy. I have had things done there myself even though I have been doing Taxidermy for over 20 years now. Sometimes there are species or situations that justify having it done there. There are excellent taxidermists there, I...

    Miracle of the African Trophy

    Shipping will be quite expensive for your mounts. It's always a lot more then they tell you so they can get the work. After 15 years of doing this for a living I can say that the cost difference to get your heads on the wall when you include everything is not a whole lot more in the USA...

    Miracle of the African Trophy

    Thought I would share some thoughts on just what's involved with getting your stuff back. The Miracle of the African Trophy As a Professional Hunter and Safari consultant I’m quizzed on many African Hunting topics. One of the most common is “how do we get the skins and horns home”. Or I hear...

    Scent lock being Sued!

    My post here was to share something of interest to many people. If I mistake this forum for a private "click" then I apologize for butting in on your party. I've never seen greenhorns post on the topic so I cannot comment? I have no idea who you are but I clearly have over stepped my welcome in...

    Scent lock being Sued!

    We had a long thread here about a year ago or so. It was regarding the benifits of this Scent lock garbage. I posted a whole lot of chemical data and the background of where I found this information. Some guys were still buying into it saying it works great, others felt as I do that it's a...

    Very Dangerous time of year upon us.

    Hard to believe this bore site has less damage then the gun or the guy! In general many of us get complacent in our gun handling over time. My soon to be 6 year old son is always around my guns now when we go shooting. I watch like a hawk and am checking to see the status of guns constantly...

    Diary of a Plains game hunt with JJHACK Part 1

    One of my hunters posted this report and I asked him if he would post it here as well. He did not have the ability to post it here, but asked me if I could do it for him. So here is the Word doc he sent me with the photos...

    Diary of a plains game hunt with JJHACK part 2

    JUNE 11, 2007 Today we are off on a gemsbok hunt. Jim knows that we all want gemsbok. While there are quite a few here, he feels that since we are all interested it’s best to go where not only are there lots, but it’s much more open and with luck we can find shooters. Henk, Dave T., Jack...

    Auto feeders for upland game

    A few questions for some help with my little 20 acre ranch here in Eastern Wa. I have recently bought a tripod mounted Mountree programmable feeder. I have a lot of game birds passing through and see or hear them frequently. I would like to set this feeder up to keep them around even more...

    Kudu's..... Careful what you ask for!

    As many of the visitors to my site know there is an article about the size and appearance of Kudu Bulls. I worte this as a help to settle the confusion between the status of a "score" and the reality of what the hunter is actually looking for. Here is another example of two 50ish inch Kudu's...

    Hyena Quest

    There are a few animals in my life I’ve really wanted to hunt for. Most are not the typical species that the majority of sportsmen really dream of. I really want a big bush pig, as well as a giant forest hog, and this brown hyena. I’m not sure why that is but We all seem to have different taste...

    May is getting closer....

    Good thread, The Flea collars are interesting. Since I usually only hunt in shorts They would not do me much good. Walking in the long grass is tick heaven but it also depends upon the year. Some warm wet late fall seasons ( May) are very bad with ticks, cooler dryer falls( may) can be tick...

    Realistic Goals

    Peter I had forgotten about the "rodeo" I guess it was such an unbelievable story that I never bothered to tell it without somebody to back it up for me. Now with you here I guess I can tell a bit of it. We had a hunter a few years ago on a hunt that Peter and I were working together. This...
