    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...

    Realistics

    Realistics? What do you expect. csutton7, As difficult it was to properly pose the question, it is an order of magnitude more difficult to make a good reply to. Like: How long is a piece of string? In my attempt to reply with some meaning, I'll assume that the guy who did the booking has done...

    What's the PH's responsibility--

    csutton7, How long is a piece of string? I would expect any PH working for me to remember the first three tasks on his job description: 1. Keep the client happy. 2. Keep the client very happy. 3. Keep the client extremely happy. So I would expect the PH to discuss with the client what could...

    Toughest to die animal that I ever hunted.

    Reading JJHack's posting about the heart shot buffalo's will to stay alive made me think of a few stories that I wish to tell. I know that I am risking my reputation, but what is told here is 100.00% truth without any embellishment at all. Years ago I guided a young hunter of about 10 years of...

    Natural occuring game and the geography of southern Africa

    Black wildebeest, together with Cape Grysbok, Blesbok and Bontebok are all endemic to South Africa and does not occur anywhere else except as introduced species. It is true that there are good blesbok populations in e.g. Namibia, but they are unnaturally introduced. Might as well hunt one in...

    Natural occuring game and the geography of southern Africa

    JJ, Thanks for bringing this impoortant aspect to focus again. You and I seem to share the dislike about Outfitters who offer remakably good looking deals - but most of the game their clients are shooting is pre-measured trophy animals recently delivered into an unnatural environment. The...

    South Africa had lots of rain!

    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...

    Alaska hunting at it's finest

    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...

    Lion attack?

    Nice looking lion! Start counting slowly from the moment you see the lion, and stop when it gets the poor guy. Q: How long do you have? A: Not enough time! Unless your PH is very fast to get a good shot off, you've had it! But then, this is what hunting the big 5 is all about?

    sable?

    JJHACK, What Roland Ward book do you work from? In my book Sable has to be 41 7/8 inch to qualifyand not 50 inches as you say. Maybe they have changed the minimum since long ago when I last learned these numbers? But by such a whopping amount? Old Pro.

    Anybody hunting Easter weekend?

    Lochi, I'm really pleased to hear that you can remain in business of depleting blackbacked jackall populations somewhat at some places. A very good thing for your future business also! Maybe Martin was worth the R3000 after all? Good luck and take care in future. Old Pro.
