Hunting the White Bear is different than hunting almost any animal on Earth, and I've hunted a coupla species on a few continents. In the barren ice, while you are hunting the bear, he is very likely hunting you. Everything on the ice is food to the bear, and that includes you. He is always...

.300wm is what I use 90% of the time and in my observation is the most popular PG caliber amongst the folks who live in Africa. I have tested bullets in Africa and settled on the Swift A-Frame back in 1998. It performs extremely well and is very consistent. I even use it in my .458Lott as...

Not an unreasonable potential scenario. I have actually been surprised by Cape Buff in heavy bush at under 4 yards - twice! You are using good thinking to move up from the .375H&H, of which I am admittedly no fan. I would strongly suggest a .416Rem over the Rigby. Ammunition is more...

H&Hhunter First, the Zim PH article is more than a year old, actually quite a few years ago as I recall, and it is the one I referenced as pure, unadulterated BS. Even many African PHs agree with that statement. The documentation regarding the particular round in question has been seriously...

PLEASE, if you want something bigger than a .375H&H, which I consistently recommend, consider a .416Rem in whichever rifle you choose. Why? Because it is the easiest .416 to find ammunition for anywhere in the world and Remington loads their Premium Safari ammo with the Swift A-Frame at a very...

Cape Buff = Swift A-frame followed by all solids Elephant = All solids Hippo = Same as above Lion = All Swift A-frames Rhino = Tranquilizer dart or all solids Leopard = All Swift A-Frames from a .300wm Croc = Same as above While I prefer the .416rem over the .375H&H in all cases, if you...

Historically, it is the African record books that have given scientists the gauge to determine health, development and location of various species. Without those entries, scientists would be unable to determine what environmental changes have impacted upon the condition and survivability of a...

OK, so this BBM character is some kind of internet retard who posts his fantasies on this and other boards, thereby gaining some kind of self actualization. :barf: In reply to bang-bang, this mentally challenged keyboard ranger (BBM) is why I do not post pics. I don't want to see them...

Your list of trophies leads to serious doubt about your claim(s). Your profile is also questionable. As noted by other replies, you must provide additional information if you wish to be taken at your word. This is the internet and anyone can claim anything without substantiated proof. How...

Thanks, H&Hhunter, I've enjoyed reading your posts about my favorite place in the whole wide world as well.

I've been to many African countries on many occasions yet I have never seen any program supported by PETA or by HSUS that provides a dime of support for the animals on that continent. I have seen programs and services supported solely or in a majority part by hunting-conservation organizations...

Elephant hunting is legal in five sub-Saharan African countries. Ivory may be taken, exported and Imported from these countries. Elephant safaris are generally a minimum of 21 days at a daily rate of $500 and up. Elephant license and trophy fees run over $10,000 and up each. Funds from the...

Animals in Africa have only one of two possible values to the native people. 1. In the cooking pot 2. As a resource that provides employment and financial renumeration If you demonstrate that sport hunting (#2) will provide MORE value than the poaching (#1) does, then you will succeed...

The video you saw was old. Sales of confiscated Ivory was first authorized by CITES at the meeting of the parties in late 2002. Botswana (20 metric tons), Namibia (10 metric tons) and the Republic of South Africa were authorized to make the sales. Zambia and Zimbabwe requests to sell their...

Another ridiculous comment about the S&W 500. I am so tired of people who obviously have little or no experience with this handgun making silly statements. I hunt dangerous game. That is game that will run over you, gore you, throw you, eat and kill you. I've hunted them with rifle and...
