The gun is a dream to shoot and with the moderator on, the recoil is like a .22-250 It can consistently make half minute of angle.

I have always been a believer in "Do it now for you may not always be able". This was brought home to me by a friend who passed to his reward last month at the age of 58 years. He had put off going to Australia to watch the English cricket team for years and had booked to go in 2011...

Indeed so Larry. Gotcha is the outfitter's dog. A great tracking dog. In the picture he is actually biting the ticks of the waterbuck. As for the avocados? One of my favourite foods.

If I was as rich as Bill Gates instead of nearer the Church Mouse end of the richness scale, I could have a lot of fun helping people experience African Hunting. Best I can do for now is try to make it as reasonable as possible. The labs appreciated your compliment Grubbylabs, and felt that...

Hi MCgunner. Yes it does in that position but when it is stretched out there is quite a difference in the markings. Puff Adders are widely distributed across Africa and colour does vary a lot with location. Similar venom to your native diamondback but a little more potent as I understand...

For sure Grubbylabs. (Got four grubbylabs myself!!) I have been lucky enough to have been hunting in RSA since 1997. I even get to make a living arranging hunts in RSA, among other activities. I thank the powers that be daily for it too! Best thing about it is seeing the pleasure my...

Always did want a daughter. Alas, there is not an X chromosome in my daughter starved body!! Three sons to prove it!! No vacancies for hunting dogs right now CoRoMo. Here is the current Search and Retrieval Department of Kingstone Deer.

A young eland bull: We enjoyed a morning’s quad bike game viewing. A most exhilarating experience: I guess these guys were wondering who was making all the noise: That was the end of that short hunting trip, we then went on to Franschhoek for the obligatory wine tasting...

On the way back to the lodge for breakfast, we spotted some ostrich. Gavin asked if I would take one of them out. The ostriches were four hundred yards distant and completely unaware of our presence. Gavin led me into a comfortable, prone shooting position, where I could use my bi-pod...

It has been a good while since I have posted on the forum. I often thought that I must get back on the forum but I guess there has been a lack of “round tuits” though I have been a bit busy with eight months of consultancy work in the oil & gas industry that took me from China to Argentina, so...

Hi Caimlas. This is a question I am often asked. In fact, the wife of a member of another forum on which the story is posted asked the same question last week and the question is a fair one. First off, whilst you and I and any other non resident of Africa would view these plains game...

Suppressors do not seem to be a problem at all Percy. They don't even look at them on the way in or out. Roebuck.

Thank you all for your kind comments. It was a pleasure to share the experience with like minded Internet friends. Roebuck.
