“Tag: African Game”

Not that anyone who hunts passionately in Africa is “normal,” but even by the standards of obsessive safari addicts, I stand out as, well, a bit strange.

In an official release on August 10, Zimbabwe lifted its suspension of lion, leopard and elephant hunting.

We’ve all heard, discussed, and repeated the claim that “hunting is good for the species,” but how long does it take? The BullShooters provide an answer.

The monies hunters spend and the controlled management of the game they take help many African species thrive.

Relive the first season of “American Hunter’s African Experience” in this sizzle reel.

Professional hunter Hardus van Zyl and Iowa’s Mike McNichols line up a shot on a great Cape buffalo bull. But McNichols’ shot is high, and the bull leads the hunters “straight through the jess”—not a place anyone wants to track a wounded buffalo.

I put much more thought, planning and care into the selection of my safari rifles than I do choosing the safari itself.

The NRA recently led the charge to defeat New York Senate Bill 4686, an anti-hunting bill backed by animal “rights” groups. The bill would have banned the importation, possession, sale or transportation of the “Big Five African Species” to include hunting trophies.

NRA has hunters’ backs as it monitors the status of recently proposed measures restricting the import, export and interstate sale of ivory.
