Re: Group hunt in Africa

Quote:

Gentlemen,
a couple of years ago one of the members (Rigbymauser I believe) made the suggestion that members from the Nitro Express forum go to Africa for a group get together and hunt but only using original pre-war rifles with open sights. Is that something that members are still interested in once this Covid shit has settled down. At the time there were an number of people interested.

Matt.




I would be interested. Really doubt 2022 will happen. And definitely would not PLAN for anything much FROM AUSTRALIA in 2022.

In Australia I really doubt non-covid vaxxed people will have much freedoms in the next few years. Definitely international travel and maybe even accross state borders.

I think many other countries are already far more open than convict orientated Australia.

But ignoring all of that.

I would be interested subject to my finances and the rest of the world BS.

I am keen to one day spend some time bird shooting in Africa. I NEVER put time aside for that, and ALWAYS have higher priorities in hunting other game species right till the last minute.

I wouldn't mind rehunting some sundry species such as impala, springbok, kudu, zebra, blue wildebeest etc. Depending on what exhorbitant trophy fees might be asked nowadays. I still think in 1990 and early 2000's trophy fees and daily rates.

If I was after specific species. it would include BUSHPIG, NYALA, SABLE, TESSEBE, BLACK WILDEBEEST, and some of the smaller antelope, such as Klipsringer, different duikers, etc. Forgotten the species names! Some of these have better lower trophy fees.

Of course I am made keen to hunt cape buffalo again, elephant, plus fantasy lion and leopard. In my dreams at the moment.

For me it would depend if shooting the usual run of the mil stuff, how much money I was blowing on that, which could not be put aside for the specialist and BG hunts in the future.

I would be interested in seeing who is interested and in what? Good luck, hope it works out.

***

Not to drive this thread off course, but I would be keen to see if there is any interest in a NT/Top End Australia group hunt, for water buffalo and razorback pigs, and cull species such as donkeys, horses perhaps even camels. Barramundi and other fishing as well.

Assuming evil foreign devils are ever allowed into cotton wool Australia again ...
