I got a call yesterday from a friend who is going to Zim on the 22 of May for Elephant (4) Buff and whatever else. This is his 4th trip in the last 4 years there so he isn't new to the area.

Anyway, his Outfitter, don't know who, called him yesterday and advised him to leave his rifles at home. He will use the Outfitters rifle.

He was told it was heating up with the Presidential election going for a re vote or Mugabe declaring victory and thinks he would be better off not trying to drag a firearm around the airports and such.

FYI and no opinion from me on what you should do. I would point out though that this is the way it was in the late 70's also. It was not uncommon for tourist rifles to be stolen or roadblocks set up in the bush to relieve hunters of their firearms. Better to lose someone else's .375 or 458 than your own. Even then tourists were relatively safe as everyone knew that, no matter who won, tourists money was going to be needed.
