It's strange how this subject ALWAYS causes so many people to get out of their prams. .......surely the forums are a place for an exchange of opinions & ideas rather than get into arguments.......chill out guys, pour youself a glass of relaxative and ice........ life's far too short for this shit.

Each Afrcian country has it's own rules with regard to hunting Dangerous Game and a few countries don't have any rules at all.

The general rule for DG pretty much translates to a minimum of a 300 grain bullet and 4000 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle. (some countries stipulate a muzzle velocity rather than muzzle energy)

There are not really many countries that allow handgun hunting nowadays.......Mozambique does, but they're pretty freewheeling about calibre and energy requirements. However, the easiest way to get to Mozambique is to transit through RSA who now only allow hunting handguns of a maximum of .45 cal......if you have to overnight in RSA you have to import the handgun....if it's in contravention of the RSA laws then they confiscate it.

I'd have to check, but if I remember correctly Cameroon doesn't have a calibre or ballistic requirement for DG.

Having said all that, if a hunter takes (for example) a 45/70 and a .416 on a hunt then who is to know which one he uses on individual animals......only the hunting staff.

We like most safari companies expect clients to sign an indemnity before they hunt and part of that indemnity is that the client accepts that the PH may be forced to shoot if in his estimation human life is endangered........so as far as I'm concerned, the client can use a catapult if he wants so, just as long as he accepts that (with this particular calibre) I'll whack the animal as well if it stays on it's feet.

...........now, where's the ice!
