Just learned that my friend, Bert Klineburger, died yesterday. One of the world's greatest hunters that devoted a lifetime to international big game hunting. A true legend.
R.I.P.Bert.

Legend in the hunting industry. Opened hunting in many African Countries including Uganda, Mozambique and others.

A life like Berts is no longer, remotely possible.

RIP

Condolences to his family. He lived life to the fullest which is a proper epitaph for us all.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Bert was an adventurer, a great hunter, and a gentleman.

May he hunt in paradise forever.

Very sad to hear this.

What a gentleman he was.

I met him in Seattle, and asked him to arrange my first safari.

He was one of the old school who knew how to deal with a client, and went out of his way to make sure everything went to plan.

I booked my first safari with him.

I told him I needed to fly to the UK for a couple of weeks, then head off to Zimbabwe. And I needed 2 second hand rifles.

They took all day to take me to a gunshop, where I bought 2 rifles. A Ruger 77 25-06, and a Remington Safari 375 H&H.

I could not take the rifles with me to the UK, so he kindly arranged for them to be delivered to Vic Falls and were left there for me.

Sorry to hear the news.

I am thankful to pioneers like Mr. Klineburger and many others, from many different countries, who paved the way for all of us to enjoy the hunting that we can in far away places, like AFRICA!

Condolences to the family and the many friends he made.

My parents bought me the book about the Klineburger brothers while I was still a teenager. It was the fuse that ignited my passion to hunt internationally, particularly Africa. RIP, sir!

From one native Arizonan to another, rest in peace Bert, old friend. I cannot thank you enough for all the advice and help you and Chris gave me over the past 35 years.
