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

Quite a guy. Adventurous life.

A true legend among international hunters outfitters and PHs .RIP sir .

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

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

May he hunt in paradise forever.

I had not heard. His brother Chris and Chris' wife Grace are friends of ours here in Vegas. My sincerest condolences.

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.

Condolences to his family. He lived a life that so many others only dream of.

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.
