Doing a little research and was wondering if there is a current published list of the Operators for the different Game Management Areas in Zambia. Thanks! Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | ||

http://www.huntingreport.com/c...nt_issue.cfm?id=1627 More Allocation News, Plus the First Leopard Hunts (posted July - 2015) By Barbara Crown Editor-in-Chief, with Justin Jones, Assistant Editor We have received word from Zambia that all allocations have been signed for except Upper Lupande. A representative at Professional Hunters Association of Zambia (PHAZ) tells us, however, that the list of tenders has not been released yet by Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA). When this information is made public we will immediately send an Email Extra bulletin. In the meantime, we have new information: In April we told you that Zaid Patel had acquired a concession. Wes Hixon at Wes Hixon's Outdoor Adventures & Travel (www.weshixon.com; 706-657-3527), informs us that Patel will be hunting the Nyambu GMA. No word yet on what his operation will be called. The West Petauke GMA, formerly operated by Derick van Staden, has been acquired by Sarge Karim. He will be operating there as Mopani Safaris, which also will be booked by Hixon. Readers will recognize Karim as a former PH for Peter Chipman. The West Petauke encompasses 1,000,000 acres in the south of Luangwa Valley with baboon, buffalo, Chobe bushbuck, bushpig, crocodile, common duiker, Sharp grysbok, hippopotamus, hyena, impala, klipspringer, kudu, puku, roan antelope, warthog, waterbuck and zebra. Derick van Staden tells us that he has merged his operations with Paya Kakuli Safaris, which will operate on the Nyaminga GMA, and Sitatunga Safaris on the adjacent Luawata GMA (formerly managed by Athol Frylinck). "We are conducting our first safaris in Luawata in 10 days, and Nyaminga in 14 days" said Van Staden on June 17. "After the first hunts, I will be in a better position to comment on the condition of the areas, but they seem in good shape. The grass is still long, but I have seen plenty of buffalo and other game, and there are lots of cats around. "These two operations share the Luangwa River as a common boundary, and will work closely together. My wife Sylvia will be marketing both safari companies under the name Sylvia in Africa (sylviainafrica@gmail.com). She is also responsible for all admin, camps and logistics." Luawata has been called the "Crown Jewel" of Zambia's GMAs.... Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||
