ivan carterwhat phs do when they arent hunting africa -
sitting in the airport watching the news to see if santiago airport will be open for us to land tommorow on our way to cordoba !!
I have two Browning Citori 625 Sporting Clays 20ga, 2.75", 30" ported bbls over/under shotguns: should do the trick from what i hear ..
many thanks to collector for some great advice-
will post all the pics and story when i get back - i have wanted to do this ever since i first heard about it and now i know what it feels like for an elephant hunter sitting at the airport waiting to get on the big flight !!!!
A good sleep tonight will be kindly sponsored by ambien !!!
wish me luck !

Ivan,
you may want to use a semi auto berretta after a while, even in 20 ga. that o/u may beat you up a bit. Its not uncommon to fire 1000 rds a day there. Happy shooting, drinking and eating. The wines and meats should be outstanding.

ivan carternever got there men , we were meant to go through santiago and it never opened for us , we have rescheduled to april ... disappointed but thats the way these things are ..
What a disapointment. But, certainly understandible considering current events.
What outfitter are you hunting with?
