This evening (Thursday)on the Outdoor Life Channel there was a hunt sponsored by Benelli in Namibia for springbok and kudu done with PH Hartmut Freyer of Gauss Hunting. Hartmut is a pal of mine and I've hunted with him five times. His website is http://www.gausshunt.com He's got some first class springbok, kudu, warthog, and eland hunting. He will be in the US in February. His itinary will include Novi and Detroit SCI Chapter banquets in mid February, the International SCI Show Reno, San Diego, and the Idaho Chapter events.

Okay, I programmed it to record so we'll see how it is.

Just saw that show. He took a very nice springbok and kudu with his R-1 Benelli.How many countries in Africa permit semi-autos ?

I was surprised to seeing those being used there. I thought it was a no-no, but then, maybe they gavesome official a hundred bucks and everything was fine.

From the NAPHA Website (recently updated):

Prohibited firearms are

* All handguns
* All automatic firearms
* All crossbows

Thanks for the heads up. It's almost 8:30 PM PST and I see The World of Beretta and then Benelli's Dream Hunts. Hopefully Namibia is the place. Thanks

Evidently, with the proper "Mordita," a permit will be issued allowing import into the country. Lozano has said that handguns are allowed into Tanzania for a $1000 fee, so go figure.
