African Hunting





At some point in our lives we all dream of going to Africa for a once in a lifetime hunt. Unfortunately it has been too expensive for most of us to take that trek. However here is an outfit that will make it financually possible for that dream hunt. They are nice people and will do what ever they can to make it happen for you. You can contact them at the info provided below if you have any questions.




Tall Grass Safaris is a small new safari company based in South Africa and specializing in comfortable South African plains-game safari’s and tours as well as Zimbabwe dangerous game.




The business is currently steered by Dr. Peter Harris – a veteran of 26 years in the safari industry, his son Dirk, brother-in-law Tom and Frans Gresse, a friend of 30 years with great hunting and administrative skills.





The focus of Tall Grass Safaris would be to allow the serious hunter and the family man with kids the opportunity to get to know the South African environment , its people, cultures, traditions, food and wine while at the same time experiencing the fun of hunting in Africa. TG offers a balanced approach to the hunting experience allowing the client and his family/friends time to enjoy the experience while being put in areas where the is abundant game and scenic splendour. We offer exposure to the preparation of traditional SA meals such as koeksister, pofadder, malva , biltong, wine, and activities such as trophy prep & meats processing (biltong, skinning etc) as part of the fun.




We will be in the United States during January and February 2009 and where possible will meet with interested parties – an itinerary of places we intend to visit will be e-mailed to our newsletter subscribers and also posted on our website.







I have also attached a map of South Africa indicating our main hunting areas – if you’d like a little more information on each area – I’ll send it your way. (Think I’m gonna include it in our next newsletter.)

Please let me know if there is anything else.





Kind regards

Dirk Harris

    This one is really interesting, those who are really concerned about their hunting experience must choose their guns carefully. And for this you must get the rifle with proper licensing and after proper training to use it.

To the Board of Directors,

Gentlemen I`am writing to present you with an idea that i think you may possibly find advantageous to your company. As i`am sure you are aware there is a great interest in whats called "Cowboy Action" shooting in this country and more and more guns of yesteryear are being resurected by the companies that make reproduction firearms.
The sport is growing constantly and the gun makers are constantly looking for ways to take even more advantage of this ever growing market. Guns like the Henry rifle,Spencer carbine, Colt and Remington conversion revolvers and the Colt 1872 Open Top and others are on the market and doudtless other guns of history will be made in the future.
The arms makers try to be as authenic as possible in their copies but one thing keeps them from being "true" copies.The majority of these guns are being made in calibers that the original guns were never made in.The Henry, Spencer,the majority of early Colts were made in rimfire calibers. Ammunition that has`nt been made by American companies since the 1920`s and early 30`s.But with the resurgence in interest in the old guns of our history and boost in ammo sales that go along with it i think it is time to resurect the original ammo these guns used as well. I ask you to think about it and concider this.
The new guns are generally offered in 2 and sometimes 3 caliber options, none of which were ever used in the originals to begin with. If the original rimfire calibers were offered as an addtional caliber option and the ammo for those calibers were available i believe both the guns and ammo sales would skyrocket.
Authenticity is what it is all about with the cowboy action crowd and the collectors and other shooters of these guns.What could be more "authenic" that having a repro in it`s original
chambering rather than a caliber that never was used in the original? Not to mention the fact that if ammo were available once again people that own originals like myself would love to be able to shoot them as well.
i believe that if arrangements could be reached between the gun makers and your company in that they would make the guns with their original calibers as options and you in turn make the ammo available i think it would be a boost in sales for both. I ask both of you to do this.
The gun makers offer the guns in their original calibers as a limited trial. You in turn make a limited run of the ammo. you both market the availablity of guns and ammo and see how it works. I believe you will find a gold mine has been discovered.
About 20 yrs ago i wrote a letter to your company asking that you concider making various rimfire ammo available again for people like myself who own antiques and would love to shoot them if ammo were available.My letter made it into the hands of someone { can`t recall who}
but he was a higher up in the company at the time.
He wrote me back saying he personally thought i had a good idea and he had presented my idea before the board and they turned it down saying they did`nt believe there was enouht of a market out there
Well things have changed quite a lot since then and i think that my idea might be worth concideration once again. I hope you agree as well.

Sincerely,
Robert Heins
