I wish I had the money for just one of your hunts, love this channel

Those trackers are amazing

The 577 spoke,..... my day is made.

Awesome episode, always great to see you in action in Africa

Awesome video..

Awesome video 👍🏾

Alain I love your shows man, loved those Markhor hunting videos from Pakistan. Hope to meet you in Seattle someday

That's a beautiful cat fish and excellent eating! As always an excellent video and presentation!!!

Great as always. Love the way you captured the fun around camp, bringing the ladies along, and the nod to anti-poaching sponsored by hunters being a key to conservation. Looks like someone wants in on a Methuselah medal?

Cool video 👍 👍😎

@@JAlainSmith OK, here you have answered my question of three minutes ago. It must have begun life as a Black Powder Express, and then been subsequently re-proofed for the .577 "light nitro" load, of 75 grains Cordite and the 650 grain bullet. Do you use Woodleighs? What powder do you use, and how much? Thanks, Alain

@@pamtnman1515 Correct on the build. I do not use Woodleighs too much expansion and not enough penetration in my rifle. I have my 577 ammo loaded by Choice Ammunition and they have the "formula" so I am not sure on powders etc.Barnes bullets.

@@JAlainSmith ok thank you. I can always contact Choice. Your Alex Henry has the very unusual and highly desirable arrangement of being built as a curvy BPE, with the updated strength of a modern “nitro” gun. I have a similar one made by Westley Richards in 1891, and visited with the original owner’s family in England a couple years ago. To get photos of trophies taken with it in India. I am aware of one other similar rifle, a double Holland & Holland that lacks the nitro proofs, but which Sherman Bell tested and wrote about in a DGJ article some years ago. I tried to buy it, unsuccessfully, and I felt fortunate to get the WR, as you feel about your Alex Henry. These rare guns bridge both the old black powder and modern smokeless worlds. Thank you again for your neat videos

Alain, what kind of double is Dillon using? The bullets in his belt look super long, like a .475 #2 long.

I think it's a .22 hornet .

Please tell us more about your .577 double rifle, Alain. A couple months ago you wrote (on a different video...sorry, I am not trying to stalk or henpeck you) that it is an 1887, which would make it a Black Powder Express. It must have been subsequently re-proofed for nitro. But it is doubtful a sleek BPE stock and frame would handle the full and exceptionally stout load of the classic .577, which is 100 grains Cordite and a 750 grain bullet. Is your rifle the "light nitro" load of 75 grains Cordite and a 650 grain bullet? If so, it is a kind of Holy Grail of sporting rifles, in my opinion. Not a whole lot of hammerless boxlock double rifles like that in existence. EDIT: Ok, some of my question was answered below. But I have so many questions!

@@JAlainSmith my body can take it, and yes, I like it. Does your rifle have a tiger engraved on the trigger guard? I’ll bet it started life in 1887 as a tiger rifle for a British officer stationed in India. An 1884 Alex Henry .500 BPE double rifle in my care also was a tiger rifle in India. The stock head was soaked in oil, dry rotted, and had to be rebuilt with copious amounts of epoxy.

@@JAlainSmith years ago I purchased a neat .577 double rifle with the intention of hunting feral pigs and bison with it. That Westley Richards was made in 1891 as a BPE for tiger and other big game hunting in India. It was rebarreled in 1921 for the same light nitro 75/650 your Alex Henry shoots. Wonderful gun. With a tiger on the trigger bow 😺

That looks like a long chew

I looks like you pull rear trigger first. Is the front trigger articulated, I would doubt it on a gun of that age. Would hate to experience a double fire with that gun!

Dunno about anyone else, but seeing the PH with his rifle swung over his back on a sling realy makes my hair stand up. The most dangerous of big game,( Hippo, Buffalo ) in thick brush, sling to get hung up on branches etc , just when you need it most. Death sentance right there. yikes.

Ever tried smoking hippo meat? I’ve heard it tastes like bacon
