    I've never gone through Istanbul with a firearm, but I've been to Turkey and Istanbul quite a few times. A stop over in Istanbul is very affordable and lots of fun. For those concerned with safety, the police are firmly in control. Enjoy

    Any idea when this was produced? I didn't see a date in the credits, but guessing late 50s or 60s based on the clothing & helicopter. Looks very similar in production style to some of the Fred Bear programs I have seen.

    Thanks for the video! Hope you share more of these! Made me remember that first classic photograph appearing at the beginning of O'Connor's book "The Big Game Rifle", featuring Herb Klein along with his guide and a very nice ram he hunted in the Yukon with the .300 Wby Mag shooting 180 grain bullets very fast.

    We've got a bunch. We're just shorthanded and it is expensive to digitize. There's no real way to monetize them because KZread doesn't allow monetization of hunting. So, we need someone that would take it on as a passion project.

    I hunted on the Burchell farm a couple of weekends ago. Fred Burchell the older brother took us out. I grew up hunting in Africa, and I have honestly never experienced such a great experience as with Frontier Safaris. I highly recommended them. The boma is filled with memorabilia from previous hunters from all over the world, and they speak volumes!
