@cash_tx Sex is mind over matter. If she don't mind it don't matter. Bob

@Ridge Runner. Fortunately I'm married so no longer need to hunt females. Like yourself I may be past my prime but it's no use hunting females it's far to dangerous. Besides that at my age my new midnight is now 9pm. After that I turn back into a pumpkin. When hunting game in Australia it...

@btheis13 I don't know about female zebra being bigger This is my stallion. Now he his beeeg. My son's female gemsbok was a cull animal but she had nice 40" horns, where as the make I shot had 38" horns. The males were considerably thicker than the female BUT BOTH were good quality in my books. Bob

@Longwalker I would definitely NOT describe giraffe as thin skinned after seeing the hide come off one. Bob

@Pheroze There's only one thing better than a 35 Whelen and that's A 400 WHELEN. Even more of an already good thing. Bob

@BigSteve57 I agree with your logic But to me availability doesn't enter into it. That's why I reload and have a bucket full of components for my cartridge choices. The rounds I have settled on are unfortunately reloaders choices and not commonly available. Even store bought rounds for my once...

@BigSteve57 I thought so. @Peterwho is a pretty good shot and both animals were shot at the same distance with the same placement and same Remington factory projectiles PSPCL. In the federal blue box with 100gn soft points I have seen mixed results in goats and Roo's from working extremely...

@PCC600 I KNOW BUT rush to get to Katherine to start our 3 month holiday Bob

@BigSteve57 At times it's both. Wrong projectiles and a person who can't shoot as well as they think.. I've seen good shooters fail with the wrong projectiles and bad shooters fail with the right projectiles. I've also seen good shooters fail with the right projectiles. Not everyone is perfect...

@PCC600 Unfortunately the closest I will get to you in the near future is Charleville in my way to Broome in June. But we will make it happen one day Bob

@Tintin The flying squad take an even dimmer view of everything. No sense of humour those blokes A fellow truck driver got pulled over and asked to blow in the bag for an alcohol test. When they asked him if he would under go a drug test he decided to have a bit of fun to lighten the moment. He...

@PCC600 Wish I had known you were in Brivegas mate. I would have tried to organise to see you when I was up there less than two months ago. I caught up with @rdog again and I can assure you he is a really top bloke so is @Rule 303, I caught up with him previously and we chewed the fat and told...

Just had a new knife made for my son by my good friend ted Mitchell. Nitro V blade and white mircarta scales. Bob

@CBH Australia Chris Sambar aren't armour plated mate. The last one I shot was with my Savage in big standard 270 win before I rebarreled it to the Whelen. It was loaded with 130gn ACPs at a bit over 3,100fps. He was slightly quartering away.One shot and he didn't even take a step, just...

@Red Leg I think you know enough about the Whelen now mate. I agree with you about the 87 grainers especially the VMax. When I started loading the 95gn SST and 100gn round nose the mates kill rate improved a lot. Those little 100gn round nose sue do a lot of damage to bigger pig and the...
