    We are taking my Dad on his FIRST African Safari!!!

    Great job on putting this together. I tried to get my dad to go. Mom wasn’t willing to allow any mounts on a wall so he never went. Then it got too late and his health went. He passed away 3 1/2 yrs ago. I still have an impulse occasionally to pick up the phone and call him………… Enjoy the...

    Barnes TSX review

    Run the TTSX's fast and they work great. The AB's are also good bullets when you can't get the Swifts. The TSX's seem to be a "harder" bullet. Bruce

    Omay North Concession awarded to MARTIN PIETERS SAFARIS

    Interesting first post @Redfish64. Perhaps you'd care to enlighten us? Posts like yours are somewhat frustrating to many of us. The only way I know to find out the truth is to ask online or to meet with the folks in question in person. The former may be not be the most objective, but the truth...

    Got my first elk hunt this year - Help me pick a cartridge

    I’ve been fortunate to kill close to 4 dozen elk. Many were with a .270 and a 150 gr bullet. Now days I usually consider my 7 SAUM as a minimum. I’d suggest dropping the 6.5 PRC from the list and any of the others will do just fine. If I was expecting my shot under 300 yds I’d use the 06. Longer...
