Been there, done that!! Multiple times actually. Sent from my SM-T738U using AfricaHunting mobile app

Welcome Aboard!!! I haven't been to Africa yet either, but the hope is strong. And beware, big bore fever is strong here!

I'm glad to hear you're moving up. Your sense of humor will carry you far. I have a friend who lost both of his legs at the kneevf from an electrocution. First words out when he woke up and found out was " Look how much I am going to save on shoes!" Positive attitude is key.

After 40 years of rotorhead maintenance I have come to several conclusions. Never trust that the pilot or aircrew have a clue about how the aircraft works (this would be Marine Corps, Navy, Army, and Coast Guard and I would venture to guess the same applies to Army because, Officers) Only...

Good to see that you are going better! Still praying for you. How about "Hop-a-longhunter"?

You are going to be my prayers. Like the song says if you are going through Hell keep on going and you might get out before the devil knows you're there.

Welcome Aboard

Welcome aboard from Perquimans county. There seems to be quite a few of us here from NC. Beware, Big Bore Fever is strong here

waiting for good answers on this myself. I just picked up my first red dot (Leupold delta pro plus) and kind of curious about the best way to sight in.

Sorry to hear about your father. I am sure he would say his best accomplishment was his children. God bless and comfort you during this time.

Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina!!

I joined the Corps to escape coal mines so I understand where you are coming from.

If there is a spoon in the coffee, the coffee must be considered contaminated. My coffee preference will eat the bottom out of armour plate, black as the heart of a redical feminazi, and hot enough to scald Satan. Sent from my SM-T738U using AfricaHunting mobile app

I have been in aviation maintenance for 40 years now, organizational, intermediate, and depot, along with prototyping. I have always been amazed how many engineers there are who have never TOUCHED an aircraft. I am under the belief that most of the problems we are having with Beoing is...

Methinks that your problem may actually be in the safety. If you have the safety on the bolt should be locked and you should be unable to open it. This makes me think that the safety is stuck in the on position, which would prevent the bolt from closing. Make sure that the safety is truly on or...

Here are some more prayers coming for you. May you and your family emerge stronger from this horrible struggle.

Wow, 300 plus comments/statements concerning Rolex watches on a hunting forum! That is why I love this place! I have learned a whole bunch. My daily wear watch is a Garmin "smart watch " that is smarter than me. My wife got it so that my heartbeat and respiration could be tracked for the...

1 CZ 550 in .416 Rigby. I am still trying to convince my sweetheart that I need a .375 H&H and a .458 Lott but she keeps asking why. my answer, squirrel and watermelons!

My weirdest, spookiest hunting encounter involved no critters at all. It was in 1980, I was 15, and the day after Thanksgiving. The hills and hollers of West Virginia are full of tales of "haints" and "boogers" and our family farm hillside contained a "haint" as my Grandmother told it. A "haint"...

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome Aboard!

Been wondering that for years. How in the world does a rapcrap bunch get in before a rocker? I can stretch the envelope some for Dolly being put in because she is Dolly Parton, dammit. But rap?

Welcome

Welcome aboard!

I gave up on the NFL when Tom Landry got fired. My kids were all into college football so I did watch a lot of that. As long as Marshall looses I am happy. Sent from my SM-T738U using AfricaHunting mobile app

So sad to hear this. I greatly enjoyed the Major's stories here. May he rest in peace.

I have had two 3.5 inch 12 gauge magnums, and they both went away for two reasons. Both were pumps (one a Mossburg and the other was a Browning) and my arms were just to damn short for the operation and I could see nothing gained for the length and recoil. My .416 Rigby is much more forgiving on...

What a tragedy! Prayers for his family. May the poacher rot in hell.

Welcome, and Congratulations

Welcome aboard!!

My .416 Rigby with the old non-bonded DGX work great from any angle on whitetail. The largest deer I shot with them was a complete passthrough from rear to front with a very little expansion but a dramatically dropped deer. The Bonded DGX act like a solid on a deer.

Welcome Aboard! You will learn plenty here.

I will probably add .325 WSM or more likely, another .45 Colt

Fixing helicopters. Been a rotorhead for the last 40 years, twenty years active duty in the Marine Corps, and then as contract maintenance for general aviation, and the last 18 years working for the Coast Guard fixing their toys.

Welcome aboard!!!

Get the best plugs you can get! Years of aircraft engines and rotorblades, along with gunfire and radar cooling fans, have left their mark on my ears. This is WITH using my Marine Corps issued and Coast Guard supplied hearing protection. Hearing aids are a must for me to tell where a sound is...

Congratulations!! Daddy's little girl will be the light of your life!

I have several friends who have ended their lives in helo crashes over the years. Sad truth about what we do ( or did) for keeping the spear sharp. Semper Fi Brothers, Fair winds and following seas

Fair Winds and Following Seas Safarikidd! 53 is too young to check out. Prayers for him is family.

Welcome Aboard!!! Be prepared to catch Big Bore fever here and enjoy the great depths of knowledge, fun, and just plain good folks. Been a rotorhead for the last 40 years myself, repairing everything that the Marine Corps had and now everything the Coast Guard now has.

Welcome aboard from coastal North Carolina!

Prayers for you brother. keep positive and get that buffalo!

Congratulations on a beautiful rifle. I have been trying to make my smarter half understand that I need one in .275 Rigby. Enjoy!

I think he was slightly undergunned

Get well soon. my family is praying for you

Just wondering how God granted me this morning with this view. Watched squirrels, crows, an owl, and even saw the tail of a whitetail disappear. Here I am, covered in mud from one swampy misstep, not a shot even attempted, and happy as a hot hog in cool mud.

Welcome Aboard!!!

Welcome aboard from Eastern NC!!
