    Purchases On AH References

    .22 rimfire is a great starter. Please expound on your name and where you are from and what you do instead of hunting currently

    Would you mount a Female Cape Buffalo?

    If it was to remember something special about that hunt or special horns-yes I would! Otherwise it would be a euro mount. There was a hunting video of a cow that when standing her horns dropped clear to the ground-and I’ve seen it other places as well (books, internet maybe)-but if I got a...

    Semi-Autos and Public Ranges

    I shoot on blm public property and the ar crowd are simply awful. They will unload an old console tv or washing machine, get twenty yards away from it and unload clip after clip into the old appliance. Then they leave without taking the “target” with them. There are other similar issues...

    Wanted Left Hand .375 H&H

    There is or was a left handed .375 available in the cabelas gun room. It did not have sights hence my question-could they be added. I think it is still available

    Left Hand A-Bolt .375 H&H

    Those personal touches will be up to my brother. It is easy to cerakote the stainless parts to black if he wants and lots of “stock options” available. If it was me I would send it to Accurate Innovations for a good custom walnut stock and would cerakote it. But it is set up for Alaska really...

    Left Hand A-Bolt .375 H&H

    I did some googling before I expressed interest. My own experience is that longer barrels CAN produce higher velocity but I have not had chance to tinker with a long barrel in .375 anything. My own .375 wby mag has a shorter barrel and I am certain it “slows me down.” This doesn’t bother me...

    Left Hand A-Bolt .375 H&H

    I have not owned a browning rifle before. This one will stay tucked away until Christmas and then my brother will have to find a scope for it to his liking. I have ammo and components for it tho, so am eager to see what kind of accuracy we can produce. I loved the longer barrel on it, have...

    Capes For Sale

    Might be helpful if you post the “trophy pix” as well so we can see what the animal looked like before shedding its skin. I also thought mule deer cape until I scrutinized the ears

    Left Hand A-Bolt .375 H&H

    I purchased this rifle with intention of giving it to my brother. The experience was seamless and NeverBeen was very good to work with. Would be happy to purchase from him again or just sit and visit. Great that this site brings people together the way it does.

    Public Land Tag Draw

    Governors tags and auction tags and even some outfitters can get tags to sell but they are very expensive

    A great gift for a great dad

    Does he fish as well as hunting? Magazine subscription or a good book? I’ll bet sue Tidwell would make a nice note in one of hers for your dad

    Public Land Tag Draw

    Tinker around with “Hunter’s Trailhead” and if you do draw a tag check into ONX maps on your phone it is a lifesaver. I have found Wyoming and Nebraska to be very non resident friendly. But premium tags come at premium cost in dollars and years expended, so best of luck!

    Atlantic Salmon Flies

    Wheatley swing leaf box. Rabbit hole-I used to raise grey jungle fowl and still have several necks for my own use. They were noisy and could be difficult to propagate but were fascinating to raise- Knowing the intricacies of those flies makes them true treasures and pieces of art!

    Family trip in 26

    If I read this correctly you are looking for suggestions. I have hunted with Game4Africa twice and going back next year for number three. I did the South Africa spiral horn slam there which was fun. These are east cape kudu bulls but difficult and fun to hunt just like all kudu. Nice lodge...
