Politely disagree. From Texas to Africa

Good stuff, glad it worked out. Please share your success you have in September

I used Titus as my POC at yellow shark to pick up my father and I’s trophies in Windhoek. We spoke on multiple options and he gave me his opinion on brokers and entry destinations. (I was surprised on the shipping price - a good surprise :cool:(y)) He worked great and stayed in contact with...

Ya that bull in your profile picture is heavy! Well done my friend

I find an Americans tend to shoot female oryx more. Want longer horn for a shoulder mount to look impressive on the wall. While Europeans enjoy shooting old bulls with big pearling bases and don’t care about length as much. The trophy tends to be the mass and secondary growth of an old male...

So a 300gr Norma oryx is to weak for buff???? I give up lol. Ya, you would be fine and the buffalo would be dead. Good bullet. Does it mushroom more than a swift a frame? You bet! I’m sure you would find it on off side skin just like anything else… Best

These are incredible. Used them on first trip in Namibia. 300-400 yard shots standing and quick. Email them and they can ship to US np

Wow that is great news!! It sounded like it was going to be much worse all leading up! post pics when you get them home.

Wow, I’m sorry you are getting messed around with. I hope it all works out and you can get your memories home with out never wanting to hunt Africa again… I would absolutely be livid with coppersmith if I were you. What a racket. I reached out to them to bring my first safari home and...

that is a blanket statement! The hornady CX (formerly gmx) is a mono metal design and is perfect for Africa. I have found them to perform exactly like Barnes. Would be a good choice in the slim pickings offered in 7mm prc factory loads.

Oh I was asking about yours! That ya a 340 weatherby with no break. That will be perfect hammer for all antelopes

is there a muzzle break on the .340?

Incorrect- Hand cut checkering and better blueing just to start… You should say you stand corrected! Have you seen the pressed checkering done on the post 64 model 88’s? It’s very ugly I wouldn’t be as polite if this was my listing and someone came and shouted incorrect information. GLWS...

Well the guts are just an automatic seiko so I guess Japanese. But yes put together in Macon, GA and made to be bombproof I think the name is an homage to the watch many were issued in the bushwar

Which one are you in the photo? That was All I asked…. besides being confused on tusk weight.

Which one are you? Did you hunt that elephant or just sharing photos?

I can’t believe that people are giving this “heart eyes”. Yall believe that is a 150lbs elephant???? Strange few posts in here

Are you the man in the sleeveless shirt?

Leland Reiner (BigCat Taxiderny) isn’t in Texas -But he seems to be one of the best cat guys in the US. Look at more of his stuff

You’re certain that’s not the exit? Entrance wounds can be tiny

A long one it seems! Curios if you measured. Beautiful trophy in every way

Did you see any nice bulls on your hunt with Mike?

Here are some I phone pics of an old one horned bull. Central Namibia cattle ranch bull 13x55 on this bull. Only animal measured @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS

Cmon “loose money” let it rip!

What the hell are you talking about

No - you are fine.

You can blame the hijacking on me. What a beast.

Massive sable - that’s the one you got with @spike.t correct?

They just might be too tight and narrow then. Could you send them back still? Armando’s boots in Raymondville TX. Check them out… But I know plenty of people who have had to send him boots back too. It happens I guess!

I see the point in asking around and especially asking here if someone has hunted or at least heard of. But say Boss safaris does get back to him- and say “ya, give this guy a call” and slides op a number to ring Useless in my opinion. Lots of confirmation bias in the safari world.

References from the outfitter are useless. Cherry picked clients. Unless you know them personally I wouldn’t trust someone else’s opinion that much.

That was quite the show hahah…. What happens when a wanna-be Instagram influencer and adult onset hunter was fully set on their ideas. She was completely consumed by marketing… I wonder if she is going to stick around.

For what it’s worth We hunt in Falfurrias, TX right in Nilgai country. My cousins vintage Full stock styer manlicher is always in the jeep when we go out cruising. I think if you had one it would fit In right down here in STX. I say go for it if you see a nice FS cz Side note because I saw it...

A 140 grain Barnes will brake both shoulders of a kudu and exit inside the off side when within 150 yards. Maybe you are not familiar with Barnes or monolithic bullet construction. That 180gr PMP will end up weighing 140 grains anyways.

Just makes no sense to me? A 140 or 150 TTSX fits fine and has full capacity. No issue and so very deadly.

Caprivi strip as many have said would fit your bill. I always see a lot of scrum caps killed all over the caprivi strip. Might be the German hunters that flock Namibia but also shows how many old bulls the strip carries. They also seem to have some very nice camps in the caprivi as you...

I would like a Barnes when hunting in brush. That’s just me.

But bullets the exact same diameter and same weight going the same speed just might be the same thing right? The animal doesn’t care about the stamp or case design And 9.5 twist will stabilize that bullet btw.

Thank you for clarifying for people. Shoot any ttsx out of that 7mm-08 and you will have a nice plains game safari. Have fun

With eland and water buck on the menu I would 100% take the Barnes with confidence. 140 accubond on water buck and eland just doesn’t sound like enough. Barnes will kill the small stuff dead just fine too.

You should check out Uganda. Good buff and lots of game for your wife to view.

I guess all the marketing Q, KB, Field Ethos does is working... Glad they are getting people interested in Africa. But the 8.6blk is not revolutionary for hunting by any means at all. I don’t see how it’s filling any needs. Just know that and look at the truths and not Instagram as much. I...

You!

What were average shot lengths? Asking because I wonder if the ballistic trajectory of 8.6 blk is ideal for Namibian terrain?

Why do you group zebra into that? No horns I guess? They are an excellent game animal to hunt and eat.

Very interested thanks
