@grand veneur - many Women will agree with You (same as No reason to be larger then a B cup)

@SRvet - Agree with the exception of “I AM IMPRESSED by the Caliber”. A .600NE doesn’t even need to be fired to be IMPRESSIVE. And the very few Men that can handle it (Women can sit this one out) are to be admired.

@Vinageguy - you reminded me of another reason why I hate those big pheasant “Drives” —- all the shooting at ONE bird and multiple Hunters yelling “I Got it”. Regarding “slamming a car door”, the first time I saw that was hunting in Kansas in 1993 (back when Kansas still had Wild Pheasants) -...

@grand veneur - OK, maybe my Land Sale was a poor example — so I’ll yield to your Example with the add that it’s Not being Honest, it’s “deceit”, deliberate omission of relevant information, creates a false impression, lack of full disclosure, ===== a LIE or very close to it. Now, if you can’t...

@1dirthawker: I think you’re right - He just Missed and missed a lot — edited the video too. So if that “edited” version also shows only the “Best” shooting —- it’s REALLY BAD Shooting !!

@Rolly - AGREE and I’ve missed plenty - including Buffalo in TZ with my .470NE, I think I started “flinching” and was shooting over top of the buff….as hard as it was to admit missing a 50 yrd shot on standing buffalo —— I didn’t blame the ammo !! The guy in that video just can’t shoot that...

@Carnivore hunter - poor shooting, regardless of caliber, will never kill an animal. I also think he missed…and missed a lot - maybe 1/2 his shots hit nothing but air. When you watch the video, the first shot the guy takes knocks him backwards and down the hill ! I’m guessing he “Flinched” a...

@Vintageguy - never fooled and most guys with good dogs that have hunted Wild pheasant can often (not always) tell the difference. Not on a single flush and maybe not on those Block & Drive hunts…. Best example of “Wild” is when you drive up to a remote 500+ acre stubble cornfield, no one is...

@grand veneur - in the context of what we are discussing (hunting High Fence “self sustaining vs. Supplementing”) You wrote “Not revealing your Business practices is Not dishonesty” —- ? Omitting relevant information is deceptive, getting very close to a “lie” and if the client asked the...

@Wishfulthinker580 - I’ve been told by several PHs both from SA and in TZ that “Every” operator in SA does some “supplementing” or Put & Take (buying and Adding game animals) on their properties. I don’t have first hand knowledge but it makes sense to see that would be required and especially...

@Hunt anything - what are you referring to regarding “farmed whitetail” …”where their only impediments are how far their legs will take them”? Do you mean farmed whitetail with NO fences?

@grand veneur - does a “Fence” make a difference or distinction? Is there a difference between “raising” animals in an enclosure or captive breeding program and then Releasing into the Wild —- a completely UNfenced area - where they may roam wherever they want, and are exposed to all other...

@Hunter-Habib @PerH @Hunter-Habib - Regardless of what your thoughts are on Mark Sullivan (and I included Hunter Habib on this for a reason) WATCH this video for the first few minutes as he shoots a buffalo very close on a full charge. Pay close attention to his LEFT Hand and his “fingers” as...

@Safari Dave - not sure I understand you point? Or if you are just venting frustration which I can relate too (and agree with) as every generation sees less & less wild land to hunt on. But your post does not seem related to the OP and Video he shared - “native people” wearing “Nike & Adidas”...

@Vintageguy - good chart and interesrting. I know with Whitetail deer their Home range varies greatly and bucks may spend most of their time on only one sq mile (640 acres) and many will require less then 1/2 of that depending on cover and food. However, during the Rut whitetail bucks can...
