    African Huntin Boots

    Everyone appears to have a distinct viewpoint on this subject. In my opinion, I really like the 8" Jim Green boots with the African Ranger soles.

    Any other Cheese lovers here?

    I've consumed far too much dairy and cheese throughout my lifetime. Right now, dairy is my go-to comfort meal.

    My ammo cases are made of clear plastic. Be cautious, and simply adhere to the airline's regulations.

    First time big game hunter - should I start with an African safari?

    In my opinion, An African hunt with a patient and capable PH seems like a perfect place to start.

    Heck of a gift

    What a wonderful friend you are, and what a lovely gift! Personally, I prefer to leave it alone and add a vintage Leupold.

    Scope Setting for Cape Buffalo?

    Easy: just keep it at 1x. As soon as you realize you need more, turn the intensity up a little and shot. I have never adjusted the power settings for the giraffe at 80 yards.

    Do hides and horns have to go to usda facility?

    All incomplete trophies, I've been told, must be sent to a facility approved by the USDA. I know you should be able to have it transported to your house if you so choose, but that doesn't always happen.

    Dangerous Game Hunting and the case for bigger not always being better

    An effective bullet must be placed correctly. The 270 grain has not been discussed in this conversation if we are only discussing Barnes. A prudent and secure option is 375.

    Is Blaser Trying To Price Themselves Out Of The American Market???

    Although I've always thought I'd like to try a Blaser, the cost doesn't seem worth it to me. I can get a rifle with a synthetic stock and my specs produced for less money than a Blaser if I plan ahead.

    thats why I dont like doubles (have one)

    The bull rider received his eight seconds from the PH wearing the blue jacket, at which point the PH killed the animal. This demonstrates how much we depend on a PH in stressful situations.
