Welcome to AH!

Eeesh, hell no! To this day I cannot even think of eating rabbit after picking one up shot earlier in the day to clean it and getting a palm full of worm working its way out of the poor thing. Instant barfing ensued. This was some 33 plus years ago.

And just to add, a CEB Raptor is awfully hard to beat if you absolutely want a pass thru. From a .375 or larger to make a big enough hole to ensure the hair doesn't plug up the bleeding would be perfect. Up close and personal hunting here, no need for excessive velocity. Perfect for slow...

Are these Canadian bears good for eating? I've only killed one and that was in North Carolina a couple years back. Those bears in Hyde County make a good living on peanuts and the meat was excellent.

Beautiful bear @Green Chile!

YT says video is private so I couldn't watch.

I'll take your word for it, but I'm not volunteering for the live ammunition test to be on the "friends" team.

Based on the video that @Red Leg posted, I'd say the answer to that question is no. I would have to imagine that the idea of sending a drone into combat that is under its own "thinking" is something that would be unsettling to any commander. To simply send one of these off with the goal of...

If that is total cost, or about $2900 per ticket, you'd be wise to book that as fast as your fingers can type it. I'd encourage you to use a TA, such as PWP travel as was recommended by @Altitude sickness a couple posts ago. They will make all the paperwork easier for you and have the...

For me the mind games come into play when you start thinking about the cross section of regulation and accuracy. The two are most certainly related, but are not the same thing. It's easy to get into a spiral of thinking and head off into the weeds. When it comes to doubles, we always look to...

Both Qatar and Emirates will tag you as having “special” checked luggage…. i.e. your firearms. They’re quite obsessed in ensuring your bags and you don’t get separated. Trust me, this is a good thing. It would be the last reason I’d be hesitant to use either. My flights with both put Delta...

Welcome to AH!

I will be staying at City Lodge in June for an overnight prior to next flight to Mozambique. We are using Henry Durrheim's Riflepermits.com for pre-approved transit permits. We have also paid for the VIP service to get us through passport control and over to the hotel. Someone will be coming...
