I'll not forget why you died my friend, my "brother". You are in my heart forever. Semper Fi.

A great documentary, one that I was vaguely aware of before. My ex father in law flew B-17's over Germany in WWII. He was Jewish and I used to tease him about getting shot down, "Fred, what would you do on the way down?" "Throw my dog tags away", "Hell, with that nose it would do no good". A...

Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery.

I write this from a VA hospital bed where I am recovering from a throat cancer operation. I won't be able to talk, making some folks happy...lol. But it is my leg that is the problem. Skin was taken to rebuild part of my throat and that included a nerve. It will improve but at present I can't...

Actually 2 new aspects. Why was there only one gun, if indeed that was the case. The client was disabled to a degree the PH doesn't want him/her along on the finish with a wounded buffalo. We don't know for sure there was only one gun. We do know the client was disabled. That hits home. I'm...

Next year will be my first trip to Africa and first to hunt Buffalo. My PH says Barnes TSX or Swift A-Frames for my 416 Rigby. I'll still have solids that I hope to not have to use. Years of guiding in the mountains of N. New Mexico for elk, mule deer and occasional bear or lion I learned what...

Anything in 416 Rigby?

One of the reasons ex #2 liked AC/DC...lol. She would also tell you when she hunted she wasn't looking for horns, she was looking for balls. She became weird, I became gone...lol.

Great report and a great trip. I'm looking forward to hunting with Game 4 next Sept.

Menudo, a hangover breakfast. I lived in Northern New Mexico for some 20+ years, never had, never plan on having. Ah now Boudin and raw oysters along with mud bugs, mon cher that be one good eat. Yea I lived down there in the Cajun part of TX before moving to NM. My first ex. was Cajun and...

I used a 300 WM for years, beat hell out of that Rem. 700 BDL and the Leupold scope in saddle scabbard, truck, and just walking the mountains. I hit on the right load early and it never failed to to at worst cut 3 bullet holes touching at 100 with one often barely traceable. That rifle accounted...

I acquired a BSA in 308 from a Navaho friend in the early 70's. Yes that extremely loud muzzle brake. Very light and one could shoot one handed, if not expecting to hit anything...lol. Invariably what was a nice group would suddenly start to walk. Whatever collector value, if any, was ruined by...

Yep!

When I go next Sept. it will be the same thing I've always worn, a beat up cowboy hat. Minus the shiny USMC globe & anchor pin while in the field.

Speedy recovery and thanks to a couple of brave trackers.
