Good God that is s thick bull.

Oops, isn't. True, there will always be a better mouse trap for everything. My mother is a little recoil shy, that's why I bought her the .243. she is nearly 70 now. Now that rifle is known as Grandma's rife.

30 years ago I bought my mother a .243 to replace he 30-30. She is maybe 5 ft tall and 125lbs at best. No one, will out shoot her on opening day of Wisconsin deer hunting. Anything within 250 yards of her deer stand is dead. 100gn Nosler Partitions will knock a whitetail on its ass. I'm fairly...

Take Nighthawks advise. No need to bring the fancy Sitka stuff.

One more thing, get some #5 lead or bismuth for that shotgun and you'll stone pheasant all day.

I have a Fausti Dea, without the side plates, that I bought about 4 years ago. They are nice shooters, especially in the 20 bore. If you paid $1400 for that shotgun, you got a great deal. I bought my Dea and paid $4000 new.

I too had a lot a questions about the CBP 4457. I hired the good people at riflepermits.com. They made the process really simple. Keep in mind. Emirates airline will also require a copy of your CBP 4457 to fly with them along with a letter of invitation from your PH, 30 days out, no less than...

"Elite Hunting Outfitters"

This thread is an ever growing place of misinformation and/or a rumor mill at its finest. Yes, some of these companies may be anti hunting, or at least was last week. Or they may be anti hunting next month, but only on Tuesday ending odd numbers. They point is, is that you will never really...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I'm a big fan of the Model 70 CFR rifles for sure. Just finished up a double cow cull hunt with my Model 70 in 375h&h. I also like the performance of the Barnes Vor-TX 300gn.
