Based on various comments here, I doubt a lot of forum members that shoot only rat calibers like a .375 can shoot my .500 NE accurately/comfortably ;) let alone a tracker that hardly fires a rifle. So, the answer in my case is a big no.

I quit going to Mexico for vacation about a decade ago. I used to do the yearly Newport to Ensenada sailboat race until a few years ago and quit doing that as well after an incident at Ensenada.

The only issue I have with a Russian hunt is that they might decide that they need more American hostages and arrest more people.

If they replace Biden with someone else other than Kamala or another black politician then Democrats will lose the black vote. That was the deal Biden made, a black female to succeed him. Unless he gets a stroke or something I doubt he will be replaced without his consent. At this point he...

I wonder if they will try to blame Israel.

One time I was charged by an elephant the PH was blocked by his tracker. I was the one that stopped it at about 15 yards.

No way in hell I would hunt with a Ranger that has a loaded rifle. I make sure at the beginning of each hunt that the Ranger has an unloaded gun. An AK-47 round is just going to piss off an elephant or a buffalo not to mention he/she would most likely shoot us then the animal. Heck, I don't...

Chart is correct. Average and total for the year is less in 2020 than 2019 if you drill down. Main reason was Covid and work at home policies that reduced demand. Still, it did not get cut by half when Biden took over. :unsure: I don't care for Biden and his policies. That being said, he does...

^^^ This. I will not hunt DG with an empty rifle, and have never been asked either. Usually load up once off the truck and unload prior to getting back to the truck. Also, way too much noise loading the rifle to do it during the stalk, noise carries. Now, on RSA game farms it might not be an...

Actually, 2020 was less than 2019.

The chart is from EIA, US Energy Information Administration site. I guess it being a government site it is not that accurate? :unsure: Killing the Canadian pipeline (which has nothing to do with oil production) or banning new drilling would not immediately cut production by half in a week by...

Doesn't seem to be cut by half in 2021 let alone the first week.

Actually, women are allowed drive everywhere in Gulf countries now seeing Saudi Arabia allowed it as of 2018. And they do not need a male relative to be with them while driving.

Longest shot I have taken was 60 yards, shortest about 50. It really depends on the terrain.

I went the double route after .500 and .458 custom bolt rifles a few years ago for big bore hunting.
