I use one at the range all the time. I don’t use one in the field hunting big game since the adrenaline is enough to dampen the recoil! The magnum size it too thick imo as it will change your effective lop The one exception to use in the field is high volume dove shooting in Argentina- you...

Very nice, I would love to find one in 25-06 if you have one as well?

In the past when I would use sat phones Irridium seamed to have the better service. Now that I have the InReach I just use that all the time. Easy enough to check in, though harder to have a conversation via text. Then as mentioned WiFi calling is nice

With recent interest in hunting Elephants- If you could have your ideal Rifle set up for Elephants what would it be? Which rifle, sight/scope, and caliber/cartridge would you choose?

And here I thought people who go to the Caribbean were hunting margaritas in the bar and heiney on the nude beaches!

Looks like you have done some research! Have a hunt booked?

From my limited Elephant research is seems Zimbabwe has good prices, possibly smaller tusks? Botswana has a great reputation for lots of elephants. Zambia and Tanzania are just really expensive to hunt, travel to, but do have the chance at huge bulls. I have seen good things about Namibia which...

I have seen elephant prices all over the place from $5,000 tuskless/problem animals up to your mentioned $100,000 hunt. For $100K I would expect a big trophy 60#++ and also a buffalo and lots of other plains game thrown in gratis! The big difference is price for a lot of these hunts is...

Which country do you prefer? Say for a buffalo hunt, or maybe an Elephant? With a few plains game as an option. Do they both have English speakers? Ease of travel? How do they compare- on whatever criteria you want?

Link to the write up on your hunt? If not please do share when, where etc !

How does a cow Rhino compare to a male? Body size? Horn length? I have never thought of it before….. Also what dates would work for this hunt?

Are these elephants importable to the US?

If going to RSA don’t worry and use Henry @Rifle permits. Do what he says. If traveling more exotic airlines then uniformed ticketing agents will be the biggest concern. Especially if connecting in a liberal big city (Europe ) where guns are evil! One thing to watch was the limit on weight of...

Where are you from? And what are you planning to hunt? Local air taxis can be particular about who and where they drop people depending on what they are doing. Also many local air taxis, especially for hunts have gone to the flat rate model and are charging a lot more for trips, especially...

I would say Greenland was one of my best hunting trips I have ever been on. Definitely would recommend it. AK caribou can be hit or miss.... more miss lately. If you have realistic expectations and not picky on what you shoot then it can still be ok.
