Yep. I was gonna snatch a pair and I don’t even carry binos.

Crap. Can’t snooze on this bunch

Cupcake? Really? I’ll give you the other one, yes. :cool:

I think that what’s often overlooked is relativity of costs. Is it silly to spend $800-$1000 on a hat? What if you make $10,000 to $20,000 a day? Some people on this forum make that. Several, I would wager. Inconsequential. If you make $200-$400 a day, would be completely...

First rate!

I must admit, I enjoy the repartee on this thread, with the occasional haymaker and invective comment thrown in for good measure. Hail fellow well met! :cool:

Met Bashaw at DSC get together at @mdwest house , and we talked about his upcoming elephant hunt. Good guy! Great job, and congratulations!

Just like this for me. Model 70. 458 Lott. Irons.

Zim with D and Y for tuskless and buffalo in September. A little tiger fishing if time allows. July in Argentina for ducks and whatever.

“Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” T.R. ( Comes in handy when walking in on elephants...

Well said. I lost my Dad way too young. Was almost 40 years ago. Think of him daily.

Very nice! Love that area

I realize that I live in Texas. Things are different other places. I’m also employed in the oil and gas industry, on the service side. I DON’T PERSONALLY KNOW A SINGLE DEMOCRAT THAT IS A USER OF GUNS OR A HUNTER. ( Other than gang bangers and armed robbers, who I’ll agree lean Democrat)...

Something of Value Uhuru. Ruark. A couple of my favorites.

Pack an ice chest as full of frozen fish as possible. Fill up any spare space in the cooler with your dirty clothes for the trip home. Bring a roll of duct tape to the airport with you. Sometimes they want to see in the cooler. Once it’s approved, tape the lid shut tight. Go all the way...

Texas. I’d prefer Texas

I have been an avowed " cut off your nose to spite your face" kinda guy pretty much all of my life. Can't say its always served me well, but it's made me feel better about myself. That said, in order to take that position, you must have some (or something to) leverage. That's what seems to...

Say “I’ll take it”. Contact the seller via private message. Work out the details. Do your due diligence. To me, that would mean a trip to Denham Springs, Louisiana with cash to pick it up in person. Jazzfest is coming up next weekend in NOLA. Sounds like a great trip to me

Well Canuck, can always count on you to inject a little levity into the conversation. :cool:

My view from my tent…. Wayne’s camp

Hah! Organ-Doner machine! Sweet. Got off my bike at 55ish. Never did lay it down. Considered myself fortunate. Got into a ‘Vette like a lot of guys my age, thinking it would scratch the itch. Nah. Although I always had the feeling that it was about to throw me into a tree. Kinda...

Sengwa Research Area with Mokore Safaris. Elephant, buffalo and plains game mixed bag. The 458 Lott , unscoped on the right, for the ele. The 375 H&H for the remainder.

I’m partial.

Tell us about that double.

That thing would go completely through my skull. :cool:

Have you actually shot that Lott with that scope?

3 days is more than enough. Take in the falls. High tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel. Lunch at The Lookout Cafe. Snatched an invite to the Victoria Falls Boat Club last time there. Enjoyed dinner there. The Portuguese chicken was outstanding. Shopping can be an adventure in the curio...

That’s a helluva sable!

Howdy from Texas

Safari Arms in NY loaded these for me. Published velocity was 2350 IIRC. Never checked against chrony. I don’t know powder or charge.

This one went through about 10 ft of elephant. Rooter to tooter. 450g CEB. 458 Lott

I‘ve done it myself and it was no biggie. That said, I was the last one out of the SAP room. I‘ve used services multiple times and it is much better. So much better, I would say penny wise and pound foolish not to. The last two trips over, my guy did all the paperwork and inspection and...

3 oz Tangueray 1 oz Stoli 1 cap vermouth, spoon of olive juice, 3 blue cheese olives. 4 drops Angustora bitters. It’s what’s for dinner.

All dip and pack goes to USDA facility. Just got stuck with that adder last week. USDA clearance fee of $312.28. And they did the tanning as well. Two skins. Two skulls.

Not that I’ve taken that many, but I’ve never recovered an arrow intact from a hog. That damn shield over their shoulders is no joke. I carry one arrow dedicated to pigs when I’m deer hunting. Fixed blade G5 without a Luminock. You can usually hear them coming and have time to swap arrows.

You are right about that. I’m always in a tree with my little stick and string. Range is limited. And I’ll tell you, a pig is hard to kill with a bow. They are constantly moving, even when staying in the same spot.

Never shot a wild hog here in Texas that I didn’t eat and enjoy. I will say that some are better than others.

This was a 1917 Remington

A few years back I found myself in Dealey Plaza late of an afternoon. Not many people around. Very little traffic. The retaining wall where Zapruder stood as he shot his video is still there, as are many other landmarks; ie trees, lampposts, etc. I climbed up on the wall and stood just as...

OU? I’m trying to figure out a creative way to turn that into “irrelevant”, but I’m at a loss for words…… :cool:

Tholo is cool for kudu and eland. No dangerous game though. At least that I saw or was aware of ( Other than leopard) Coutada 9 in Mozambique is excellent for plains game Ele, lion and buffalo as well. That would check all your boxes. Mokore safaris. I have done a plains game hunt...

Whoever has Sengwe Research area now. When I hunted there it was with Mokore. I think it’s with CMS right now.

Hah! Had a tree lounge! Great for rifle I suppose, but scariest stand ever for bow. Easy to fall out.

Well, KMA. Never crossed my mind to store a rifle muzzle down.

I’ve bought all kinds of gaiters, as I only hunt in shorts. Custom made buffalo, zip ups, Velcro closures, you name it. ( Avoid the Velcro seamed ones at all costs. You’re welcome.). Settled on the Boyt slip on canvas. Best fitting, most comfortable, and probably the cheapest. Work...

Last day of an Ohio bow hunt several years back. Drove from camp to the spot where we were parking, about 5 miles. We got out and started to get our climbers out as well as our bows. I then realized that I had neglected to put my Hunter‘s Safety system vest back in my bow case. Crap. No...

Hunted a wonderful area along the Umkomass River in KwaZulu Natal. Completely free range. Kudu, bushbuck, impala, Nyala. Mountainous area, lots of glassing across canyons. Beautiful. Also, the Midland Meander is close by, provides a nice break for the missus.
