I realize the iPhone rules the "camera" world these days, however, for people who still enjoy classic photography and seeing their hunt through a proper camera, I wanted to mention the Fuji X-T2 (XT series). After years of trying to get my head around (unsuccessfully) mainstream, hi-tech, LCD...

My taxidermist in South Africa just let me know that Delta is apparently not accepting any Big 5 taxidermy for freight transport back to the USA. (I have 2 euro mount buffalo skulls there along with a variety of plains game euros, flat skins and buffalo hide leather.) Aside from the...

My 2024 resolution is to get a load developed for my Ruger No 1 300 H&H. Wonder if anyone could suggest bullets & powders they've had good experiences with in this rifle/caliber combo, (or just 300 H&H in general)? 180gr and 200gr Partitions are my go to's for 30 cal, but obviously plenty to...

I have a hunt planned for July with my 15 yr old son. His current passport is good through December. I've seen various articles saying the passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your return/exit trip date. The Dept of State website lists it as 30 days beyond your exit date. Is...

I just purchased my first 375 H&H, a new Winchester Mod 70. I’m wondering if there are specific scope mounting techniques used for heavy recoiling rifles? I’m very careful/detailed when working on my rifles but this is my first heavy recoiling rifle. I’ve never had any issues with scope...

Preparing for my 2nd plains game hunt in South Africa with Makonya Safaris. Bought a new Barrett Fieldcraft in 6.5 Creedmoor for the hunt. 2 of our group shot Fieldcrafts in 6.5 Creedmoor last year (I shot a 30-06 Fieldcraft) with excellent results on everything up to zebra, wildebeest and...
