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.

Use one when sitting on a bench and sighting in.

Actually, brimmed hats are my daily wear, not just Africa.

The Bogart model by Borsalino

Hats for elephant hunt? Here are a few examples.

In CA, NY, NJ etc. combined federal and state taxes are over 50% without accounting for SS and Medicare taxes for the higher tax brackets. Sales tax is much lower though. As pointed out, their system works for a homogeneous working population. It is beginning to fail in Sweden which opened...

I can’t think of a war in recent history that did not end up with a tactical retreat by the French.:unsure:

Continuing my other passion, Argentine Tango. Expect to be dancing 40+ hours. 90 couples from about 30 countries participating. Interestingly the resort is full of Russians.

Actually, if Reagan was running today those on the far right would be calling him a RINO and part of the swamp. He had a lot more common with Haley than he had with Trump. A turtling isolationist politician he was not.

Speaking of assimilation, I ran across this. Unfortunately, so true...

Yep, Clausewitz succinctly put it when he said: ""War is simply the continuation of political intercourse with the addition of other means. " The two parties are not quite ready for the subsequent step in politics for peace.

One thing. Make sure you get it tanned over there. It makes less weight, and you will have your tanned leather much sooner and cheaper than the States.

I don't think the majority of the country today supports that either. That being said, the generation of WW II also supported Jim Crow laws and in quite a number of States had laws against mixed race marriage. That same generation also put Americans of Japanese descent in internment camps. Each...

According to the info above, 85% of people are fine with abortion in the first trimester. If all are "libtards", I am surprised that any Republican get elected. Or just maybe, not every Republican is to the right of Genghis Khan like some here. ;)

Ahem, it was the GOP legislature that repealed it. Are they also libtards and RINOS? :unsure:

Also, I don't think guys calling abortion murder are specifying it to be after the first trimester. Heck, they are even trying to ban "Plan B" which is effective only within 72 hours of unprotected sex and its purpose is to prevent conception. Might as well prosecute people for "sin of Onan"...

Not quite. I have shot 3 with a red dot in the middle of the night.

Last few years I have hunted elephants with a .500 NE double topped with a Trijicon RMR. .570 CEB solid and Hornady .570 DGS factory ammo.

Don't forget that if the election is close then Trump and DeSantis could have issues by being from the same State. Trump could be President with a Democrat VP.

Here is an example from my last hunt. I had to adjust for his head being turned a bit.

Well, if I recall correctly, prior to the FBI raid National Archives requested those documents for months. He ignored all the requests. If people are out to get you (as he states), why give them ammunition.

I remember a post some pages ago that was talking about trade school training etc.. Looks like a lot of folks are coming to the same conclusion. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/gen-zers-catching-wave-blue-collar-jobs-ai-cant-take-tech-ceo-says 16% increase since 2018 is huge.

Oh, I am aware of GSA functionality though my companies deal mostly with Army Corps of Engineers or DOD or other government contractors. I was just trying to point out that the fact that GSA might have facilitated shipment of Trump's boxes was not another conspiracy to entrap Trump. Trump does...

So, GSA ,on purpose, reviewed and packed all those classified documents so they could get Trump to refuse to return them and have an excuse for FBI to raid his residence later on and then charge him? :unsure: Wow, some forward-thinking folks there. o_O Also, a great example of inter-agency...

Well, probably all of the stuff from the White House including personal furniture and boxes were shipped by GSA. They are not going to have "Two Guys and a Trucks" do the moving for security reasons. I doubt there is anything nefarious there.

Yeah, I looked at .577 and the doubles were just much heavier than I wished to schlepp for miles and miles. Especially on hilly country. I’ll stick with my .500. After several elephants and buffalo I am happy with the performance of the .500.

I don't think Trump would be the candidate if it was up to "big money and party establishments". :unsure: Trump might be a lot of things, but manageable he is not.

A friend of mine has shot hundreds of Buffalo and other game with a .375/400 wildcat which is essentially a .375 RUM. It is a very capable cartridge.

Sorry for your loss.

I think it increased voter participation. It is definitely a lot easier to vote by mail than having to figure out where the polling place is, get in line and also take time off from one's day to vote. Historically, Republican voters have been more enthusiastic about in-person voting and that...

First, Trump of 2016 and Trump of 2024 are two different people based on his comments. Secondly, I am voting GOP down ballot. Trump also is on record for NOT WANTING my vote. I will oblige him. Biden is not getting my vote either.

Well, I guess we are approaching a religious argument based on faith. hence will have to agree to disagree. :unsure: One final point, the Trump justice department did not find any voter fraud either.

If that mattered anymore to people, Trump would not have gotten elected in the first place and not be the presumptive nominee now.

Even the law firm hired by Trump found no proof the election was stolen. None of the lawsuits provided any proof or went anywhere. One allegation pushed by Trump surrogates regarding voting machines cost FoxNews close to a billion dollars as well as getting Tucker C. Fired. Keep running on the...

I think the concern was data collection by the CCP.

Or proving that as a moderate conservative Haley appeals to both sides of the aisle. That is what wins elections. You want "Genghis Khan" to represent you, be prepared for being the minority party forever.
