More than one. :sneaky: That being said, never hid purchases and vice versa.

I don't get this thing that people assume spouses hide purchases from each other. I don't really see that happening in lasting marriages. As far as the ROI by vendors at these shows, I doubt they'd keep showing up if they were not making money. When I bought my Shikari they had booked over a...

Old style lawnmower.

Hmmm, just sent them the deposit for my stuff, crossing fingers.

I took my .500 MDM on a bear hunt prior to an elephant hunt. You can see the result here.

Well, they have not assimilated in the UK. I do not recognize the UK of today compared to the UK that I went to boarding school at in the '70s. I figure in another 20-30 years UK will be a majority Muslim country with Islamic laws and values.

Hmmm, is this like "alternative facts" as quoted by Kellyanne Conway, a trademark of Trump sycophants?

A decent analysis of Trump vis-à-vis Putin https://apple.news/ApHx3jU7-Qriewx9MZWAjpQ

Here is an article about this business approach. https://apple.news/AfxCqPfh8RVmHw7PLtFyEcQ

Kinda like Zelensky's yacht and his wife's jewelry? :unsure:

I think it is the basest of emotions. Democrats and Biden supported Ukraine, so he must support Putin. Thinking with his ego. And Putin knows how to play Trump like a fiddle; they probably have a book's worth of a psychological profile on Trump.

Yes. It amazed me how those two did not hit back. As I said Iran could not do much to us and those two for whatever reason seemed to let Iran run amok. I wasn't saying what Trump did with Iran was wrong. All I said was there was no risk.

I have yet to have him change any direction vis a vis Ukraine. He has always been Putin's mouthpiece even before the election, so much that I really wonder if Putin has something on him. Or an even worse and despicable possibility is that he just wants to raid Ukraine's natural resources and...

Iran as I mentioned in my post was the low hanging fruit. Easy to bully as they have no way of hitting back at us militarily.

Well, the Republicans also have been pushing "Russia is bad" narrative since before I was born, and I am old. :ROFLMAO: I am not sure that Trump is an apex predator, more like a school bully against smaller opponents (e.g. Venezuela, Iran etc.). I lost count on number of times he has promised...

I have been using Pelican cases for the last number of years. I also have Tuffpak, but had issues with TSA just throwing soft cases back in without paying attention to security inside the case.

He can definitely redo Executive orders etc. by issuing his own that reverses them as he has done in the past. I doubt he can undo pardons legally. Not to mention any laws that were signed via the autopen if there were any.

Heym 88B in 9.3x74R worked great for bait and leopard. Even shot two impala with one bullet.

Yep, that's why I'll be leaving once my current project commitments end. To be honest though, if the gun policies were like Texas etc. I might have reconsidered as one can't beat the weather.

One thing that is a consideration also are the gun laws of the particular country one is interested in. Some countries have draconian gun laws and are not that gun friendly at all. Not to mention customs duties etc. even if one is allowed. My future retirement plans are to have a home base as...

Actually, UAE and Saudi Arabia do have decent medical facilities, but I mentioned only Southern Africa as I doubt anyone would want to move to the desert for retirement.

I might have mentioned this before but too many pages to check. As we all get older, speedy access to quality medical facilities becomes important. Unfortunately, Southern Africa is not it.

I do a lot of Sous Vide cooking. Buying a chamber vacuum sealer that can also seal liquids was one of the best decisions I made several years ago. Then, of course, I had to get one for my vacation house overseas. I had a little problem converting cm to inches and ordered a larger one than I...

Even liberal Europeans have common sense. https://www.reuters.com/business/swiss-voters-reject-proposed-tax-super-rich-with-79-public-broadcaster-estimates-2025-11-30/

For those that like suits and hunting outfits for a driven hunt in the UK or elsewhere. I actually found a video of the whole process for the tailor I have used in the past.

Future business deal with Trumps later on maybe?

I think you need a pedicure - lol

Using your viewpoint Bin Laden was justified for 9/11 due to American actions in the Middle East and elsewhere as perceived by him. Extrajudicial killings are a slippery slope.

Yet, we hardly do anything directly about the Mexican cartels which ship a lot more drugs than Venezuela.

Trump and Putin, brothers from another mother. :unsure:

I'd be conflicted as are you. I always say biggest caliber one can shoot accurately. That being said, the extra 3 pounds adds up in the jesse. Not to mention getting the H&H back to Africa. I'd be leaning slightly towards the H&H .500/450.

Bluing is supposed to finish next month. So, not much left to do other than regulation after that.

Wow, his elephant looks pretty close to mine you did for me.

They comprehend it and agree with Putin.

Never had an issue with the straps. Though for luggage I have been using Rimowa for the last several years. IMHO, the best luggage in the market.

I had my partner train with an Aegis instructor for a week (36 hours and several hundred rounds). She became very comfortable with an HK VP9 in 9mm. It cost me, but there was no way I could instruct her without her becoming defensive.

And that is good. Based on the transcript Witkoff seems to be a Russian sympathizer. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-envoy-gave-russian-aide-tips-how-sell-ukraine-deal-trump-report

I know a number of guys that take rifles that cost $200K+ hunting. BTW, the rifle above is not that expensive compared to most custom rifles. We are not talking about their Royal doubles. Difference is that it keeps zero. Your regular rifle has enough slop in it that one can lose zero taking it...

Prior to my hunt at Nyakasanga and Zambia my partner and I went glamping at Hwange and Victoria Falls. Of course, we did "safari" rides with bunch of people taking pictures. Some wondered about my hat.

Funny story. When my partner and I started dating I was doing a lot of cooking at her place. So, I bought her a cast iron skillet for my use. She is OCD when it comes to cleanliness, she absolutely destroyed it by scrubbing and cleaning it. I had to buy another one. I still tease her about it to...

I used to do that before deciding to grow my beard.

Of course, one other thing is American leather. I love the Saddleback leather company.

I think a few guys here have said that to me in the past.:LOL:

I disagree with this, especially for Zimbabwe. Plenty of .500 NE ammo, especially at CMS. ;)

RL 15 with a filler works for .500 NE

Well, a trip to New Orleans is not without eating at Brennan's. https://www.brennansneworleans.com/ Also, they could do a sightseeing tour at one of the plantations from the Civil War era.

Almost impossible when hunting elephant or buffalo in free range countries. However, a few PHs I know quit hunting tuskless cows due to close calls they have had. They are leaving those hunts to the younger PHs.

It kicks in when you drop your rifle to the ground. Gunsmiths among us can explain it better I think.

Two companies I have bought or ordered knives to be made custom from. https://www.korin.com/ https://japanesechefsknife.com/
