I only recently became aware of this book sadly following a post about the passing of the author here on AH. The book was not hard To find online and I got a new one, while older better printings were available but becoming pricey. I loved this book, one of the hard to put down books. Full of...

Not sure how to post the full story but easy to find with google. Some odd details but I suspect we don’t have the full story yet as it is still being investigated. My question is why shots were fired to scare The cat away from the body-instead of just killing the cat With those shots-...

Daughter’s high school graduation and she has chosen to do a baseball park tour on the east coast. I am thinking to surprise her with some fishing off cape cod or thereabouts. Can anyone make recommendations for me. I am not going but sending my wife instead. Would like to have appropriate...

I was not present on this hunt. She is in college and working and the first full day she and her husband could go was Halloween. So I stayed home with my other kids for the holiday while my father in law, nephew and son in law all went hunting. My nephew hunts this area for deer and knew the...

This is my second to oldest daughter. We have tried unsuccessfully to get her a deer for several years now. We have been thwarted by weather, other hunters and her very ambitious high school sports schedule-stupid soccer playoffs in October every year! Also her older sister shot a nice four...

We all like to read his stuff, here is a chance to watch some of it. It was educational but quite dated. Still a fun watch, I apologize if it has been posted before, I couldn’t remember seeing it-

If anyone needs some-

I bought these in a package deal and they are random enough that I would like to move them on to someone who might be able to use them. If interested please pm me your zip code (shipping cost) and a realistic offer. The 300 savage appears new and unfired. The 7 Mauser is half fired and some...

Just thought this was cool, I did not read the accompanying article

I’ve posted about recent experiences with vortex and Swarovski. I’ll add a couple experiences I’ve had with leupold as well to keep the scales balanced. It is probably worth mentioning that I’ve used night force scopes and I still have a couple Zeiss scopes and have not yet had occasion to...

The ballistic turret on one of my Swarovski scopes lost the ability to screw on and off. It was apparent that a small piece of plastic had broken causing the issue. Called the 1-800 number which I found on their website. Ronny O was super helpful. There was a problem because I had bought this...

Preface-I recently had to return a vortex spotting scope. I thought I would share the experience with the group just as a reference. I own exactly three vortex products and one of those I found on the road at the public shooting range. I am not asking for alternative products or a critique on...

Got the e mail this morning that I drew a Wyoming deer tag. I applied for the archery option as well figuring to spend as much time as possible and enjoy the season. Killing a deer is not the overall goal, I just want to be there and hunting and see what there is to see. In Utah my...

There are two volumns both available from midwayUSA and I think they are down to around $10 each making them a very Solid bargain. These are very short and simple adventures from Mr. Potterfield’s life including everything from boyhood squirrel capers to adult africa safaris and his growing...

Not exactly what you think- I’m not a military guy though I am surrounded by many who are-nor am I an artillery fancier. But I saw an episode on the history channel that was simply fascinating and deserves a brief spotlight-the cannone da 149/23 of creste Croce. Human sacrifice and the need...

I would like to share the end of our waterfowl season by sharing a couple hunts with you all -accompanied by a couple trips down rabbit holes and some nice surprises along the way. I found a mule deer path into the infernal willows and started quietly following toward the river. I knew the...

This is a large size coffee table type book and largely a photographic tribute. There are lots of stories or articles but it is an easy read and I had completed it by end of Christmas break. The author has traveled to some wonderful destinations (Africa, Europe, South America, Idaho among...

i was excited when I discovered this book as I have read some information about the author and he is someone I respect and admire. This book was originally written in German and translated years later to englsih. He has written several other books only in German which I would like to read as...

I work in this town so the story is closer to home. BUT the story could read-Humans build houses on wildlife winter range so the animals must find food somewhere or be killed. Same story anywhere in the world-humans occupy more and more, remove resources and wildlife suffers. This young...

I really struggled with this book for whatever reasons. The thing that was most interesting to me was the authors perspective on the building of Kariba dam and his experiences involved. Mostly because we are currently seeing a similar project in the selous. The authors realization that human...

The archery elk hunt had been open for ten days or so but I hadn’t been out yet. Overtime at work, kids ball games and well, I have just been to Africa and my money is pretty well gone and my wife has seen and heard enough of hunting for awhile. September 1 our bird hunts start kicking off...

I have two boxes, one new and unopened the other open but all bullets counted and present. Asking $65 per box plus shipping which is roughly what I paid for them except not charging you sales tax. Pretty sure they will fit and ship for under $10 for both boxes. Pm me if interested or have...

I’ll do this day to day as there might be some info for newer safari goers and then some seasoned adventures as I go for everyone. I like long reports and I love pictures so buckle up! Left slc flying delta yesterday morning. Nice lady at the delta gate had not done international guns before...

There are several good threads on artists-before I continue hijacking’s them, perhaps a renewed thread on favorite artists. I’ll start with two of mine. Bob Kuhn has been dead over a decade but I still love to look through my book of his works are daydream that I had been part of some of...

Does anyone need these-seem sort of hard to find. My gun store had this box-I’ll go buy them if someone wants them. Send me a pm if interested

You will have to search for the title on YouTube but this was a fun watch-just what the doctor ordered to soothe your africa addiction-if you dream of the selous at least!

Utah results getting out via e mail-my daughter and I have general deer tags is all-hopeful for Wyoming tags here in a month or so-good luck!

I bought this based on another member recommendation. This is a fun read about the authors early experience working in the the embryonic Hwange national park. I had feared I would not like this one as the description brags on about the extreme numbers of elephants and Buffalo killed by the...

Saw these on Ron Spomer Outdoors-really love the concept and we all love things made from walnut. Not sure how to apply it in my world and it might be wasted on oxen hands like I have. . . The company is open range creations and he makes beautiful, functional custom wood ammo holders. Lids are...

Have read a book about this voyage and awhile back there was a good article in Sports Afield magazine. And now, sleeping in the cold locker, is Shackleton’s long lost ship. Very fascinating, eager to know more!

Taking this rifle to South Africa later in the summer. Have always thought of this as a boring rifle as it was flat black when I purchased It. Saw this pattern one day on the web and with a little research found the company. LongRifles inc in South Dakota was very good to work with-constant...

A very Interesting read about the giant sables of Angola including a fascinating history of the country, the animals and the handful who brought them out of obscurity. A long cast of characters that are hunters, politicians, biologists, researchers, writers, fundraisers etc lead the reader...

This is another great book full of short stories from many venerable authors. Great stuff about the animals and people we love to read about. The dust jacket makes it look cheap or less serious than it really is-one you could return to and read again and again

For sale-there are only nine of them. .375 300 gr original trophy bonded sledgehammer. I bought them as part of a bundle so will have to accept legit offers by pm. I am keeping the box! I would keep them except there are not enough to do load work up-so I am counting on someone who already...

I figure I have one box too many. If anybody needs some I will sell them for $100 shipped in the USA. Which is basically midwayusa price or within a buck or two of it-pm me is fine.

Just finished this one while waiting for my kids to get out of school. Something for everyone with stories of Africa, bird shooting, Nilgai and lots of other American game-bears and sheep, elk etc. It is old but still relevant and has a handful of good photographs. One I am sure I will read...

Just finished the newest Craig Boddington book which as you can see is about his own favorites among what have been a jungle of firearms in his long and fruitful career among hunting rifles. I like the authors writing style which reminds me of a casual conversation among friends. I loved the...

Had not heard of Gordie White but many of you better traveled hunters surely have-I enjoyed his new book which had a little something for everyone. Like all books written by Professional Hunters, former or current, I wish it was much longer! I hope there is a follow up in the making and maybe...

Spoiler alert: I killed my bear this past week, but its been a long and adventure filled journey to get me this far. I'll write out some highlight stories for the readers in the group and I love the pictures so will include many of them as I go. I drew the multi season tag for the wasatch unit...

Just finished this one and very much enjoyed it. It’s older but not so outdated as to let my interest wander. Lots of names of people and places that are recognizable as well as information that I would consider still very useful. I especially enjoyed the chapter “Berit” about the authors...

Barnes TSX .375 in 300 grain. Bought them by mistake for $54.99. Happy to sell them at $50 plus s/h. Send me a pm if you have any interest. Would trade them for 235 grain, which these are clearly not. . . Even though if you are excited to see them and don’t read the box clearly which states...

Someone was looking for .375 300 gr Accubond. My local gun store has a bunch as well as the 260 gr. If anyone is interested, drop me a pm and I will pick them up and ship at no profit. Happy to help if someone was looking for these-

Finished reading this tonight and sad it is over. I have read some of the stories elsewhere but good to run into them again. Engaging writing style, great stories, lame illustrations. Not very expensive on Amazon-can’t remember where I heard about this one, if it was from someone here on...

Just saw my e mails for Utah-nothing for me this year, waiting for my girls to check their e mails. Some friends of mine did draw antelope, archery elk and an archery desert sheep tag-it will be a good year!

Might as well start a post for those who get lucky (or not) and draw hunting tags in 2021. I get to start with some luck as my 17 years of state donations finally bought me the ability to hunt black bear in Utah. I drew the wasatch multi season tag. Looking forward to spending some time in a...

I know burning grass and rejuvenating the countryside is common in many parts of Africa. Sadly This fire seems more like the terrible wildfires Americans and Australians are much too familiar with. Cape town and surrounding areas burdened by drought and the fires that follow drought. Hope for...

Was at Wal Mart today and saw both guns and ammunition in stock. For the price of a bottle of powder I was able to buy a lever action and 500 rounds! me and the kids been pounding soup cans all afternoon. Nothing like a daisy red rider to bring happiness and peace to my soul during a time...

I mounted these for a local guy and before he picks them up I thought I would snap a couple pix. Wild roosters shot and retrieved by what I assume was an energetic and hard mouthed retriever. Customer asked to have them fighting and wanted them to sit atop his gun safe-the rest was up to me

Just saw this on the news-don’t know if I agree or disagree with cloning-lots to both sides of that coin but it is amazing technology
