Not being a lawyer I can only assume this is a wino f some form. Any insight from those more learned in the ways of law? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-documents-trial-start-delayed-indefinitely-judge-orders-2024-05-07/

Had to look it up, I was not disappointed.

Her 2a record isn’t good. That’d be a red flag for me.

We have a pretty good idea what folks wear hunting, nice to see what some are wearing with drinks at the Muthaiga club.

The dems are stuck with Kamala. She was an olive branch to the race and gender obsessed wing of the DNC after they ended up picking another rich, old, white, man in the primary. Ditching her was never going to happen because it would be seen as a betrayal. And who would they replace her with? A...

I’m relatively new to regular watch-wearing but I’ve been inspired by this thread to start wearing this at work and hunting turkey for the last two months. I’ve really come to appreciate not having to pull my phone out every time in order to check the time or remember the date.

What a waste.

It doesn’t take too much imagination to think that after a surprise loss in 2016, the powers that be could have decided to hedge their bets in 2020. I’m not saying that’s the case but a lack of interference in 2016 wouldn’t preclude it happening in 2020. The response to Trump’s election by his...

But that’s no thanks to the democrats. Their current impotence on the issue shouldn’t be an endorsement.

I wish they’d make the bambino with Arabic numerals again.

Just a month ago someone was showing off their copy of Small Game. Wonder where he got it? https://www.africahunting.com/threads/pierre-van-der-walt-books.72627/

Will that be Big Game? Medium and Dangerous are the only ones I’ve ever seen for sale. I don’t know if Small Game was ever available in the US.

So the government has created the conditions that justify maintaining a controversial and possibly unconstitutional surveillance law? Convenient.

You only see that in the bad parts of the forest.

Good deal. I’m seeing them listed individually for far more than that.

I’ve seen flooding in desert cities in the US. It doesn’t rain often but when it rains it pours. Many seem to be investing in drainage ponds to at least protect the roads from monsoon rain. I’m actually a little surprised a wealthy city like Dubai wouldn’t have drainage around the airport for...

Which ones? Dangerous and Medium? Did the others ever get printed?

I have medium game cartridges but it and dangerous game appear to be the only ones on paper. At least with a search online and both of those seem to be out of print and selling for over a hundred dollars each.

Did you ever find out about small game cartridges? I don’t see it for sale anywhere online, even used.

Anyone have light African game cartridges by Pierre van der walt? How does he compare the creedmoor to the Swede?

Agreed. When Iranian leaders chant “death to America”, it’s understood to be a threat. People in the US chanting “death to America” are plainly advocating terrorism. Does anyone really think that the death they are hoping for us is a natural one?

I can’t believe how many laugh reactions there are on the FB video.

I have the Iside EM in 12g. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their sxs shotguns.

Now you’ve really done it! Just don’t ask about using 45-70 for dangerous game.

Don’t be too discouraged. Race is a sensitive issue with regard to Africa and folks here are wary of anti hunters sneaking onto to the forum and trying to stir up trouble. I think you’re question is probably going to be perceived as less suspicious since you’ve elaborated on it.

I’m currently looking for one of these for my boy. https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/shotguns/mossberg-international-sa-28-bantam-compact-matte-blued-28-gauge-2-34in-semi-automatic-shotgun-24in/p/1506665

The rifle industry clearly both follows trends and shapes them with advertising, production, and sponsorship. They pick up on the next hot thing and then push that to make sure their investment in r&d and retooling pays off. Remember the short/fat magnum craze? It’s good business though. It’s...

I think this is an example of what irks people. The writer bends over backwards to somehow show that the Creedmoor offers some sort of significant improvement over the Swede. He admits that the Swede has less recoil impulse, more versatility with bullet weights, and that the ballistics are...

I’d be surprised if the same model rifles using the same brand of brass with the same bullets in any of the 6.5mms had drastically different accuracy and terminal performance. Short/fat cartridges have advantages in efficiency of burn but they’re not magic. The performance of the 300wsm was...

I think the simple reason is that the magnum length receiver needed for 300 H&H aren’t very common. American rifle makers push for shorter cartridges so they can carry fewer receiver lengths and simplify production and reduce costs. That was the primary reason the US military moved from the...

If that was the takeaway someone had from this thread then I would suggest they hadn’t actually read it all. My takeaway is that if someone were to take the time to carefully develop a special load with correct bullets and also develop exceptional accuracy with the firearm then, in that...

My understanding was that Ruby was a bit of a whacko and his staff at the strip club remembered him being particularly upset about JFK’s now fatherless children. I also seem to recall that when he was arrested, he seemed to think he was a hero and didn’t understand why he had even been arrested...

Sorry I think we’re using materialism differently. I don’t mean materialism as in obsession with acquiring things, I mean materialism in the philosophical sense, the material world. Worldliness might have been a better understood term. God may want you to pay taxes and there are plenty of parts...

Aplogies in advance for going off topic. That verse isn’t actually about taxes it’s about not being materialistic. Taxation is only brought up by the Pharisees in order to trick Jesus into either admitting treason against Rome or advocating for collaboration with an occupier. Jesus beats them...

But Oswald didn’t need to be talented for every shot he ever made. An adequate shot can get lucky and make a spectacular shot every now and then. He could have just got lucky at the right time like Gavrilo Princip, who killed Franz Ferdinand. And of course we could never know because Oswald...

Bertucci looks like a nice watch. What features are you talking about?

Man, if you hadn’t lost that first timex you’d have doubled the value of your investment like the Rolex guys.

Is the current mod 70 safari true magnum length or do you have to find an old one?

I’ve been thinking of this a bit since it was mentioned in the 45-70 dg thread in response to the hunters who had successfully used specialized hand loads on buffalo. I suspect the concern, like the crf/push feed debate is over stated for the average overseas hunter. Like feed type, there are...

Just think of a wolf as a large chihuahua and you won’t feel so bad.

It’s regional but California Rifle and Pistol Association has been doing some good work in California, which is an uphill battle but they’ve had some success in the courts.

I’m considering the SGW100 because the compass and thermometer appeal to the Boy Scout in me. Otherwise I’d probably opt for something analog. Theres an attraction to tools that are multi purpose. Unfortunately the sgw100 doesn’t seem as easy to replace the straps on, probably what I get for...

Pierre van der Walt states in African Medium Game Cartridges that the 270 Win is “most sensibly used against game up to the 350 lb - 750 lb weight class.” Though he has a caveat that animals heavier than 450 lbs are probably better left alone at longer ranges (375 yards and further). He also...

I’m not much of a watch guy but this thread had me thinking of a general purpose cheap watch for outdoor pursuits. Those who own Casios, which type of band do you prefer? Woven or resin?

Realistically it seems like anyone who can afford a buffalo hunt can probably afford a rifle in any of the larger DG cartridges. I don’t think that’s the motivation for the few who want to use a 45-70. Same as archery, pistol, or muzzleloader.

I’ve heard of some folks having great success using the 77gr TMK bullet from Sierra on North American game up to and included elk. I’m not advocating for it but if you google it there’s another forum where some hunters have had quite a bit of success.
