Interesting and gives a bit of insight as to what it is really like for tribal Africans to live, or at least hope to continue to live, with lions and why they would rather poison all lions than co-exist with them. Even those on the fence about hunting would watch this one and think 2x bout...

Ill start things off. This year was phenomenal for waterfowling up here. The warm weather kept them around in huge numbers weeks longer than they should have stayed. I had some great shots and despite the dismal deer numbers, managed to take a nice buck n my 2nd last day. The non-typical I...

Ill let the video speak for itself. Is that you Foxi??? Lol http://www.outdoorhub.com/news/2015/03/13/video-german-hunter-single-handedly-takes-group-boars/

Just came across these, kind of old but still funny. :) I hope no one needs to buy a car.

Cool Idea, this is an actual carved moose horn embedded in stone.

Great info for anyone interested. Who knew you needed to "sight in" a scattergun! :D http://www.mn-trap.org/tech_corner/n_winston/Point_of_Impact_and_Pattern_Testing_at_13_Yards.pdf

This mount was done by a taxidermist who I highly revere, not just for his talent as a true wildlife artist but for the natural talent and commitment to excellence that has propelled him to his first world taxidermy championship win at the tender age of 21!!! Here is the mount that earned Daniel...

I can usually find any manner of good info (as well as plenty of bad info) on google. However after discovering that the max pressure for a 12ga 3" load is 2500psi lower tha the max for 3 1/2" shells, I can find nothing definitive about why this is? Makes no sense to me, pressure is pressure is...

I just priced out BBs (for a BB gun) and if bought in bulk, they are only $1 per box more expensive to load than steel shot. They are 10% more dense and 1/3 softer than steel which should make them ideal. I am planning to buy a new shotgun and am looking at non-toxic alternatives that are not...

I know there have been commercial shells in the past that mixed shot sizes and the fact that there are not more attempts probably answers my question but, have any of you tried mixed shot loads? I was thinking 5/8 oz of BB or BBB on top of 5/8 oz of 2s would be a good goose load, the BBs would...

Has Anyone hunted with Johann from Shona Hunting Adventures in Namibia. I am considering a cheetah hunt with them and would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

Little Johnny is sitting in math class and his teacher asks "if there are 3 crows sitting on the fence and you shoot one, how many are left?" Little Johnny puts up his hand and the teacher calls on him. "None" Johhny replies. "Sorry that's wrong" The teacher lectured "if there are 3 crows and...

With a busy schedule and no days off I finally found some time at Christmas to do a little taxidermy (between renovations that is :) ) I have really been looking forward to getting this little guy on the wall. He still needs a bath and some grooming but Im just glad to have him this far along lol.

“I have 6 days open from Dec 5-11 if you want to come chase a lion” the text read. After more than 3 years of trying to sync schedules I gritted my teeth and replied “I doubt it… work”. A few days later, much to my chagrin, my schedule opened up and I eagerly called Byron who informed me that...

I was surfing on a taxidermy website and came across this. I wasn't surprised when I saw who it was done by. I'm sure Dennis wont mind if I post this here for you guys. http://www.taxidermy.net/ken/?p=795 How many of us would love atrophy room big enough to house this mount :) lol

I am currently corresponding with Jorge Noyas assistant or someone claiming to be him. I emailed the link on Caza & Safaris and it went to jorgenestornoya@gmail.com. this email does not correspond with the email listed on the website. To further complicate matters, I have now found 2 websites...

The general consensus among friends prior to departing for Prague was that travelling to the Czech Republic was downright crazy. It seems people have a hard time separating countries in this part of the world, with the upset in Ukraine the impression is that the entire region is ready to erupt...

After reading about Bruces failed hunt I figured I should get off my butt and finally post my Marco Polo hunt report. Hopefully this is a good pick-me-up for your next try Bruce. I am not sure where to begin. As soon as you start looking around Bishkek the old Soviet influence is overwhelming...

Last month I left a cheque for tips and one last trophy fee and when they tried to cash it it bounced. I get looking into it and my accountant has paid business expenses from my personal account (which I don't keep a large balance in). I contacted them and "corrected" the problem then mailed a...

Honest its there somewhere...

Has anyone hunted with Shooting Enterprise our of the UK/CZ? They have a Mouflon hunt that is looking good and email seems promising. I have just requested references but was wondering if anyone here has hunted with them. Anyone?

Has anyone hunted Mouflon in Europe? If so where, with who, etc. I think this will be the next Hunt I do and I am at the grass roots stage of research so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well I guess I have procrastinated enough on writing this. We have returned from Texas and had a wonderful time with Pope Brothers Guide Service. Clay and the staff are fully invested in their clients satisfaction. Although somewhat disorganized at times, they provide great hunting for both...

With no selection whatsoever of bullets or powder available and absolutely no time away from work to play with loads, I was forced to pick up a box of 130gr TTSX and use the only powder the I had enough of to load a couple boxes plus some test rounds. With no time to play with anything, I went...

I just phoned the local Cabelas to see if they had any .270 140gr TSXs in stock so my wife could pick them up while she was in the city. The GUN counter guy asked "what are those? Bullets?" ??????? Really? :bonk: Since they were out I phoned Wholesale sports and asked the same question from...

Lorne I tried responding to your PM but your in box is full and needs to be cleaned out before you can receive any more.

Anyone ever hear of a policy like this? Hunt is over once game is taken, wounded, or hunter shot and missed at 3 different animals from the same hunted specie. If hunt is on trophy fee basis, trophy fee applies under the same terms

This is a mount that I saw a picture of years ago and thought how cool it was. I stumbled across it again today and had to share it. I believe it was done in the 1800s and is called "the messenger". It really tells a story.

This buck almost doubles the score of the wild non-typical world record. Im not sure what to say about that, genetically engineered freak yet I am compelled to wish I had run into him in the wild. I have no interest in him as a science experiment though. New SCI World Record! | Hunt Forever

Since trying out the 100gr TTSXs and finding how much my .257 likes them I have shot a few animals. I had been finding petals left behind in the wounds but the bulk of the bullet was missing and the game died quickly. I finally recovered one. My wife took a broadside shot on a Cow Elk which...

Makes you wonder why they just don't do this all the time? If they gathered up like Muskox they would be invincible. http://www.africahunting.com/search.php?searchid=2775950 It really warms my heart that none of those animals was injured badly, especially the Buff who had given up and was...

For the 1st time in as long as I can remember, I regret passing up a buck. Living in Alberta we are spoiled with the ever Immanent possibility at a 180-190 class buck and I save my tag for this class of buck, hence not shooting a buck in several years. Today I passed on a 4x4 buck that would...

Don't mess with this guy.

I love this thing. I have never owned a gun that shoots like this before, or even remotely close to it. It consistently shoots 3 shot groups at under 1.5" at 300yds! I love it. I wish I had rebarrelled this rifle years ago when I first had the urge. I have to give the boys at Corlanes sporting...

I just watched an episode of "extreme outer limits" where they said that the Berger bullets are designed to penetrate a few inches then dump all their energy in the animals core (fragment). This sounds to me like what the ballistic tip bullets do when you push them too fast, either causing...

With ammo harder to come by than hens teeth these days I found myself on the phone today for hours to every dealer in Alberta, BC, and started into Saskatchewan before finally finding some 100gr ttsx. There were plenty of 80gr to be had though and I was considering switching (out of neccessity)...

Has anyone hunted with Pope Brothers Guide Service out of Utopia Texas? I am considering a Bobcat and predator hunt with them next winter. Any info would be appreciated. thanks Derek

I just got my crate back from 2012 the other day (or at least my wife did anyway). She cracked it open and was very impressed with the contents. Judging from the pics she sent me. The horns are not darkened or over boiled. The skulls are well care for and aside from the odd missing tooth are...

Well, my 13 YO neice just shot her 1st moose the other day, hunted the hard way, on foot in a horseback only wilderness area. I was fortunate enough to be there to help her. The well above average temps sure put a damper on the rutting activity and despite hopes of a rut crazed bull tearing up...
