    Jeez lots of Rolex bashing here, gentlemen. not really sure why. If u dont want one, great. but please dont bash people that do appreciate them. the rolex tool watch lines (sub, gmt, milgaus, explorer) are exceptional timepieces and are remarkably accurate. i used to be in the rolex bashing...

    Back country carry gun

    id hate to have to shoot a bear with a handgun. they can cover 100 yards in 6 seconds. hitting a moving target which might be coming to chew on me isnt something i ever want to find out. that being said, i carry a ruger 44mag wheel gun when im hunting and have my 416 or 338.

    Is retiring to Africa a wise decision?

    thats correct. only a namibian citizen can own 51% of property without an exception from the govt, which will not happen. gotta find someone u trust who is namibian. there is a russian oligarch that owns lots of land but has a letter from the president allowing such.

    First Wolf Harvest after seven years and six failed attempts!!

    ive been on quite a few caribou and griz hunts in alaska up in the noatak and kelly river drainages. seen ONE wolf and that was from the plane on one of the trips. weve heard them howling numerous other times from camp and hunting otherwise. we see tracks but they are ghosts. it is a true...

    New and pristine or used with patina?

    anyone who has hunted alaska can vouch for this: your rifle WILL, not might, get beaten up, dinged, scratched. i try to keep guns from getting scratched up but i gave up. not possible lol. besides, they are badges of honor in my eyes.

    Here is why everyone should have AirTags in all their baggage…

    i dont check a bag without an airtag. even going on a ski trip. its nice to know your bag arrived no matter the contents. one thing to consider is that almost every square inch of “sterile” airport property in the united states has cameras. u could probably press the issue and see if there...

    You Tube Hunting Couple Brown Bear Gone Wrong

    a majestic creature like that big brownie deserved better than to be sniped at from 500 yards away. this hunt dishonored that bear. hats off to that bear for fighting until its last breath. thats what they do. what an amazing creature. not that i want anything to happen to a hunter but its...

    What binoculars do you use while on Safari?

    canon image stabilizing 8x30s. it’s amazing how much the impact of image stabilizing cuts down on eye fatigue when glassing for a while. It’s all I will ever use.

    You Tube Hunting Couple Brown Bear Gone Wrong

    ive been fortunate to have been able to hunt and harvest an alaskan griz. i am glad that they owned up to all the mistakes they made, the first making the decision to fire from 470 yards. ive actually taken one animal at that range. it was a caribou up in the noatak river drainage with my 338...

    45-70 for dangerous game?

    45-70 on DG? no. Not even in the conversation. a DG gun needs to be a stopping rifle. u might kill that griz u shot with your 45-70, but if not anchored and he get to u, he has enough oxygen in his brain to maul u before he flops over. never never an option.

    To Sling or not to Sling a Dangerous Game Rifle, That is the Question

    i prefer to have a sling. (with QD swivels). remove whenever moving thru areas where visibility is limited. also, u can use the sling with the rifle in front of your shoulder, muzzle up, not on your back. ive practiced this carry technique. its amazingly fast to bring an animal into sights...

    338 WM -> 375HH -> 458 WM - Where does one go from here?

    i have a 338wm, 9.3x74r double, 416rm, and 450ne double. i personally found that the 416 filled that same gap, as would a 416 rigby or 404 jeffrey. just my humble 2 cents.

    Still worth buying a 338 WinMag if I own a 375?

    you cant go wrong with either Leupold or Zeiss. These are the 2 brands I have on all my scoped rifles. I agree with you that the 6 power minimum is just too high for hunting. happy hunting!
