Happy belated Independence Day, from my tiny corner of SW Alaska...

"otherwise we’ll have barbarians at the gates, literally." Whatever his meaning, I am not as sure he was speaking metaphorically?

Maybe this isn't relevant to this thread but tacking onto the idea that resources are managed - even in wild areas... It came up on a different thread a while back that during 2023 and 2024, the State of Alaska killed 175 brown bears, five black bears, and 19 wolves across SW Alaska as a part...

"This is a worrisome day. I find I largely agree with both of you." :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: To quote a line from a favorite book from when I taught second grade: "Some days are like that. Even in Australia."

Way to go Idaho! (y)(y)(y)(y)

I clicked 'like' because I think I mostly agree with what you're saying, and I guess that's one of my issues with our President: I do not care for the grandiose verbiage he spews. I don't want to have to read between the lines because that's just how he talks. You and I disagree with a number of...

I have zero issue with this. And Trump was/is the one telling them to reign it in and not get too crazy with cutting spending. Kinda sounds sorta swampish, doesn't it? :unsure:

As a neutral observer... (or so I consider myself)... it's simple, at least to me. I have seen a handful of his videos - a friend bought them and I got to watch them. Frankly that was a lot of years ago, and before I ever made it to Africa. Yes, I have hunted buffalo twice. My perspective...

Wow... that, um, sounds remarkably what I would imagine someone living in, say, a swamp might say... "Don't be as efficient at your jobs as you could be because we need to get re-elected."

David, "Unlike most I prefer the more narrow bulls." You are not alone. (y)

First, I am jealous of the knife: I want one. Second: "I will always hunt a Kudu every time I visit Africa." Bingo my friend; you and me both.

Mark would probably like this thread... it's been hard hit but it's not dead, and he could or would give it a chance to decide how it wants to die.

I guess if you can't explain what a woman is that actually having intelligent thoughts about the Constitution is way too far a venture into the deep end of the pool.

Touche good sir...

Tell me she's not very smart without telling me she's not very smart. Must make for a fun office Christmas party environment... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I am jealous good sir.

I love Wik to death... but I would hunt with Don anytime, anywhere, for anything. He is such an incredible individual. Jealous of that waterbuck...

Congratulations my friend. I am enjoying this and looking forward to the rest. Now start thinking about getting your arse up here for a moose...

Agreed on Griffin. She makes you believe actual unbiased reporting can still happen.

"All you do is sit back and bitch and complain about it, and anyone outside of your little bubble of sanctimony."

I honestly think Brent is projecting with that one... except the TDS part.

This: bullets do weird things. I shot a small bull caribou a number of years ago. I waited for a cow to clearer behind him. She was at least a body and a half ahead of him when I shot. He went down immediately - and she started limping noticeably. My buddy put a shot in her and put her down...

The bloviating narcissist holds court. Hopefully Israel is paying him no mind.

98% private and there are infinitely more hunting opportunities than there are in California, for example. Perhaps. My understanding is a lot of those hunting opportunities come at a price. Not everyone can afford to pay those prices.

Counter opinion: this is one of most informational threads on this site.

I think an additional point many have tried to make is these charges and their frequency are virtually non-existent for other long-time DG PHs. :E Shrug:

The one I would worry about is Siakam. He has had some quiet games. He has also carried them at times. He had the title with Toronto - and he had a large role in that. I am a big believer that experience goes a long way in situations like this. That said I believe you guys are large favorites...

Any worries at all about tomorrow Wheels?

"My point was I believe that sharing more information earlier with Congress is good governance. Not that it’s required." Perish the thought with the level of dysfunction in Congress as it currently is...

Each to their own. That letter has an awful lot of hubris, IMO.

I have a friend and former hunting buddy who took a 55" bull moose (antlers only) as payment for something. He had a shoulder mount done with it. He has killed lesser bulls but was losing hunting time to work and family, and had resigned himself to the notion he was never going to get a big...

"Out of curiosity" --> the real reason you posted? :p I don't know Jack about these things but as others have said had it belonged to my grandfather it would be a moot issue: it wouldn't be going anywhere except on the wall next to my own trophies. Short of that, myself personally, I would...

... or three.

"The Maga debate over the weekend coincided with him posting on social media that he joined Russia's president Putin in calling for an end to the war." Putin calling for an end to the war? That is the most asinine thing I will read today.

Sounds like someone willing to go down with their ship. Paraphrasing Lt. Aldo Raine "We got an Iranian here who wants to die for his country! Oblige him!"

The lever action perspective... .45-70 -> buffalo .338 Marlin Express -> everything else

"That may force Israel into a terrible choice or truly test Trump’s mettle and control of his coalition." That's my concern: Israel will act in what it believes is in its best interest, and the Donald will talk the talk but not walk the walk.

I like your thinking.

"Would you rather him not take the call? Tell Putin to F off and then tell everyone on Twitter?" Yes to the first question, or at least start with "Are you going to be serious this time? If not you're wasting my time and I am tired of you stalling and nothing happening." Give him a chance to...

Side note: Kinnaman was pretty good in "For All Mankind"... IMHO.

Scott... stuff like this is why - knowing full well the MAGA faithful on this site will give me thumbs down emojis for posting it - memes like this feel like they have a measure of validity. Go ahead Mr. President: proof me wrong. Start treating Putin like the sadistic thug he is instead of some...

That'd look good on a wall Joe... said the former fish taxidermist. ;)

The rubber necker in me wants to see a video of him guiding Tim Sundles... :X3:

Same here. What gives? I never looked at his stuff. :unsure:

I believe that in a parallel 'bedroom' comparison, Mr. Sullivan would be known as the 'bull' and the hunter clients who stand to the side and watch him shoot 'their' animal would be known as 'cucks'. Not my thing, but, as many have said, each to their own. ;)
