Not exactly pronunciation: 'assault rifle' for AR. That one drives me almost as crazy as calling antlers 'horns' or gulls 'seagulls.'

I think a lot of us are hoping for another bite at the apple somewhere down the line. ;)

Thank you mind sir. He was my favorite thing from my last trip - I can't wait to see him on my wall. We hiked a lot of freaking miles targeting him specifically.

Wait... what? I missed the original title! Darn it all! :Bored: Females of the species... I had no qualms filling deer doe tags, back in the day. For a good hide of good color I have no issue with mature sows (brown bears) being hunted. I have shot a lot of cow caribou in my years up here. I...

Not elephant, but Africa: I am partial to baseball style caps myself, and so much the better if they say Africa Hunting. ;)

I tend to see greater credibility in those with actual experience in things I want to know more about; there are a great many people on this site - to include 'the forum majesty' - that have such experiences. They are what makes this site such a great place to visit, IMHO.

You're kidding, right? It matters because actual experience informs and educates the assertions we make about the things we claim to know. He asked a valid question, in a non-threatening way. And your response? What does it matter... starting shit. @Doubleplay ... I believe you have your answer.

This forum has it's share of sanctimonious pseudo fact checkers. You were saying? :unsure:

I second the motion. (y)

You can't unsee it...

Put another way, from one of my favorite literary characters (Robert Parker's Virgil Cole): "Sometimes you got to kill one person early, to save killing four or five later."

"My Montana elf hunting outfitter"... Are those draw tags @375 Ruger Fan , or OTC? Do you have to build up points? I don't have the Rocky Mountain subspecies yet, and I have a spot on my shelf just waiting for a really good one. (sorry... I simply could not help myself this morning)

If you are lacking other credible forms of entertainment, some of the memes on Noem's governor's FB page are pretty funny.

WOW!! Just watched those video clips. That was PAINFUL. Her insistent "Nothing to see here" and dodging the questions :oops:... I guess maybe a possible silver lining for her is maybe more people will buy the book to see what the fuss is about. :p I was impressed with her early on. In recent...

I was reading some comments that were attributed to Trump, and his camp, about how could she do such an awful thing (killing it) and that she just didn't understand public relations. {"Trump has been "disgusted" by Noem's revelations, suggesting she has a poor grasp of "public relations." Citing...

"the fact that she insisted on bragging about it in a book and then continued to double down on it" This is my biggest issue with it. I haven't read the account of what happened, and I think you'd have to have been there to form a legit opinion. I have dealt with dogs, and there can be valid...

@375 Ruger Fan ... I feel like it's a Catch 22. Anyone he would likely select as his running mate probably isn't going to move the needle for me, at all, and anyone I would want to see be his running mate (with an eye to the future, or if he can't finish) probably would have to hold THEIR nose...

Hello Will from Dillingham. (y)

Exactly Dave. (y)

I have had a couple of friends express similar experiences...

I gnu, that's who. :p My blue was my first African animal, on day one of my first trip. An extreme shot angle (shattering away) resulted in a wounded bull, that promptly scurried over the lip of a steep thorn-choked bluff. Later, we worked our way up from the bottom to try for a finishing...

:unsure: Kinda wondered about that middle question myself...

:unsure: Kinda wondered about that middle question myself...

I honestly forget they are there. Thanks WAB.

I have a sporterized 6.5 Jap. It's pretty decent with a good stock. I would like to have it drilled and tapped for a scope. I am traveling to ANC in a couple weeks and can bring it with me. Does anyone have names / contact info for ANC or maybe valley people who offer this service? Thanks in...

I can't possibly agree with or like that enough. Yes please.

That’s one big pile of rationalized bear doo. Since big gov gave fed employees a raise, aka buying votes on the backs of taxpayers, you’ve obviously been had. I respectfully disagree. There is nothing factually incorrect about what I said. Buying votes? Not mine. No sir, I do not believe I have...

As someone who has no plans whatsoever to vote for Trump (Or Biden, and not voting for Trump is NOT voting against him - I would have to vote for someone running against him for that to be factually true. But I digress...), I would point out the following: If you believe that his...

Maybe it's just me? But she bears a passing resemblance to Noem. :unsure: :oops:

U(.) got that right...

20+ pounds and a 31" barrel? ? :oops: I couldn't afford the tip I'd need to give to the porter carrying it as we followed tracks through the thorny brush. :A Blink:

I doubt I've worn cowboy boots or a cowboy hat (for that matter) since age 5 or 6. Some folks look natural in both... I do not. Frankly? Between maybe now and early October, I am very, very frequently in Crocs, for anywhere around town, traveling to town on the plane, and even to church. I...

In light of some of the discussions about justice on the 'Politics' thread right now...

I would say this is a good thing, because we do not need corrupt individuals like those currently in the DOJ. Fire them all! I don't think this is a, you did this to me, now I'm going to do this to you. We need reputable individuals in the DOJ who could stand up and say this is not legal, or no...

The only thing that Trump is guilty of, is being a threat to the radical agenda of the deep state... No, he is guilty of perhaps the largest public display of narcissism I've seen in my lifetime. True, that's not illegal. But it's also an ugly enough personality/character trait that we deserve...

I do a radio program for my job and have used that very quote a few times. (y)

... and I have that t-shirt too, although in a totally different font. My favorite remains my hoodie, in part because of the message but mostly because it's the most comfortable one I own. Still, it's good to let people know where you stand. ;)

"And then lay it on the line to the little prick that he had damned well straighten up!" No disrespect but (for me) that's not an option for Putin. He is a war criminal - a monster. There is no punishment on Earth for what he has done, but sitting down to talk certainly isn't it. I get that...

:S Agree:

I have never elephant hunted. I haven't even really watched much with elephants. (I don't figure to ever have the funds to think about elephant) I guess I am a bit confused? 4 shots under 5 seconds, as the elephant was trotting away? My first thought was Texas heart shot. :p :unsure: Clearly...

End of quote, repeat the line :D I have the t-shirt. Literally. :p

... or Haley...

A more simplified approach (the meme below), as favored by discriminating PHs everywhere... ;) Perhaps some of our sponsor outfitter/PHs can give us an idea of how many clients choose to tip in this fashion. For what it's worth, this was the single biggest unknown for me, when I went to Africa...

I do believe he has me beat. Seriously though - more good beards need to make their way to Africa. Some of you are really dropping the ball on this... Doug. :p And welcome Hughley.

Yes. It's a part of every day in some form. Living where I do I don't have opportunities at some of the fancier things some of you do - my choices are much more basic. One of my favorite things: I grew up watching boxing with my grandpa (I am a BIG fan; I am picking Usyk over Fury). A bowl of...

This was Mike Rowe's post on his FB page an hour ago, for those who might not have FB. Go Mike go! For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America – trade schools where I’m pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews – today’s...
