Almost there.... if only it were the 25-06, 30-06, 35-06 aka 35 Whelen. (I know at least 1 memeber who would prefer the "aught six" trio)

Great report and even better hunt! Congratulations I'm going to be with Game 4 Africa next summer, so I enjoy reading these wonderful write ups

Maybe I should add this to the "Tipping Guide" thread, too...

Jerry Clower has the same joke (about his uncles farm and a city boy he took with him)

Very true. But if the statement was a broad "(all) Kudu tend to have hair slippage on the ears" then its no longer about field treatment, unless its specific to an outfitter or consistent situation.

As mentioned already, I would be a bit skeptical of the quality this taxidermist can provide. If it's a known issue, anyone worth paying to do the work should know how to fix it. Or if he's just bad at his craft, he's already giving an excuse for why yours may turn out poorly. Perhaps go the...

... but Eva Shockey in a pink swimsuit is fine all day (and night) long.

I just like Kip's enthusiasm for doe hunting and filling freezers with meat- it's not all about moster bucks. Brings his family along some and seems more fun to be around. That, and I get amusement from his product commercials that run during his show. But I'd certainly agree if he was...

Where's the proof?

I'll hold the Coke for us, Daddy

Buffalo and Kudu package for me. I'm thinking I'll take my bow also and pending time/opportunity look at bushbuck, Nyala, springbuck, or a few others. Going with 2 other guys hunting (1 one a PG package, another doing a cull hunt), plus my wife, other guys wife and college age kids so some...

You'll be there immediately in front of me. Spot us a good un to chase.

But on a more serious note, Kip Campbell of Red Arrow seems like a fun dude to hang around with.

Any of the guys from Mountain Monsters of the Travel Channel would be high priority And right after that I'd enjoy sitting in a tub full of scissors!

I was in Argentina a couple years ago. I took a red stag and blackbuck. The standard "dip and pack" service to get skull/horns and hide home had the heads effectively euro mount finished when they arrived to me. Our outfitter waited until end of season to make a single trip from Santa Rosa to...

Date #2 with my now wife had this same conversation. I politely let her know I have always and will always enjoy hunting, fishing, and outdoors. Telling me I cannot go would simply result in me going anyway and her being mad about it; if that was a problem there was no reason to continue our...

Anyone traveled with bow through Heathrow to Joberg and back via BA? I know in RSA there's no restriction, my brother just went Delta from ATL direct to Jo and back and was never even asked to open the case.

Similar situation for us down here in DFW. I'd steal your idea for parking, but in the middle of an open street, I fear I'd just have an empty lot and empty pockets!

In other news, did anyone hear of the guy in Texas who changed his legal name to "Litterally Anyone Else" and Mr. Else is trying to get on the ballot as an independent.

I'm so sick of the way politics works in today's America. It's all drama and attack ads. None of the candidates tell you what they plan to do, it's just generic "elect me and I'll fix it" bullshit, mixed with "that person will destroy (insert point here), so vote for me instead" and throw in a...

Needs the jackalope mount next to it

I'd drop a log on her car if I couldn't get the birds to do it.

@BRICKBURN Jerome - I read Grippers statement to reference the "someone" as whoever reported him to you for not paying it forward, not a shot at you. But I could be wrong. Just my pennies

Sounds a lot like you've read "The Third Bullet" by Steven Hunter. For those of you who enjoyed fiction books, and/or the movie Shooter (based on Hunter's book Point of Impact), it's a fun read with some entertaining theory premises. It's essentially a LHO conspiracy book, but written for a...

I find a Ruger No.1 to be lacking in capacity when I encounter a whole pack of hogs. The American in .308 works as a solid substitute.

Its probably been 20 years since I was last at an ESU game. Grew up in the rural area north of there, and it was good fun to take in a game from time to time. Indeed a fun venue.

Go Hornets - Stingers up!

I cannot comment on the quality of work, but I was researching some DFW area taxidermist recently and had come across TrueLife in Granbury, or Alpine Taxidermy in South Fort Worth as a couple possible places. I also have a Red Stag and Blackbuck with @gizmo at Top of Texas in Amarillo. I liked...

I asked this very question before booking. 7mm rem mags for Plains game and 375 H&H for DG.

I must have been one of the lucky ones. I bought a used Jeep Wrangler with about 50k Drove it for 6-7 years and 150k+ more miles with nothing more than standard maintenance. Easiest vehicle I ever owned for doing my own work on it. Then I traded it in for half of what I paid for it. Those...

Late June to Early July

Got my dates booked for 2025! Looking forward to hunting with you, Wik.

I've enjoyed my past 2 Silverados immensely. And for some entertainment on why they're so great, see below.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen doesn't know whether to like or hate this post

I've got a rod she can use.

You just know some drunk chick is going to open that with no hands...

Did not read past the first 4 or 5 posts yet, but I am one of those who has been on a safari from an Auction Hunt. 2 of them actually; 1 in Africa and another in Argentina. My brother purchased both at SCI banquet events for a local chapter. I don't recall the exact organization/event, but you...

As a lifelong Chiefs fan, I've enjoyed their current run of success after a literal lifetime of disappointment. I was about 6 and barely remember the Montana in KC years that last had a KC playoff victory before Andy Reid arrived. I will admit I would have been one to sign up for the Peacock...

https://scicolorado.org/ ... Norris Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. I doubt I'll be there this year. My brother moved to Alabama, and it was his involvement (plus a few other family members would use it as an excuse to get together for a hunt) that enticed me to make the travel. I'll...

That's why it no longer called "Global Warming" and instead those blathering idiots are clinging to the term "climate change" ... like they've been around for the millions of years of earth history and know how to control it suddenly.

I know the party is in full swing by now, and I'm sorry to report I am in a fight with my garage door and am unable to be there. As I was leaving it decided to come off the rails and forced me to get a hammer. You all can guess how things are progressing from there.... Have fun all. Wish I...

Sorry in advance for a quick hijacking of this thread. For those of you who will be attending SCI, my guide and now friend from an Argentina hunt (Red Stag and Blackbuck) in March of '22 reached out to me saying he would be there. As a way to help offset some of the trip expense, he will be...

Back when SNL was actual comedy and entertainment. I still love to pull up the Celebrity Jeopardy skits with regularity to get a good chuckle.

Another $100 it was meant to be a roadrunner under it.

There are several lever rifles that have the tube magazine like a shotgun, running along the bottom of the barrel. Depending on caliber, it would hold more than a box magazine. Just a quick search online confirmed 7+1 capacity in a .30-30 for the full size Winchster Model 94. I believe Henry and...
