    .223 for Steinbok, Duiker, Klipspringer?

    In a perfect world if I was going to use a .308 for the TT I would use a Federal fusion 125gr reduced recoil load. I’ve shot javelina, foxes and coyote with that load with no pelt damage. Of course if I did that that would be the time a 30+” nyala would show up to the call.

    There’s resistance and then there is unadulterated hate and that is what Trump faced. In my lifetime I’ve never seen such vitriolic hate and being undermined at every turn.

    .223 for Steinbok, Duiker, Klipspringer?

    Unless shooting solids this is the way to go on the tiny ten. Any expanding bullet will blow them to hell and back. My juice for the TT would. E a .22 hornet if I could ever find one.

    Taking Rifles to SA

    Put both guns on one 4457 under 1 name , to my knowledge they never check who actually owns the guns just make sure the serial numbers are correct. But the last time I took rifles was 2021 and things change.

    A lot of Trumps failings were because he had to fight the democrats, the media and many in his own party to accomplish anything. 24hrs of Russia,Russia, Russia would stall any attempt to do anything. Not to mention being called a racist and anti semite at the drop of a hat. This is coming from...

    What type of weapons are being withheld? If it’s precision weapons you would think they would send them as they are better at avoiding civilian casualties than dumb bombs or artillery.

    Meat Recovery - NT

    Thanks @Ontario Hunter , one thing I remember from Saskatchewan was when ever we ordered just about anything they would ask if we wanted gravy on it. The 3 separate ingredients of poutine sound pretty good except I’m pretty picky about what I put gravy on.

    Meat Recovery - NT

    This was back in 2004 before the extreme limits were imposed, but our main focus was cranes, ducks, dark geese and upland birds. Spent a little money on gas for the generator but saved a lot on replenishing my ice. I could have spent some time looking for dry ice but I considered that a waste of...

    Meat Recovery - NT

    I don’t know if this would be an option but when I hunted in Canada and brought a lot of birds home from Canada to my home on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. I took a smallish freezer and a generator in the back of my pickup truck. It was a 3 day drive and I was able to freeze the meat and keep it...

    Trophy Elephant Bull

    To me it’s in the eye of the beholder, my PAC elephant is a trophy to me. But you would be correct in the area,some areas produce short and thick (Botswana) some long and thinner (Eastern Africa) some of the elephant hunters I’ve talked to have different opinions, some like shorter thick...

    Looks like the dems had to rely on 2 republicans to repeal, they only hold 2 vote margins in both houses. This brings Arizona more in line with the rest of the country I would think.

    Last Practice - First Safari

    Reason I was asking about the rabies. I’ve read it’s hard to get leopard on bait when there is a rabies outbreak because it hits kudu particularly hard and lots of dead ones in the bush. I would think that they would have contact with saliva, brain matter and spinal fluid when eating infected...

    Possibly dumb sling question

    On my .375 Ruger I have one of those rubber slings and it will not slip off of your shoulder, it goes with the rifle as it is a Houge stocked Ruger Alaskan. On my more classic .416 Rigby I have a buffalo leather cobra type sling and it works ok but I haven’t carried it near as much as the Ruger...

    Well it’s started again: “ban assault weapons” after the murder of US Marshals in North Carolina.I pray for these officers and their families. It sounds like the warrant was for a prohibited person with a firearm. So no law or ban would have prevented this. Pray for the families of the dead and...

    I actually have more floor space than wall space, on the walls along with shoulder mounts I have 60 or so waterfowl mounts. My trophy room is approximately 16’ x 24’.

    Snakes!

    Those things make my ears hurt just looking at them! I have a short barrel (barely legal) for home defense and it’s so damned loud when I shoot it for fun I wear plugs and muffs and it’s still loud. I know snakes can’t hear but they will surely feel it even if they’re missed by the shot. I can’t...

    Snakes!

    I was snooping around by the stock pond next to my house yesterday afternoon and came across this skin. Looks to be about 4’ long and extremely thick. Has to be a good sized cottonmouth. Don’t want to run into him in the dark.

    A cautionary tale - Traveling with ammunition in luggage

    Snakes!

    I don’t kill snakes other than the odd cottonmouth that shows up at the house, if I have time I’ll relocate them but sometimes that’s not an option. They are basically just a part of our daily lives. I was impressed by my trackers in Mozambique, they just shewed the Gaboon off of the trail even...

    Love of Shooting in the Age of the 'Rona and The Big Guy

    I sort of blew my fun budget at the range Saturday! 20 rounds of .416 Rigby, 30 rounds of .338 Win Mag, 50 rounds of 10mm and 100 rounds of 9mm. May have to get my wife to get a job so I can afford to replace all of that ammo. But it sure was fun!
