I believe it’s one of terms that is not always consistent between different groups, but amongst hunters I think pancreas is usually what they are referring too. I’m sure someone how knows better can expand or correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not even sure I could identify it

I have been thinking about attempting to make my own casings, just out of curiosity, but are you saying most folks peel the casing before eating? I have eaten sausages with them, though didn’t particularly enjoy the casings. Should I have been peeling them?

Thanks for the book recommendation. Ordering it right now!

Swap it out for the black matte one?! S/F

Same with slush and rain going down your back! Unless I’m in a cab all day I like that 360 brim.

I have been looking for recipes and experimenting more and more with “waste” pieces, but have yet to get that adventurous. I did try a little dish I believe was called Umchaza. Turned out to be eland colon. Pretty sure the only ones eating it were me and the pHs. Not bad

How is something like that Akubra hat in 90f / 33c + temps?

I have always hated wearing ball caps and I picked up some fedora style wool hats from local shops (guessing less than 40 dollars) in the 90’s. Those have been my preference for the elements and held up strong for decades. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find replacements of the same quality. Been...

Very nice. I didn’t know they would carve the skulls like that. Really like the carved warthog.

I am no longer good in the sun/ heat. I had what I thought was the perfect wide brim, breathable hat, but left the dang thing at security at JNB. I have not been able to find any current production hats like it, but I think tag had something I might settle for. In the heat I got by with a mesh...

Man I hope an offer like this is still available when I get my s together. Hope to see some trip reports!

Prayers for Michael and his family. Praying for full and speedy recovery ❤️‍

Wide for the foreseeable future!

Your right about Kenmore not being a good spot for this meet up, but in case anyone is interested, you can sort of use sticks on the member side. Shots are limited to 100 yards if you stand on the platform or you can position yourself in between the built in benchrest for a very unnaturally...

I had a friend that (moved away) always spoke highly of that range. Never been there myself. What is the yardage there? I am a member at Kenmore, but 300 yard max and (understandably) very safety conscious. Think 375 h&h is about the upper limit.

I live near Seattle, so not a lot of great range options up this way. A get together sometime sound like a nice idea though.

Did you have a range or general location in mind? I’m a pretty serious introvert, but I typically have the energy to talk to other hunters…

I could not see myself making an initial shot with 375 H&H, at game, that far, but yes, I suspect I would have confidence, so long as conditions were reasonable. Glass is clear enough and reticle simplifies both close range and longer shots. I have read and participated in similar discussions...

Very fine set up, in both form and function! My first safari was next-door to where your headed in MOZ, (shot a red duiker near and had lunch with Jaco's crew in his camp). So, I have an idea what you are in for. Very excited for you. Like you spent decades thinking about it before something...

These are what I wore in the Marine Corps. Available on Amazon.. These are what I assume we were talking about when referring to boot garters/bands, no?

I have only been on one safari, but I wore boot bands the entire time. On my trip, I found Moz. to be Just like all the other dry, brushy places I have been. I brought a pair of safari gaiters, as suggested by outfitter, but ended up giving them to one of my trackers who was using old socks for...

I don't think I'm finding the shoe you're talking about... Closest thing I have come across so far are these.

Me too! Unfortunately out shape and out of work at the moment, but I intend to hunt Romania not too far down the road!!

Now I have another book I need to track down. I would really like to see how it deviates from Robertson’s book. Is it written more from a PH’s perspective (I mean more based on typical shooter ability’s/ field conditions)? I have actually wanted to dig into this, because although Robertson’s...

I really appreciated the data, and perspective shared in Perfect Shot II and kept the mini buffalo field guide with me in the car, work, bathroom, to regularly study the angles and anatomy. I felt much more confident when I arrived in camp and could not imagine headed out without using them...

I’m not sure if I could still send them back, probably. Once I committed to squeezing my wide foot in there I decided to just spritz them with water periodically and let my feet naturally stretch them. Maybe I’m wrong but I assumed if I sent them in that’s all they would do is stretch them out...

Th Thanks Pablo, How was the break in? I almost sent mine back thinking they were to tight and narrow.

I should have asked you guys before I place my order!

My ankles are screwed up and I have found in the past that custom boots (non-cowboy) were well worth the price for me. Beck’s niche seemed to be more of a no frills, durable, “working cowboy” boot, which is what I was looking for. Not that I’m a working cowboy, but I wanted something that was...

Custom, with the mail in kit. About a 13-14 month wait.

I recently received my Beck cowboy boots. Mixed feelings so far. Wondering others experience with Beck (or other cowboy boot makers). This is the closest thing to social media I partake in, so I thought I’s ask!

Happy Easter!

Do those of you traveling on rewards points usually travel with firearms? Ran into any issues? I had initially used points to book my first trip, then read some bad stories about flying with firearms and getting hosed. To be on the safe side I had my reward points returned and just paid...

My boy harvested his first animal (feral goat) in Hawaii. Both diy and guided hunts, with other critters available too. Sooner or later I’ll get back and take one of those Vancouver bulls. It is a fun place to hunt.

All the tiny, all the eland and all the wildebeest. This would take me to the places on my bucket list. For DG all the buffalo, and I suppose if money were really no object then id try out elephant and a lion tracking hunt. I really want to get into the Congo, Cameroon region especially for...

I guess we both need to get back to moz then! I wouldn’t mind taking another older Suni if I can find one, but I really regret not spending time on those eland and not getting my Niassa wildebeest. But I think my next couple trips will probably be focusing on some more of those tiny 10+.

So what kind of differences are there in the subspecies? Are they pretty obvious?

I found Kingdon's available, that one seems a little tougher to get my hands on.

I understand that there are 4 subspecies of Suni, but I have yet to find a distribution map or explanation of their extent. One of my most memorable hunts was Suni in Niassa. What are the differences between these guys? Are they all huntable?

As the US has such a near perfect track record of well-tailored and strategically crafted sanctions, I am confident this administration too will find much success with this endeavor.

Great thread! I have been looking for a mag spring and had no idea a M98 would fit. Never thought about some of these ideas. like locktiteing the cross bolts.

I wouldn't mind adding one of those adventure bikes to my stable.

I moved to WA as a youngster, from a non hunting family. I am far from dialed in, but more than a 400" Rocky Mountain, my bucket list is a Roosevelt on the Olympic Peninsula. I have all but given up on hunting in WA, but for the dream of taking a bull out of that rainforest.

My 375 has really grown on me, but I don't really have the opportunity to shoot it long range (>300) yards very often. I don't ever see myself taking an initial shot much past that distance anyway, but I would like to practice. You guys dialed in to those west side Roosvelt are most...

I guess I assumed we were talking about a typical hunting round (Poco's 180gr accubond vs 260 gr chart is kind of what I assuming folks would be using). I understand the 375 is generally not going to be shooting as flat at 500 yards as a 300 WM, but wondered to what degree on a hunting round. I...

Just curious, what is the drop on say a .300 WM at 500 yards? Like 40"?

I went with Kambako in SEP, so I suspect you will have a little different scenery. I myself love the thick brush and think you’re still in for a fantastic hunt. Seemed, like everyone in my camp had slightly different priorities, but all found something they were interested in pursuing each day...
