So about that trailer. While the guys were packing 50 lbs of crap into a 30 lb land cruiser, the parking lot guard came by and suggested they buy a trailer. My outfitter found that suggestion... Distasteful. Lol. Later, on the way out to the site, we saw another type of trailer.

You guys are too kind . This is my first thank you to all of the folks here that give copious amounts of knowledge and advice on the travel process. I used Gracy travel as my trip was interwoven with a few other countries for my day job and they've been great. But also the guidance on packing...

Let's hope this is a short lived gimmick by Leupold I think they're base in Oregon? Having spent 2+ years on the Southside of Portland I can attest the state gov is insane. Perhaps this is a gov required feature? Looking forward to hearing what they say.

I promise this isn't a Rick Steve's thread. I'm finally flying out of CDG tomorrow evening to JNB. Starting to get excited. But permit me one last plug for a favorite place and local food. Dropped over to Vilnius Lithuania to see some dear old friends. A great low-key old Eastern...

Gorgeous bongo. Congrats! Hope to visit the jungle for one someday.

I'll keep the tourism stuff to a dull roar but my daughter graduated this spring so she got to fly over to London for the weekend for a reward. We celebrated with her having a meat pasty from Paddington station, and some pub fish n chips and her first hand-pulled bitter as well as a few...

One of my favorite "art in motion" things to watch is a deer jumping a fence from a side view. I let a nice 8 point, 4-5 yr whitetail go just to let him jump the fence a few seasons ago. Early, Misty morning. Then I sat there finishing my coffee with a big dumb grin on my face.

@Hank2211 - Joberg. then up in the madikwe area. Paris is lovely this time of year for a stopover if your sitting outside in shorts drinking wine and watching the scenery, both the stationary and non-stationary. (forget the baguette? Don't worry they'll remind you. :cool:) But if you're...

Some of you are excellent writers. My strengths lie elsewhere.... At least that's the theory I'm told and so I'll keep looking for them. This will be mostly pics, comments, musings, and possibly some bitching and moaning (when and if appropriate) to eventually resemble my own bastardized...

I've tried the axil xcor's and the walkers - both of them the earbud version. I sent them all back and went back to the over the ear electronic muffs. walker razor's. I can't abide the wind noise feedback from the earbuds. It's not as bad with electronic muffs for some reason. If you're...

Such a little twat I hope that young man gets his head straight someday

The west has become too soft on crime and evil in general. We're also in this post-modernist relativism phase of stupid where each person's truth is their own truth. We're going to be circling the drain if we don't pull our heads out. Alas, it's probably a long way off and will require some...

Rocky - "but that trick never works!" Bullwinkle - "this time for SHOOOure" Love it.

Very much enjoyed your storytelling. Good stuff!!

my aerial door gunner quals are a couple decades out of date, but if Cali secedes and declares war on the union... I could be talked into signing back up. Hell put me on horseback with a pistol. (besides... the new minigun is soooooo much cooler than the old m60)

Watch your 6 folks. I suspect this is coming (in a well-orchestrated manner) to a town near you. Don't take the bait. Thankfully, we have a federal gov't in place that is not going to roll over and be pansies and also hold the line of doing it the right way.

Great pics. Amazing buffalo you guys got.

Have a great time. I'm gonna be 20 days behind you. Don't kill everything on the continent before I get there

At least they could do a basic grammar check before publishing. Sheesh.

Bravo. And ditto.

You got a toad! Excellent buffalo. Congrats!

This is absolutely on my list but probably not this year. We have good friends (practically family) in Lithuania so we're over there occasionally and I would love to tie in this hunt with a future trip. Watching with interest.

Kill on sight Kill on sight Kill on sight.

Great hunting report and thank you for sending me a link to it @Foxi

FWIW - 270 gr has a bit less recoil, about 8" less drop at 400 yards, and still is only 100 ft-lbs below the 300gr at 400 yards. Both are around 1800 ft-lbs at that distance which is easily within conservative needs for elk. My blaser r8 puts a 270gr over varget at 0.688" at 200 yards off a...

Love it! You're luck to have barely escaped with your life!

Dammit man. Don't go bringing logic into these things.

Years ago, a much younger Datchew took the catamaran out to Rottnest Island off the coast of Perth to view the cute little quokkas (sp?) hopping around the island and eat amazing meat pies at the local bakery with a pair of local girls we met up with. Afterward, we did some snorkeling on the...

That is what I'd call a target rich environment. You needed napalm!

We have a good friend that got hit on their property in Seguin about 10 months ago. Snake bites can be nasty and treatment very prolonged. Pretty amazing and scary creatures. They pack a wallop!

The magazine would need to be the size of a mainsail.

If there is a 6.5 manbun, does it follow to designate this cartridge the 8.6 hipster hair?

Ha ha. I hear you. But we all wise up a little eventually. Some of us slower than others.

But tactically tossed right?

I use pretty decent volume of #34's in my 762 NATO clone load. Br2 for 308 and 300wm. 250's for 375 h&h. I've had a blown out primer on a loose pocket in 308 but never a dud on any CCI. Following. I'm interested to hear more on CCI experiences. I've been thinking of moving to federal GM...

Awww I thought this was gonna be a Monty Python thread.

I've cut through brush tight enough to make you crawl. Anyone that's ever stalked deer in a group in Maine (make sure you keep it under 3 or the Northwoods law dogs will getcha!) knows what it's like. You almost can't see more than 40 yards in some areas. The suppressor isn't the issue as...

In case the OP doesn't already know, there have been a few things tossed around here that can get confusing. Forgive me if I'm being captain obvious here. Different rifle models have different lengths of actions to accommodate bolts, falling blocks, or other variances in design. Thus, the...

looks fun. It seems those baboons are like the wild pigs here in the US. Only likely smarter. And look at the chompers on those things!

I'm thankful to the OP for taking the time to lay out a good guide. I'm even more thankful he didn't include pictures of men's underwear. :cool:

I like suppressors and have one on my 375. It's wonderful but my r8 has a carbon fiber thumb hole stock. It's a function built setup. A lot of folks are all about the looks. While I may be more of a function over fashion type of guy, I do admit that the optics of a blue steel and walnut gun...

Love it. Fun with flair. I have zero mounts w hair. All skulls and Europeans but this makes me consider doing something different with a warthog.

They look like huge cuddly versions of my labradors but instead of licking your leg they'd just eat you in 4-5 bites. Enjoying the narrative. Hope you get a toad!

I'm a bow hunter but have never hunted any dangerous game with pointy sticks. I find the very idea daunting and I'm impressed you're going for it. When I first started, I was overly cautious and hesitant hunting with a bow. Yes, there are higher risks (my opinion) of wounding an animal than...

Remembering those we lost, friends and strangers that served. And may God bless those in service now.

A rifled shotgun barrel can send a thumb sized piece of lead in a pretty accurate manner. I've used threaded barrels on a remmy 870 on pigs in the swamps of Florida with great effect. It's easy to relate the recoil of a 12 ga shotgun with that of a rifle cartridge in your head but they're...
