    Ahhh no. We are not seeing applicants from African Americans as a whole. It has nothing to do with Hr. Our managers do the hiring, you can not hire someone that doesn't apply in the first place. Why is the question.

    I don't know what the answer is. I work for a large aerospace manufacturer, you known, the one with door issues. Anyway, we just hired on 35 new employees into entry level manufacturing positions. In that group, Hispanic and Asian make up about 15% the rest is Caucasian. Not I single African...

    Well put Sgt Zim, I'm not afraid to say that really screwed up. Aside from a few good butt chewings, which I fully deserve, most of the comments have been positive. But mostly educational. Now this is from personal experience and observation, yet I'm hesitant to say it. Skin color appears to be...

    Scent control

    My wife claims that I fit right in at the hippo ponds. I grew up bow hunting, playing the wind is key. We did have any sent control washes or weird deodorant. As a matter of fact, we usually hung up our clothes out side for a few days. On a dairy farm, the local deer would be use to farm...

    What sticks in your mind about Africa?

    As others have said, the Cape Turtle Dove. But my wife would say the sounds of hyena chasing off a lion to steal a kill. It was outside of our tent in the middle of the night..

    A asked a moderator if they could remove the post. He told me to hang in there and I will blow over. In general, they don't remove post. I'm not sure this one will blow over. It may pass up the Rolex post.

    Well, truth be told. I'm kind of partial to my 375h&h model 70. If I bought your rife, I wouldn't be able to go on my hunt in Africa, I'd have to pay off the rifle. Here is the kicker, my wife is a bankruptcy attorney. Being married to an attorney, is more dangerous than any Cape Buffalo in...

    I think shotgun world has a breakdown of the Razzini family tree on their Web site

    Watch this Video. We had 6 hunters in the blind. We harvested 42 late season honkers in 1.5 hours. It took us way longer to build the blind, set decoys and clean up everything, than it did to actually hunt.

    Italian doubles?

    Nice gun for money. But, it's not made by Razzini and yet is. It's all about one big assed Italian family. I'll try and explain it. Bautista Razzini makes Razzini. Isadora Razzini is a brother, he owns Fair. Battista Razzini makes the BR550, 552 shotguns, and the Rhino double rifle as mentioned...

    Italian doubles?

    I'll check it out. I have looked at their guns before and was impressed. I have a Fausti Dea SxS in 20ga. The Italian guns just fit me. Fausti does have a double in 9.3x74r., but it would be a tad light for Cape Buffalo.

    The mouth of the Skagit river, the Pot holes near Moses Lake. Ah the Skagit wildlife area by Stanwood. The Samish hunting unit near Bow/Edison. All over.

    I worded the question inappropriately and I have regret of the posting. But if you read rest of the form you'll see what my intentions are.

    I'd get a Heym 89b in 450NE, but I feel it would come attached with divorce papers

    That last paragraph is something rather interesting and certainly research worthy. The more information the better. I did talk to a RSA safari company that went over all the details post hunt. Especially when it comes to the meat. I can't take it with me so it goes to a local village. I told...

    I wish that I could have asked the question differently, but I didn't. Like I said before, I wasn't trying to ruffle any feathers.

    Good God, where is my Bowmore 18. Why in the hell did I ever post here. Thank you to the people who were kind, but the rest of you will pick anything apart for pure sport.

    I've probably been to most of those restaurants with my wife. My wife told me the secret to good Chinese food. If everyone is speaking Chinese, it's good. Then I asked her how I can find the good stuff myself? She simply said, you can't without me.

    I used to race mountain bike for nearly 10 years. My team was know to be mischievous. The name was given, the name stuck. That and my first name rhymes with Sketchy.

    When I was in Moshi Tanzania I asked our guide to take us to the open air market. He was very hesitant and warned us, that tourist don't go there. He called his boss and told them that that is what we wanted to do. His boss then asked us, if that is what we really wanted. We went, and it was...

    What better place is there, to ask this question, than Africahunting.com? I'm the one asking the questions. I want to hunt cap buffalo and plains game. Who I choose is up to me. And here is a photo to prove I'm not a racist prick. I'm white, wife is Chinese, brother in law is in the right, and...

    Black owned hunting safari businesses?

    This is not a loaded question all, nor is that the intent. When I travel in Africa, I prefer to spend my money at small local businesses. When I was looking for a tour operator in Tanzania, I wanted to make sure all of my money stayed within those communities. So no European/American travel...

    Boeing Aircraft

    I work for Boeing up here in Wa State, and am currently in the 737 program. The FAA is in the house looking up everyones asses, as the should. We need to do some serious soul searching. Come Sept, we union members, will most likely go on strike. One of our demands is that we get a seat on the...

    Beretta BRX1

    I'm going to buy the Beretta BRX 1 in a year. If they don't offer any new barrel options within that year, I'll buy something else. Only Beretta can screw that up.

    Beretta BRX1

    True, but not at a $1,500 price point. Did you ever think that some of us don't want to spend 10k on a rifle? That's the entire point of the original post.

    I hope they get this right, we need more options than Blaser.
