Welcome to AH! Erik has some critters of mine in the shop now. I've also hunted turkeys with him on his ranch. And btw, I work just down the street from your alma mater.

Have a great hunt!

I think the thing you have failed to mention or take into account is how cities developed in this country vs Europe for example. Cities in Europe are much more densely populated than in the USA. The reason for that goes back in time to the land outside of cities being owned by the wealthy in...

Raw oysters with a little lemon and a bottle of Tabasco, I'm set. See the edit of my post above, I think you'd be surprised at how tasty heart meat is.

Civilized is not an adjective normally associated with you Louisiana bayou types, just sayin'. :) I'm actually with you on mostly not eating any of the organs. I've tried liver a few times, no thanks. The liver is a filter, why would I want to eat something full of stuff the animal didn't...

I don't think you'll ever be disappointed in these bullets if you're able to finally get them and get loads developed. I find whatever powder seems to work with my rifles in other bullet types, it will work well with the North Fork bullets too. And usually with a grain or two less to achiever...

You didn't offend me. @ActionBob gave my stomach a turn however.

The poor bastard who blew himself up, he may never be identified even if the Russians tried. The second video....just wow. You should kill yourself rather than waiting for the drone to get you, that way you're no longer a problem for us. It's not suicide, it's a glorious death for your...

I and my bank account thank you! Let us know how it shoots.

Had you been 3 days sooner we could've met up in Atlanta, have a great trip.

Up at 5am this morning working the brisket on the Traeger. It's now 6:20am and I just sat down to my coffee and have to read this first thing......thanks Bob for that visual to start the day.

Congrats on the bears and for making it home and confirming I'll never go to Russia.

It's worth watching the embedded videos in this Fox News link: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-rebuked-oxford-debate-condemning-americans-clouded-guns-gays-god

@dogcat1, Do you which factory this was built at?

I nominate @WAB for POTUS! Do I have a second?

Well I don’t think it’s the same thing, but I’m not defending Biden here. It’s a dumb decision and I disagree with it as I said above. No need to shout.

That's not what I read. He said he would not provide the weapons/munitions needed for going into Rafah. Other support would remain. I disagree with the Rafah decision, but let's keep it accurate.

Thank you for your posts @wildcatter82. Could you please clarify what your relationship is in regards to North Fork?

Welcome to AH!

Welcome to AH! i've traveled from Phoenix to Austin and College Station to visit friends and family and have flew thru Sonora more times than I can count now. I say flew thanks to those high speed limits. I've probably seen more deer than people in that part of Texas. You've come to the...

I don't think the comments about her impending demise are meant to be judgmental. It's about the political liability and lack of good judgement publishing the even regarding the dog. There was nothing to gain by doing so only the lost of her political career in doing so. I come from a line of...

Welcome to AH!

Special cases begging for a fix? Try special cases intentionally designed to work in short action and short barreled rifles. The result wasn't an accident.

It's hard to argue with that and so I won't. Although I wouldn't classify it as narcissism, more like arrogance sprinkled with ignorance of other's desires. Perhaps well intended, but it does not always work. Having said that, I don't quite get what you're saying on NATO. You seem to think...

Welcome to AH, you have found a great resource for the information you're seeking.

Welcome to AH!

That is correct, it was a lioness in 2016 if anyone wants to look back at hunt reports from late that year. She was an agitated girl to say the least that we had bumped a few times. It was a frontal shot on her brisket as she was laying down but head up. On the shot her head just dropped...

Glad you seem to have it sorted. I bought one of those Hornady case prepping tools awhile back. A very nice add to the bench. One of the motorized features is for chamfering the case mouth. The head has several cutting blades and it only takes a moment of touching the case to the blades to...

Welcome to AH!

I hate to ask an obvious question but unless I missed it, I didn’t see where you said you chamfered the case mouth. Did you make sure to do that? Once in awhile I forget that simple step and it’s quite obvious quickly in that the bullets are harder to seat.

A side issue and just as important from my perspective is the rights of the parents. One step at a time until it becomes normalized that the gov't has more control over parenting than the parents.

Been a long time since I lived in MD, grew up in the D.C. suburbs. Welcome to AH!

Corporate America and its stockholders run the game. Think back to the movie "Wall Street." As Gordon Gecko put it, greed works...greed is good. Really? I don't think so. Greed has ruined companies and it in the end results in lesser financial results. Boeing lost it's way and may be...

Welcome from a resident of the coming inferno (aka Phoenix)!

The question ends quickly if you're only going to take one rifle. At least if you're going to an area with big and ill tempered animals. And that means .375HH or bigger. With 300gr bullets my .375HH is at least a 200 yard gun and with proper bullet placement, typical PG drop very quickly...

Airplanes: It's hard to pick just one. I've been fascinated with aircraft since I was a kid I've no idea how many Tester's airplane models I put together when I was growing up. WWII Era: The form of the Corsair and Spitfire makes them the prettiest. The design that was ahead of its time in...

Thanks. The Sandy Mount area would remind you a bit of parts of west Texas. Very open in places and a bit higher in elevation. It gets quite chilly there during the RSA winter.

Never before can I remember the status of what we have to choose from for the upcoming election. On one side we have a candidate that never seems to let an opportunity go by to say, do something and/or don't do something to seal a defeat. On the other side we have essentially the same, a...

Well I do hope you like meat. South Africans prefer meat for main course, meat for a vegetable and sometimes meat for dessert (ok maybe not the last one). And it's really good from the sausages to the various preparations of game meat. Eland, Gemsbok and Springbok are my favorites. Biltong...

Welcome to AH! Have you thought about what you'd like out of your first trip to Africa? Not just animals you'd like to hunt, but also the type of experience you're looking for.

I will be hunting with @KWALATA SAFARIS this July. Have known Jaco for years and looking forward to it. So I second Marius' suggestion. I believe that Gavin of @PANTHER TRACKERS picks his clients up in Tete. So you may wish to look him up too. Hope it works out!

Sorry for your loss, I hate losing my dogs.

I have experience with the CEB bullets. Killed a number of game with them in Africa with my .458B&M using quite light for caliber 260gr Raptors. And a black bear using I think it's a 480gr Raptor, the one intended for buffalo anyway. Make no mistake about it gents, they are killers. When...

Welcome to AH!

I'll second that, same experience for me.

I've never hunted elephant for FWIW, a Texas heart shot as first.....seems risky to say the least.

Time to take a breather gents and realize how likely blessed you are that you're even on this great website. It likely means you've done well enough for yourself that you're either seriously considering a hunt in Africa or have been, perhaps multiple times. I'm tellin' ya gents, you'd benefit...

I'm not a Marine of any sort, but I do know what that means.

I believe you're giving Biden a pass on immigration he does not deserve. I think his problem now is he hasn't any ability to put together a complex thought and strategy. He is being controlled by those in the background and just being told to play along with what he's told. This is why his...

I've always wondered about the notion that the plastic tip helps initiate expansion in the TTSX. Plastic vs copper.....hmm?
