Here's another I sort of like. The light is nice and the way the dog is just chilling out really captures something.

So here's some perspective. We had some friends come visit us in the rural Rocky Mountains from overseas. They had never been to the Western Hemisphere before. They were pretty nervous about crime in the US from what they've seen on the news. I sort of laughed it off, but it did get me...

I second that. Hunted with him in 2022 and had a great time.

There are a lot of possibilities here, and there’s a chance you’ll find something that works well. I’ve been shooting a .416 Rigby (400 gr at 2450 fps), and if I’m not careful, I’ll can sometimes get a headache too. I’ve mitigated this by shooting off of the sticks, videoing myself shooting to...

For me it's a 21" barrel with a 5" Ultra 5. :)

I've probably taken the most game with my walnut-stocked Wby MkV in .300 Wby. It's roughly 10-15 years older than I am, and I've owned it since the 1980s. It's been re-stocked once and re-barreled and re-blued once. It's been to Africa 2 or 3 times and all over the Western US. More recently...

More than I can count, and far beyond the regular jackets and hats. Free animals at times (birthday blesbok for example), free animals for my kids. The gift of excellent humor, camaraderie, and sharing miles of dusty tracks and trails. The gift of excellent meals, book recommendations, music...

No double, but I can’t imagine putting a sling on one.

Transiting through Frankfort is actually very nice, but from where I live it means flying United — not my favorite. The transit through Joburg isn’t all that bad. If you want easy and simple, use the outfitter’s rifles, which I have done on 3 of my trips. I REALLY miss the KLM flight through...

I’ve hunted in Namibia 7 times with one DG Caprivi hunt in 2022. Shoot me a PM if you’d like a recommendation. I know some folks that would love to host a first-time hunter. Excellent trophy quality too. I have bird-hunted with them in the past and I understand they also do fishing from...

The one where you’re having a good time.

It is ethical to take a high percentage shot. If that means he’s standing, lying, dancing the Watusi, or 20 feet up a tree, go for it. ;)

7 trips, zero mambas, but I usually hunt in the Kalahari where they aren’t too common. Plenty of cape cobras and puff adders though. 10 days in the Caprivi in 2022 - zero snakes, but there were fresh mamba tracks in camp most days. My Kalahari PH sent me a video of a BIG mamba climbing...

It’s sort of a dumb question, IMO. Not all mature bull buffalo are Dugga boys. Let’s start there. Zebra & Gemsbok - females can be perfectly legitimate trophies. Better to shoot stallions/bulls, but only by a bit. Most PG - females can be hunted, but only if it’s rational for the population...
