'Hunted the Rockin' 7 Ranch (~250K ac) in Shawnee/Glendo WY back in '17. The Reese family and all their hands are super-nice people. They even had seasonal Amish helpers which I always enjoyed talking to (as I deal w/ em all the time at home-and they too love hunting.) Nice digs. The ranch...

Seller doesn't appear to be American from some of the writing and only metric units on the scale. Plus, what is that name?? Bucky or Buc-ees foreign interpretation? Zelle will be able to track the payee account and your bank (mine uses Zelle so it's covered under their transactions) can...

Less is best for the Manufacturer sales today, until...(Not all, but most!)

'Had an Iranian Urial/Mouflon hunt scheduled for the 1st week of March. Well, those plans got blown to Hell! Flight in on Iran Air was diverted due to excessive smoke and engine failures. People from Republic rent-a-car didn't show. The ocean freight company went missing completely...

What Spike said was very informative. The other comment re: the travel ins. co. lol I have Clients that had to sue (or threaten to sue via counsel) their long-time ins. co. for coverage in clear claim cases. They care about $ NOT You or your fam! (One of the most profitable businesses on...

That's offensive! Thank you. LOL My teen son found the FUNNIEST MJ impersonator video EVER (15 yrs ago!) I'll find and post sometime soon...I think the guy was from Jamaica. A riot!

Let's try that again (AH won't allow me to edit as 9 nanoseconds elapsed since the post): Plus rate limiting ("you must wait 37 sec before attempting to post") SMFH

'Missing a few cartridges (i.e. .577, .600 etc.-easy enough to interpolate) but, in the end (and it could very well be The End,) you're going to have to contend with this. Use enough gun weight!!! And then there's the damage imparted upon your body. There's a great old flick featuring...

'Stopping gun is generally for PH use. Something that generates a lot of E (7,000 J+) and has a large, long wound-channel causing bullet. 'Seen a lot of .500s carried (NE in doubles, A-Sq being the old favorite in bolt) by 'em for elephant and hippo, a couple .577 doubles, but .416 is the norm...

What will you be hunting with it?

It is a very cool area just to drive through and take pics (and I believe there are Ibex in another not too far away?) An old-time gun trader in Silver City advised years ago that the hunt was going to be difficult! A hunt for the national animal in Namibia (S. African Oryx) will likely cost...

'Same experience, excepting they DID inspect the ammo (counted the rounds-or asked me to confirm the number in ea plastic reloading box) every single trip. I just cannot see this being a problem as so many handloaders dial-in their guns perfectly for such hunts. I've read ALL the stories about...

My local HS had a biathalon team in the '80s and prior (because it's a tourist/retiree area, there's more tax $ allotted to the school district to fund such things!) 'NOT knocking the school as both my kids (called it "Boot Camp") attended and both are Doctors today. 'Went to college with a...

That list is obviously long, but IF you study it, there was actually no need for the modern introductions that do nothing more (excepting Sales & Marketing!) IF 6.5-06 A-Sq actually became a thing, that would've spared a LOT of nonsense, for starters! :p Americans LOVE deer hunting, so that...

*we have made some of the most spectacular shots (out to 750 yards using Burris Fullfield scopes of ALL types-including the $300-$400 4-14x. I have only made shots to 300 using the 2-7 and 8x in .338-06 and similar enough 350 Rem Mag. IF you find a great shape older Signature Series (I had one...
