    Anti-Hunter Attack

    The punchline would've changed, Here. LOL We kind of expect that, outside the USA. What lengths they'll go to for such a political setup nowadays, in the bought-and-sold Land of the Libs...

    For Sale Dakota 76 Safari 375H&H left Hand

    Good price. Which is cheaper: a RH conversion or "corrective" surgery?? LOL 'Have a northpaw version in .300 WM w/ a Zeiss I'm going to let go of as the weather is just never nice enough for The Queen! (It's perfect for Africa or the SW!) GLWS. It won't take long...

    Cape buffalo vs the rest?

    You can see the Big 5 while on PG safari in Namibia. As Gemsbok are desert animals farther S. and lechwe up N. in the more lush Caprivi, you'll see a LOT of country and all of its wildlife in doing so. It'll either be a long drive or additional flights when in-country. We once got lucky and...

    Wanted: Top end Pronghorn hunt

    '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...

    Got scammed

    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...

    How can the mechanical stress exerted by DG cartridges on the action be estimated? Peak pressure alone is not a solution

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

    Will the Middle East conflict affect your hunt plans

    '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...

    Mexico warning and heads- up

    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...

    on a lighter note...

    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!

    What is a proper "stopping rifle" and load for dangerous game?

    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

    What is a proper "stopping rifle" and load for dangerous game?

    '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...

    What is a proper "stopping rifle" and load for dangerous game?

    '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...

    White Sands NM Oryx-Any Experiences Good or Bad

    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...

    Traveling to Namibia With Reloads

    '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...
