Not an expanded soft but brandy works good on solids.

The hunter in the video is a highly decorated Team USA sporting clay and FITASC champion. He knows how to pull a trigger. I think this case highlights how quickly things can go wrong and what adrenaline can do to you. Are you still active in the flyer circuit?

I love the smell of the air after the first good cold front of the year hits north Texas. I also don’t mind diesel fuel or two stroke exhaust. The salting shed in camp was a smell I’ll never forget either.

That’s wild, by the time I opened the site up again it was gone. Never would’ve figured it would sell for 17!

Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve. This was a beautiful rifle and it sounds like whoever won the bid got a great deal. I hope it is used in Africa as intended. I will verbally abuse myself for a few days over not making a move on this one.

Thank you Sir, I lucked out when I found this one. The bull green scored 43-1/8.

I have been a life long fan of the Ruger No1 since my father brought his first one home. I appreciate their elegance and function. When I booked my first Safari I made it very clear to the PH that I would be using a No1 in 416 RM with iron sights. He had no qualms about that so the hunt was on...

I’ll be amongst the sunflowers tomorrow provided we don’t get rained out.

I had three friends along for our first safari. They all harvested some wonderful PG and kept the camp pots full of meat. To clear up any confusion I’m not neglecting PG because I think they’re too easy to hunt. There are just other things I’d rather hunt in Africa. Hell, I’d walk past a big...

I don’t have anything against plains game. I greatly enjoy following the posts here and looking at pictures of successful PG hunts. I would even like to hunt a select few species in Africa someday but outside of that I have little personal desire to hunt PG. I deer hunt here in Texas a couple...

I would love the leopard fraction of my 5 to be with hounds in a perfect world. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind if they hung up goats purchased from a local farmer.
