Hi @Rare Breed ! I think Namibia is a close second in terms of accommodations. It’s the clear winner in terms of safety.

Awesome hunt, Mark. The film is incredible. Congratulations!

400 g Swift, Woodleigh, or Barnes would be my top choices.

300 H&H is not included in your list. It should be, 416 Rigby is my next favorite.

Splendid trophy!

That’s how I plan to have my next Buffalo trophy done. Nice!

I read Dalton and York’s post today regarding their convention plans. Dalton mentioned that he’s unable to attend the conventions this year because of restrictions on Zimbabweans getting visas. York has a non-Zim passport so he will be attending. Does anyone have a read on the impact of the...

I had the same problem with much cheaper Walker’s electronic plugs. I’ve learned that they must be stored and kept charged or they’ll soon become unchargeable.

I was wondering the same thing last night! Thanks for asking! Bought tickets for me and the missus yesterday. Room booked. My son may even be able to get the time off and join us! He’s a young Paramedic and time off can be hard to come by. Fingers crossed.

It depends on your notion of what a hard hunt is. There are hard hunts, and then there are HARD hunts. My idea of a truly difficult hunt, thinking in terms of climate, topography and wariness of the quarry, is mountain goat hunting. I walked, hiked, climbed and crawled on all fours for 2 weeks...

The only real remedy for Congress is to impeach. An abrogation of Article 5 would certainly put Trump in direct conflict with Congress. Whether this scenario comes true or not, I believe control of Congress is likely to switch in November. If so, the House will certainly impeach…..there’s...

You betcha! The US is still the most consequential nation. Ask Maduro or Kahmenei, Castro or for that matter Ursula Von der Leyen. Unfortunately, Trump has become an unguided missile. As much as a headache to our allies as a friend. Spasmodic unpredictability is regrettable but it doesn’t...

Patrick booked my flight to Namibia when he was with TWG way back in 2019. Qatar used to fly direct to Windhoek back then. Anyway, the issue you describe was the case even back then. I had to fly to Dallas on American, claim my guns and recheck them on Qatar.

Winchester the ammo company and Winchester the rifle company are two separate entities. Have been since Olin sold Winchester to the Winchester Arms employees back in 1980. The gun company has changed hand a couple of times since then. Olin still owns the ammo company. Ammo problems are Olin’s...
