    First Gun Purchase for new Hunter

    I did not know that. I was about to reply that I’ve done it (taken eland with 30-06) twice without any comment from the PH. But a quick look back tells me I’ve taken eland in Botswana and Moz. Never in Zim.

    I KNOW IT IS OVERKILL BUT WHAT BULLET AND WEIGHT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IN .458 WIN MAG FOR LEOPARD?

    I would say that the events of the past are done and known. You are now asking me to pick one out of two choices. A completely separate decision. I do not think that this can be ignored. If so, I’ll bring someone in off of the street and have them make the decision for me. Their odds are 1...

    I would say that the events of the past are done and known. You are now asking me to pick one out of two choices. A completely separate decision. Are you stating that the chosen Powerball ticket has a 1% chance of being a winner and the other has a 99% chance ? If you brought...

    I know that your game show / door scenario is supposedly true, but I have yet to have it explained to me such that I can understand/ wrap my head around it. In the explanations I’ve read, it seems that one of their arguments is non-sensical. But hey, that’s just me. A man’s gotta know...

    I haven’t shot a leopard, but have shot a few buffalo. IDK what scope you are using on your 458, but it would be unusual to have one that will pick out a certain rosette on a leopard at last light in the darkness of a tree from 100 yards, if that’s where you end up having to set the blind. I...

    Don’t do that. It’s as easy to take two rifles as one. Take one you can be precise with. That ain’t a 458 WM.

    Is TSA trustworthy?

    I put TSA locks on ammo case and rifle case. No issues in 11 safaris to 5 different countries. YMMV. ( But I doubt it :cool: )
