    Magnum flintch

    If I’m trying to shoot the center of a 10 ring off a bench, I’ll let the shot surprise me on a gentle squeeze. If I’m shooting my Lott or 404 Jeffery, the last damn thing I want is to be surprised. I put the crosshairs where I want and pull the trigger. Hard. I don’t jerk it, but I damn well...

    If you want to shoot dangerous game..

    If you don’t put yourself in harm’s way to hunt dangerous game, it really isn’t dangerous game then, is it? I’m so confused by that last post. I’m off to bed. :cool:

    If you want to shoot dangerous game..

    Exactly. It’s simply using animals for target practice. I know this topic has been beat to death, but it’s one of the few I have a strong opinion on, so I’ll lay on a few more licks for good measure. :cool: Your 700 yard shot won’t impress anyone that’s a hunter. Your 7 yard shot would.

    If you want to shoot dangerous game..

    I’ll play devil’s advocate. I content it’s LESS dangerous overall to shoot buffalo at 25 yards than it is at 100. The chance of a good clean shot in the right spot is much greater. Making the follow up much less dangerous. I insist on getting close to Buffalo.

    AH Dinners for both DSC & SCI 2026

    We are at 506 Lofts. Apartments just down the street from the Ryman. Easy walk to SCI. Prefer room to spread out that you just don’t get at a hotel.

    Malaria Prophylaxis

    Don’t mix malarone and booze. At least that’s been our experience. Vivid, disturbing dreams. We take it, but make it a part of our morning routine. No issues.

    Politics

    Me too. I guess we are outliers. A nice fruitcake with lots of nuts and a cup of coffee about 9 o’clock. Hard to beat.

    Management buffalo hunts

    Took a management bull in Zimbabwe at Sengwe Research area. Let me tell you, a management bulls spoor looks just like a trophy bulls spoor. You gotta track it for hours to see what ya got. So took 8 days of a 7 day hunt to get one. Also took one in the Klaserie outside Kruger. That one was...
