    First Trip info

    For what you are planning I would rent camp rifles. If not you'll have to clear them twice in South Africa and then again in Namibia, not to mention trying to find a secure storage area in South Africa. I have always had the idea that if you are going hunting, then go hunting. If you want...

    Qatar Airways + Firearms

    Just check your bag and rifle to Dallas and claim them before rechecked. The other posters problem was flying through JFK where he had to take possession of his rifle leaving his bag checked through.

    Politics

    I love it when everyone has had a few days and a dozen different videos to go through frame by frame to make a decision. How are you at making a life or death decision in a matter of one to three seconds where the wrong one could get you killed? Perhaps you can be like this woman who made a...

    Hey Ladies! Overlanding, Camping and Peeing in the Night.

    It was said that during the western expansion here in the US that the ladies didn't wear anything under their skirts so that they could just squat down and do their business.

    Hey Ladies! Overlanding, Camping and Peeing in the Night.

    A number of years ago my brother in law and I decided to see if we could come up with something to help out the masses on one of our hunts in the wilds. We headed down to the local thrift store and picked up a couple of items. A plastic chair and a plastic toilet seat. Some quick work with...

    First timer help

    If you have a signed contract the ball is in your court, if no contract is signed and you are only going by a conversation then it is in the outfitters court. Not much else you can do besides talk to them and if they insist on the 2026 pricing see if they will come down some and you go up...

    Do any of you invest in gold and silver, and if so, how?

    40+ years ago I knew a old hermit who lived on the edge of the desert in Utah. He had a native American lady living with him that took care of his domestic needs. He had been a government hunter in the west helping to rid a vast area including Yellowstone National park of wolves. He claimed...

    Guns.com - User Beware

    With that high of a restocking fee it may detour most purchasers from doing a return. I have learned that when buying something in a used condition to expect the worse no matter what the seller says, what is minor to me is major to you. On firearms for some reason I have seen a few that I...

    Need help with Elk outfitter/hunts for an Aussie...

    With zero points and wanting to hunt in the near future I'll suggest that you look into Colorado's Ranching For Wildlife (RFW), and Utah's Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) hunts. These are private land hunts where the operators have tags that you can purchase with their guide...

    Favorite Bullet Manufacturer for Non-Dangerous Game Poll

    My CVA Accura loves the Barnes 50 T-Ez's and all my rifles shoot the TTSX better than I can.
