    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.

    Favorite Bullet Manufacturer for Non-Dangerous Game Poll

    Over 20 years ago I started shooting Barnes bullets in most of my firearms. I've taken mule deer, coues deer, elk, bear, and pronghorn here in North America. All of my plains game in South Africa were also shot with them.

    First Post – Planning Our First African Safari

    In my opinion don't discount the high fence areas in South Africa. In most of these areas you'll never see the fence other than on your way in or out and the animals are just as wild and wary of humans. Check the outfitters that are sponsors on the site here. I'm willing to bet that each one of...

    Interesting trivia from John Wayne's El Dorado

    Now you've gone and done it, instead of looking at Michele Carey's better endowed parts I'll be looking around her waist.

    Ruger No. 1 quick follow up shots

    I use a Uncle Mike's shell holder that fits over the stock. For fast follow-up shots, practice, practice, and practice some more until you open the chamber automatically, grab a new shell and drop it in. I've seen people shooting a #1 and reloading just as fast as a bolt action.

    Politics

    That's normal. Non presidential election where most voters will stay home and not bother, especially the Republicans.

    Shipping empty primed brass

    I've received primed brass through the USPS from Cabela's without having to pay hazmat fees. It made me wonder since they couldn't ship live ammo or packets of primers but could ship primed cases through USPS.

    A sling shot is a sling shot. The rubber from a tires innertube slung rocks pretty dang good and far.

    Want to buy Barnes reloading manual number 4

    I agree, my loading notes were on the back pages or even next to the load data itself in the paper manuals. That was until I started to write it down in a load book that I made up. But with the influx of a number of new cartridges they would need to print a new manual every few years. On...

    Want to buy Barnes reloading manual number 4

    With the online reloading data sites along with Barnes I don't see many of the powder or bullet manufactures publishing a paper manual. This younger generation just want to pull up data on their phones. I can see it here on African Hunting, more and more members are looking at Quick Load and...
