    Help Guys! Full Body Crocodile Mount, Head Mount

    Customs in Mozambique just emailed me this week. I shot 2 monster crocs there in August. One is 15 feet 6 inches. The other is 14 feet 7 inches. The 15 footer is missing some tail and lots of teeth. He was an enormous beast in his prime. I'm wondering is it possible to replace his missing teeth...

    If you want to shoot dangerous game..

    I think you want a long range vs hunting debate. I shot my lion at 60 yards. That was close enough. I shot my hippo at 120 yards. Shot 2 cape buffaloes. One at 40 yards that was close enough. The other was 22 yards only because we lost him tracking him on a trail in tall grass and didn't realize...

    Carl Zeiss stops scope and binoc production 2026

    Guys this is a little misleading. Zeiss IS NOT stopping the production of rifle scopes and binos. They are just moving production to another facility. The Conquest line will be made in Japan now...

    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    Personally speaking I would never use anyone else's rifle on a dangerous game hunt just meeting them. As many have said buy a economically affordable RELIABLE 375. I have a 416 Rem mag I use for lion hunting and maybe elephant. You don't need a 416 to kill a buffalo. I've killed 2 bulls with my...

    Okay Here She Is My New .35 Whelen

    Oh that's coming. I'm going to order a 28 Nosler high gloss wood stock in the gray laminate finish. It's going to be gorgeous. I'm an old school wood stock rifle guy. But with this .35 I figured rain and bad weather in Alaska, cold and snow in Wisconsin the fiberglass stock would be sufficient.

    My son is going with me to hunt plains game he'll likely be using 30.06 or a Sako .270. I'm going for leopard, eland and sable.

    Okay Here She Is My New .35 Whelen

    She will likely go on my next hunt to Africa paired with my Cooper 30.06 for leopard, sable, eland and I'm obsessed with big crocs. I love Cooper rifles. They are so beautiful to my eye and well balanced they make me look like a shooting pro. The action on this rifle feels like a Sako. I've...

    Sorry If This Is A Dumb Question About 35 Whelen

    Uplander thanks for the post. I shot a cape buffalo free range in Zambia on a stalk at 22 yards in 24. We lost him on a trail, came over a hill. He was laying down. The wind shifted he stood up and looked right at us. I'm not saying I want to kill a brownie at 22 yards. But I won't panic with...

    Sorry If This Is A Dumb Question About 35 Whelen

    Bob you just made my day sir, I just put a 50% deposit on her today. She'll be here in a couple of weeks!!! Will definitely put her to use for crocodile, eland, sable and perhaps leopard in a 26 hunt. Thank you sir!
