    Welcome to the forum. I am also from Montana . I did my first African hunt back in April. It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime but I expect it be the first of hopefully several more. My trophies are preparing to ship and I am in the process of getting shipping quotes. Those of you that...

    Thoughts on the perfect Tiny Ten cartridge

    I only have experience on 1 of the tiny ten when I was afforded an opportunity at a steenbok last April. Not wanting to use my 300 H&H, I used the PH's rifle, a 222, and it seemed to work just fine. Even though I hit a bit farther back than I would have liked, It knocked the critter down where...

    The .300 H&H

    My favorite hunting cartridge. I own two-- a Winchester model 70 XTR Sporter, which I have used extensively across North America. It has proven itself more than accurate enough with a variety of bullets on everything from pronghorns to elk and big black bears. I recently un-mothballed a...

    You will go on 1st safari within 10 yrs of joining

    I have been dreaming of hunting in Africa for as long as I can remember. Being in the gun/ammo/hunting industry for 40 plus years has exposed me to a lot of people who have been there, most of them more than once, and they have been an invaluable resource. I booked my first trip just over a year...

    How many others map out their future firearm purchases?

    Almost all of my gun purchases over the years have been spontaneous or I get a whim for something and then spend the next days trying to justify the cost before I buy it.. Sometimes my good sense takes over and sometimes it doesn't. And since most gun collections seem to have a theme or a common...

    What's your one favorite caliber?

    300 H&H is perfection in my book.

    What is the purpose of carrying a knife out in a safari..

    I took a knife, because, well, you always take a knife when you go hunting. So I took a knife with me on my recent trip to Africa. I used it to scrape the mud out of the soles of my hunting shoes before I packed them for the return trip home. It worked better than a stick.

    Tiger muskies are a hybrid of a musky and northern pike. Most are created in hatcheries and are planted to control sucker and chub populations, as well as provide a sport fishery. They are sterile and don't reproduce.

    Does the price of ammo impact your choice of a rifle caliber

    Many have said that the ammo is the cheapest part of the hunt and they are exactly correct. I have been in the gun and ammo industry for over 40 years, working for retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers. It still amazes me when I see hunters who drive a $100K hunting rig with a $15K 4-wheeler...
