I’ve killed a lot of pigs over the years on my ranch in California. Everything that I shot, I shot with my 300wby mag. My wife has threatened me with divorce if I shoot anymore pigs so now I only take youngsters just starting out and friends that need a good place to shoot pigs. We have a lot...

I’ve spent my life eating moose, elk, bison, mule deer, blacktail, various sheep, antelope… pretty much all North American game and love it all. As far as African game goes, I’ve never eaten anything that I did not enjoy and I’ve eaten most species noted in other’s comments. Maybe it’s me, but...

I spend a lot of time in Mexico. Working, hunting, diving, vacationing. There is risk, but I have been willing to accept that. I have taken my family on vacations, hunting in Sonora often. I understand the risk, weigh it and usually make the decision to accept that risk. Everyone can and...

I don’t have an issue with folks asking at all. I’m often perfectly willing to take someone out to my ranch for pigs and the kids for pigs and deer. My rule is no one hunts on my ranch without me being present. You have to pass through several locked gates to get to my gate and I never share...

There is a used copy available on Amazon in the US right now. Listed as very good condition for $35.17

I don’t know if he is still alive, if so I believe he is 98 years old so getting up there. You may want to try contacting his publisher, Macmillan, now wholly owned by Holtzbrinck info@holtzbrinck.com

Winchester is a brand. Period. Always has been. Like Ford is a brand. There have been good Fords and bad Fords over the years but to say that the only good ones were manufactured at the original factory in Detroit is just wrong. FN knows how to make great guns. There are good Winchesters...

So is there an issue then? I actually don’t know what airline my African stuff flys on. It just shows at SFO.

I’m wondering when does one ship hunting trophies via commercial passenger airlines? I have flown antlers and sheep horns many times returning from hunts within North America and never had any trouble. When I hunt in Africa, everything gets dipped and packed and crated up and sent via cargo...

Murray makes a really nice foldable soft leather scoped rifle case for international travelers. The S-14 is lined with fleece that offers some padded protection. Unfortunately it is a bit pricey. Check out Murraycustomleather.com. I use their A-1 slings for my rifles which I’ve always felt...

That’s probably what happened with that sable. I didn’t take the time to look at the wound channel or recover the bullet. Pretty neat when you walk up on the critter.

Absolutely crazy. Never had that happen before.

Check out this Barnes 180gr TSX. I shot this sable at about 100 yards with a .300wby mag. My hand loads are traveling at about 3200fps at the muzzle. The sable took one step and dropped. The bullet spun around completely inside the animal and got stuck headed out the other side. All down...

We remember our brothers and sisters that are forever young. “We sleep peaceably in our beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on our behalf.”

I like Talley Signature bases and rings. QD or not.
