    Where would you go for the biggest buffalo NOT bred in captivity

    I came face to face with a 46'er there after a long long stalk up and down steep terrain, over rock features and through thick bush. My PH had seen him a couple times before earlier in the season and thought he knew where he was watering. We picked up his tracks in the morning at the small...

    I missed

    I once belly crawled over hot rocks toward a bedded mule deer buck on a scorching September day during Kansas muzzleloader season, got struck at by a rattlesnake, dodged it, kept crawling, sat on the buck at 20 yards for about 40 minutes, he stood, and I fumbled the shot and shaved a tuft of...

    Shoot with one eye open, and one closed, or both open?

    Both eyes open staring over the scope with little or no cheek weld and then let the flinch bring it all together.

    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    When I was a kid working at a horse farm I turned loose a mare not realizing the dominant mare was coming up behind me to harass her. The one I turned loose immediately spun around and donkey kicked both hind legs, full extension, at the approaching mare with me in between. Her hooves went on...

    Who has the best Kudu hunting in Namibia?

    If you want to hunt kudu in Namibia in really big unfenced wild country, contact Emile @KOU KUAS ADVENTURES. Of these two, one was taken in Bwabwata West in the Caprivi and the other in the desert country of Kaokoland northwest of Etosha NP. Ironically, both taken near herds of elephants.

    Another New to me SxS shotgun

    Awesome purchase! And I just bought a copy of Churchill's Shotgun Book on this suggestion. In the same vein, what would you guys, and the esteemed Mr. @rookhawk, suggest as the "bible" of Double Rifles? Is it the The Double Rifle Primer by Cal Pappas?

    Do I Really Need Binoculars?

    Love a good tracking hunt, but also enjoy glassing from a good vantage point and doing spot and stalk. Successful glassing is one part good glass and two parts good technique. You can get a lot better at it if you make it a priority. I like swaro 15's on a tripod for general glassing, and...

    Recommendations for Caprivi

    Was face to face with a 46 in Waterberg in '21. Largest by far I've ever seen. He spun out and vanished forever. Ran out of daylight and never found his track again.

    Hunt from Hell

    Philip, I happened to be in JJ Perodeau's shop today with @WoodFire and we saw some cartridges with your name on them. Small world.
