dabloobana - great write up. Well done.

That is very interesting. I have seen smaller versions of that locally but nothing to that extent. Really cool. He has a thick neck on him too - looks like he might have been pretty 'rutty'. This was my best fallow last year - nothing compared to the monsters posted here. There aren't a lot of...

That's a beauty Hunthard. Love the dark stained antlers and great palms too.

Brushmore - my 375 Ruger is a shade over 9lb scoped. I would gladly drop 1lb off it.

Nice fallow Troy - good on your mate. How's that Wap style kicker on the right antler! Cheers, JWB300

Cheers huntermn15 - I am actually coming over to Alaska in August - can't wait. I've never been there before.

Thanks John - Namibia is on the list!

Hi Ado, I do a bit of roo culling and only use a 223 with 55gr soft points. Some of the big buck roo's do take a few shots to put down at times. If you are shooting a lot of big buck roo's I would lean towards a .243. Cheers, JWB300

Thanks Diamondhitch - nice name by the way. I tried a few times to tie a diamond hitch over pack horses. Much easier with two people! Cheers, JWB300

I haven't personally got any of these products but all the feedback I hear is that they are very high quality http://www.joshualeather.com/collections/hunting-gear

Thanks Gents, PaulT - I guess my initial attraction to this gun was the practicality aspects. It has all the right fundamentals it's just missing the finish of some higher end rifles. It is certainly acceptable and can be improved relatively easily. WRT the scope - I chose this scope as it...

A brief review of my initial thoughts on the Ruger Guide Gun in 375 Ruger. Yet to test it on game but I’ve got some loads sorted now. The rifle is topped off with a Zeiss Duralyt 2-8x42 Illuminated. The guide gun has a 20 inch barrel and comes with open sights and scope rings (bases built...

Interesting comparison Libertarian. I sometimes find myself over analysing things based upon weight/cost etc and at times it has proved very useful. One comparison I don't care for is cost of ammunition/projectiles. Ultimately ammunition is a very small cost when it come to hunting -...

Great video Herve747 - it really took us along for the hunt. You really look very happy - and you should be too with such a great animal and great shot. Cheers, JWB300

I can't believe how well you have recovered those skins to produce such a magnificent mount. Well done!

Nice one - a great combo

Hey Gizmo, I've just picked up a Guide Gun in 375 Ruger. Not a bad firearm. Mine has proven to be very accurate - I'm runnning 235 and 270grain TSX's. Have you got a scope on yours? If so what have you chosen? Cheers, JWB300

Well done - great pictures. I hope to get there in the next few years to hunt Ibex. Who was your outfitter? Cheers, JWB300

Magnificent mount! Well done!

Interesting post Brickburn. I hunt and live in area's where there are quite a few snakes. Some of the most venomous and aggressive snakes in the world (eastern brown, death adder, tigers, copperhead etc). I actually accidentally hit a brown snake on Friday in the car on the way to a hunting...

Another vote for the pelican. Rifle has never lost zero upon arrival. Also has a pressure release valve. It is bulky but due to that size you can fill it with clothes and other goods to make the most out of your excess baggage costs.

That is possibly one of the greatest ideas ever...

Thanks Gents, I think I will stick with the standard 2 or 3 legged version. Jerome- it looks like there might already be a string at the bottom of each leg to prevent it over extending. Cheers, JWB300

Picture 8 by Blacks

Looks pretty huge that thing. Might as well carry a bench... :D Slightly off topic but can someone post a picture of the business end of some shooting sticks. I am going to make some to practice off. Never shot off them before. Cheers, JWB300

I can't compete either but here are some anyway BC Lost an antler during the battle Hunting North Queensland for Chital Deer Brumbies NZ Victoria hunting Sambar Deer

Thanks guys, Appreciate the warm welcome! Cheers, JWB300

Bluey, Sorry to hear about your situation. Hunt and Wood are green eyed soap dodgers. I wrote multiple letters to multiple Ministers without response. I'll get back onto them tomorrow. I would touch base with Borsak. He is across this matter. Hope it works out. Cheers, JWB300

Fantastic mounts - love your work!

That is some of the most spectacular photography I have seen in a hunt report. Well done on a fantastic adventure.

Thanks guys - will no doubt be tapping into the wealth of knowledge here soon!

Thanks for the warm welcome lads! Bluey - I have been chatting with Marius from KMG lately as I have heard good reviews of his operation. For this trip I will probably hunt plains game in SA. I have a wish list... Gembok, Eland, Kudu, Zebra, Warthog and Springbok. I don't expect to take...

Yep

Hi There, I've just joined up, as like many, I am looking to hunt in Africa for the first time next year. The site seems to have much to offer and some great people. I live in NSW and mainly hunt deer. I have also hunted other game throughout Australia, NZ and Canada. I mainly rifle hunt but...
