I would love to go as well but time is not on my side! If it’s available in the future I will definitely go. On a side note what is your opinion of using a 375 Ruger on Ele? Brain shot only or can a body shot work?

You need to go to a bow shop or two and shoot everything they have. Speed doesn’t really matter, AT ALL for whitetails out of a tree stand! Accuracy (forgiveness) always trumps everything else. You need to find the most comfortable bow for you. One you don’t have to fight. One that shoots...

Can you shoot 2 cows on the hunt? If so what would the cost be?

I am going last minute to Namibia through Frankfurt. I have spoken to a travel agency (Jennifer) but due to the quick flight and budget deals have booked 2 itineraries - one on Condor (discover) through Alaska Airlines Direct ANC-FRA. Then I will have a 6+ hr layover and fly direct on Lufthansa...

The best part of a dog sled team! The next generation :)

The other option may be to go to Greenland on a winter hunt for musk ox. The prices will be less than the Canada costs. I have hunted there with Karsten Lings. He used to run dogs but don’t think he still does…. It’s becoming a lost art of hunting. So not entirely sure if any current outfits...

I’m on the dogsled! There was an assistant guide on a support sled that was able to take the pictures of the pursuit. Very lucky it worked out that way never know what a bear will do

The classic hunt for that is Polar bear! The best contact for those hunts is Shane Black at Canada North outfitting. Very pricey but the real Arctic experience and hunts.- musk ox, caribou, grizz, etc

You can “drive” to POW on the Alaska Ferry system and bring all your stuff, hunt off the road system for deer, fishing

I live in Alaska but the reason I ended up moving here was 2 DIY trips when I was younger- First to POW on a bear and fishing trip Second was to Kodiak Deer and fishing trip, Fell in Love with AK and always wondered why was I leaving to fly home when I could just stay! If you are the DIY...

Wow that’s a great looking rifle. GLWS

Save some Aussie Water Buffalo for the rest of us! What would your minimum archery recommendations be for a trophy Elephant?

What bow, poundage and draw length are you shooting with these arrows? As to the 650gr arrow how did you feel it performed compared to the heavier ones?

PM sent, email, and voicemail.

I’m interested- will contact you

Yes there Yes there are exceptions - as Mentioned Montana unlimited, there is a quota and success rates very low. But you could have an affordable DIY Sheep hunting experience! You can move to AK and as a resident hunt Dalls sheep OTC (for now) every year. Success rates have dropped and less...

Any private land or auction tag in the US will be very expensive. A number of states do offer them. Mountain Goats are relatively affordable in Alaska and Canada. $12-20k You have to be specific when talking about Wild North American Sheep- there are 4 main ones and very different options for...

Very nice offer, I wish I was in a position to go but alas it s not my time yet.

If you Reload it’s not worth it- As mentioned you can seat the Bullet out closer to the lands and accomplish the same loading or more than a factory Lott. Cheaper to move the throat than rechamber anyway. Refer to this article-...

Yes a lot of Alaskans here! ER Have a list of some animals, but I would definitely stay open to opportunities that present it self. Even more so if bowhunting If a great trophy sized animal not on your list presents itself you should probably take it as a gift from the hunting gods! I have a...

TLDR- Points are generally Not worth it, especially for sheep etc. Save your money and pay for hunts. OTC is for opportunities (generally not trophies) which are becoming less and less every year.

I am becoming aware of the vast amount of information there is about double rifle! What is the thought on the 500/450 cartridge chambered for Holland and Holland rifles? I gather its a proprietary round? so there were a lot less manufacturers over the years. Are there different sizes of...

Please let us know how it goes. I will most definitely do this hunt with a Bow in the future as well

Yes that is a very informative site with real prices on available rifles. Also it takes away any doubt on a dubious deal :) Worth a click for sure! https://www.champlinarms.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 They do give a strong endorsement of the Chaupis double if going new, offering a lifetime...

As far as I know as well that is correct. They are considered invasive non native species and NZ wants them killed

No worries, just got a little excited. Where are they located? Possible to see in person?

Yes Russia currently has great deals due to international pressures. As told by a recent bear hunt report in Russia you can even qualify to get a Week of Free accommodations and food after your hunt :)

Marco Polo in Kyrgyzstan is probably the best value for a real Ovis hunt and a spectacular trophy.

If that price has the correct number of zeros I’ll buy it ! I assume you meant $11,000.00 USD? :)

Sheep country is always amazing especially after a successful hunt!

I'd be interested to know what else you have that you are planning to sell?

I looked and only have 20-40 pieces of fired brass

The reason would be a good deal on a used Double Rifle. Ones chambered in 458 win will typically sell for a bit less than one in .450 or .470

Why yes, I did see a Heym 88b from ‘85 going to auction soon and was wondering if it would be worth watching?

What are your thoughts on a Double rifle in .458 win? It’s not a classic flanged caliber… This would be for hunting Elephant and buffalo

What rifle, cartridge did you take your first Ele with?

I may have some. how much are you looking for?

I think it depends on a number of factors. With modern compound bows with increased efficiency there is more leeway than in the past, especially compared to traditional gear like Ashby tested. I have killed a cape buff with a 800gr arrow. Took another two to finish it off. My buddy shot his...

He who dies with the most guns wins. :) Probably not, but everyone has their own life to live, and every life will end. Can’t take anything with you so I guess what’s important is what you enjoy now, and what you want to leave as a legacy. It will be different for everyone

With the rifles you already have a Double would be my preference if you really wanted another rifle. That said I would personally rather take one of the rifles you already have and go on an Elephant hunt with the money instead and add history and sentimental value to one of the current rifles...

Laws like that would sure help keep my firearm budget (note lack there of :)) in check and save a lot of space!

I have crossed home into Alaska with firearms no problem. Didn’t need a 4457 but it can only help depending on your border officer.

I use one at the range all the time. I don’t use one in the field hunting big game since the adrenaline is enough to dampen the recoil! The magnum size it too thick imo as it will change your effective lop The one exception to use in the field is high volume dove shooting in Argentina- you...

Very nice, I would love to find one in 25-06 if you have one as well?
