    So dumb questions about the 375 H&H

    Better ammo availability with 375H&H. It's an old African classic and quite popular worldwide. I'd suggest Win 70 Safari Express.

    Importing - Safari Specialty Importers

    I used them for my safaris and was very satisfied. They handled everything from my outfitter notifying them of the trophies to my taxidermist. They coordinated the dip and pack in RSA, shipping, US customs, transportation to my taxidermist. Logistics, paperwork, bureaucracy, they got it done.

    My phone has started talking back to me. When I got up from working on my computer and said it was time to eat my phone said,"I don't know how to respond to that." Kinda startled me.

    I need a "Use Enough Gun" Gun. Suggestions?

    375HH with 235g for pg and 300-350g for dg. You don't need anything bigger and you won't gain much except recoil. 235g will take you out to around 300 yds which is far enough. The name of the game is stalk as close as you can get.

    Reminds me of when I wenrt to Costco the other day. The bill came $20.67. I gave the cashier $25.00. She had to get out her phone to make the change. Didn't realize the register could do it for her.

    375 H&H

    Took my buf with a Barnes 350g TSX, 58.5g 4064 @ 2250fps. Win 70, 24"bbl. Head on shot at about 30 yds. It went clear through stem to stern and we never did find the slug. He went about 100 yds and we found him stone dead, not even a death bellow. Same load on eland and sable. Very effective...

    They came to my town a few years ago to "protest". They were met by the Sheriff's Dept. and about 100 heavily armed civilians. They were unceremoniusly escorted out of town in a hurry.

    Arizona Toddler bitten by Rattlesnake

    I guess I must be real lucky. I've lived in NV since 1989 and have never seen a rattler. I spend a fair amount of time out in the bush, too.

    What is your deadliest weapon???

    My brain. It controls everything I do. For firearms: self defense and home protection it's my S&W 1911 stuffed with 230g Black Talons. For hunting would be my MRC American Legend 30-06 with appropriate bullet for the task at hand.

    Anyone Else Into Preserving Traditional Hunting Methods?

    Map and compass. No batteries to die on you, no glass components to get damaged. Topo sheets give you details that electronics can't. A GI compass never loses signal, is indestructable, simple and accurate.

    “Manners maketh man”

    Before I click "post" I reread what I wrote to make sure it's true, nonoffensive, spelled and punctuated correctly and will stand up to scrutiny. There is always someone who will call you on a falsehood and an attempt to cover it up just leads to more trouble (note cnn).
