Lots of classic matches/bouts on YouTube-watch them anytime for free

Some guys will always be able to pay $10k for a whitetail or $200k for an elephant. It keeps the industry healthy so guys like me can be a small part of it. But guys like me also price shop and wait for “a good deal” and sometimes we just can’t be part of it anymore so we hunt what we can still...

I couldn’t afford my first safari nor the two that followed that one-but I want to go back for one or two more. So it takes more Overtime and I have to cut some corners and I can only afford SA instead of zim, but I’ll go again, and again and again. . .

To be fair, white rhino can be legally hunted, but definitely not a poor man’s consideration. The dodo is thoroughly absent. Bayly Sipple has a very affordable dart hunt in here right now that would let you touch one and get some photos. I think I would prefer this method with a rhino-

Solid choices-the Mount Rushmore of a hunting room!

Ive seen more negative and disappointed posts here and elsewhere about motswhere and their “in house” connections than any other company. I do not know why anybody who did their due diligence would ever go there. I know they put up some great expo deals but seriously, you can find good deals...

I’m glad you are going in June! I always have some trip in the planning stages and I have learned that I only get serious about my dreams once I have a deposit paid. I’m on team “quality optics” but I retain some memories of great shots I have made with open sights-and hearing aids happen in July!

I did see that but I much prefer book form-not a big deal, just something to consider

I ordered one in hardcover just now, thanks for the heads up! Shipping and import fees were a bit stiff, I should have looked around a bit fo other options-

They aren’t good bullets because nobody thought to put an “X” in there bae when they were invented. If they were the CoreloXt or the Xierra, or the Power X Point they would fly and kill animals with much more authority!

I always appreciated the fact that Ruark came from almost nothing and became one of the grandest legends in the hunting industry. He worked his way up despite the potholes. Thanks for the post-I gotta believe looking through all those old playboys for an article by Mr. Ruark was almost...

Those old recoil pads get hard and mean-replace it with a nice looking modern one and never look back. A Timney trigger would be my next move. It definitely needs new scope rings and a base and would obviously benefit from a modern scope. Small upgrades will make a big difference to how the...

Do you really need solids? Talk to your ph, they may tell you to leave them home. Or maybe you want to hunt elephants or duikers with them. I would guess you don’t even need to take solids with you tho-

I suspect this has been mentioned already but it’s a good idea to read through the “hunt reports” section and see what kind of experiences others have had and shared. I would also investigated the company’s that are sponsors on here already-there are many well vetted and highly respected options!

Option A and a native wood handle gets my vote. Have enjoyed watching you on the TV hunting channel this season. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you’ve done

I bought a .270 mossberg patriot about five years ago. The wood that it came with was very pretty but required bedding to stiffen and strengthen it up. Some of the magazine parts are plastic and not built for the duration. Accuracy was tough. I finally worked up a handload for it with Speer...

Please forgive me as I slide down a rabbit hole- I sent a pm to red leg appreciating his own artwork. I also was interested in wildlife art as a kid and hoped to someday paint a duck stamp. This picture is one I did in elementary school with colored pencils. I never had paint as a kid and...

And I will be a back up offer

I am grateful for the way I was raised. . . I was taught to work hard, care for my body. I was brought up not just to simply trust in the Lord but to seek Him. I have skills that are best learned growing up on a farm-something I wish I had to offer my own children! I love and appreciate...

Prairie dogs, pot gut squirrels, woodchucks, and yes gophers-any of the gnawing rodents. Love to do it all, fantastic practice. When we were young and arrows were cheap we ruined a lot of them on little hole diggers.

235 gr tsx 300 gr A AFrame I use two different detachable scopes depending on what we are hunting. The 300 gra frame shoots very near to 300 h&h 270 gr factory loads so they have been excellent for practicing. I like the idea of a custom build but if someone already has one you could Fall in...

Plains game for bait so I can hunt a leopard with a giant head and neck. Keeping it simple and doable. . .

You are financially able, responsible and established. Take your wife and go make a truckload of memories. It is different for everyone but it seem like you are on solid ground;)

The romance of Safari should not be found solely in the certainty of the hunt. Seeing your first rhino or elephant or collared sunbird or wild bird of paradise flower or (fill in your own answer. . . ) it’s the dinner table or campfire or skinning shed or watching rugby with true rugby fans...

Enjoyed the story and wish my wife was more like yours! Congrats on making the most of the deal of a lifetime. Now back to the bird hunting!

That’s a crazy painting! So much going on-needs to be seen in real life and studied up close-

The leading brand is “Uncrustables” and they are wonderful! Also a smuckers product-

Love the long stories-you had a fantastic second day! I’m a sucker for big waterbuck and that one is awesome, all your animals are unique and impressive.

1. Bull elk during the rut-big, vocal, stinky and yet still smart and elusive. Archery first choice but rifle be just fine 2. Bighorn sheep-bow or rifle, 3. Axis deer but any of the Texas exotics really, blackbuck or nilgai for sure. 4. Moose, would love to get to the Yukon country and...

Always enjoy your reports and looking forward to your next installation. Thanks for taking the time to share your adventures with us-

Looks like me and dirt dart have similar typing speeds and thought processes

Isn’t the Barnes tsx an all copper bullet? They make it in 235 grain as well-I’ve used it a bunch and never a complaint. My wish is thy would put a tip on it as hollow nose bullets are both a blessing and a curse-

Please understand that my deepest passion is bird hunting. So when I say African Pygmy goose, I am being honest and serious. It’s a dream I truly hope to fulfill-

What Andrew62 said-but also, sitting over a well laid chess board the anticipation is intoxication for me. Plus I love the birds and bugs and things around th blind. I do have a tough time sitting still tho! Love the big cats!

A really big leopard-

I’ve been following B-W for a possible Namibia plains game/bird hunt. Will be looking forward to your long detailed report with many photos when you get home. Hope it’s a great experience for you and your wife-

Beautiful work-wish you lived closer to me, we could do some wonderful collaboration!

Some very outstanding trophies in there-he has certainly had some incredible successes in life!

Don’t have any ugly rifles but I do own a couple very plain or boring looking tools of the trade- Plain girls can be alright but beware the boring ones!

I spend most of my time with shotguns in hand and I believe that has created a situation where low mount scopes on rifles also feel most normal to me.

Also not a rifle but fiocchi. . .

Picked up the common from the taxidermist this morning. Killed a bigger one this year so will add it to the collection when it is finished

-and how many different ways have you heard Leupold pronounced!?

Have always wanted to use one as a pedestal to mount another animal on-maybe an impala or something- I also really like these clear display holders-

Ephialtes. . .

Franchi-
