Lots of WOW factor on an impala and strong work on that cow buffalo-definitely saved her a starvation death. Glad you all had a fun hunt!

I haven’t read this, just saw it on e bay while looking for something else-might have some entertainment value. . .

Good Luck!

If I lived in AZ I would hunt doves and quail every day of the season-absolutely one of my favorite things to do and a great place To do it(y)

I finally put my oldest daughter in for Wyoming. She had a pile of points and I hope this is her year. Would love to spend a day or two on an easy ish hunt with my girls. She has a good deer tag in utah and I feel like this will be “her” year.

One of my hunting friends has a tree service, so when the big cottonwoods in my backyard died I asked him to come take it down. They were loading to leave when I asked for a pic, he had chaps on prior to me asking. He was using a stihl 660 with a 36 inch blade. Said tomorrow he’s going to...

I donated mine to a taxidermist over there that wanted a skin for a full body mount. Most of the above ideas are very cost prohibitive-

USPS delivered a rifle scope of mine to the wrong address. I can assure you that even though it was their error, they will not pay for the lost item. And their customer service is non existent . One of the most horrid organizations I have ever worked with-

Sow and cub while I was bowhunting elk. Sow we caught and released a couple years back. first and only bear so far. Had a great season hunting over hounds then bait and finally killed on a water hole. The one I really wanted! Color phases!

For a substitute check into Barnes TSX and Northfork. But you’ll get recommendations for every Bullet made before this post is exhausted!

Still made but have been hard to find for some years. You can buy them direct from Swift’s website or Ive bought them from Midwayusa, turn notifications on so you know when they are available. Really a tough bullet for the big guys. Here is the recovered bullet from my bull as well as/and in...

Yes, yes it is!

Cutthroat at the local ish reservoir. Might be her biggest so far, no help from dad-

I was making a joke of my own but thanks for the unnecessary explanation

Neither have you

I own two savage rifles. I had a small Problem with a spring or washer or some small part. They sent several free of charge and I was able to do the repair at home. Easy and outstanding customer service-both very accurate rifles

The gorilla definitely caught my eye as did the ele skull with the tusks still in. Would be very Cool if they could update some of that and do some cleaning/painting but it’s awesome they have preserved as much as they have as well as they have!

Your ph is going to do everything for you just short of pulling the trigger. They will find the game, assess the wind, stalk with you in their back pocket, set up the tripod or sticks and remind you to aim “on the shoulder.” Your main function is to take a good breath, calm yourself and make...

I still very Much prefer the guns to a camera-however, I always have a camera handy just in case I see something I want to capture-“on film.” So when in Africa I always visit a photography based park for at least one day and try for more. And I’m certain my ph gets tired of me saying “pull over...

I agree with the above jnformation. Wyoming draw is open until the end of the month but it takes years of points to draw the good units. The odds are against you but good luck! I anticipate my oldest daughter will draw Wyo and I am looking forward to a casual hunt with my “kids”

I mostly bowhunt and five miles in warm temps is pushing it. You have to be able to get the meat and your gear back to the truck! Even later when it gets cooler I don’t get much farther from that unless it’s for a mtn goat or something complicated like that. Sometimes you absolutely have to go...

Some of “my” guns belong to my wife and kids. Some are heirlooms I have inherited and wish to pass down to my family. I do regularly hunt with 6-7 different guns each year.

Go to the “hunt reports” section here in the site and read what all those who cared to report on their experiences are saying. Agree with the above, any reputable ph will easily accommodate your wife’s needs. Enjoy the planning end, a big part of the adventure! I will go back to SA just for...

PH should have told you who was picking you up as well. . .

Very cool project-I appreciate you posting the information

Excellent for training mtn lion hounds. . .

I really hate bullet threads-all kind of answers and all over the board with extreme bias. I have in my group seen a lot of good kills on mule deer and whitetails with them in an array of calibers. I know we lost a three point mule deer when the bullet hit the humerus and failed to get into...

Monroe elk hunting is wonderful, a premium unit for sure. My nephew drew a late season pahvant tag which is also premium but hard A F! He is young and invincible so will probably love it. But the real joy of elk is in mid-September when they are stinky, vocal and aggressive. Good luck with...

The weather can be unique to elk hunting-often done in snow and often late fall After the rut has ended. It is possible to have several tags in your pocket during an elk hunt. Often I have mule deer, elk, cougar and coyote tags. These must be drawn in a lottery or bought each year. In kudu...

Over the counter elk in Utah. always wanted to do Africa with a bow but more towards September-good luck on your upcoming trip!

Putting garden in today. Arizona is sharing its warmth and next week in Utah will see the 90’s f. Too warm for May!

Interesting and I agree, unlimited in its breadth. Interesting because I have never liked varget in anything where I have tried it and I positively love rl 22 in several rifles. So very open to personal experience. Some seem better suited to specific calibers such as IMR 4350 in the .30-06 or...

Very cool, I’m glad you went through the hassle and worry to get them completed and back to your home

Gracy-travel is the most daunting part of the trip for me and they took every worry out of the way for me. Planning the actual safari, that is a joy and a pleasure and I keep that for myself.

Beautiful bull! My first animal there was also a nyala bull-a very special animal. I’ve been there a number of times and also still haven’t seen all the home property, but parts of it are holy ground for me!

Y’all boys really know how to celebrate cinco de mayo!

Did I really see 5 inches of snow in Denver last nigjt:eek:

Nice group for small arms fire. . .:P Cowboy:

Looking forward to the remainder of your report. Dean and Don are great guys to hunt and share camp with, glad you got to spend time with them. Lots of experience and adventures to share. :A Popcorn: Eager for more

I had the same issue. Glad you got it home and ready to display. Lots of memories to relive every time you see them!

I would be fine taking other premium but less expensive plains game instead of a buffalo. Maybe a sable then other plains game or something to that effect. But in reality, push the trip back one year and save more money so you can hunt more game while you are there-be it Buffalo or other-

I’m still drooling over the Eurasian wigeons! Thanks for posting the pictures and congrats on some good hunts with some good partners

Gentlemen-there are 30 pages of banter under the title “Mark Sullivan the Expose” already on this site and fairly recent. Do we really need to beat a dead horse for afew more pages?

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...
