Let’s not get into a pissing match over terminology. Speer called them a molecular bonded or some such decades ago and still do. I’ve never seen one separate and my experience is that they tend to pass on through. However-the op chose to go in a different direction so it doesn’t seem...

Hello sir-welcome to the site!

I should add-I’ve been to Africa several times and mostly used tbbc handloads which I still have a supply of-last trip I used a more modern design because that rifle loves that bullet. I haven’t used my old .30-06 or .270 much recently simply due to lack of opportunity and a love affair I...

I’ve shot some deer and elk with them-I absolutely love them, old construction or new, they expand and they pass through. Reliable. I don’t use them as much anymore because I don’t use the rifles I loaded them for very Much any more, but I would not hesitate to take them to Africa.

I quit watching Keith Warren a long time ago when he was resorting to pellet rifles and the 50 bmg for his content. Most animals shot through the heart will run a “short” distance before dropping and zebras do tend to be on the tough side of plains game.

Good deal on a great scope. You got me on the wrong side of Christmas or I would pick this up. . .

Great spin on an old theme! Thank you for posting

They are still available-

I would agree the eld-x seems a bit frangible for bigger game. My suggestion would be one of the many variations of bonded bullet available. Your chosen caliber will be just fine-I have always used my own rifles, it is part of the enjoyment of the hunt for me. Good luck with your planning and...

Thank You-I feel very blessed this year. . . Had a good antelope hunt as well. Just hope I didn’t use up all my luck and points in the same year :ROFLMAO:

This is my first muzzleloader animal ever. My brother got his first ever whitetail. The smoke obscured my shot and I didn’t hear the bullet impact. Me nephew watching from far away and above said the stalk and the shot were exciting and stressful to watch. The tenderloins were excellent with...

I hope you know I’m just teasing. My wife settled for the one on the left and got stuck with me-and no way am I rich! ;) :ROFLMAO:

Oh I see-So he settled for the one he could still catch. . . Possibly due to her replaced hip! Aim higher me boys, if you have money you are still in the hunt!!!

I was surprised at the part about eating them. The badgers we have in the USA are stinky and I can’t imagine eating one! Good for you using as much as possible from your game

After that “one on the left” comment, we Cannot trust your taste at any level. Sorry bro, but you are grounded

Should clarify-coca cola made in South Africa is wonderful. It’s the only place I ever drink it. Something to do with the sugar I believe.

7x57 since it’s a custom for plains game-but I would load it with a modern bonded bullet.

I like the racks/shelves above the window

Can I put my vote in for South Africa having the best Coke?! Apologies to Colombia but I’ll wager SA has the best dagga as well

Very cool—The pic of that old Muddy scrummer is soul stirring stuff!

I had to laugh when I saw the chick-fil-A advertisement on the clip. Good luck in your search, I’m going to lunch!

Pedestal mounts typically use a specific form that will have some shape or curve to the back of the form. So you get a lifelike look instead of a hard flat back to the mount. There are wall pedestal and pure pedestal forms, the wall type have a flat side so they can lay flat against the wall...

It has always interested Me how the last 30-45 minutes of daylight, animals senses seem to dull or become less effective. Maybe the animals are just distracted but I have noticed a difference in that time frame

Thank you for the pictures!

Have you checked with Red Leg? He has some nice furniture and decor items and might be able to offer some sourcing info-

Serbia placed a ban last summer on exporting military arms and ammunition in general. I suspect it has much to do with military functions but can’t remember exactly. They are still producing just not exporting

Looks like me and newboomer were typing at about the same time :LOL:

I’ve never seen one in person but I believe that’s an old steam iron or “press iron”

I’m sad to say this but the 7mm-stw. There are so many that do what it did, and do it better. . . And I still own one! Sadly I think it’s on its way to obscurity.

I’m glad your dad’s suffering has ended. Those hospice folks are exceptional, best Wishes moving forward-

Funny how many different opinions there are on this thread and they all seem to be correct. I disagree with most of them but that’s just one more correct opinion isn’t it. . .

Very cool trophies and that is a beautiful rifle. Perhaps could expound a bit about your rifle and bullet selection. . . I think I would like to hunt banteng as much as buffalo!

Have used a solid black version for decades. Keep the barrel down and out of sight and don’t move when the ducks are working- Camo duck guns can and often do look good, it’s a place where camo really becomes part of the sport. (Along the lines of darkening your face So they don’t see the glare)...

Cedar Run Decoy Co. is making a pink eared duck decoy and selling it as a collector package. The proceeds/profits to be sent to Australia to help with waterfowl conservation. I’ve always wanted to come collect some of the amazing species you have there, it’s on my list if I ever win a lottery

I own several of your books and have enjoyed reading them over and over again. I am grateful you joined the site.

Soak overnight in salt water and crock pot or ina roaster pan with chili sauce or sweet salsa-they can be excellent!

Send a dm to Hank2211 and be sure to read his current thread “trek for the tiny ten”

A close version of that legend was shared with me while on a recent hunt-it’s a great story! I wouldn’t consider them to be one of the more alert but “shy” or secretive surely apply. Beautiful and a pleasure to hunt-

With food like that, who needs luck?!-enjoy!

That is the only thing a tripod does better is holding your gun for you when you need a place to hang it. I carry mine constantly now. They make good walking sticks, bino rests when glassing and are wonderfully lightweight. Reading the comments I think some people haven’t learned to use them...

Very cool-something not very Many people, myself included, can say they have done. Congratulations on a successful adventure!

I’ll bet More than half the resident hunters in Wyoming kill their antelope with a hand me down grandpas gun and a lead tipped bullet- If you want a new rifle, you don’t need a reason but that’s a good one, but to redlegs point, you probably already have a good one in your safe.

Do a title search for “caliber for tiny ten” and you will find multiple lengthy discussions

They are managing numbers of people in addition to managing numbers of animals taken. We can’t all hunt our favorite unit every year. . . Here is another thing Wyoming does really well. Request your copy of these publications and it will give you information on guides and outfitters, hunter...

Welcome to the tangled web of highly opinionated information! Love To hunt big game and birds in the west, but Africa needs to be sooner rather than later.

I’ll agree with Brickburn and wouldn’t be surprised at what 6.5 variant it turned out to be

:D Pop Popcorn:

Great hunting and some excellent trophies taken. Congratulations!
