Nilgai! It's VERY good!

there are some places in TX that have exotic meats. 'have eaten eland and zebra (and plenty others) from the Hill Country. Unless it folded, I believe there's at least 1 butchery/cold storage facility that sells that and many more! :) Others on here from TX will know more...This is just 1...

my Son did same. oddly, I did not bc my stomach was upset from something eaten prior. obviously this stuff did NOT yet resemble biltong, but freshly cut meat peppered with flies! lol

...if you've helped natives hang elephant biltong on clotheslines in camp and have pleasant dreams about it, often.

MANY Whitworth Mausers out there (great shooters, nice wood) but too light (require the same treatment, a great pad, and select the heaviest steel mounts/rings, a stout scope and even a sling that features cartridge loops for extra heft. Most pleasant-to-shoot DG guns are easily in the 13+ lb...

Yes. You can add up to two in the buttstock.

i've received dozens of these lol

That was Robert Ruark long before Capstick. Capstick was a better writer. lol

Clearly they need K. Harris the (somewhat African) "Border Control Czar" to assist in controlling this significant problem!

Billy Idol's middle school graduation photo?

Musina in 2030:

All PHs should be on the lookout for these two kingpin escapees (last seen here at Sun City!) Anyone out in the bush hearing shouts of "Boss! De Plane! De Plane!!" should immediately contact authorities!

Unlike the feds in the US, the RSA gov't was ALL over this, and thus executed swift justice on them. A top official was quoted as saying "Follow the Cholula (hot sauce) sales!"

I'm selling vice grips in the Limpopo only $300 USD ea. PM me.

'Was somewhat a taken back when recently reading that they've also infiltrated Native American Reservations in the US (for the same purposes.) I know that ones without casinos are economically challenged, but surely there's a better way for us to treat Our people in modern times with the...

*i did see tortilla shells for sale at Pick-n-Play (SA's northernmost food store w/ casino/bar. You check off what items you wish for them to pick for you, pay, and then the parking lot safari members put the groceries in your car!) Also, just down the N1 exists a Large avocado plantation, so...

Yet another widget marketed for areas where semis aren't legal. Is it available in 30-30? LOL Where I live, for the big game seasons the regs state "guns may be loaded to capacity." As no semis are legal, i guess you could have 10-30 shots (if you had 3 tags and prefer running targets!?) lol

PH Apprentice 2030?? My Son the Dentist/Endodontist will be trading work for Safaris! They have been trained in MethMouth!

*As touched upon above, I have also found that the time-saver RCBS e-powder dispenser doesn't necessarily drop a powder charge that matches its weight on a decent, old Lyman powder balance, and further, its load-to-load powder drop variability is not as precise as using the balance to measure...

You are Correct! I just read that.

'Just to clarify, you are looking to trade these 3 $300ish Chinese scopes for 1 decent American DG scope? (That sounds about right, as the ones you mention are in the $1K+/- range for 1" L and 30mm A). 30mm tube L is now closer to $1,600.) Also, which reticles do they feature?? 15x and 50 mm...

like the reverse of shooting at a charging buffalo's head! Meal Team Six jumps! i like it.

'Need to go bigger than 6.5 Arisaka lol

One of the finest, pillar/fully bedded synth stocks there is! Green w/ raised black flecks to aide in gripping a wet rifle. Bansner's High Tech are just as good/accurate, but lighter (last photo). H-S has decent weight, and you can have them install 1-2 recoil reducers within the butt (which i...

Definitely a student of the Disney School of Wildlife (i.e. flying elephants, crying w/ long eyelashes, hugging/kissing humans etc.) and in the end, it showed. RIP. Perhaps a few others learned something that day?...Reading comprehension is also key (warning signs.)

sometimes w/ black bear near me. and that's sad!

Natural Selection in action. Political parties nowadays have slowed the process down by propping those people up with tax monies, but that's one that slipped through the wire. There are many other examples, annually (Bison, Elk, bear, hippo, croc, etc.) Like many DG safaris, perhaps the parks...

My son (in AK) said they attack and kill more people there, but it rarely happens here (milder climate, abundant food.) A boy was trying to get closer to get a pic years back and got mauled. An unattended, just breastfed baby was taken out of a stroller decades ago. (The mom was rushing her...

RIP Francis Macomber II

Watch any of the older, late 80s/early 90s movies re: muzzleloader hunting (and equipment used, performance) in Africa. Supplies will be an issue and you'll be re-sighting in country. PG v. DG a big difference, obviously. All that said, I know many PG/DG have been taken by using the legs of...

A 50 cal sabot bullet is 45 cal. (i.e. modern Barnes ML bullets that one should use in Africa. There are other premium ML bullets as well, but they're all 45s inside a plastic sleeve that effectively ups the diameter to that of the 50 cal bore.) Also why you get the increased V. 2,450-2,750...

Never an issue in 6 trips, with about 1 out of 5 guns having properly headstamped brass for the aforementioned reasons. They are interested in counting rounds. I was concerned about it on safari 1, so I carried a letter from the gunsmith that explained gun stamped X used brass stamped Y to...

The velocity of most standard or traditional muzzleloaders does not support using the heaviest of bullets on African game. The energy is just not there. That said the Remington XML and many other custom muzzleloaders using bullets 300 plus or minus grains at 2400 or more FPS will get the job...

Ethiopia there's also some mountains in RSA Namibia Zimbabwe check out Rainier Josche's videos taking people hunting in the mountains of Tanzania.

Was 102 and 103 2 weeks ago but back to normal now '70s and '80s

'Had 3 of 'em in the past (458 WM and 2 300 WMs.) All EXCELLENT shooters. Nice gun. Worth $1K+. Should sell easily. Will show to 1 friend, but under Bidenomics, will not likely be approved by The Boss.

*from Bryan Martin/Asian Mtn. Outfitters' article in Western Hunter

What caliber/cartridge is it?

So, one also has to beware of Buffalo in the trees! My 1 new thing learned today. Also a unique, delayed example of "it's the dead ones that kill you!"

I LOVE my Rem XML 26" 700 bolt action for primed case ignition and 150-200 gr powder. Found it quite by accident N.O.S. at the Kittery, ME Trading Post while on vaca. Super accurate and powerful (nearly 375 HH powerful. Heavy recoil but manageable. They say it's a 500 yd gun, but I'm...

Endodontist Son shares your exact same sentiments! And, he worked w/ a taxidermist as a kid, so that may have inspired him somewhat...

170-175 gr bullets will do the trick. Ensure that your rifling twist is appropriate to stabilize the larger 7mm bullets. Two neighbors have 757s...One is a sporterized, old military Mauser that shoots the 170s just fine. The other has a much newer American factory gun that likes 140 gr and...

Or Caitlyn Jenner! lol He's hell with the Javelin & Shotputs!!

'Reminded me of this one ('first saw it a few years back at a local tavern near our deer camp.)

Either looks fine (their horn configuration is so different!) Then you can get caught up in the HBeeste Slam (there are several subspecies.) In my first 2 trips to Africa I had ZERO interest in taking one. Then, in NW Namibia I saw a dark-colored whopper of a herd bull (several times-hunting...

you can use any GPS app on your phone to get you back to your car or abode in total darkness. I hunted a few places where church bells used to ring-i LOVED that-and that's when I knew when to head back.
