    Great documentary by Matt Walsch. He mentioned in part, poor non slaves being used for dangerous work in the American south. When my family was moved out by Sherman's march to the sea, they passed through Louisiana en route to Texas. One day a foreman was heard to say--"don't send N###gers out...

    Most impressive bushcraft

    Old African trackers, camp personnel, and PH's often show off old school methods of dealing with hunting/tracking/cooking/logistics that are simple yet effective. Many I would never have known about if I had not observed them. Case in point--when I shot my warthog, the African personnel...

    Verney Carron 450-400 3"

    I like Docter Optics red dots sights better than any other I have seen. Good choice.. Love those case colors--be sure to keep them out of the sun while stored (don't use a glass gun case near a window). Some may say that sun doesn't erase CC but I would not take the chance. It's just too pretty...

    African Braais- your favorites ?!

    Painful to consider, but I think SA braai masters may be a notch better than North American grill meisters..... OK, now I've thrown a skunk in the meeting room.... IMO impala liver doesn't need anything added to make it de-licious!

    Most Coveted Animal in Africa?

    IF I were to recategorize "most coveted" to only include what is realistically available, I might go with a great bell shaped Nyala. Man, I saw a beauty outside Natal--unfortunately, I was riding in a jeep with others--in a game park.

    Burris Scopes……Love them or Hate them?

    I just remembered another Burris 1 inch scope I bought simply because the (32mm?) bell of the scope was just small enough to tip off successfully using claw mounts. The problem I had was that, with what I thought was still shootable light left in eventide, the view would blink to whiteness. Very...

    My concern is that a nation like NK or a nuclear Iran would respond to the overwhelmingly superior military of the US by reasoning, OK--we will set off ONE bomb in the upper atmosphere and EMP the US into their Stone Age.

    IMO, if you want your scope to last longer, don't put your rifle in the rack on the safari truck! Hold it in your hands, and I can guarantee it will last 50% longer.
