Here's another twist in the road....when a buffalo is standing sideways looking at you with one eye, THAT is when he is actually looking you over intently and often is raising his adrenaline level as he does so! He is deciding that you are a potential enemy and preparing to do something about...

They look a lot better engraved, too.

Been looking for one of those (affordable, too) for a long time. Not for speed loading or DG gun, but for a drilling. Thanks!

+1 on zip offs. Shorts are great if it is hot, but depends on terrain, too. For example NO ONE wears shorts in the briar ridden East Texas bottoms. Your calves will be ripped to shreds, and you'll have that lovely bloody itch. PH's wear them enough that their skin toughens, though. Depends of...

Did NOT know that--hope he'll chime in!

Now that's what I'm talking about. Thanks, Tanks.

What a fun project! And 222 is a niche that is missing in my arsenal, as I suspect in many others as well. A nice, light kicker just made to turn out the lights on a winter pelage fox, etc. Happy for you.

Still headed toward the "Suppository of Skills" it would seem

Correct, we will be within 50 miles of Salzburg.

Oh, things like pistol shooting tips from Tanks, or how to get the best car deal from someone inside the business, or offroading advice, physical training advice for sheep hunts, etc. Best practices from the best. Much like Rookhawk on stock finishes recently--just sharing how to a achieve a...

Spur of the moment, but the wife and I will be a week each in Radstadt and Bad Gastein May 23-June 6th. Any of our members have recommendations for the area at that time? Radstadt resort description listed "hunting within 50 kilometers."

Well this is rapidly degenerating, as many of my efforts seem to do... What I was expecting was not just WHAT you are good at, but WHY and what we can learn to up our game from your experience and inside tips.

You got that right! Man, I wish I could have you mount something for me.

Don't throw rocks at me, but I like everything except the wood finish...

Where are you located! What advice would you give on car purchase--any inside tricks to avoid overpaying?

I USED to....

Real happy for you!

Rifle scopes are small potatoes in the money making scheme of things--Zeiss threatened to cut back, Nikon already DID cut it out of their portfolio. Otherwise the technology would already be investigated. My SIL has to have the latest phone--he showed me a Samsung (I think) with resolution so...

You know something that others do not. We want to hear about it.

Standard operation for Hollywood. Make us love/identify with the villain, while cops wreck, get shot, get left hung out as faceless, person less entities. Nobody even roots for the scum to get taken down.

We at AH are blessed to include in our fraternity persons with exceptional skills. With their advice, we have the opportunity to raise our level of their skill sets. If they will consent to hold forth on the finer points! For example, Tanks has shot a little over a million rounds, much of it in...

The companies that had investment stolen by Venezuela deserve to have their money reimbursed. Make communist life choices be hard.

Is anyone a fan of hollow ground blades?

How long is the barrel on the one with laminated stock?

Now just substitute cat squirrel boiled off the bone and it's stock, a stick of butter and pepper!

WHY the same minimum caliber?.....because all those mentioned will KILL you!! And buffalo, due to numbers hunted will statistically kill more hunters/PHs. It's a wonder there is not a higher minimum for all Pachyderms. Non hunter deaths--the hippo by far.

All black powder shooters, I would think. And some of our tribe shoot black powder expresses.

I never had a problem strumming, or getting used to two triggers, but then I had an English straight hand stock which made it easy to shift back a bit. With a tight pistol grip, I might have preferred a single trigger.

What steel is the Civivi? There might be one of those in my future. If I had a dollar for every fish I have filleted, I could easily pay airfare to anywhere in Africa, lol. I value a good filet knife over a good hunting knife because I spend more time with it.

Well, I looked at my Bockbuchsflinte and the first trigger is the rifle BECAUSE it has a stecher set trigger which requires pushing it forward. There would not be room for that in the closer second trigger space.

If constantly shooting incoming birds (like uphill incoming partridges on the Glorious Twelfth) it might pay to shoot the tight choke first, the open choke as they approach. Not sure if any guns are MADE that way, or if a double trigger just allows the selection. I have heard that some...

I saw a picture of an elephant hide pistol holster. It was an advertisement by a holster company that popped up while I was researching a pistol. Wouldn't take much leather.

I often see larger bell scopes on AR types than traditional rifles.

I am a BIG believer in KG products, especially their metal safe copper remover. Harmless and fantastic! I have the two piece bore guides Speedy Gonzales recommends...brand escapes me at the moment. They are black plastic with an O ring at front, and a bore specific insert at rear. Also a solvent...

When you stated "wounded animals" I envisioned a coup de grace on an eland, etc. But for thick skinned DG? No, No, no where near rifle velocity/energy/penetration. Stay with what you brung to the dance.

One reason to rent homes is because if you build a home and rent it out for a stated number of years, you are allowed to build it cheaper--as in lower quality than would pass inspection otherwise. Afterward you can sell it and the cheapness is "grandfathered" in. One of my uncles built 30 such...

And they could not offer the same help today?

Why not? Nobody is going to do anything to them....not even their own disenfranchised constituents... It's a replay of the scene in "Liar, Liar" where the character says "no, I won't sue you because, ____, blah blah, and the man at the impoundment place replied, "You've been here before"

Thanks! I can't do everything he did, but I can do those sling wraps. I have a hole punch and still know how to make a strip leather "machine"

Raptors are more like the blades coming off a helicopter inside the buffalos body.

Buy the Big Sandy creek bottom near where I grew up for annual driven deer hunts and wood duck. Rungwa TZ for all the nasties plus lesser kudu Blue hills of Ethiopia for Nyala Bongo Southern Africa where its cooler than the equator--including full tour of Zimbabwe, and the Caprivi New Zealand...

I follow Brownell's instructions on acid fume blue. The process utilizes two acids placed in shallow dishes in an enclosure. (I think nitric and hydrochloric, but check) Start with 5-6 drops each, adjust only if necessary to get a reaction on the metal with out too heavy fumes which can remove...

Can you share with us the make and model of your sling with the series of leather thongs running through it? Had not seen your carry method before,.,very interesting

Yep, you win!

The British may have said, "There are no bad soldiers, only bad officers." If the officers--the outfitter, PH, staff are unprofessional, you can have a bad trip. As in, they promised to bait leopard in advance but never got around to it....and even afterward did not bait with PG animals you shot...

I don't see how gun oil could get on a recoil pad, since it's the point furtherthest from. Agree on material defect over time.

Limbsaver is soft, but one of the early grind to fit ones I put on a rifle became VERY sticky over time--so much so that it would actually pick up leaves! Hope they have improved that.

chilly the last two days, but BEAUTIFUL today in Dallas

Since the majority of witch doctor business has to do with casting and breaking curses, the president probably wanted to even the odds for his own protection. It's a real racket. Sort of like when emperor Constantine had to face an opponent in battle who was supposedly a famous wizard of sorts...

Well, there is a Muti section of road leading off downtown Durban. One side of the road had herbal ingredients separated into types, and repeated exactly as you went from stall to stall. Probably some of these had a medicinal purpose. But the left side of the road...it had wings of kites or...
