@Red Leg …. Is that a “mule footed” hog, as in the non-cloven/un split hoof? I ask because you said it’s from Spain. We Call them “Mule Shoes” and I shot one that looked identical to that years ago in Southern Oklahoma of all places.

It’s a work in progress…. BRNO 602 .375H&H, Bell & Carlson stock, AHR trigger & Safety, Alaskan Arms QD rings and Leupold VX5 2-10 fire dot. Still trying to decide on barrel length before having it cerakoted.

Well said…. He would have had to feel people out for future and more in-depth participation, which I think speaks volumes as to prince Andrew and Bill Clinton’s more than two dozen trips on his jet.

My PH for the tuskless hunt in Zim was a self professed Leopard junkie; I asked him what his preferred caliber and ammo for clients to bring for leopard. “.300Win and Nosler Partitions, it opens fast, penetrates and is tough enough for any bait; illuminated reticles are a big advantage also.”

Well said!…. You would be pissing in the Cheerios of people that have the money and legal connections to file civil action worth billions and unless they were found guilty in court would win. Just look at what Michael Jackson got away with and he was out on trial.

Think of the question more along the lines of "How long was your piece of string?" There are certainly lots of variables so I'm trying to get the some total of what others have experienced. You make all valid points and I agree on the pre-baiting.

Considering booking a Leopard hunt in Zimbabwe for 2027 and another post about bait pricing made me start thinking about bait volume. So for those of you who have hunted Leopard(successful or not) what kind and how many bait animals did it take to complete your hunt?

I’ll take one pm sent

My Sweet 16 if the best quail gun in my opinion, if only there were enough quail to hunt in my area.

I voted "other larger than .308" because for versatility it's hard to beat a 30-06. Greater case capacity if he reloads and better choice of bullet weight if he's thinking about stepping up to elk.

I lived in Austin for a decade and the central Texas area is prone to flash floods; back in 2015 the Blanco river rose 45' in one hour and it was devastating. This video is 10 years old As for recent events..... AFD is holding a no confidence vote on the fire chief that refused to deploy the...

Negative!.... Modern Wranglers are POS(Mexico, Bangladesh & Vietnam) quality and they decreased the number of belt loops. You want jeans that won't die = Round House Order their USA made direct from the factory and free shipping over $97...

LOL.... Think you need to check the score board on that one!

Universal decapping die to pop out the primers, walnut media with Flitz polish, lube and size, trim and chamfer, wash the lube off in hot soapy water, rinse and put in the oven to try.

My money is on protecting the image of Israel, how would it look if Mossad was involved with Epstein?

Given all the immigration drama going on, here is your daily dose of hypocrisy. Mexicans are protesting because Americans have "colonized" their country and refuse to speak their language, compete for housing, don't pay taxes and are gaming immigration laws....

Agreed, LOTS of the anti Africa hunting crowd and even the general anti hunting crowd watch his show and hopefully it will trickle down to some people being enlightened to the fact that photo safaris are not the savior of African game. We'll see if it has any affect on hunts, as I think it...

Steve Rinella/ Meat Eater podcast is in Tanzania

Yep, their not looking at the catch and release treatment that the "summer of love" protestors got. News report I saw this morning said that they were all looking at a mandatory minimum 10 years to life in federal prison and federal system has no parole. Given the conspiracy to commit the...

@michael458 I notice the Hydro penetrated nearly 20% more then the CPS with nearly identical impact velocity and weight.... Why is that and what is the meplat percentage of the CPS? @Fordy I was definitely surprised, that tuskless was 12yds away and we were in dark jess and I didn't see that...

Well said …. Between my two trips to OZ I’ve spent 3 months on your big damn island and the hunting opportunities are remarkable. Pigs, Brumbies, water Buffalo, Bantang, scrubbers, donkies, fox, camels, Sambar and on and on….. navigate the licenses and your able to enjoy a sportsman’s paradise...

Sorry to hear it didn't work out, but also sounds like you had a good time with a outfitter you had good results in the past with.

Yes sir they were buddies or at least they started that way. I have seen that painting before and I take it as Epstein not so quietly saying "I own your ass!.....buddy"

I believe the USA is keeping this quiet because it exposes the intelligence penetration and antics of Israel; Ghislane Maxwells father was alleged to have been a Mossad operative and also had very serious issues with financial crimes related to his companies...... Most of this came out after he...

$20K isn't a lot of money to some and a fortune to others, hence why ..... everything is relative. So instead of thinking in terms of "cheap vs expensive" I would urge everyone regardless of disposable income to enjoy the experiences they can afford while they (and those around them) are...

when new hunters ask me about what caliber for their first deer rifle I say…. “.270, .308 or 30-06 it really doesn’t matter they all work; however in an ammo shortage .308 will be the hardest ammo to find.” Hopefully the days of empty shelves are behind us, but if you’re shooting a .308 you...

Yeah it is!….. Magazine capacity is like motor size. There is no replacement for displacement!

.375H&H and Magazine holds 6

You suck and you’ve been reported

That stock has a 15”LOP so it took a little longer, so 2 weeks. If it’s a standard length then it’s probably ready to ship.

Yes here is a 602 in a B&C stock for a 550 A little fitting is needed and glass bedding the forend recoil lug.

I had excellent results with .470ne Hydros on my tuskless last July. First shot cut a 3” branch in half, broke her shoulder, fully penetrated the heart broke ribs on the opposite side and lodged under the skin and was found by axe strike…. Second round penetrated the heart and exited, 3rd...

The trailers are 16-20’…. Plus there are static ground charges… lots of them. Yes there is a federal permit imvoled in all of this. And a flame thrower….

Thank you @Hunter-Habib We’ve been rigging fireworks for hours… Four trailers full

I missed the .404J 400gr I hope the 350 RNSN .375 are in this shipment

We demand pictures at your nearest convenience…. I think Kynoch is out of business, but I believe Hornady loads 450ne

It's almost as if employers don't have an endless pool of bottom dollar labor, then wages increase and so does domestic participation in the workforce.......

Yes.... What caliber is that Krieghoff and what bullet?

I watched a documentary years ago about "Albino United" It was a soccer team of Albino Tanzanians that was formed by a school that acts as a sanctuary for albino children; they showed the ramifications of witch craft, including the grave of an infant child that died.... the grave had to be...

First thing I do is clean the packing grease/oil out of the barrel and action with solvent and brush. I take a bore snake to the range with me and wet it down with solvent and pull it through after every shot for the first 4-5 shots; then pull it through after every 3 shot group during the...

@Doug3006 Depends how you define wage growth, we have only seen wage growth for blue collar workers in the last few years, after all 2 generations ago you could sustain a family of four on construction worker pay and today you would be in poverty unless you are a journeyman electrician, skilled...

Agreed and well said! My personal finance professor back in 2003 also taught us about how inflation benefited the wealthy because they are the ones that own the most real estate; so I bought farm land in a state with low property taxes thinking it would be my best bet to accrue wealth and...

When social security was enacted there were 33 people paying in for every 1 collecting benefits; because the life expectancy was 62yo and thus the age to collect benefits was 62. Now the life expectancy is 79yo but collection age is still 62yo and there are 3 people paying in for every 1...

Well said sir! I've paid into SS for the last 27 years and by the time I can collect it I will have paid into it for 48 years..... yet it is set to be insolvent in 2034; 12 years before I am old enough to collect benefits. Yet I hear from the local elderly population....... "Well SS was in...

It's funny because it's true!

It may be but I don’t care one bit, I just find it ironic!…. Looks like I won’t have to carry around another tool when I leave the country!

@Andrew NOLA Just opened up my new in box VX5HD CDS-ZL2 and guess what it doesn’t have on the battery compartment?

Same with many Native American tribes… owls are seen as a bad oman or messenger of death.

For .470ne, my opinion is that it is dependent on the quality of dies and how you size the brass. I started with Hornady dies and was having issues with stuck cases and also short brass life of 4-5 loadings and then had a case head separation, I spoke with Ken Owen about this and he said...

Your comment about he Mozambican tracker reminded me of the TIA interview of PH Peter Wood. At the 13:25 mark in the video, he tells about an experience in Northern Mozambique where they were on a 21 day hunt with 2 lion, 2 leopard, bull elephant and various plains game on license. They were...
