I once drove through San Francisco (not Frisco!) with a sign taped to a window, "Nuke the baby gay whales!"

I hope you're wrong as well, but I do not think you are.

God bless America and Israel.

Exactly my thought. One small.elk step after the trigger breaks, one errant puff of wind, and a fine animal escapes to die in pain and maybe never recovered. An unethical stunt.

Munnik thought it was real.

I forgot about writing that over a year ago. At least I'm consistent if a little redundant. You' ll.probably live.

I have found the same thing. I can see no logic in the acceptance of rod and reel fishing but opposition to spear fishing. The Cayman Islands are so locked into this thinking that I will not be going back there

But Disney taught us that wild animals only eat the old and sick. My aunt believed this and a mountain lion killed and ate one of her horses. I showed her the tracks and told her that mountain lions (cougars, pumas, panthers, etc.) do not eat carrion so the cat had killed her year and a half old...

Good luck, and bring us back a good story!

You're right, and I'm okay with that. I just don't like it when they take their kids with them.

But we learned all about the outdoors by watching Bambi!

I have taken two buffalo bulls in Zimbabwe. Bother taken with my .458 Win Mag. I used 500 grain Hornady solids on both. My PH prefers solids for buffalo. The first shot on the first bull was a little low in the heart and he took exception to it. Things got kind on "Western" for a little while...

Sorry. I couldn't translate all.of this. MI Espanol es muy malo! I think.you said that you use a .270 WSM, with 150 grain bullets which compares well to a 7mm Rem Mag.with 175 grain bullets on big antelope up to eland. The problem is .270 WSM ammo is harder to find. I hope I wss close! In...

It makes you wonder how it is that people on the.left do not realize that President Trump along with.most other Americans do not object to immigrants. They object to ILLEGAL immigrants. Not the same thing. Simple concept, but then no one accuses lefties of being all that bright.

Sorry. I hit the wrong button. It was supposed to.say 3250. At 3450 the rifle might blow up!

I've been shooting a 7mm RM since 1981. Since then I have killed a great many blacktails, a couple of mule deer and two pronghorns with it. I started shooting 150 grain Corelockts then started hand loading. I finally settled on 140 grain AccuBonds at about 3450 fps. Ammo, brass and other...

I would be far more inclined to go with a 7mm Rem Msg. Loaded ammo and components are much easier to.come by and will.be for years to come.

A shot to the spine will drop any animal in its tracks. A broken neck will kill any buffalo DRT. I broke the neck of my first bull when he got up and went after the PH. DRT. low through the heart didn't do it. The next bull took the bullet through the shoulder and completely smashed the top end...

Hi, and welcome! Whether you want to hunt in Africa or anywhere else, the first thing you want to do is decide which animals you most want to take. If you want to try Africa, do you want to take dangerous game? Buffalo, leopard, elephant? If plains game, which animals interest you the most...

As you already have a .375 H&H it seems to me that keeping the rifle and memories and just rebarrel it to 404J as you thought. That's the way I would go.

Liberals tend to live miserable lives. Harvard in particular is well known for its antisemitic stand and failure to protect Jewish students. Liberals in general will support any idea that opposes common sense. The result has been DEI foolishness including the willing mutilation of "trans"...

When one specific political party leans against everything I believe in, I fail to see any choice but to oppose them.

That's right! We nned.more support for Hamas, illegal aliens and boys in girl's locker rooms... Uh...never mind.

Obviously. Because Joe Biden was so much more intelligent, honest and capable than Trump. Oh. Wait. No he wasn't. Maybe you have to live in the US to have a valid opinion.

I guess we all do.

I do not know of anyone with.more and more varied experience than Hunter Habib. That's what I meant when I wrote that if you said it I would believe it!

That's like saying bolt action rifles would fade because semi-autos came on big during WW 2. That was 80 years ago. Most hunters still use bolt action rifles in blued steel, and many still like the look and feel of walnut.

New rifles, and especially semi-autos, just don't have a soul!

And the down side of that would be.... Sorry it's not coming to me.

How do you shoot an animal as small as a duiker with s .30-06 and any bullet, and recover the bullet? I have noticed that people shooting all copper bullets seem to retrieve a disproportionate number of bullets. Maybe because copper is lighter than lead? I've only.shot.one duiker. I was using...

Don't worry! I still.have all of my walnut and blued steel rifles. Those are what I always use except for when hunting in miserable rain.

Yep. All of my titles were walnut and blue steel. After I moved to Western Washington I had to buy a Model 7 in 7-08 with synthetic and stainless. Handy little rifle and I don't have the guilt of exposing my "good" guns to constant rain.

I I was just about to write the same thing.

I agree. AR in synthetic. Hunting guns in blue and walnut. Western Washington also calls for synthetic and stainless.

I've never taken a rifle to Africa that wasn't built with walnut and blued steel. My two favorites are on Mauser actions in .300 and .458 Winchester Magnums.

So, you'd prefer that people just trespass without asking? Signs saying that the property is leased to a hunt club and that nonmembers will be prosecuted seems to be the most effective. And yes, my family owns a section (640 acres), so I know something about this.

Nothing wrong with taking females if the goal is to manage or reduce the heard. I doubt if you shoot females in a culling operation and then claim that you stalked and killed a trophy class bull (or ram, or buck, etc.).

I made my first safari at the age of 28, in 1983, and yes, I had read "Death in the Long Grass" too! You're going to have a great time!

I was thinking along the same lines.

I thought Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

Exactly.

Of course no one would shoot a buffalo that did not present a clear shot at the vitals. It does not matter if he is standing or laying down. I have only seen one buffalo that was lying down. He was in a dry river bed and was not being covered by grass or brush. I am quite certain that I could...

I have talked to deer hunters that claim to always get their bucks up and running because they feel that it is unfair to kill a buck that doesn't know it is being hunted. Frankly, I have always regarded such hunters as ignorant, and most likely have not killed many (if any) bucks. It seems to.me...

And you know what most PHs would allow how?

T That's OK. I would have done the same thing.

I guess not. Yes, the word was "tuskless." I hate auto correct!

On my last safari I killed an impale ewe for camp.meat because the property.manager asked me to.on a previous safari so shot a warthog sow. It was during a drought and the warthog was starving. It was an act of kindness. I had no qualms about either, but on the whole I'm not really a fan.of...

One in Zimbabwe. August 2022 as we were driving into our hunting area. I haven't seen any while I was.on foot and hunting, which is fine by.me.

White? Yes. Americans? Not yet.

I have one also. I got it the same way in 1983. It's a treasured decoration in my "trophy room."
