    Binocs for African Plains Game hunting?

    That looks like something I would’ve tried to use for sneaking liquor into a college football game with.

    Coming to AK to hunt moose?

    Great idea! I wish every state had something similar. I’ve seen some atrocious meat care even on our whitetail. Does this regulation apply to non resident hunters hunting with a guide? I’ll watch the video tonight.

    Small cats and night-hunting

    Good luck, finding a good small cat guy is hard to do. They have so much character it’s hard to duplicate. Same with birds.

    CZ 550 416 Rigby as new - what is it worth ? Asking for an American

    I sold the same rifle just before I learned that they weren’t going to make them anymore for $1750, I paid $1300. I believe if I would have held on to it I probably could’ve gotten $2500.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Good Grief….aka, All The Fun You Can Have Traveling In One Trip!

    I had a friend, his wife and granddaughter on that flight. They were rerouted through Paris and lost 3 days I think. Their return back to Atlanta wasn’t much better. My wife, daughter and I are on that flight in August, haven’t had any trouble before but this definitely not giving me a warm...

    Which is best entry shotgun?

    Definitely not what I started with!! An old Western Field BOLT action full choked .410, in fairness though I believe starting with it made me the wing shot I became. By the time I was given my grandfather’s feather weight Model 12 I was hitting around 2 out of every 3 doves I shot at and...

    Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

    Philip Glass stated “ the 2nd buffalo is virtually nothing” hell I was just asking a freaking question out of curiosity. You are correct, what’s an extra 3 or 4 grand on a $100,000 safari and I do understand that even an increase in trophy fee for a second bull is a hell of a lot cheaper than...

    Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

    I agree but some were saying they were practically giving them away, not just here but on some videos and TV shows. Like I said I was just curious, not looking at Tanzania now but maybe in the future.

    Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

    That’s what I thought, in my simple mind an increase of a thousand dollars on each additional animal is not a bargain.

    Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

    I noticed people saying multiple buffalo in Tanzania are affordable. Been looking at some outfitters with prices on their website and unless I’m missing something this is not the case. First buffalo $3750 2nd $4500 3rd $5500 4th $7500 I’m not looking at Tanzania as of now so I wasn’t going to...

    Cape Buffalo in SA or Tanzania? The better hunt

    I did my first hunt in Mozambique, why would you not recommend it for a first time hunter? Just curious.

    If anyone is going to be chasing brant, if they want an Atlantic brant you may be out of luck. I have a good friend in the USFWS and he told me earlier in the summer that the Atlantic brant season is on the verge of closure due to population decline. @Green Chile , I’m with you on the ruddy...

    Cutler kills a sable!!!

    It’s a little strange to me on who these yahoos decide to attack, probably due to social media . Several people I played with were featured on TV shows and one even had his own show for a few years and to my knowledge they were never attacked. I for one would love to hear about his whole safari.

    I’m short the fulvous whistling duck, Barrow’s goldeneye and king eider. I have blackbellied nesting in the backyard I saw 3 broods today. They are becoming more common than wood ducks around here. Been happening since I saw the first pair around 2015. There’s an outside chance I could run...

    Meat Eater - Steve Rinella in Africa

    I view Rinella as an ethical hunter and would expect that image to carry over into an African hunt. We need to face it that the outside world see safaris as useless for conservation and we as hunters are just trying to stroke our own egos. To me he could be an excellent spokesman for hunting in...

    Meat Eater - Steve Rinella in Africa

    I probably watch the spin-off shows more. I did like the one where they cooked under utilized species until they claimed you could shoot crows in Alabama when in fact there is no closed season in the state.

    Meat Eater - Steve Rinella in Africa

    One thing I’ve noticed is him skinning big game with what looks to be a 2” blade on his knife and using the same knife to fillet a fish. Much better tools for the jobs at hand. Just me being quirky i guess.

    Opinions Welcome. RMR vs. 1-6 Scope .375 H&H

    I just couldn’t get a good cheek weld. I bought a sleeve with different thickness of pads and use the thinnest in the package. This is a Montana Rifle Company rifle and it has CZ style mounts, I have a mount from Skinner Sights made for CZ and the RMR but haven’t bothered putting it on the rifle...

    Opinions Welcome. RMR vs. 1-6 Scope .375 H&H

    I have a VX 6 1-6pwr with illuminated reticle on my .375 Ruger and have taken many whitetail and hogs here in the states and plainsgame, buffalo and elephant in Africa. It worked perfectly on shots to about 150yds I don’t think I could have done that with an RMR. I do have an RMR with a 1 MOA...

    Wive’s bday safari… hoping to hunt!

    Anything is possible, my wife and I went dove hunting and fishing on our honeymoon. But with that being said we met on a blind fishing date! We will be in the Limpopo for our 30th anniversary trip. Good luck.

    English doubles will soon……..

    Why would you test bullets by shooting them into a non-compressible substance like water? Seems like it would be better in ballistic jell with bone structure.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Cape Buffalo & Plains Game With GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS In The Eastern Cape

    Every morning I take a look at G4A Facebook page, I can stay on it for a few minutes until I’m blocked as I don’t have a an account. This morning they had a video of a tracker and Rocky sneaking up on a wounded kudu. It’s amazing how stealthy an African tracker can be even if the animal is...

    I pretty much do the same thing except I brown some spicy ground sausage and mix with the cream cheese.

    Alternatives to Wall Mounting Euro Mounts

    I used to have a table top pedestal with a feral hog skull on it. I thought it was pretty good but I ended up needing that space and went to skull hookers. I probably still have the pedestal somewhere and will take a picture of it when I get home if I can find it.

    So dumb questions about the 375 H&H

    Was your rifle shooting well before the gunsmith got a hold of it? If so he owes you to make it right. IMO Side note , I had a friend that had his over/under ceracoated and when he got it back the thing wouldn’t even shut. I’ve had 2 rifles ceracoated with no issues so it seems to be a crap...

    Trophy Room Build after 45 years of hunting

    Good choice to add a waterbuck in Coutada 11, I walked away from some giants in Coutada 10 and have regretted it ever since. I did get an outstanding bull in 2018 hunting with Game 4 Africa to rectify the situation.

    Courteney Selous Boots made from elephant

    I guess it would depend on what country and if all of the CITES paperwork is in order. I believe there is still a pair in the “don’t even try” to bring this in the country case in Atlanta!
