Ask her: "How many pairs of shoes does a woman really need"?

Roe Buck season starts May the 16. in Denmark In the evening, my neighbor was so kind as to walk to his stand an hour after I did, thereby flushing a buck towards my position. Thanks a lot neighbor ;-) The venison made it into my freezer a couple hours later, de-boned, cleaned and packed...

Do you need the magnification or would an Aimpoint be suitable for the type of hunting you do? The Aimpoint Micro weights 3.3 oz The Aimpoint 9000 weights 8.0 oz You could carry a 3-X magnifier in your pocket, in case of longer shots.

What reason, if any, was given for the 42% price increase? Do you deal directly with the outfitter in Africa or via an agent/brooker/middleman of some sort?

That number is the entire US defence budget, A large part of the US defence budget is spent outside NATO on "operations" unrelated to NATO, for instance in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and South America. If you want to compare US vs. European contribution to NATO, then find the...

The US showed its true colors by repeatedly threatening to invade and annex two NATO member states.

The US have passed that point, 1.22 vs. 0.919 Trillion: https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/interest-expense-avg-interest-rates/ https://usafacts.org/reports/state-of-the-union/defense/

Having to pay toll to Iran to pass the Strait of Hormuz is a much worse situation for world trade than before US+Israel attacked. It is revolting to be pushed into paying money to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, by the actions of the US+Israel.

A soldier deliberately violating the Geneva Convention or the Hague convention does so at his or her peril and soils the reputation of the military he or she is a part of.

There are two very prominent cases on this very topic at International Criminal Court as we speak. The citations inserted below are taken from this article, which also gives a brief introduction to the relevant parts of the 1949 Geneva Convention and its distinction between "civilian objects...

Meopta have worked well for me. They have a stellar reputation for optical quality.

That sounds both reasonable and reassuring . Thanks for taking the time to respond

I have been speaking informally with another Tajikistan outfitter, so I have a few specific questions: What is the trophy delivery time? Have you received the trophy at this point? How is/was the trophy export experience? Any unexpected challenges or expenses in this regard? Was the trophy...

Refreshing to hear of a hunt where the hunter have to work for it. The landscape looks challenging with little concealment. I hope to visit one of the "stans" myself for hunting.

EU does not have a Military, therefore EU cannot deliver Military aid. It is the same with "America". There is no "American military", only individual countries in America such as Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, US, Argentina etc. each of which have their own militarizes and therefore can...

Looks like mounts for a scope with rails eg. the Zeiss Inner rail system Consider keeping the mounts and obtaining a scope ment for that system. Beware that Zeiss, Swarowski and Schmidt & Bender have three somewhat similar but incompatible rail systems. Look for markings on your mount to...

For precise shooting in I prefer to sit at a table with sandbags both at the front and rear of the rifle.

You are quite right for two reasons: The US is the aggressor in this war NATO has a clearly defined geographical boundary, defined in Article 6 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Iran, the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea etc. lies outside the geographical boundary of...

Having done this very hunt myself, I take exception to the accusations put forward by @Sarg and @Rakman. Because: The fees are communicated up front via a pdf pricelist/brochure The price for the taxidermy work itself is reasonable The price for shipping out of Greenland is reasonable, given...

Easy enough: Find a plane from wherever you happen to be living, to Copenhagen (CPH) From Copenhagen (CPH) fly Air Greenland direct to Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) or via Nuuk (GOH) https://www.airgreenland.dk/ Do yourself a favor and set aside some days to see the places you happen to be passing through.

Less is more Ask what the guide and other people in the group will be carrying, and scale down your kit accordingly. The only exception would be a small first-aid kit, to be carried by each person at all times.

Leica Fortis Glossy: https://leica-camera.com/en-US/sport-optics/hunting/riflescopes/fortis-glossy

In my personal experience: If the stock fits me badly, any minor change in posture, cheek weld, hold etc. affects shot placement noticeable If the stock fits me well, there is little I can do to not hit the target - within reason ;-)

I hunted caribou this autum in the Kangerlussuaq area. You will find my trip report, along with a handful of others in the "Greenland Hunt" thread: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/greenland-hunt.84421/page-5#post-1513760

The Sauer 202 is the sort of rifle people buy and keep using as their primary hunting rifle until they cease hunting due to old age, at which point they pass it on to the next generation. The safety on the Sauer 202 is unusual, you make it unsafe/ready to fire, by pressing upward on a button...

That style of skull mounting was popular in several European countries until it fell out of fashion approximately a hundred years ago. it is quite common to see that style of mount on display in houses that has been in the same family for centuries. A web search for something like "old hunting...

How much does your current case weight? A sturdy case, with sturdy hinges and locks, wheels and plenty of high quality foam, will always have some mass to it. I use a Nanuk 985 for hunting trips that involves airtravel. The case has ample room for a disassembled rifle, scope, suppressor...

Every person I speak to, who have lived and worked inside what is now the National Park, have had amazing stories to tell. It is quite rare these days to get such an opportunity. I hope to visit East Greenland myself some day. The old huts in North-East Greenland dating from the commercial...

The Muskoxen in the Kangerlussuaq area are indeed not native to the area. They were introduced in the 1960'ties, with animals moved from Nort-East Greenland. In the Kangerlussuaq area the Caribou are of the species "Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus" which has been native to the area since...

I hunted with Erik Lomholt this Autumn, in the Kangerlussuaq area of Greenland. The hunt took place just west of the inland ice. The camp had a clear view of the Russell Glacier Erik has wast experience hunting, fishing and dog sledding in the area. His employees are dedicated and skilled in...

Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg come across as a nobleman, in the truest sense of the word. It is good to see that such people have not been hunted to extinction.

On a recent hunting trip, I brought only the phone. During the hunt I enjoyed the lighter load. After the trip, when looking at the mobile-phone pictures, I regret not bringing the good camera and lenses.

Behold: "The Leica Fortis Glossy"! Available in three models: 1-6x24I, 1.8-12x42I, 2-12x50I https://leica-camera.com/en-US/sport-optics/hunting/riflescopes/fortis-glossy

Franz-Albrecht Oettingen-Spielberg talks fondly of the elusive Zeiss 20x60 mechanically stabilized binoculars, for the purpose of deer management on his own land: 13:36 - 17:05 Zeiss 20x60 mechanically stabilized...

The reticle in the scope of my very first hunting rifle, started to come loose at some point during the first 100 shots I fired at the range. Since I was new to rifle shooting, I presumed that I was the problem, not the equipment. A number of frustrating trips to the shooting range...

I print "the long story" on labels stuck to the rear of the plates. Eventually I will fit tiny plates to the front of the plates, as shown by several posters above. There is a Southern/Central European tradition for mounting with upper jaw and teeth included and a Northern European tradition...

Trangia Wonderful to cook dinner on Light enough to bring along in the backpack Suitable for use by children Lasts a lifetime. When someone accidentally steps on it, so it come to resemble a piece of modern abstract art, you merely push it back into shape, then keep on cooking...

Once you have used a suppressor, you will want one on all rifles, in any circumstances, because of: Reduced recoil -> increased accuracy Reduced noise The drawbacks are a bit of extra length and one more item to find space for in the luggage. If you happen to live in a country where the...

This winter I handed in a bird to a local taxidermist He is an eminent taxidermist, his services are highly sought after. When I inquired about the likely delivery time, his response was: "when you have forgotten the bird, then I will call you"

One hobby for life If hunting is your one hobby for life, then it makes sense to buy the best possible quality. By focusing on one hobby you will gradually gain the experience needed to appreciate the finer points of truly outstanding optics. Zeiss has some strong offerings for such a person -...

that's a good one

Simson Suhl 35E Its older than myself. For those not familiar with German shotguns: that is a double barrel, double trigger, side by side, ejector, 12/70 shotgun, made the traditional way, in the DDR.

Not at all. I do the butchering, deboning, parting and packing strait away, if at all possible. The meat will be in the freezer within a couple hours after I pulled the trigger. In my experience "bad gamey taste" stems from: failure to trim off the fascia and gristle bad hygiene (ageing...

Your report is especially interesting for me, because I have booked a caribou hunt with Eric for October 2025 A few questions: Is it normal to get within 200 yards for a shot or were your group especially proficient or lucky? In videos the area look quite open, with few opportunities for...

All my own shotguns and rifles have wooden stocks, purely because I prefer them that way. I will not hold it against a hunter if he or she prefer a synthetic stock. They do have their advantages and the wooden stocks have their drawbacks. Also I will not rule out the possibility that I might...

I have been very happy with a Meopta R1 riflescope. Compared to what other people bring to the riflerange, the Meopta R1 presents a brighter, sharper image than most.

I have experimented with that approach. It is indeed very comfortable for long distances and makes for a surprisingly swift transition from carrying position to shooting position However I found that due to the length of a typical hunting rifle, the muzzle will be too close to the mud or snow...
