Your hunt report is most educational Thank you

What are they eating in that area? Does supplementary feeding play a role?

Is there any "point/caliber" (to use the phrase from the thread title) where a steel butt plate is superior to a recoil pad, from a functional point of view? Retaining a steel butt plate for the sake of maintaining the originality of an older firearm is a laudable goal. But from a purely...

I agree with most of what you wrote, but I disagree on this point. My "Ignore List" contains 20 profiles, all were added due to bad behavior in the "politics thread". 10 of those 20 have more than 5000 posts, only 1 of them have less than 1000 posts. In the hunting related threads, I see a...

For deer sized species, I prefer to hang the animal from a tree and remove the backstraps, hindquarters and frontquarters from the outside and place them into plastic bags strait away. Afterwards I open the animal, in order to: Inspect for signs of disease See the effect of the bullet Remove...

Thank you for a most entertaining and educational hunting report. Your interest in the local people and their affairs does you credit. It sounds like a first class hunting outfitter.

WOW That explains how it managed to penetrate the skull - a lot of force during a fight.

That looks like a branch from a tree or shrub. Amazing that it can penetrate the skull in that area Is the branch too decomposed to deduce the type of tree or scrub? I suppose the wound resulted in an instant kill, ie. no signs of heeling?

What are your requirements? Messaging: Distress signalling Daily "I am well, my position is 12.34 N 56.78 E" messages sent to a small number of friends & family Send & receive a few short text messages per day The occasional phonecall Plenty of emails and phonecalls per day ie. "bring the...

For gralloching and quartering done in the field: the Havalon blades are popular for a good reason Caström Mini Hunter at 65 mm / 2 ⁹⁄₁₆" For working on a carcass that is hanging from the ceiling and for butchering done at a table: flexible boning knives with a blade length of 125-150 mm /...

Were you brave enough to turn yourself in to the police so you could explain your actions to a judge? Or did you run away from the consequences of your actions, only to brag about it online?

The trend is to avoid "factory irons" on threaded barrels, in order to be able to use "telescopic suppressors" ie. the type where half the suppressor slides over the barrel. You get the benefits of a suppressor without the weapon becoming overly long and unwieldy. Your budget will only cover...

Come on....... The blue areas on that map have been selectively handpicked to include large low population density regions and omit high density areas. It is a deliberate attempt to mislead the geographically gullible. Rusland: Omits just about all the cities, includes the Siberian wilderness...

I fully agree. Do not deface a fine rifle, by botching a mismatched scope mount onto it. Instead obtain the type of scope mounts, that the rifle was designed for. A good place to start, would be Recknagel company website: https://www.recknagel.de/en/produktkategorien especially their...

Musk Oxen in the Kangerlussuaq area of Greenland. They were transplanted from Northeastern Greenland in the 1960'ties. Their natural habitat on Greenland is in the North and Northeast, where few people have access.

I bought the Nanuk branded locks from Nanuk alongside a riflecase and an ammunition case. When used on the Nanuk cases, the locks sit nicely protected without protruding. That is a benefit compared to most other types of padlocks. https://nanuk.com/products/tsa-approved-case-lock My Nanuk...

Roe deer venison taste markedly different from the cows/pigs/poultry most people are accustomed to eating. People who tend to frown upon an unfamiliar taste, are likely to do so when served roe deer. It is very special to be able to serve fresh Roe Buck venison from mid May until mid July, ie...

I am happy with my Zeiss Victory RF binoculars: https://www.zeiss.com/photonics-and-optics/us/hunting/products/binoculars/victory-rf.html

That is a very broad topic. There are plenty of regional and local variations. No two hunts are the same. If you receive an invitation from the Royal Family, to one of the official hunts, this is what you have to live up to:

I have no inside information or rumours to share. But I did notice two things: The main Meopta website now only mention two business areas: "Industrial & OEM" and "Military Applications" https://www.meopta.com/en/ The https://www.meoptasportsoptics.eu/index.html website has been reduced to a...

The Lings Hunting Greenland website works fine for me today, the same goes for Erik Lomholts company website Trophy Hunting Greenland. Do tip. Not tipping would be seen as a sign of severe dissatisfaction. The amount is up to you. When I hunted Greenland last year with Erik Lomholt, I tipped...

The US seems to be deficient in outdoor aircon: Happy green fourth of July :ROFLMAO:

Getting to know the country and its people is the ideal motivation for traveling. Your Elephant hunt served as the means to become acquainted with the locals by the age old approach of feeding and employing them. You have accomplished much more than the hunt itself, the impressive elephant...

My "Ignore List" has 19 entries by now. All of the entries are due to the "Politics thread" 10 out of those 19 have more than "5000 Messages", only 1 have less than 1000. This indicates a correlation between "too much free time" and "bad online behavior".

Thank you for a most enjoyable hunt report. You choose to hunt a fascinating and challenging part of Africa, despite knowing in advance that returning with a fine trophy was far from given. Your hunting spirit commands respect. The best hunting memories does not result from the finest...

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.
