The term "frozen red herring" comes to mind...

I understand and agree. I have quite a bit of undergraduate and graduate level statistics in my background so I get the statics of it all. But, that being said, "fool me twice, shame on me" is still an old saying...haha

See the photo below of the last Remington Core-lokt I shot...noticed the dented primer and the bullet still in the casing...luckily, I was carrying a double and still killed the animal... After this, I went on a mission to find a new bullet company. I tried a lot but ended up on Nosler. 'Been...

I've read this thread and must say that I understand the sentiment. But, at the same time, there is a difference between majestic and goofy...

I'll be 62 in June. I did a few ducks when I was younger but have given most of them away. I do mostly digital taxidermy but keep a few of my best deer antlers, a couple of Africa euro mounts, and warthog tusks on the top of a book shelf...it's my "trophy shelf"...btw the predator skull is a...

Euro mounts and digital taxidermy...

I always tell folks that Hemingway survived my trip to Africa...Capstick did not...

If you want another to consider, Bayly Sippel. They listened to what I wanted and absolutely checked every box I had for an African Safari. The PH they assigned was perfect. It was, honestly, like they had done a complete psychological work-up on me and perfectly matched me with everything...

Done.

@Rare Breed I considered that. The 2.3 had problems with the head warping but it was fixed several years ahead of the one I got. But, just to make sure, I bought a very long extended warranty - which I normally don't do.

No problem like that but I don't use Android Car Play (or whatever it's called) so I don't think the Google problem would arise. They did have to "wipe and reload" the software when I first got it but they did it during an oil change so I got it right back. Yeah, Ford is frustrating and I...

I've had nothing but Ford Explorers since 1995 and never had a bad one. I've put between 170k and 250k on them without a major out-of-warranty problem. At some point, Ford bought Range Rover, stole the 4-wheel technology, then sold Range Rover. Starting with the 2011 models, the "4WD"...

If you're in the US, warthog skulls or mounts require one additional level of import approval... You're right, warthogs are iconic...

No doubt for me, Mouflon.

History says the mosquito.

I'll trade them for two Ohio "settlers" now living in South Carolina...

I'm getting close to retirement so I've bought (and sold) a few guns lately working towards what I think of as an "efficient gun portfolio", ie a minimum number of guns that cover the maximum number of scenarios. I have at least one double gun in every gauge including 16 and 28 and a double...

The good Safari companies are experts in giving their clients the experience they want. Communicate your wishes without being a pain in the butt and you will have a great time almost guaranteed.

Your "leaders" are authoritarians who look absolutely orgasmic when standing at a podium talking about the next freedoms they're planning to take from you. Such "leaders" go for guns first because they know what they are planning next would likely get them shot.

I have zero problem with folks enjoying generational wealth. Yet, it is refreshing that someone privy to such wealth is inspired to make something of value to others. Good for FAOS...

It's got a scope on it too...and the ejectors seem complicated too. Best I can tell, the top three shells all work off of one ejector but there's a ejector cutoff switch on the for end if only one or two shells are shot.

Seems it's a O/SxS/U...

Done. I ask for a 100% successful surgery, that the outcome will be a blessing to your daughter, and the she will be a blessing to our Lord. Amen.

So, @BeeMaa what are the specifics on the TSS load you're using? I see them anywhere from 1 ounce to 2 1/2 ounces - from $8/shell to $15/shell. I've been looking for a TSS load to use when I'm chasing the next species on my list but just can't justify to myself the expense knowing that I'm...

I told dad when I was 14 that all I wanted to do was kill ducks. Now, 47 years later, I still wait too many thought cycles worrying about how to kill the next duck. In 2012, I decided that instead of "limit hunting", I'd start trying to kill new species hunting solo and in my home state of...

Eye for an eye is old testament...maybe he's Jewish....

Understood. Knowing that there are bad apples in every bunch, I nearly universally stand with all LEOs. My best friend is a cop, most people don't have a clue what these folks face on a daily basis.

Just the opposite, actually...Tennessee v. Garner, which was decided in March 1985, concluded that a police officer has a right to use deadly force against a fleeing suspect if they believe the individual poses a dangerous threat to officers and others.

Only "spending" bills pass our senate on a simple majority. Because of the filibuster, other bills require a supermajority (60 out of 100). What immigration law hasn't been in front of the supreme court?

@SaintPanzer, I swear I didn't copy you. I was writing mine when yours posted but I couldn't see it until after. We did, however, say the same thing. They say great minds think alike. Apparently, that's true for minds like ours too...haha

Those ICE agents are enforcing a set of federal laws. Those laws were written and passed a majority of the US House members made up of democrats and republicans where each member was voted for by their constituents. It was passed by a plurality of the US Senate, also voted for by each state's...

I was going to say the same thing about South Carolina. From late September until the first of December our highways are littered with deer carcasses. The only reason SC even has a tag program is to manage OOS hunters in our very long gun season. Good shots with bows or rifles kills deer...

I would never derail a "for sale" thread but since the gun is sold...I still take my Sweet 16 out on dates...

They just announced a digital format.

It's not your government doing this to you. It's your fellow citizens.

Oh, I didn't mention the caliber but mine's a .30-'06, that's why I only needed the one rifle...haha

The pedestal is phenomenal.

I killed a zebra and bang-flopped a wildebeest with one shot of 180 grain Accubonds. I did, at the request of the PH, put a ground shot in the wildebeest once we walked up to him. Here's the zebra footage from a go-pro stuck in my front pocket.

Good questions with long answers. So, 1" at 100 yards, yes but. Here's the "yes" part...actually about 1/2" apart at 100 yards. The PH and tracker were hooting and hollering when I laid those two shots in. You can see by his note, a client that is familiar with his rifle and can shoot...

I'm a shotgunner with a fascination for doubles that deer hunts. I won't bore anyone (pun intended) with the full story but, while I've killed whitetail my whole life, the first first in 1977, I never considered myself an actual deer hunter until 2017 then lost a nice buck in 2019. The buck...

I've lived in SC basically for my whole life. I've seen our waters go from having very few alligators, to being over run with unhunted alligators, to the opening of permit-only public alligator hunting allowed. Back when alligators were protected, they showed no fear of man. They would...

I've missed two deer clean in the past 15 yeards. I almost never shoot more 100 yards and both of these were inside that...I missed them both from the same stand...I won't go through all the mental gymnastics but it turns our that particular stand's front shooting rail is about 6" further out...

Liberals will never stop. They don't want your guns so much as it's your guns that get in their way of controlling you... Authoritarians (ie, liberals in charge) won't stop until every man is disarmed, until every woman is a lesbian, and until every kid is on some form of drug that makes them...

My standard joke is that my litmus test for a good duck season is whether I ended the season with the same wife and the same job as I started the season. Y'all will be happy to know that I'm still married to my high school sweetheart (we graduated in 1982). I have, however, been summarily...

I hate to say it but I agree and have had the same experience but it's usually the small shops with one guy doing everything. Taxidermy experiences are usually a "1" or a "5" on the 1-5 scale with little in the middle.

Thank you. I saw him at about 140 yards but it was in a narrow gap. By the time I switched from the binoculars to the gun, he had stepped into a patch of woods we call "The Thicket". (The woods on the left in the video) Of course, things change and the thicket really isn't that thick anymore...

Green net 134 6/8" (I think) was 136 5/8" gross but almost no deductions because of symmetry. It was a 50 yard shot...

I carry a knife all the time. I need a knife less than all the time.
