Welcome. Our visit to Limpopo in '12 is a lifetime memory; wonderful place. My 1st big-game hunt at age 53 with 11yr old son along.

The deer near the Eastern Nebraska Gun Club range used to be h-y-uge and very numerous. Whoever farmed the land just West of the gypsum mines there was also raising a lot of venison. That'd be about as far North as I'd call "S.E. NE"; but can't be much more than an hour or so from you.

May not have been paranormal but looked it if you were there: Long about 1973, our church hosted a Christian music group on a nation-wide tour for two(?) performances over a weekend. One of the band had quite the testimony: he'd been way at the other end of the spectrum only a couple of...

Welcome. Congratulations. Hunting in Africa was an awesome experience. advice ... hmmm: - be prepared for nonsense from the airline My airline, non-native English speakers, did not understand "... ammunition packed separately ..." made me take the ammo out of the secure-ish rifle case and...

Myself very skeptical of Remington's Walker trigger-group safety failure reports. ~2ys after my African safari, the Rem. 700 rifle from that hunt was recalled ... rather than be without it for Remington to repair, I just replaced the trigger with a Timney. In '18(?) I bought a Rem. 600...

When killing these giant, mutated rats I'm doing a public service.

The native-Texan president of a pro-2A organization called me after seeing I'd made plans to attend the annual meeting at a hotel / convention hall in Texas: Pres.: Could you teach a pistol class during the convention? Me: Oh! How far is it between the hotel and the range? Pres.: We're...

Welcome ... ... from a Nebraskan of 24yrs myself.

A Russian Mosin-Nagant '91/30. My M-N m44 is a great little rifle: light, hard-hitting ( by .30 standards ), handy, accurate. Before qualifying and receiving my M1 Garand, the M-N m44 was my [ As Issued ] Service Rifle Match equipment. Still took it along as a back-up; sometimes lending it...

This cancellation was to duck a very angry membership*: 10s of thousands of angry members ... of the National Rifle Association. If I'd made 10s of thousands of NRA members angry, I might cancel my meeting with them ... all in the same room ... too. But I always try to avoid angering 10s of...

FONRA For 22yrs I've attended Friends Of the NRA (FONRA) banquets. Attending in order to support youth shooting programs. For several ( 10? ) years, I volunteered to set up for the banquets; attend; tear down after. The live auction during a banquet in 2011 had one lot that was not being bid...

No watch watch when I'm hunting,

Also from Nebraska ... at least, from age 17 - 42 I lived in the Omaha area. A hunt in the R.S.A., '12/08 was my 1st big game hunt. Would like to get back to hunt white-tail in Nebraska ... they were huge compared to those I've seen elsewhere.

That is some beautiful rifle ... amazing figure on the stock. Perfect shot.

Looking through the photos and watching the video of this hunt, that's clearly very near where Marco led me to a vlakvark. The hills are unmistakable. It makes me wonder if the Cape Buffalo bull taken in this hunt was one of the three that ran us out of a meadow 6yrs before.

Sure! 1st big game hunt was with my, then 11yr- old son, '12 in Limpopo Province, R.S.A. Took: - gemsbok Not on my list; Unplanned target of opportunity. Passed him by once. Came back to take a photo. Came back again to harvest. - wildebees Was on my plan; expected to be displaced by the...

Just became aware of this site this morning. Looking for any continued references to Mel du Plessis, namesake of PHASA award, came across a mention of Marco du Plessis here. Joined to chime in on that thread. Might be able to contribute something now and then. Certainly I expect to learn...

Marco du Plessis took me stalking to complete a safari in '12. Along the route to the game-trail he had in mind for vlakvarki, we attracted the notice of three young, wary and suspicious cape buffalo bulls. They squared up on us and started trotting our direction. Me with a only a .30 cal...
