    My guess is this is for "dudes" who plan on having other "dudes" with their face in very close proximity. :A Ill:

    FEMALE Specific hunting clothes and other gear

    Thanks. Just picked up a raincoat for my daughter. I would've got one from Badlands but they don't carry it in women's sizes.

    Rocky Ridge Game Farm

    https://rockyridgegamefarm.com/bow-hunting/ I think I saw that a price list in dollars was available upon request. Based on conversion calculations, looks to be a good price unless you go shooting their heartebeasts.

    Tipping Guide

    I'm headed to SAfrica in a couple weeks and am going to meet up with a PH for a couple days of hunting while I'm there. The lodge he's associated with has a nightly rate and he also charges a daily rate. The daily rate makes me less feel less motivated to tip him. Am I wrong to feel that way?

    What knife are you carrying everyday right now?

    With my ADD, I stick to folding utility knives. I've donated way too many real knives to people wishing they could be lucky enough to find something cool in the woods. I have a couple real knives I leave in my hunting pack so they'll last at least a few years.

    Question for the European Pig Hunters

    Interesting! So if that's the case, how many chromosomes are you likely to see in hybrids? Is the difference in the number of chromosomes something that has evolved over the centuries or is it from selective breeding? Do you think domestics and wild boars should actually be considered different...

    Question for the European Pig Hunters

    Do you think there is really a difference genetically in wild pigs and domestic pigs? Everything I've read until now says no but I just came across this article where the Japanese are claiming differently. https://phys.org/news/2026-02-fukushima-pig-boar-hybrids-reveal.html Part of me is...

    What State Has the Wariest Whitetails

    Public hunting is a challenge. Public hunting in TX is for people who like dropping their odds even lower. Of course that varies depending on the WMA/NWR etc. But it's usually hard to find higher hunting pressure.

    What is the single best piece of gear you would recommend every hunter have?

    Meat processing equipment. Having an electric grinder, sausage stuffer, vacuum sealer, etc. Makes every animal a trophy!

    The One Piece of Gear You Didn’t Know You’d Need in Africa

    An iPad. My PH had an iPhone and if not for the iPad I took (my phone's an android), I wouldn't have all the pictures he air dropped me. I just wished he'd used it to video instead of his little video camera. I never got copies of those videos. :E Crying:

    All these emojis and they don't have the one that says "This thread is useless without pics!" Thanks to the person who did post 'em. For the rest, your recommendations fall a little flat when unwilling to share images.

    Finally getting a shot at an elephant with a bow!!

    So, since it's not exportable, does that mean you can't even take a little skin with you? I've seen an arm guard made from elephant scrotum that looks awesome.

    Fly home Croc as baggage?

    Do it! Everything I've read says you can do it if it's already been taxidermied. Declare it stateside. :D Cheers:

    But how does it taste?

    This is what I'm always telling people about javelina. Ed Z, any chance you'd be willing to share your brother's recipe? I do like a good stuffed back strap. My current favorite is boudin stuffed back strap.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris - Free State - August 2024

    I was the short guy who accidentally shot a warthog in the forehead. She turned at the last minute. :P Robin Hood: I was probably the first Hispanic American they had. It was funny. An African lady at the airport asked my buddy's wife, "Is he a Mexican? I've only seen one in the movies." I...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris - Free State - August 2024

    Were you in Limpopo? We were probably in camp with you. My buddy was just contacted that his is ready. Hasn't heard from Eagle Eye yet. He's trying to decide which importer to use. I think mine would have been done by now since it's all skulls and skins but no, I had to request they make leather...

    Not to Not to hijack the thread but I've gotta wonder what the black dude thought about the fact that none of the black staff eat with the clients. Not trying to bash SA.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Kuche Safaris - Free State - August 2024

    c As others have stated already, hunting with Kuche you may very well have a great experience. You may get great opportunities at Wiley animals. You may have The Hunt of a lifetime. But good communication is the one thing that you should know without a doubt you will have to go without.

    Buffalo trophy lost in Africa-would you do this..........

    Is there an insurance you can buy that will cover lost trophies? I know there’s one that covers trophies that are in your possession before purchasing the insurance but it would be nice to get a check to go shoot another.
