I've taken Whitetail, Mule deer, Axis, Hogs, Javelina, Blackbuck, various feral and exotic...

    Skull prep

    I use a "Buck Boiler" with some Dawn dish soap for all my euro/skulls. It doesn't make the bone brittle like standard over boiling can do.

    LVPO question for a DG rifle

    Trijicon Accupoint 1x6 with the green dot. I've got that LVPO on my Winchester 375 H&H and 458WM both and have taken two cape buffalo and numerous bears with this setup. I use Trijicon products daily and bet my life on them, they're bomb proof.

    Winchester Pre-64 Model 70 Supergrade African 458 (1956)

    As unfortunate as it is, I'd be hard pressed to even bid on this, even if it sold for a $1000. Too many issues........

    Opinions on 1” Quick Detach Picatinny Rings

    Please don’t use anything Leapers for a DG weapon. I prefer Warren but Talley is also excellent. A couple of ounces is worth it for quality.

    American Hunter Killed in Uganda

    I have never seen an individual more contrary and uppity than @Ontario Hunter. He is the self-proclaimed expert on anything he pontificates and is the smartest man in the room anywhere he goes. It must be a burden to be that all knowing......but who are we to question his vast knowledge as we...

    Scope or red dot as primary for Buffalo in Eastern Cape terrain

    A good quality LVPO scope is the ticket. I run a Trijicon Accupoint 1x6 on my Winchester 70 in 375 H&H and 458WM both. Keep it on 1 for close shots and crank it up to 6 for distance. On my double I run a Trijicon RMR.

    Barnes TSX vs Swift A-Frame on Buffalo

    Having used both on Buffalo , I prefer the Barnes TSX 300gn. My rifle likes them better but I wouldn’t be afraid to use the A-Frame any day.

    Wild Pigs Kill More People Than Sharks

    I've got a pretty good scar on my calf just above my boots that a boar gave me and I've been bit by a couple of sows also. All were the product of dispatching said pigs after my hog dogs had caught them. Point being, a pig can and will hurt you if you get carless around them or if they're...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Return From SA

    I’ve been back for a couple of weeks from my latest trip to SA, but work commitments have prevented me from doing a proper report. I will rectify that in the coming days but just wanted to share a few pictures from north Limpopo.

    Outbound 7/30

    Well, I'm outbound back to South Africa tomorrow for a few weeks. I'll be taking four experienced hunters, but first timers to Africa with me. At this point in my life, I get more of a kick out of introducing folks to places they've never been or new hunters in general. PG and a couple of crocs...
