Near a small town called Bagdad believe it or not.

We didn't have a scale so, to be honest, I am not sure. He scored 209 7/8.

Only started getting trailcam pics of him this year. The weird thing is all his trailcam pics were daylight pics. No night pics.

209.875 Inch

209 7/8"

I will say when I took him to the taxidermist today, quite the crowd gathered around. Employees and patrons alike wanted to see it and put their hands on him.

An out of state trip to Kentucky to hunt my old Army buddies place, led to me dropping a 209 7/8" buck.

Only interested in hearing from long time members with lots of posts!

Looking to pick up a full mount South African Honey Badger. Let me know if you have one for sale. Only interested in replies from long time members with lots of "non-selling" posts.

I shot my Silver SCI Blue Wildebeest from 148 yards away. As soon as I pulled the trigger, he dropped in his tracks. However my PH said I had hit him and high and spined him. Sure enough he started thrashing about, trying to get up. We closed to about 120. I fired a 2nd shot. This time the shot...

Took mine with my PH's .308

I will take it!

I had a PH tell me to shoot the wrong Golden Wildebeest. We came upon a herd of 8-10 bulls. One was remarkably bigger than the others. They all went behind a copse of trees. Every once in awhile 1 or 2 would venture out from the tree, go back in, etc. Eventually one stepped out and my PH said...

I sat for 3 1/2 hours and it was $500

I just got it yesterday, so the redness will go away with time. I will do a 2nd sitting where they will put some background in (a Mopani tree, a spear, and the continent of Africa). The first sitting was just the animal. I think it turned out really good.

Well.., you added the key part. He applied for and was granted an importer license. My original point still stands correct- a C&R license does not allow you to import. An importer’s license does. So your question is better asked to someone that has an importers license and not a C&R license.

I am a C&R license holder. Curio and Relic license holders are NOT allowed to directly import weapons into the United States. You would need to comply with ATF guidelines and have a licensed importer import the weapon. Then, once it is in the United States, you may acquire it.

That's how I learned to shoot with my M16 in the Army. Great idea. That's what I am gonna do. Thanx!

My hope is to make this a deer rifle but I do not want to drill any new holes in it for a scope. I'm hoping to find some kind of side mount for a scope using the existing holes (?)

I will take it!!!

I really wanted a Honey Badger when I went. Sat for 3 for 3 nights over a nasty decaying bait pile. Never saw one. Had Bush Pigs and Civet Cats come in - but no Honey Badger. Congrats.

Congrats! I love it all! Except that Sable...

Does Rand have any brick and mortar stores? I live in Maryland. I know I can order one online but I would like to try on different styles to see what looks good.

I am right handed and left eye dominant as well. If you use a scope, that totally takes eye dominance out of play. I shoot all my scoped rifles right handed using my right eye. My unscoped shotguns are a different story entirely...

I haven't used them on animals I've shot. I have used them on animals I didn't shoot. Giraffes, hippos, anything I want to get a good look at. Plus we went to a Park (Pilannesburg) and I used them all day there.

My PH told me the same about my Red Hartebeest. A Red Hartebeest was not on my list. When we saw it, my PH told me that if I didn't shoot it, he was going to shoot it and have it done up for the lodge. I decided to take it. It measured out as an SCI Gold and a Rowland Ward- so I don't think they...

While on Safari in South Africa I stopped by Lion Hearted Blade Works. I had them make the handle out of a cull Golden Wildebeest I took and the sheath is made of Red Hartebeest. Absolutely gorgeous knife.

Enjoying a Cigar and some Blanton's post hunt. The "Haul"

I'll take more inexpensive hunts. Each trip is a journey and a different experience. I would rather see the Dark Continent more than once and have as many experiences as I can.

I'm going with La Pampa

I am going to Argentina in March of '26 for a Red Stag and a blackbuck.

June 2024 - in the Limpopo. My PH and I were hunting for a Golden Wildebeest. We came across a herd of probably 8-10 bulls. They were all milling about interweaving with each other and occasionally going behind a copse of trees. There was one magnificent bull. That bull, and a couple others...

First off - that Gemsbok is AWESOME. Secondly - I would have been mad about the cow wildebeest. Thirdly - I think after day 2 I would have been telling my outfitter I wanted a different PH. I am retired ICE. When I went to Africa last June, I knew I would most likely not be able to return. If I...

I used a .308 suppressed on all my Plains Game hunts. I like the suppressor as it really allows me to hear the thud of the shot hit so I have confirmation that the animal was hit.

Great read! Good job!!

I opened this up hoping it was the Lew Horton Curly Maple Stock. I've wanted one of those for years.

I have several friends (about 5) that all went to South Africa and used the same outfitter (Van Wjke Safaris). Solely based on their recommendation, I went with them. And... I am not sorry I did. Trophy animals, amazing lodge, delicious food, and even better human beings. Truly can't think of...

I have had these books for three days and I have already finished one (Round the Campfire). I have chosen an African Affair as my next one. Thoroughly enjoying these beautiful books.
