Bears have relatively thin hide and need a different bullet design than the thick skin of a large pig

I should have been more clear. I was backing your initial point.

Black Bears are dangerous if they get you down. Or get ahold of you. But they are also very easy to kill. They have very small ribs and bones are similar to a human of the same size. Black bears die easily. Large mature cerdos, keiler and sanglier have thick hides and don’t die as easily.

I’ve got a pair of elephant western style boots made in Texas. I never wear them. I always grab others instead

The long itinerary stinks. But Qatar and Emirates will do everything possible to ensure your rifle is on the plane with you.

The outfitter most likely didn’t want to take you elsewhere because either you would pay for the animal again. Or he would have to pay for the animal from the money he initially took from you.

That would be a classy way to display rifles or shotguns. Pull some from the safe and show them off for visitors. Or throw it up at the gun club. Also for a retail store.

On the Kerrville TX flash flood. After hearing the accounts of the Mystic camp counselors that were able to escape. It’s apparent to me that the counselors that were killed along with the younger children stayed too long trying to get everyone out before they could leave. Since we can’t...

I had one that was very accurate for a DR. Good luck.

I was prepared to use Northfork cup point solids from my .505 Gibbs on this tuskless hunt. But my PH preferred the CEB loads I also had with me and they had the same Poi. At approximately 17 yards I had a clear side brain shot, but there was a fair amount of brush and my PH whispered for me to...

how does it shoot? What bullet weight and design does it like?

Is that region prone to flash flooding ?

I worked for a hard ass Executive Officer early. We would organize, clean, inspect gear. He would ask if we were ready. Of course we would say “yes sir of course we are ready. He response every time was. “Do it again”. I learned many immensely important lessons Taught by the ocean...

What a grand animal they are

All ammo has sold. Thank you

Flash floods are no joke. It always hits harder when young children are taken. Those parents will never recoup.

It’s easy to agree with Red Leg. Since this is kind of his bailiwick. :cool: Just give the Ukrainians overwhelming firepower and missile defense. And then maybe threaten to unleash the Polish Army.

Have you tried recording ejection in slo motion from an iPhone to see if the casing is bouncing off the scope or turret ? Will a R8 cycle and eject empty brass to test it ?

Trump hints at NATO sending Patriot batteries and even troops into Ukraine. When asked about US troops. He said maybe, we will see. The Troops hint is most likely meant to brush Putin back off the plate. To slow the attacks on Ukraine

Depending on what type of vehicle you are carrying it on. A clamp mounted or magnetic mount scabbard is very handy.

^^^ Renfro or Papa Bear also out of Bethel. Jonah’s is a smaller outfit. https://www.jonahsalaskanoutfitters.com/

I am a big fan and love all the accomplishments Trump is racking up. He has made huge gains and is correcting disastrous policies of Biden/Onama. The Gaza and Russian aggression are the last of the big hurdles for his 1st 6 months. But ! When Trump continues to barf up easily refuted...

Give Hoyt Kirby a call. Give him your measurements and budget for a box lock and I’m sure he can put you into 100 year old British or Scottish box lock below your budget https://www.vintagedoubles.com/

When discussing the Medicaid cuts with friends and relatives this holiday. Remind the opposition that Biden allowed millions and millions of illegal aliens into the country. And when those illegal aliens go to an ER to have a baby. Gun shot wounds, drug OD, heart attacks. Guess what program...

Agreed AI is already working in that space. But the machines are still only regurgitating the historical data entered by humans. What I am concerned about is the next phase they will enter. In 5-10 yrs they will achieve ASI. Artificial Super Intelligence. More intelligent than any human has...

What will happen in the next decade when AI gets so good it is able to time the stock market. Every time. Will AI collapse the speculative part of investments? And the result is no gains? Will they need laws banning AI from the buying ?

Congrats !

I have four full boxes and one partial box of Steinel ammo. .312 174 grain Hornady interlock round nose soft points. Retail at $43. selling these for $30 per box. Also two full boxes and one partial PPU 180 grain soft point boat tails $20 each Shipping will be determined by the...

That’s a great price

^^^^ Just another “Conspiracy Theory” anyone with an independent thought already knew 8 years ago. A commoner would be in prison for less.

What’s old is new again. Tom touches on many timely subjects. But he was saying this 14 years ago

He is still alive. But is not in the store day to day. It’s still a great place to spend money.

It’s very frustrating to hear the pundits weeping about Medicaid cuts. and how many rural hospitals will all close. When asked about non-citizens and able body people dragging the system down. They don’t want them cut either. so as usual, let’s just bankrupt the system and run it into...

That’s why it’s called speculation. if it was guaranteed you would make zero money on it. But it’s looking more and more like 10 years from now Tesla will be a monster that you wish you invested in. and many will wish they dumped Apple

The latest “This is Africa” podcast has Buzz on. And Buzz recounts several hunts with .600 and .700 Nitro DR elephant hunts gone bad. Poor shooting missing or wounding elephant. He would prefer the client use a .375 h&h he can shoot well. He also admits to his own mistakes and mishaps with...

DLSJR, I’m sure you meant to write Tension pneumothorax. The point you’re making is the same though. People have also argued for decades that an arrow staying in the animal is better. The broad-head doing more damage with every movement. I have never agreed with that thought either. I...

No one saw personal home computers being so ubiquitous. Just like most of us can not picture a robot or 5 robots in every home within 20 years.

I think the pledge allows Tesla to use patents of those using theirs. Again the Tesla tentacles Will eventually be so woven in. It will be a term like Xerox used to describe every brand of copier. Robots will soon be in every house. Just like before the personal home computer revolution...

Tesla has only scratched the surface of the total potential value. Robotaxis, AI, and humanoid robotics, Tesla having its tentacles into other major companies technologies will eventually allow them to use anything that company innovates. For example Ford uses Tesla technology for free. The...

I sat on an interview panel interviewing a Harvard business degree holder. It was instantly obvious that this minority female thought the degree guaranteed the position. When we were scoring and ranking her. The degree was all she had. And was not selected.

These don’t come up for sale often

This sounds like a great small business opportunity. Make a better cap cover to replace the factory cover.

"It is not necessary to do this (wound game). Clients are more than capable of wounding them without me telling them to do so. If I offered one million dollars to a client to put his bullet into the shoulder of a buffalo I could go for many seasons and over a hundred buffalo before I would have...

For killing purposes only. An exit hole is always better than not. I can not think of a situation where an exit hole puts less blood on the ground than one hole. The exit is usually twice the diameter of entrance. If not using a solid.

I have no idea if all of the many YouTube videos are representative of all hunts. Or if for some reason a high percentage of filmed hunts seem to involve A LOT of lead being used on animals.

Happy you didn’t cancel. And the flight worked out for you.

That is a rare and beautiful rifle. However buys it Is a lucky man.

Wow Scott liberal Colorado actually has that ? I’m surprised that hasn’t gained more traction nation wide. In the 90s through the 2000s I was buying Colorado land next to National forests to hunt from. It was a great market and I would make enough off each sale to buy a larger piece each...
