Nice antelope! While I am impressed with the 6mm BR, I think it is too powerful for coyotes, foxes, or bobcat. I guess I am interested in the Texas version of the .375 H&H: something that is not too powerful for small game like coyote, fox, beaver, bobcat, turkey, and javelina but adequate for...

I was wondering how many of you guys shoot the little 6mms built on .222/.223 actions like the 6x45, 6x41(SPC), 6mmBR, or the 6mm/204 Ruger? Which one is better? Or better yet, which ones do you guys like and why?

Hello, Sikander! I personally am a new hunter and I am very interested in your lion hunt. Could you tell me about it?

Men, I am doing fine. Things are turning around for me and my leukemia has been cured. I just have another set back that came as a result of this disease: pain-pill addiction. I'm going to go into rehab for this. Hopefully, I will be able to go to college in the fall. I am planning to go to...

That was a great story, Bluey. Hopefully one day I'll be able to join ya!

Something tells me that this song is not about fishing, but I'm not sure what it's about. :p

Rabbit? That is interesting. I would have thought that it tasted like a rich dark meat.

Firehuntfish, you do have a good point. I didn't know that lion meat went to food banks. I will have to try it.

Well, Bluey, your Australian girls sound like our girls down here in Texas. Most of the girls in the South and the West are great girls, lovely to look at and wonderful to be around. I will say that most girls do look for a guy that will take care of them and love them. I thought that girls...

No Bluey I was not at all offended. I laughed and appreciated it. I do have a sense of humor that tends to get me in trouble, if that is any indication of the type of guy I am. But I find Australian women to be absolute beauties and that accent! AAHH!! Would love to take one back to Texas with...

Bluey, I am a horny little mate but I am a Catholic. God matters to me as does love. I know a sweet, kind lady who lives in Perth with an absolutely gorgeous daughter. Absolutely beautiful. I love women even though they drive me crazy and one of these days I plan on marrying a beautiful little...

In Victoria, eh? I'll respond on the other thread.

Hey, I would love to eat warthog!! They are clean I heard. Just a bit iffy on the wild boars and feral piggies.

I would love to come to Australia.... for the ladies. The women are killer.

Yeah, Bluey, I understand why they don't. It grosses them out. As for me.... I eat anything. Hah! I can't wait to start my hunting life. Deer, hogs, bear, nilgai, turkey, goose, teal, sandhill crane and one of these days Africa and Alaska! The Dark Continent and the Last Frontier. The honors of...

Haha, Bluey, funny story! Shakari, I have heard about that. I think either Hemingway or Roosevelt had a recipe for chicken fried lion steak. It is similar in my mind to eating wild boar and bear because of all the crap the former eats and how both have worms in some or many cases. My parents...

Have any of you Africa hunters ever eat a lion, leopard, or cougar? Was it weird? Did it taste good?

I guess you're right Classicsafari. After all, what farmers think and what hunters think are not the same thing. I see wolves, pigs, mountain lion as game, while the ranchers and farmers see them as varmints. I guess even lions and leopards are considered vermin even though they are the greatest...

I can't believe that you have to pay for hyena and baboon though. Those things are varmints and shouldn't animals that are varmints be free atleast?

Haha, no problem, sir! But how do you get access to this private land? Do you own the land yourself?

Yes, Code4, I saw that before on that other thread and I enjoy your tales of Camel hunting. I do love the thought of having a short-action .35 Whelen which the .350 Rem Mag basically is. But the .35 Whelen is easier to come by and even if they stop making it, I can always use .30-06 cases when I...

No, 35bore. Won't be months before I do and I now wondering between the 35 Whelen and the 9.3X62. My father says that my health has to improve before we get our guns. I might take up our fellow members on their offers to come over and try their guns first. Thank you Brian for the warm welcome...

Thank you, 35bore.

Definitely, Bluey. I really want to try it as well. I want to fill up my freezer with six of those things by this winter. I hope I can do it. I'll have to borrow a friends shotgun and practice. I would like a .410 hammer double and a 12 gauge hammer double. I just like hammer guns. That's why I...

Bluey, these sandhill cranes are pretty big.... they are like 5' tall. And they can be vicious to the dogs that are supposed to retrieve them. No rifle hunting for these buggers though. We can use rifles for turkey here and I plan on using my big ol' rifle in whatever caliber for them. Some...

Buff-Buster, thanks for the advice and the offer. I might take you up on it. Could you send me an email at svarragan@gmail.com so we can work it out? BWH, I would like to test out guns before I buy! Just email me at the same address and I'll see if you're nearby my house. Thanks for the well...

I like the 9.3x62. I am just starting out though and don't have a bunch of money so I want to get a gun that will be an "all-rounder". Something that will hit both the smallish Texas whitetails, stop hog charges, and take down nilgai. So for my first gun, I am thinking of the traditional...

Thanks! Wow, Buff-Buster. I actually am living right IN Houston near the Medical Center. I actually live in North Texas but because of my illness I live in Houston. "With the knowledge you are already exibiting, you are already on the road to not only being a hunter but a "gun nut" too!"...

Brickburn, back in the days of Captain Cook and those early explorers, there were these cattle that were given as a gift to the Hawaiian King. They soon went wild and feral and are similar to the scrub bulls of Texas and Australia. The Hawaiians call them "Vancouver Bulls" because they were...

Enysse, why would you choose the .35 whelen over the .350 Rem Mag? I like both rifles and would jump at the chance to own either of them.

Thank you, Brickburn! Well, I guess I am hahah. If .30 is good, then .338 must be better, and .358 must be best!! Ahah, I just love the thought of having a short action .35 whelen in my hands. Also, all-around cartridges basically start at .35 cal from what I've been told. So, I am curious. I...

Hahah, I suppose someone will come by. I really need some men with experience to take me under the wing and show me the ropes. I can't believe I forgot about your deer population. You guys have six introduced species that are huntable, fallow, red, sika, rusa, sambar, and axis. Must be fun...

Thanks for the welcome, Jerome! Well, Bluey, the pigs are a huge problem in Texas. I'll have a lot of animals I wish to take in Texas: deer, hogs, nilgai, javelina, turkey, goose, teal, and sandhill crane. I'm especially stoked about the first two and the last one. The reason I decided to...

Haha, thanks, sir. I wish to learn as much as I can. What do you think of my caliber choice? I am 5' 7"-5-8" and a bit underweight as I am dealing with an illness but my father says that when I get better we'll buy guns and start hunting together. I showed him this wonderful vid: and he...

Hey, this is Svar. I am 20 years old and thinking about getting into hunting. I want to get a .350 rem mag as my first rifle.
