    Jacob You live in one of the best states in the country for trying to help you with hunter safety and general outdoorsmanship. Why would you wait to start something your making such big plans over? Moose, bear, whitetail, grouse, duck, turkey, smallgame and big game is abundant where you are...

    All profits of overseas businesses while in office being donated to Fed. Donating salary to Fed can anyone tell me any other politician who has done that before? No matter what he does half the people will overlook the good to point out the bad. Republicans should be used to that just like...

    US tannery?

    Not sure the two taxidermists I have used here both sent everything to PA. I sent my Africa game to Dennis at Artistry of Wildlife I would ask him who to use.

    Buying a game farm

    Why don't you just find a nice apartment in one of the coastal cities where you can comfortably live and you can utilize quick trips like the local hunters. The places you like to go can call you when someone drops out or they just having something great knowing you are already there and can...

    Noobs

    Check out Kiraboo they have great blinds and you can spot and stalk outside Thambazimbi SA Jaco was a great bow hunting PH and Bossie who hunted with my buddie was one of a kind. Very good prices on set number of animals but you can switch animals if you see something. Consider it like this...

    Snakebites - Who Gets Bitten & Who Dies?

    The folks in America who are paying taxes are happy. The 50% who are not paying any taxes or who pay only taxes on their stocks are very very unhappy. This was a Redneck rising and as a businessman he has brought in professionals from the real world to be in the cabinet not just political...

    Is Hunting Moral? A Philosopher Unpacks The Question

    If you study human genes we have not appreciably changed for 40,000 years genetically. 40k years ago there was only hunting and gathering no farms or animal husbandry(that started around 12k years ago). So all genetic evolving up to the 40k year ago mark was fine tuning selection of genes that...

    2016 Montana fly fishing

    One of my rugby buddies lives in Missoula and we fished with a guy originally from NH. He lived in a teepee set up wherever the best hatch is on. Visitors bring food and Pabst Blue Ribbon! Now that is retirement.

    Killing your dream animal?

    I bet you have a whole bunch of dreams that you had no idea until you see them live! I was bow hunting so I got to really see how many of the animals acted and you notice an animal hierarchy that you never thought about. Live it up and keep adding dreams.

    AfricaHunting.com Under Attack

    Interesting the countries that make demand for Tusks and rhino horns. This site is a direct pressure on that illegal industry and they have what Lennin would call the "useful idiots"to do the dirtywork of sending threats and misinformation. Sounds like our college campuses or should I call...

    The real world

    This is why we have to get kids educated in true conservation. When you mention conserving nature to a 20-40 they think that's donating to WWF. Hunting and fishing! It sounds like many on this site are what you might say are mature(ok old guys!) You have time to figure out what broadhead...

    Are You This Hunter?

    I think if you leave Africa and start checking on how to become a PH in Africa, you might pass the first test. I agree to who said if you are on this site and are constantly trying to learn more about what to expect in the field is typical of good hunting practices. As for kids shooting lions...

    Using a Rage Hypodermic

    I used Rage extreme and blew thru everything Wildebeest, kudu, gemsbuck, nhayla, impala, warthogs if you feel comfortable with the shot placement with them use them. Took Muzzys for backup just in case but I was pretty happy we killedalot and didn't have any misses or lost animals. Your set up...

    Another Airline Announces Decision to Discontinue the Shipment of Hunting Trophies

    I feel the South African government should be the ones with the biggest fight in their bellies for the hunters since the country (and others) gain so much from the hunting dollars. They have the ability to pressure the airlines who want to use their airports more than a few organized hunters...

    Animals That Surprised You

    When you are in bow blind you see the animal hierarchy like Big waterbuck chases out kudu, zebra bite and kick, sable trumps most and Cape Buffalo trumps everything else we saw in cleaning out a blind. A jackel came to a waterhole that was full of wildebeest and eland and hogs and they took off...

    Need advice

    If you have the fishing bug and like to fly fish we took a cab from Joburg Marriott to a place near Cradle of civilization and a Lion park. It was just some small ponds with streams running between and they were full of some big trout. Much like an English trout pond. Fun way to unwind from...

    Packing out meat

    You can get Army bags (A-bag) we traveled with cheap from any Army Navy store. They are strong and have the ability to close and open easily, they have attached backpack straps and any veteran can tell you how much you can fit and carry. great to fill and hang to keep from bear and coyote.
