    Some knives I made lately

    Absolutely beautiful knives and if my math on the conversion rates are right, the prices are stellar too! You have a true talent my friend.

    M98 Mauser, best bolt action there is..

    Eh, a CZ 550 will perform as good or better than any of those rifles, and it will still leave you with enough money to pay for extra trophy fees. :D :A Outta:

    Toto's "Africa"

    From the band's website: "... a white boy is trying to write a song on Africa, but since he's never been there, he can only tell what he's seen on TV or remembers in the past." "At the beginning of the '80s I watched a late night documentary on TV about all the terrible death and...

    I'm going to just pretend the troll didn't post, he will be gone soon. With that out of the way, I never understood how people can go and be a part of nature, and lose so much reverence for it. Given the alcohol choices shown in the picture my bet would be on early 20-somethings being...

    Winchester Model 70

    It's no CZ 550 :A Outta: Just kidding! That's a really nice find. Congratulations on the new rifle, looks like it's in great condition. You will have to post some targets and some of the animals you take with it.

    Ruger precision rifle

    The .300 WM is definitely overkill for deer, I just wanted one rifle for all of North America. Kick is somewhat objective. I'm a bigger guy and not very recoil sensitive, but a .300 WM is going to kick like a mule without a muzzle break. The issue with putting a muzzle break on however, is...

    Ruger precision rifle

    I just bought a stainless TC Venture in .300 WM and threw a 3-9x40 Nikon Prostaff on it. Whole thing ran me just a little under $700. I watched Jim Shockey and Corey Knowlton drop all sorts of game at distance with this gun on the first season of Uncharted. If I have time I will post some...

    Ruger precision rifle

    Just sold a used Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor for around $980 from the shop I do marketing for. I think we are going to be getting a few more in. They shouldn't run more than about $1,100-1,200 honestly. They are insanely accurate guns throw a scope on one and it's ready to rock. The...

    Rough it while you hunt it!

    Personally, when I go to Africa I don't want my experience to be hunting during the day just to return to a lodge each night, or to sit in a climate controlled blind all day. I want to be out in the country, in nature, and earn my animal. The adventure is a big part of what hunting is for me.

    A Little Truth: Africa Lion

    So the whole thing about the collar being destroyed was a lie? I don't even know what is right or wrong about this story anymore.

    Nice shooting! How far out were you? I live close to the Bass Pro flagship store and recently they had a three-times-points sale on all Hornady ammo. I picked-up a few boxes of Zombie Max and hopefully will be able to sling them at a zombie shoot in October. Those targets in your picture...

    Big Game Hunting In Africa Is Economically Useless IUCN

    I have seen this data before. It's pretty much the staple go-to article the anti-hunting community loves to cite. Of course hunting doesn't contribute to a vast majority of the GDP of a country, its purpose is to contribute to conservation, help feed hungry people, and propagate healthy...

    Trophy hunting has taken a beating...

    I have to respectfully disagree. The focus is on the younger generation and they most certainly are influenced by social media. Traditional media is for all intents and purposes, dead. The large majority of people get their news from their Facebook feeds, Reddit, and from Twitter links, and...

    Trophy hunting has taken a beating...

    I think a PR campaign would be huge. There are all those infomercials that show starving children in Africa. How about a hunting commercial showing a whole village pigging out on an elephant, then we cut to a hunter who says, "I fed a village in Africa." Then you show a beautiful scene of the...

    Trophy hunting has taken a beating...

    As someone who just came in from the outside, I feel like there are several things working against hunters as a whole. First of all, the hunting community in my personal opinion is stagnated by some of the outdated code of ethics taught in hunter's education. For example, "Don't talk about...

    Delta ban on Trophies

    The real issue with those kind of people is their unwillingness to separate emotion from logic. Conservation requires pragmatism, not feelings. I guarantee you they would not feel the same way about a lion if it came and took their wife or child from their home in the middle of the night. I...

    Delta ban on Trophies

    I feel it's important that we as a community need to voice our opinions more loudly. Where are all the conservation organizations in all this? If hunting makes that much money for conservation, why aren't these organizations lobbying and getting the correct information out there? I know the...

    Big Cat hunting decision irreversible – Jean Kapata

    The pressure will go away soon. In 30 days no one will care about trophy hunting in Africa that suddenly started caring about it this week; something else will happen for them to latch on to. We will be back to "so-and-so lives matter" and Jade Helm fears in no time. I am glad someone is...
