I’ll second Slogan’s. I have one on my 375 and 30-06. Grandson has one on his 308. They “stick” to you like glue. Never fall down, wrap easily around your arm and can be split into back pack carry.
My grandson turned 10 in January, we leave in 21 days for South Africa. My second trip his first. He started shooting squirrels at 6 with a 22. Took his first deer at age 7 with a 308. We shoot Wednesday evenings every week when the weather is decent. Honestly he will shoot better than me most days.
According to what I have been told ALL unfinished trophy’s have to go to USDA approve facility. If you have unfinished primates or swine they have to go in crate separate from all the rest.
Used Africa Sky in 2021, they did permits plus meet and greet. Keep in mind flight landed 4am local time. We were thru customs and SAP and on the road to camp by 4:30 - 4:45. Will be using Africa sky again in April.
I’m in Maine April will be second trip to SA. First trip we flew out of Logan on Qatar. No problems at all with rifles coming or going. Return trip was thru Philly so that was Port of Entry. No problems there either. Pretty painless. Next trip we will fly Qatar again departing and returning thru...
This is my ever vigilant protector!!! As you can see she is hard at work. I really need a shirt that says I am an emotional support hooman for a Great Dane.
If you are going to do a lot of belted magnum reloading i recommend getting one of these https://www.larrywillis.com/Lockstock.html
Seating die I use a Forster Bench rest Micrometer die and a factory crimp die.
I have Barnes for the 375 but just got a box of Swift A frames.
Don’t worry the thrill will be back when you book your second. [emoji23][emoji41] my second has been booked for a little over a year now. Time will stand still for a while then it will go soaring by. Working on getting flights now. Grandson and I hit the range once a week and go hiking at least...
Gave up doing hay about five years ago now. I do miss the big Massey , I’ve still got the Mahindra. It gets used and abused at camp as a woods tractor.
Ok DO NOT walk into the CBP with your rifle in hand!!!!!! Leave them in the vehicle and go in and ask how they would like to handle it. Without speaking to them and walking in with firearms is a Federal Crime!!! 4457 for SA needs to be done in the year of travel, and will only be accepted in...
Flew Qatar last trip 2 years ago. Qatar whole way going over, return was Qatar to PHL then AA to BOS. Never saw any extra fees for rifles or transfer fees — flew cattle class
WTF 2 weeks ago we had double digits below zero and today it’s 56 degrees. Got to love Maine weather. On the good side the boiler won’t be running much today
My son will be flying out of MSP next April for our hunt. Plan right now is to fly Qatar. My grandson and myself will be flying Qatar out of Boston, we should meet up
In Doha is all goes to plan. I flew Qatar April before last and it was great.
I did some further looking into it. There are 2 crews that swap out on a weekly basis. The venture outside on an hourly basis to deice and make sure instruments are working correctly. Here’s an article I was reading about it...
I believe it is still a manned weather station. I could be wrong. I do know we used to have a weather man on the local news that would spend his winters up there. I actually just googled it and it has been continuously manned since 1932. Here is a pic of one of the wooden buildings up there...
That’s a record for the top of Mt Washington. Here in Maine we typically see a week or so of sun zero temps. This is a particularly wierd cold snap. Right now we have a temp of -21 without wind chill. With wind chill they say it’s -45 or so.
There are a few companies out there with decent mounts for the 110. Obviously you know you have a flat back that will need to be known also is it long or short action. I have a couple of Savages they all shoot well.
I’m sitting here reading it right now. Been a while since I have had time to read. Mother Nature has decided to dump more than a foot of snow last night and at least another half foot today. Power is out and I’ve already cleaned up the yard and driveway once this morning and had nothing to do...
Rifle season ended yesterday here in Maine. Temps hovered around 50 by mid day. Although not the greatest temps for hunting here, with heating oil close to $6.00 a gallon I’ll take as much of this warmer weather we can get!!!!
