    Taking Trophies...or only pictures?

    I've hunted in South Africa 5 times over the last 6 years. Lord willing I'll be back next year. My first hunt is on the wall. All others are in picture books and journals. I sleep well knowing not an ounce of protein is wasted. Either consumed or sold by the outfitter, or purchased by me...

    IMPORTANT: Immediate Changes to South African Firearm Registration Guidelines for American Hunters

    Bob is right. My buddy and I went to the airport this past Monday. We got 3 new 4457's, and we're back in our vehicle in less than 15 minutes. Other than the drive to the airport, and having to get these new ones to Annalise in time for our upcoming hunt on April 10, it was a breeze. Kevin

    Soooo you got a new President...

    So now Trump's motive to be President of the United States of America, is so he can save money on taxes. No... to have an inappropriate relationship with Russia!! What next free cell phones? Give me a break. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Soooo you got a new President...

    It was actually a 916 million dollar loss Trump took, not 9 million. By what I have read, it was a true loss. Anyway, I'm thinking "Headless" was a Bernie fan, if he's actually telling the truth about not voting for Killary. Kevin

    What's the best and worst African tasting game meat?

    In my opinion any of the Plains game prepared correctly,( not over cooked) is wonderful. My favorites though are Black Wildebeest or Kudu filets as rare as possible. Also, I cooked some Kudu liver over the open fire pit with just a garlic powder, salt, and black pepper rub, drizzled with olive...

    McMillan Prestige 404 Jeffery

    Great rifle and goodies deal right there. I just now came upon this offer. In regards to fine wood stocks compared to synthetic, in my humble opinion, there is no comparison. To me nothing screams "Africa", more than a big bore with fine wood. On the other hand, I just read the hunt report on...

    20/20 Television show - Cecil the Lion

    I viewed this 20/20 episode, this past weekend. Of course, all details of the reenacted hunt were speculative. I do applaud 20/20 for having the Zimbabwean citizen, who gave his perspective/true, view of lions. Also the famous lady hunter's perspective was also much appreciated. In my opinion...
