My friend picked up my two person elevated hunting blind today and plans to install it on his south Texas hunting lease tomorrow. He reports more warthog activity on his game camera and a couple of cougars. So, either he or I should have a picture of a dead Texas warthog soon. Plus , he has...

I recently became aware that here in Texas, Sambar deer can be hunted on exotic ranches and free range. https://www.huntsintexas.com/s...deer-hunts-in-texas/ Just one of many outfitters offering such hunts. Also by drawing on state managed properties...

Especially for Major Khan and Kawshik Rahman; I just completed reading The Temple Tiger and More Man Eaters of Kumaon and will soon begin the second Jim Corbett Omnibus. Wonderful story teller and adventurer. There is a wonderful variety of game to hunt in India and I suppose that you two...

Just back from hunt near Dalhart in the Texas Panhandle - 30 hunters with this outfitter and 30 bucks taken! All were fat and healthy . Here is mine: My son scored first and his was larger than mine. Then my friend with his flintlock scored Friday afternoon. The outfitter also does...

Their summer sale is on and I just ordered a cotton and leather rifle sling for less than $30; this is about 1/3 of the cost of similar slings from other vendors and includes the metal clips for the sling studs on the rifle. https://www.versacarry.com/rifle-gear/cotton-web-sling/ I like these...

If you think the setting is nice, you should see the lodging! My guide knows how to pose a photo!

The subject label was created from old Simson documentation and it shows the entire plant/Fabrik site, early site, and the three pyramid emblem. It also lists other Simson products made there. On the case: If any Simson gun owners want a jpeg of the label, please send me a PM with your email...

I had a chance to pick up this one with 26 inch barrels and think it might be a way to get the .45-90 double that I wanted by merely extending the chambers by .3 inch. This would allow use of .45-70 or .45-90 ammo as I do in my 1886 .45-90 for which I have brass, bullets, etc. It is from the...

An engraver is working on a German Silver stock oval which will match the coin finish action of my Simson Suhl .405 WCF. The question is, where on the bottom of the butt stock does it go? Before or behind the sling swivel?

After several days of rain, the country around Hondo was green and the roads muddy, so muddy, that we had to walk into the ranch from a county road to hunt. After 3 hours of tramping about in the 90 degree heat with boots heavy with mud, we took a break for lunch. We had seen a lot of exotic...

Simson Suhl .405 Double on Okie Hogs After several trips to the range to become familiar with the express sights and to zero the scope at 100 yards, it was time to move from paper targets to real game. I set up a group hog hunt at The Boars Nest in Kenefic, Oklahoma, where we could shoot...

Having shot Parker guns most of my life, I am no stranger to double guns, but became intrigued with the idea of a .405 WCF double rifle to be company for my 1895 TD .405. I looked far and wide for such a rifle without success until finally, I learned that a kindly gun maker had made one for...

What's not to like? A new custom made double rifle chambered in .405 WCF, LL Bean shooting shirt, 12 year old Irish whiskey and Cal Pappas’ new book, The Double Rifle Primer. Good Times! Also time to book another trip to Africa. Rifle details and pix to be provided in a later post.

I just finished the book Dark Winter by John Casey wherein he summarizes how the sun has recently entered a "solar grand minimum" and the reduced energy output from the sun will result in slightly lower average temperatures around the globe with some not so pleasant side effects for life on...

See picture #5 in this series on DG. The photo was taken by the author of the article(not me) as the bull began his move. Looks like the body language of a bull in a Spanish bullfight arena - no question of what he has on his mind! Thank goodness for stopping rifles. :eek...

This is a very important development and IMHO should be supported by all Americans that believe in the rule of law. This is not just about illegal immigration but about the US Constitution and the rule of law in America. Please see this report on the lawsuit by Numbers USA and if you like what...

2012 South Africa Safari for Cape buffalo with .405 Winchester More than two years of preparation for this hunt began with the decision to use my Miroku made Winchester 1895 .405 WCF takedown rifle to take a Cape buffalo. Though many buffalo have been taken with the standard 300 grain .405...
