Highly recommend Upper Canyon Outfitters. Great people, my wife and I have known Donna and Jake McDonald, the owners for many years. Beautiful country, Ted Turner's Buffalo ranch is next door, plus the Ruby River flows right out the backdoor. Also excellent elk hunting outfitter for your...

Just to note April 19th will mark the 68th anniversary of the passing of Jim Corbett. I believe I shall raise a glass and take a moment to remember this great man. A coworker recently returned from a month in India, where he visited Corbett's Kaladhungi and the reserve. He has some amazing...

Plus one for the 5.11 shirts, I still have a half dozen issued for similar locations. One of my favorite items is the loop/button arrangement for rolling the sleeves. Not a fan of velcro or cartridge loops on the shirt. Also keep a longer tail on the shirt so it won't come untucked when...

Just joined but have been following the site for a while. Lots of fantastic information and great posts and stories being shared. Retired military (Marine), lifelong elk/duck/upland game hunter, haven't been able to hunt Africa yet, but my wife hunted Namibia a few years back. Currently...

Great thread, thank you for posting. ”Man-Eaters of Kumaon” has a been a favorite of mine for many years. I first read it in paperback as a teenager. Then in 2009, during one of my deployments in Afghanistan, while waiting to board a helo for the next mission, I was going through one of the...
