I’m back full time in Texas working at one of our gulf coast facilities. That can only mean two things, the Rat is ready to play and the hogs are gonna pay! Took these this week with the old M77 30-06 that recently had a facelift with a Boyds laminate stock and Meopro scope. The rifle has...

Been looking for a 275 Rigby Hawkeye African for some time. This one popped up on Gunbroker today and I couldn’t resist. I’ll post pics and report on how it shoots when it gets here.

I hunted with Marius in 2016 and was unable to connect with a bushbuck ram. I’ll admit that we saw several mature rams but not the one I was looking for except for the 17” plus ram we had at 300 yards facing us straight on. We couldn’t get him to turn broadside and due to his location on the...

Headed to the In-laws on July 5 to visit, work around the place and have a little fun. Packed my 7X57 with 156 gr Oryx and the 204 Ruger with 40 gr Berger. First evening took the largest sow out of the sounder, second morning the dominant male came in solo. This guy has given me the slip twice...

Took a little break from working at the inlaw's this week to clear out some of the hog vermin from my feeder and catch and release a few bass from the old farm pond. The more I shoot my CZ 550 in 7 X 57 the more attached I become. Look's like the 156 gr Norma Oryx behind 46 gr of H4350 will be...

I recently bought a Ruger M77 ultralight (red pad, tang safety) in 257 Roberts and need a little help on scope selection. I'd like to keep it light as possible and low profile but still have a 3-9 or 4-12 power x 40. I like the idea of the VXR but would have to replace the rings that came with...

last year when Marius posted the dangerous plains game package for 2015 I immediately asked if the offer was good for 2016 as well. He quickly answered yes and I booked a 10 day hunt for the last of April and the first week of May. Well with five days before departure from the sand box here in...

Wife picked up our latest goodies this last week and sent me some pics. All from our 2014 Botswana trip. Have to wait until June to get them up on the wall. The wildebeest rug really came out good.

it's nice to know we do have friends in the Media. I found this earlier in the week and found it interesting. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/05/05/poaching-americas-traditions-when-animal-extremists-attack0.html

The wife picked up my big mainframe 8 point today from Conroe Taxidermy. Buck was killed mid November. This is a low fence East Texas Whitetail taken on my wife's parents farm in Nacogdoches. Here's the before and after pics. It will be several more weeks before I can see it for myself and get...

We were met at the Maun airport by Kanana rep Will (apprentice PH) and our journey began! The wife and I had chose to spend a few days at Afton House in Joberg prior to our safari and the stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. We were accompanied by a work colleague and his nephew who joined use...

Hi all, off to Kanana in Botswana next month for my first African adventure! Going to meet the wife in Joberg on the way and rest a few days before heading out to Maun. Any suggestions for two days of relaxation before heading out? We are staying at the Afton House. Thanks Robert
