    Scope Recommendation - Swaro or Trijicon

    I've used Trijicons for ten years with the green post on groundhogs out to 400 meters and in RSA at night spotlighting springhares at 200 meters. For me, the post's point is a fast acquisition help.

    Bertram USA, Scam or Ligit?

    If their payment methods are electronic only, i.e. Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, etc., odds are it's a scam site. Edit: An option for a credit card is no guarantee either. If you're looking for Bertram brand brass, best to go through a reputable site like Graf's or Midway. https://www.grafs.com/bertram

    A Death Of Ethics: Is “Hunting” Destroying Itself?

    “The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear, others are slowly being...

    A Death Of Ethics: Is “Hunting” Destroying Itself?

    I have a shooting bud who won't kill anything he doesn't eat. I asked him for recipes for ants, mosquitoes, roaches and flies but he couldn't come up with any. Edit: While living in the tropics, I used boric acid for roaches. Seems it gives them gas and they can't fart. I guess I should have...

    Other activities

    As far as taking a mid hunt break, that depends on your list or package. Nothing is guaranteed including the weather and hunting conditions. In other words, if you take a day break, how will that affect the main purpose of going? Having said that, along with my PH, we went to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi...

He culls impala, warthog, kudu, waterbuck, blesbok, and springbok I've done a lot of research on RSA cull hunts and if you want other animals, you're going to pay more or hunt shorter time frames. From this chair, some of the...

    Shape of Rifle Stock for Shooting off of Sticks

    It depends on the sticks. As above, V shape, rounded forearm works. Last three years I shot off Rudolph sticks which are flat in the front. My stocks are flat and fit that style.

    New custom rifle questions

    "I have a CNC machine and a guy that can program it and can get a loan at the bank. I'm now in the rifle/action/barrel business". This is the trend. My 2¢, I'd send it back and tell them to fix it. My bet is, it'll still be a clusterfk. IMHO, it's best to stick with proven DG rifles.

    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem. Help.

    1/4" dowel in a drill press with some lapping compound and a vise to hold it, you can jewel it yourself. If you don't mind random jeweling, use a hand drill.

    Threats to Hunting

    Pennsylvania has 1.5 million acres of state game lands and 2.2 millions more of state forest land. The vast majority of it is big game habitat. I've hunted both. Getting there and finding a good area can be a problem for hunters who are pressed for time.

    Threats to Hunting

    The biggest threat to hunting? The hunters themselves. We/us/they can't seem to coalesce around just continuing the tradition. Instead, bitch about autoloaders for big game, shooting at anything over 100 yards, long range hunting, taking younger animals, taking specific animals ("I'd never shoot...

    Threats to Hunting

    I see human encroachment on wild areas and habitat loss as the main threat, Secondary are costs, in equipment, time and travel required. For PA and Delaware a lot of farms that were hunted are now housing developments, highways, industrial parks and retail establishments.

    First time big game hunter - should I start with an African safari?

    Going to veer off course here a bit and suggest you go solo on your first trip. That way you can get a feel for what the accommodations are like and if the off site activities will suit your spouse. Agree on the zebra skin, buy it and any other trinkets/souvenirs at Tambo on the way home.
