    What cartridge would you choose for hunting Bull Moose in Canada?

    Honestly, any of them would work. I've shot three Canada moose. Two were with a 338WM with the discontinued 230gr Winchester Failsafe bullet. The third was with a 300WSM with a 168gr Barnes TTSX. A family member used my 6.5 Creedmoor with a Hornady American Whitetail factory loaded 129gr...

    TuffPak Gun Case and Ammo Case Question

    To my knowledge, you cannot put ammo, whether in a locked case or not, in the case that holds your firearm. You can in many cases, put a locked ammo case in checked luggage. The only exception that I have encountered is flying within South Africa. They will often make you check your ammo case...

    Waterbuck opinion

    Sometimes crap happens. My waterbuck certainly looked good as he stared at us out of the brush at 200yds. However, he suffered from ground shrinkage. The outfitter/PH was quite disappointed, maybe more than I was. Was the waterbuck as big as I would have liked, no. Who pulled the trigger? I...

    What is the purpose of carrying a knife out in a safari..

    All I've taken with me to Africa is the Cold Steel Pendleton Mini Hunter. Small enough to fit in a pocket, or a possibles belt pouch (I don't wear any fixed blade knife on a belt), this little knife hits way above it's weight class. This link is for the new manufacture. I prefer the older...
