    Screw in chokes on expensive guns

    I’d get chokes. If you change what you shoot between lead and non toxic you’ll want it. Even a lot of upland public areas are now requiring non toxic shot. And bismuth and tungsten shoot different than lead out of different chokes.

    Scope eye - who has been cut by their scope?

    Yeah. Once or twice as a younger guy. Recently got a nice cut from a 375 in Zimbabwe. We were sneaking real low on a duiker and got in position. PH set up the sticks really low so I was crouched over the rifle. Dropped the duiker. Cut my eye. It won’t be the last time

    What is your real hunting distance limit?

    I will say that on my last hunt we used the traditional 3 prong sticks and then we used the 4 Stable Sticks which are much better for me. I was able to get a lot steadier with the 4 stable sticks

    What is your real hunting distance limit?

    I voted before I saw your requirement of off sticks. I said 400. That would be my max, prone from a bipod. My farthest shot that way was 318 yards last year on a pronghorn. I did shoot a kudu this year off sticks at 250+. I’m not real sure of range. We didn’t have a rangefinder. Could have...

    Antilocapra Americana - what an amazing animal to hunt!

    Awesome report! Pronghorn are a neat animal. I’ve only hunted them a couple times, but they are fun for sure. I love reading your impressions about our country. I enjoyed reading about all the world cup visitors impressions too. We are indeed fortunate in many ways in the US. A lot of...

    Man killed by Tiger in zoo in UK

    Man some of these comments are disgusting. We as hunters are disgusted when the antis post similar thoughts when a hunter is killed. . . Yet here are the same comments in reverse. The hypocrisy is astounding. Even more so given the more recent information about this poor guys capacity. Such...

    Talk to me about German Shorthaired Pointers

    Also. If you’re hunting the dog in Texas in thorns and such. My wire hair is much harder to keep unscathed than a lab. Hair is much thinner than a lab. He gets raw spots and cuts when hunting much easier than my thicker coated labs. A few days of pheasant hunting the reeds in South Dakota and...

    Talk to me about German Shorthaired Pointers

    I would love a GSP. I have a German wire hair and they’re different in ways, but similar in others. I had a very high drive active lab. He was nothing compared to the drive and activity of my wire hair. We have an acre and a half underground e fence and my wire hair is in it 24/7. My wire hair...
