It seems to me that a setup like in the video wouldn’t provide much practice. A target that is traveling straight and level towards the shooter is essentialy a standing target.

I am seldom found in the woods without a varmit call. You never know when a critter may need to be called in.

A friend of mine was moose hunting along the Yukon river and in the middle of the night he heard something moving outside his tent. Figuring it was a bear he grabbed his rifle and slowly unzipped the tent. 20’ away was a good bull moose which was clearly visible in the full moon light. He shot...

I once shot a caribou 50 yds away through the zipper opening of my tent. It didn’t bother me a bit. I had a friend that shot a moose in his garden with a bow through a cracked open door. I doubt he had any ethical qualms while he was packing the moose 50 yds to the garage.

there is lots of rock in kaokoland. Im glad I took boots with stiff soles. Who are you hunting with in Kaokoland?

many years ago I saw a blacktail deer similar to that

Welcome Steve, I’m listening.

Danner Pronghorn are definately out. the soles are way too soft and flexible for rocky country.

Many years ago I hunted waterfowl on the Virgin river near where it flows into Lake Mead Nevada. I would get cinnamon teal most days I hunted.

You have to be careful around blacktails. If you screw with them at all they will come after you. Green mojave are also aggressive. Ive caught several mojave that rattled at my truck poking along gravel roads from 20-30’ away.

I was charged by a small male grizzly in Alaska. He seemed to be in good shape with good teeth. I looked all around for a kill he might be defending but found nothing. I guess he was just in a crappy mood. I had been false charged twice by bears and the difference is very apparent when they...

I was fishing on the beach in east cape, Baja and a guy came along selling beautiful carvings. He lold me that he did the carving, his father went up in the mountains to cut the special wood and his wife did the staining and finishing. I bought a jumping sailfish and when I got it home I noticed...

I hunted with @Jamy Traut Hunting Safaris in Kaokaland and heard some and saw lots of tracks. PH had hunted them numerous times.

I can’t imagine asking freinds for money so I could hunt.

I grew up in the area and my dad was the game warden in Georgetown when the jogger was killed in Auburn Lake Trails. My dad got a local houndsman to catch the lion. A necropcy revealed the female cat had a belly full of blacktail deer and wasn’t hungry. DLSJR, you may have met my dad there.
