    Argentina Exporter Raided Trophies Seized

    You received that response because eveyone in the hunting industry in Argentine is very concerned about staying afloat in a failing economy. It's their lifeblood.. Exactly like outfitters in Mexico who assure prospective clients that "all is well". Proceed with extreme caution. Do your due...

    Shitty deal. If they are trying to eliminate a major source of income...in a country that is struggling this is the perfect game plan. Stupid is as stupid does. Best Spike

    For Sale CZ 550 Safari Magnum chambered in .416 Rigby.

    The sky is not falling. These are the times we live in...thieves/scammers are de riguer. Just a bit of due diligence goes a long way. A phone call, conversation, references, history...the easy stuff...eliminates a lot of this nonsense. Let's not allow the occasional scoundrel to cause us to...

    I used to really hate the .308

    There are several very good reasons why the .308 was designated as a standard military sniper round in the mid 60's...and has remained in the fold for 60+ years. Those who disparaged or disregarded it, could have done so for reasons best understood only by themselves...after having pooh-poohed...

    Where is the best steak (and why)

    Well said. The companions, location, circumstances, and memories that accompany a spectacular meal often trump the goodness of the meal itself...if one is fortunate. Best Spike

    Where is the best steak (and why)

    I discovered my favorite steak by accident 30+ years ago in BA Argentina. I ordered it out of curiosity as I had absolutely no idea what exactly it was. Hanger steak... roasted medium rare over a hot wood fire...served with chimichuri dip sauce. IMHO several steaks are it's equal... however...

    New Buffalo call your shot

    Practice accurate shooting at various distances. Put the bullet where intended with unfailing consistancy...and don't worry about "where" to shoot your Buff. Your PH will tell you exactly when...and exactly WHERE to shoot. If you are proficient with your rifle, and capable of hitting the spot...

    Who wears shorts on Safari?

    I am neither a fashionista, nor a historian, but am firmly of the mind that, the Daisy Duke/nut-hugger/shorty shorts fashion trend was firmly and indelibly established in Zim...during the Bush War...'64-"79. Reminiscing back through photos of some of the roughest, toughest gentlemen I've ever...

    Who wears shorts on Safari?

    I most often rely on 2 pairs of convertible pants with... zip-off legs. One in paper-thin tropic weight material, the the other in a bit heavier canvas/cotton. That combination covers most of the bases for me....hot, cool, heavy thornbush (sort of), scrub, etc. Best of Afrcan luck to you...

    Battle of bad choices .243 vs 6.5 Creed for hogs

    Just my personal experience. I owned 1 particular rifle and bullet that was used exclusively for Coyotes and Hogs...for 15 years or so. A LH Tikka T3X in .243... stuffed with 100 gr Nosler Partitions. I don't keep records, but am confident that 50-60 Coyotes and 10-15 Hogs found that combination...
