    Best balls

    I believe it’s one of terms that is not always consistent between different groups, but amongst hunters I think pancreas is usually what they are referring too. I’m sure someone how knows better can expand or correct me if I’m wrong. I’m not even sure I could identify it

    I have been thinking about attempting to make my own casings, just out of curiosity, but are you saying most folks peel the casing before eating? I have eaten sausages with them, though didn’t particularly enjoy the casings. Should I have been peeling them?

    Same with slush and rain going down your back! Unless I’m in a cab all day I like that 360 brim.

    I have been looking for recipes and experimenting more and more with “waste” pieces, but have yet to get that adventurous. I did try a little dish I believe was called Umchaza. Turned out to be eland colon. Pretty sure the only ones eating it were me and the pHs. Not bad

    Hats on safari

    I have always hated wearing ball caps and I picked up some fedora style wool hats from local shops (guessing less than 40 dollars) in the 90’s. Those have been my preference for the elements and held up strong for decades. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find replacements of the same quality. Been...

    What is a Sheild Mount? Splitting Image Taxidermy?

    Very nice. I didn’t know they would carve the skulls like that. Really like the carved warthog.

    I am no longer good in the sun/ heat. I had what I thought was the perfect wide brim, breathable hat, but left the dang thing at security at JNB.

    Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

    Your right about Kenmore not being a good spot for this meet up, but in case anyone is interested, you can sort of use sticks on the member side. Shots are limited to 100 yards if you stand on the platform or you can position yourself in between the built in benchrest for a very unnaturally...

    Interest in doing a shoot in NW USA?

    I had a friend that (moved away) always spoke highly of that range. Never been there myself. What is the yardage there? I am a member at Kenmore, but 300 yard max and (understandably) very safety conscious. Think 375 h&h is about the upper limit.
