    Getting Attacked

    I was bitten by a Cottonmouth when I was a kid. Actually twice. Very painful and I spent several days in the hospital. I had an severe allergic reaction to the anti-venom

    Fly Rod Advice

    Most likely one aerator with a manifold and two diffusers. The place you buy it from can most likely design the system for you.

    Fly Rod Advice

    All of the major manufacturers make really good rods at different price points. Don't get hung up on brand names and go with a 9 foot 5 weight. A 5 weight is perfect for general pond fishing and also for the size trout you are stocking. Also go with a floating line. Don't worry to much about...

    Hornady CX

    Apologizing in advance for the poor picture quality. The bullet at the top is a 338 win mag Hornady 225 CX taken out of a gemsbok shot at 150 yards. The middle one is a 338 win mag 185 grain Barnes TTSX taken out of an aoudad at about the same distance. The one with no pedals is a 300 win mag...

    Beretta BRX1 vs Blaser R8

    I respectfully disagree. Have you shot the Impulse? With a FBT carbon fiber stock and a PROOF research barrel it shoots a one inch MOA all day long and weights a pound less than the BRX1. It also has the Spartan quick attach for the removal bipod that I use. I zeroed my buddy's BRX1 in 300...

    Which of these two rifles would you recommend for leopard?

    Thanks for the compliment on the Canvasback. He was a surprise since we were hunting wood ducks 300 miles inland

    I will have that conversation with my PH now that things are slowing down for him.

    Which of these two rifles would you recommend for leopard?

    After much hand loading I have given up on getting the Scirocco to group and and my rifle doesn't really like the partitions either. It does like the 180 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip which groups to a 1/2 inch MOA at 100 yards. What is your opinion of the Ballistic Tip for Leopard? Will it...

    How Long Did it Take for Your SCI Record Book Entries to Appear?

    My taxidermist just measured two of my African animals that are top twenty and should be measured by a SCI master measurer. I have two coming from South America that were measured there by a SCI measurer that are top twenty. How do you locate a SCI master measurer? Their database does denote...

    20 vs 28 gauge

    The TSS is the real deal for turkey hunting and great for pheasant also. Since you are not taking so many shots they are affordable. The real problem is when you bite into one, they don't have any give like lead.

    20 vs 28 gauge

    I have hunted several of the snootiest bird hunting clubs in America and they are not going to say anything if you show up with a 20 to shoot quail. They may not allow semi-auto but is it so they can know when you are loaded up. Most clubs want you to keep your action open until the dog goes...

    Cost at an Audiologist for Custom Earplugs

    I have those and just got the bluetooth/rechargeable version for $1600. I take both sets on hunting trip in case one goes out on me. I put them in at breakfast and take them out at dinner. Best money I have ever spent on my health.

    20 vs 28 gauge

    I feel like I give up about 10% effectiveness going from 20 gauge to a 28. And about 10% effectiveness going from a 12 gauge to a 20. Many people believe the 28 gauge is the sweet spot for a good pattern, which is more important than the number of total pellets in the shell. Now the .410 is...
