    Gator Hunting Who's done it? Need advice

    James, I'm planning a group hunt 4 hunters some time next year. My guys prefer to do it with bow/crossbow/ harpoon over rifle hunting and we'd love to do it on airboats. If you have something that fits this, let me know.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Gary Phillips Hunting Safaris Anyone Have Information Or Experience With Them

    Ditto that. Gary's been hunting a long time, just under his own title now. My uncle hunted with him this past year and he has some exceptional areas and they had a very successful hunt.

    Splitting Image Taxidermy?

    That would suck. Sorry to hear that. I guess I look at it this way..as you can see, you have to get creative to pack a lot of critters in a tight space, if the box gets bigger costs start going up every leg of the journey home. To keep on topic, My recommendation is to keep doing what you are...

    Class 2 Firearms and Gun Trusts

    I'm surprised others have no input here. My update is that I talked with 3 other Class 3 dealers, here is the summary: Dealer 1. Wait times are 18 months. He is letting his class 3 license expire. With wait times that long the money to be made vs the headache isn't worth it. Dealer 2...

    Class 2 Firearms and Gun Trusts

    I might be pushing the expertise of this forum...but let's see: In THE LAST 6 MONTHS, has anyone successfully processed an application for a Class 2 weapon (suppressor, SBR,etc) under a Gun Trust? I inquired on making such a move today and was informed that this particular Class3 dealer...

    cost of scope vs cost of rifle

    Never get cheap on glass..but also I don't believe a $2k scope is twice as good as a $1k. When comparing rifles-then you certainly get more for a "doubling down",IMO. Leupold VX-3 is my personal "go to" line, although I recently acquired a Trijicon..very nice, but not Made in USA. For my...

    Can a "proper" buffalo hunt be found in South Africa?

    At this point I'm just plotting the next excursion. Just trying to identify what can be expected and where. The hunt and shooting a good bull from a big herd, or seeing lots of big herds is more important to me than wacking a big bull next to a fence.
