What part of Nevada are you located? That photo looks very similar to out along the state line in 015. I’ve spent a lot of time wandering around that lonesome country. Love it out there. And God knows there’s tons of mustangs all over that region.

Sphere are you going? Who are you hunting with? And what will you be hunting? You’re going to enjoy a stellar time.

There is NOTHING in North America that the .338 win mag isn’t an excellent choice for. I first started hunting with my .338 in 1985, a Brown Bear hunt on Kodiak. The bear was across a canyon, well over 200 yards away. I was shooting a 250 grain Nosler Partition. Two quick shots and the bear...

@SStomcat yes, I realize that those taking any of the weight loss peptides can also lose muscle mass. But what one does about that matters and is controllable. I’ll suggest that losing body fat is far more important to good health than some muscle loss. In my own case I’ve not lost, but...

Great question, as this topic has been front and center for me the last few years. To start, I’m 67. In 2019 I was in pretty bad shape with bad knees, torn meniscus in both, I weighed close to but not quite 300 pounds, was in bad enough shape that I was contemplating having to sell my house...

By the time anyone would have found it, I was back in CA. Water Canyon was pretty neat country.

Water Canyon. Trip started off lousy as there were very few elk around, which was weird since it was February. So I wandered off the Pueblo and quite a way up Mt. Taylor, got stuck in the snow with no tools to get unstuck. Took about 4 hours to get dug out and back down to where I belonged...

Driving 70 mph down a dirt road… You just reminded of when I did that on the Pueblo of Laguna in New Mexico while elk hunting one February. I was hauling ass back toward town, going well over 70 on a dirt road at about 11:00 PM under a big full moon and as I came streaking past the only...

On my very first day hunting in Africa, we were on Deka and just sorta riding along while I was in wide eyed amazement. The two track crossed into Hwange Park and then back into the hunting area and pretty soon we came around a bend to find a spectacular lion sleeping right in front of us. Roy...

That’s a hell of a fine old rhino bull, congratulations!

@VonJager we arrive in camp on the afternoon of the 10th. I’m hunting with Neal, my buddies with Fabian & Dalton.

Bailey Bradshaw builds beautiful guns. You chose well

You can’t make a wrong decision with either choice. I’ve always admired the 35Whelan but since I already hunt with a .338 Winchester most of the time, there’s no reason for me to have a Whelan besides ‘want’. On the other hand, I remember Roy Vincent telling me on my first safari what a...

That’s funny, in every mathematical equation I’ve ever calculated 1 1/2 ounces always weighed the same whether it was 1 1/2 ounces of lead or wood or cotton candy. All kidding aside, I get your point that loading with the same bushing will yield different weights for different shot metals...

Perhaps I’m being a bit ‘nit picky’ but a few observations seem in order… First, that photo is taken from above the buffalo, not at its same level. That’s why you can see his back over his horns and back feet higher than front feet. So all the shots, especially purple, will strike a bit...
