    Who is hunting Coues deer this year?

    Coues deer hunters are pretty crazy when it comes to glass. The ratio of Swarovski binos per capita in my area is kinda nuts.

    Display of Hunting Photos

    I use easycanvasprints.com. They print on metal and canvas. I have some of both and enjoy them. Then I just hang them randomly wherever they fit. I’ve also had a large canvas print from Africa done for over our fireplace. It was a picture of a herd of wildebeest that just had really nice lighting.

    Blackbuck Hunts

    Texas. Many options and price ranges. Fancy to not fancy options. I like to hunt at https://hardingranch.com/ Though I have never taken one of their blackbuck.

    This is one of the best right ups ever! Keep it coming! Also I’m pretty envious of your journey thus far.

    7x57 Load Development

    I use the 140 class hammers out of my 7-08ai (not exactly the same thing but not too far off either) and I would not hesitate to use that bullet in Africa. I’d rock the hammers and call it good. Plus it seems hammers are always available.

    Cost to hunt

    Non resident tag if you can get one will be $700-$1900 depending on state. Drop camp hunt- $3500 plus travel expenses. (Fun but unlikely to actually take an animal) Fully guided public land in an easy to draw unit outside wilderness. $5000-$10000 plus travel expenses. (Fun and maybe you’ll...

    Luxury goods sales slowing? Safari's next?

    I am classed as a millennial at 35 years old. I think poor money management is 100% across the board through all generations. I see young 20 year olds that are very responsible and doing well for their age and I see 40 something’s that complain they can’t afford a house and they are broke and...

    Big Beautiful Bill

    Not all in WY but yes they would like to sell a few million acres of public land for “affordable housing”. The bill is very vague however and I would encourage reading it. Most all conservation groups have stepped up and opposed it.

    First African Hunt 2027

    Take the kids with! I did and it was awesome! I’m not rich either I just prioritize hunting over other things like cable TV, new vehicles that aren’t needed, ATVs, Side by Sides and boats. And No you can’t ship with your buddy. Only immediate family members can have stuff in the same crate.

    Massive Gun Collection Sale - Health Issues - 1959 Winchester Model 70

    @Jager Waffen74 I’m always saddened to hear stories like this. However I also find it somewhat uplifting to see you wanting to get these firearms into the good hands of folks that will use them for their intent purpose. Good luck to you and so far it appears you have a beautiful collection.

    My next stock refinishing project

    I recently did my first stock refinish on my M77 mark II in .300 win mag. I opted for French red with a hand rubbed oil finish. I even bought a couple of checkering tools to clean up the checkering a bit. Very satisfying project. I like the way yours is going!
