A very unique bushbuck! Congrats on a successful adventure. Lots of nice animals, if it was me, I would lifesize that bush buck ram!

If you are just shooting plains game then both are fine. The swift may open a bit quicker but both bullets will give you pass throughs. The only advantage to the swift is if you are stretching the distance, then I would give it the nod, otherwise you won’t see any difference in the two as far...

Beautiful and a great back story. Congratulations!

Some of you may find this of interest-

Depends where I am and how much I can pack. I also want to see the bullet or broadhead performance. I often save the heart and liver. No matter the method you still have to skin the animals and that is where most the time is consumed.

There are several pages on fly fishing “gear” that would be entertaining and mind boggling at the same time. Do an advanced search for “fly fishing” and you’ll have plenty to sort through- I bought the orvis encounter 5 weight as a kit from scheels for my beginning daughter and she has done...

Not walnut but beetles killed the 20 year old shade trees in my backyard. Due to fences and power lines and roof lines I had a tree service come in take them to the ground. Then I chain sawed them into bite size chunks and then I loaded them into a 20 yard dumpster. Despite mostly my labor...

My wife and I drive to Colorado to see her in concert in @2016. I am not a huge fan but I do like enough of her music. I was extremely impatient impressed by the way she worked with the crowd, told experiences and the reasons she does certain things. She had a lot of energy-charisma. It was...

Love the “old” look in his eyes and the other detail in his face. Very nice mount, congrats!

Nobody ever sees what you live Without, nor the extra shifts at work or the extra job you picked up. My wife doesn’t even notice until it inconveniences her! No guilt brother, I didn’t inherit a damn thing, I earned every penny of it.

I agree the wall pedestal route. If you can show the shoulders you get more of the color which is nice. A sneak mount would be typical for a lechwe if you can find a nice form or a taxidermist to alter one for you to your desires-

Barnes 168 ttsx available right now from midwayusa would be the very easiest solution. Or do you really need a tsx? I shoot a lot of .30-06 and rarely shoot bullets above 165 grains. If I got to a 180 gr I use a .300 wm.

The starting product- Needs to dry before I can do finish painting etc. got a bit of feather preening to do but this is just another day, just another project. Some really amazing skills you all have displayed!

Any or all of those three will be just fine

A fascinating read of well told stories and an outstanding history of Sudan and surrounding countries. Learned more from this book than I did in AP history in high school! Hunting the ibexes and gazelles and spiral horns and more all tied together and heavily/beautiful photographs. I got this...
