He can do whatever he wants, no matter how absurd it may be. But his loyal followers are dwindling as they realize he’ll drop them like a hot potato whenever he feels like it—or even at the slightest sign of dissent from within his own ranks. Someone like Jeanine Pirro—as we can see here...

not in USA and not into Europe. But I wouldn’t care at all. I hunt for the sake of hunting, not primarily for trophies. If money is no object, assume that a large elephant will cost you over USD 1,000 per pound (as a rough estimate) and all the outfitters here will be lining up to take you on...

Welcome to the best forum. The headlines today in Europe are the invasion of Ceuta. What do you feel as a Spanish? Sorry to rush you with this.

tell us about your gun please

Thanks for this report. I printed it out and set it aside—it’s that very interesting what you say about handguns. Our professional hunters—those who go on wound searchres with their dogs—usually hunt wild boars (60 to over 100 each year). As I’ve observed over the years, they never carry a...

Hello everyone. Does anyone have any personal experience with this? Also, what distances have you shot at with it? Best regards and thanks Foxi

We lost both world wars because the Americans intervened. Otherwise, Europe wouldn’t have stood a chance—neither in World War I nor in World War II. With all due respect to the Canadians, the German Wehrmacht would have wiped the floor with you in a week. It took 14 days to defeat France with...

You have a great sense of humor. I like you. A Mauser 98 system was a sporting rifle—you can’t be serious, can you? Who goes around spouting such “wisdom”? The Mauser 98 system is still the most reliable bolt-action rifle today, and not just in Africa. I wonder why?

4 x a few of them had 30.30 ( the older ones) and 30.06 mostly

I don't want to convince you; you have your opinion, and I have mine—which I'm also happy to change at any time. But if, after 45 years of hunting on four continents, you've never met anyone who's ever used that cartridge, then that's also telling. The .303 is like English cuisine. It's...
