The problem I see with "Do-Gooders" is they only think far enough into a situation to feel good about themselves.

I have 2 Heym doubles, 450/400 and 500NE; I shoot Hornady ammo for practice and use Safari Arms for custom loads. If you find yourself in East Texas, you can shoot either, or both of them.

Dave, Thanks. This was supposed to be a transmission swap - it got a bit more involved. My wife calls it, "Grown men with tools drinking beer".

Not asking the right questions, because you don't know them. Been multiple times and I still don't know them all.

If you go to the Los Cazadores Contest website you can see the classes and winners of last year. The overall was 308 and second was under 300 so I might have a chance at something. The guide asked the staff about "Mr Heavy" - it's a measure of mass, how much volume in the antlers, he thought...

Heym 375. Probably too much gun, but it was the easiest to retrieve from my truck without a lot of unpacking. Also, I had no idea of the range or surroundings so I chose a rifle with a scope. I had a 6.5 Creedmore with me for some of the drills at FTW, but after seeing the responses on this...

This started as a stock 1953 M38A1. Too many mods to list - but your welcome to drive it.

When I built my "Monster Jeep" my wife asked, "Do I want to know how much you spent on that jeep?" I responded, "NO", and kept on walking. The next morning I found my laptop open to a picture of a Mercedes SL550, with a Happy Face and a list of dealers who have them in stock taped to the...

With proper planning, at least one will show up after I'm dead.

I was able to redeem my hunt at the G2 Ranch this past weekend. I was scheduled to attend a course at FTW starting the 18th, so we planned a stop at G2 starting the 16th. G2 (https://www.g2ranch.com/) is located in Pearsall, TX - neat San Antonio. The lodge and accommodations are first...

My hunt was November of 2018, last hunt of the year. We hunted Lolkisale (Maasailand) and Lobo. Both of these areas are near Tarangeire National Park. If you look on Harpreet's website you will see the location and his camps. Rungwasafaris.com Tanzania is expensive compared to some other...

I hunted with Harbreet in 2018, took 4 buffalo - the smallest was 40", the others were bigger.

We enjoyed the show. Missed seeing some of the outfitters who attend DSC, but we will connect at SCI. There were enough outfitters there to start planning some future hunts. I booked a mountain lion hunt, won the G2 whitetail hunt, and will be spending the weekend with a PH planning a leopard...

Nice. We actually have quite a few euros as well as skulls - I like the contrast.

Thanks. My wife designed it.
