    Hunting in Europe

    I've been living in Romania for almost two years and have done a lot of hunting here. Hunted Roe deer several times, as well as pheasant, and was successful on a Red Stag, Chamois, and Bear hunt. Hunting Roe deer was a combination of high stand hunting and spot and stalking (which I always...

    Many cheap hunts vs only one very expensive premium hunt in a lifetime

    That's a very interesting question. My Africa safari was the trip of a lifetime and there is nothing that I have hunted before or since that compares. It seems to come down to priorities. Some aren't as romantic as I was, and still am, about hunting dangerous game or Africa in general. It may...

    First Gun Purchase for new Hunter

    My vote was .308. Plenty of amp options available, if he wants to upgrade later, a .308 will always serve him well or he can easily sell it. .308 also takes well to suppressed shooting, and is great for both deer and boar.

    Single Shot Saturday - Show us your Single Shots!

    Thank you! I had followed Mr. Bradshaw on Facebook for a while, as I thought his double rifles and engraving were both interesting and exceptional. I had been looking for a Hoenig rotary action but only found one for sale- ever. It was well north of what I could afford. One day, Bailey posted a...

    Looking for a new SXS. What's available?

    It's a bit more than the price range you stated, but I think the Beretta 486 Parallelo is one of the best current sxs on the market.

    What are you reading?

    I just finished "Shotguns and Shooting" by Michael McIntosh yesterday. Excellent book if you enjoy shotguns. I also ordered "Baagh Shikar: The Art Of Hunting The Royal Bengal Tiger" and can't wait to give that a read. In the meantime, I will start on "How I Killed the Tiger: Being an Account of...

    Caliber Choice Question, Because I'm a Weirdo

    I appreciate everyone's replies! There are a lot more options than I realized and some I have never heard of. I will research many of these and make a decision eventually!

    Baagh Shikar: The Art Of Hunting The Royal Bengal Tiger

    Sir, this is a great wealth of information! There are no longer people who can provide recent information on hunting tigers, at least as far as I am aware. Your article helps preserve a part of history. For those of us who will most likely never get the opportunity to hunt such an amazing...
