    on a lighter note...

    Ludo Wurfbain sold Safari Press (including the inventory) to Rowman Littlefield last summer. If you search Rowman Littlefield's site, you can find a bunch of Safari Press books. I'm not sure of their plans for the future and Mr. Wurfbain didn't know when I talked to him in January. I also...

    When showing off your new Elephant rifle goes wrong

    Recoil energy is not equal to the bullet energy. Recoil momentum = bullet momentum (or more accurately recoil momentum would equal bullet momentum + charge momentum) You're assuming recoil energy = bullet energy; this would be extremely painful.

    Looking To Buy 8mm Mauser Ammunition, Brass, Bullets & Dies

    Glad to hear it - and, yes, I've had payments sent by mail take 14 and 28 days this year, and others that arrived super fast like this one.

    African Twilight

    I enjoyed reading this about a year ago, near the "beginning" of the pandemic. I posted this short comment about the book on another website: I just finished reading this book and enjoyed it. Robert F. Jones (1934-2002), was a journalist / sportswriter, novelist, and columnist for Shooting...

    Looking To Buy 8mm Mauser Ammunition, Brass, Bullets & Dies

    I was digging around in a box of never-used reloading supplies and found I have a set of CH dies labeled "8mm Mauser" and 20 rounds of 8mm Mauser brass. I bought these as part of a lot 20 years ago. If these would be of interest, send me a PM. Likely one of the experts here will know more...

    Beware Of Wolfgang Schenk Taxidermy, Germany

    Raamw - I'm very sorry to hear this story, especially as I am now waiting for a Greenland muskox to come to the US. I hunted there in March of 2020; my muskox and an arctic hare were received at the Danish taxidermist in July of 2020. They have cleaned the skull, "wet-tanned" the cape, and...

    How many zebras?

    Well, the region I'm looking at that (I think!) may have more legs than can be otherwise accounted for with 5 zebras is here. But, I might be wrong! I only ever counted 5 zebras before.

    How many zebras?

    They are Hartmann's mountain zebra; I took the photo in Kaokoland, Namibia in 2017. Unlike most puzzles, there's no absolutely-known-to-be-correct answer! I would have said 5, but I think there might be extra legs to the right of the group. So maybe 6?

    How many zebras?

    In case I ruined anyone's fun by posting where I could see the kudu in the "How many kudu..." post, I offer a much easier puzzle. How many zebras?

    Can you guess how many Kudu are in the photo?

    I apologize if I'm ruining anyone's fun here, but I still can't see 10. I can see 7 for sure (marked in red), one other possibility (in green). And I think there might be two in the red circled portion next to the green. Anyone care to show where the ones I'm missing are?

    US Passport Update

    I've been waiting to send mine off until an October trip to Norway was definitively cancelled. I'll send it tomorrow. I see the National Passport Processing Center just went from Phase 1 to Phase 2 today. Further checking shows...
