Welcome from Bartow County

So, I'm the "gentleman" Andrew62 mentioned (gentleman is a stretch) who purchased his Sabatti 9.3x74r. It was regulated with 286gn RWS factory ammo which is all but impossible to find stateside, so prior to working up loads I took a run with some factory ammo. Federal Premium with Swift A Frame...

My deepest condolences, having lost my hero also, I can empathize with you but no one every truly grasps the feelings you have with your particular lose. I pray and hope that you are reminded of him each time you go to the field or look at a trophy you shared or just the experience of the...

Well it’s hogs on the Ga coast in a few weeks and chasing reds and specks with a 6 weight in the marsh. I’ll be back in SA spending time in the Kalahari and Limpo in July and August. Then dove is right around the corner in September with Marsh Rails on the full moon flood tides. Deer and pigs in...

This is brother/sister combo Rudy and Mazie....a fine pair of Jack Russell's. They just hit 1 year old the other day and are already doing really good on blood trailing and recovery. They found their first deer at 7 months old. But where they really shine is following me around, being under my...

Just so everyone is on the same page about 41J and counterpart, on the Delta 350-900 there are three variants of that plane with three seat map versions. You can go on the particular flight and see which version is used for that trip on the day you book. The 35H plane version is the one with the...

I wear cowboy boots every day, various brands. Justin ropers, Dan Post, Lucchese, several pair of custom made from various skins I’ve harvested and Chippewa snake boots while hunting down south and Texas. Africa I’ll wear Courteney’s and Jim Green.

I’ll take them

Limpopo 2023

I’ve worn some brand/style of boot every day professionally since 1980 and each is designed for specific different purposes. As far as Africa goes it is hard to beat Courteney’s design (I own 4 pair). However, I also have a pair of Russell PH’s and recently I’ve been wearing a pair of Jim Greene...

A gunsmith buddy turned me on to a product called GUN SAV'R Gunstock Finish Hunter Satin. It's in a spray can and I got it from Brownell's. I picked up a beater Winchester 70 375 H&H that looked like someone had used it as a boat paddle, stock was sound just looked rough and needed re-bluing...

I use Trijicon RMR and SRO on my work pistol and rifle respectively daily. The majority of my personal self-defense weapons are the same setup, so I'm a big fan of Red Dot Optics, especially Trijicon. I've got RMR's on my Sabatti 9.3x74r and 12ga doubles, however the majority of my hunting rigs...

Happy Resurrection Day

My PH handles the paperwork on his side for me before I arrive. I’ve done it in the past and didn’t have a problem though.
