I promise to yell at you a little when I see you next. Will that help? :)

@Aussie_Hunter 's experience is the same as mine. I have a 25 year old T3 Varmint on .308. All it does is shoot cloverleaf patterns with pretty much anything you put down the pipe. I did swap out the stock for a B&C when they were on sale. Doesn't shoot any different but it makes me less sad...

It goes without saying that the crown jewel of the DSC and SCI events is @Rare Breed 's Friday night dinners. Even if you hate Atlanta (and as a local I really do), put on your brave boy pants and come on down and share a table with your best Africa Hunting friends. Same for Nashville. Nice...

I do. Im just using the flight price piece of it to make me feel better that I can't go back.

You are spot on. My initial research showed that as well. If everything fun were cheap we'd all die young with smiles on our faces.

Yep. I am aware of the staggeringly good value to be had in Africa. And how amazing it is and how I'd go back on the regular if I could. However, this wasn't a choice for me. So Texas it is! I do get to avoid what looks like an unbelievable inflation in price on the ATL to JNB flight. I...

Hi friends, Due yo circumstances beyond my control, the door to future Africa hunts appears to be closed. So moving on. If a guy wanted to go to west Texas and hunt aoudad and maybe some exotics, what might be the various forum recommendations. Looking at 2028 in the fall. Want either free...

I was in Matetsi 2 late May and early June. Admittedly it was a very wet summer (wetter than usual) but we still had some access issues on roads. Also, seeing what elephants do to wet roads makes me really wonder if they have an intentional mean streak. I dont have a pregnant wife to worry...

My original wood on CZ made me so sad I replaced it with...(insert slight shudder)...a B&C. Which is okay but juat doesn't merit much in the way of beauty points. Nice stock you had here. Great sale. And yes, you should have asked more.

Arghhhh! Juat seconds behind. Okay, so 3rd I guess.

No doubt. Set me 2nd in line if this falls through please.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

You've got this. And we are all behind you. And your family.

I happen to know the end of this story. All I can say is budget smudget. Who needs a budget?

Hedge, In my humble opinion you are going the wrong direction. South Island is absolutely stunning. Grab a car and head towards Mt Cook and Fjordland. You will not be disappointed. I am sure there is some fishing down there. North Island is okay, but South is breathtaking. PM me if you...
