    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Chris Troskie Safaris?

    Hello everyone. I’m curious about ct safaris. I’ve been messaging them through Facebook and the ph on WhatsApp and something just doesn’t feel right. I asked the ph about a good caliber for elephants and buffalo. And what action I should get and his only reply was a 375 will be plenty enough for...

    Suggestions for or

    Hello. I’m from the south eastern state of ga but will be moving to Oregon. Going to pick up rifle hunting as I do not believe my bow will reach far enough in some areas of the state. I’d like something that would pack enough punch 300 yards out for sheep/goat/elk but not tear up a Columbian...

    Swapping hunts

    Could I swap the muzzleloader for a longbow? I can drop whitetail sized game out to 60 yards. Haven’t pushed it past that though

    One rifle for North American big game?

    30-06 you can legally and ethically take any North American big game animal and it isn’t that much recoil. Old friend of mine said if it walks North America and can’t be taken with a 30-06 you need not be shooting at it. As been said here already it’s North America’s equivalent to Africa’s 375 H&H

    Laws on Bowhunting

    Alright thank you very much. For whitetail here in the us I normally use an arrow with total weight of 475 grains and that’s what I was planning on using for plains games. And for the larger tougher game I was going to try for a 1000 grain total weight arrow. Would this be good medication for an...

I am...
