    20 vs 28 gauge

    20 years ago or so, hunting quail near San Angelo with some friends, our dogs (gsp’s) treed a bobcat. We were about 30 yards away and before I could get the words out my buddy shot it with a 28 ga. Using #8 shot. I was scared to death that cat would be wounded and injure one of the dogs but he...

    Buffalo Cancellation Hunt In Namibia's Famous Waterberg Plateau National Park!!

    Unbelievable offer Jamy. Waterberg and Chobe are 1a/1b on my list for Buffalo. Sure wish I knew how our election is going to turn out here in the USA. Either our economy will get fixed or it will be time to batten down the hatches.
