    Shooting Large Caliber Rifles (.375 H&H and Up) Following Shoulder Replacement Surgery

    My wife and I both had total reverse shoulders less than two years ago (I'm 75 yrs.) . Her Dr (different than mine) said go back to normal activities after 9 months-ish. My doctor said, forget sports and shooting...you can not redo your shoulder at this point if you mess it up. I hunted...

    third party flight booking

    I agree with booking directly with the airline, hotel, etc. Less expensive overall and get benefits. I've booked 3 flights to South Africa for next year....always direct with airline. I did contact a ticket agent as instructed by Delts for senior citizen discount (10%). Agent wanted 33%...

    Hello from Florida

    Howdi. I'm your neighbor....The Villages, Fl. I hunt and work on game reserves with my wife several weeks to months yearly. If I can help in any way, let me know. No matter what or where, the African people, cultures, languages, wildlife, etc. are all amazing.

    Let’s be honest….accuracy off the sticks

    I've find that shooting at "bullseye"targets can be different than shooting at paper targets of animals. Much easier to settle on a circle dot than a spot on an animal where you have to distinguish locations based on angles and body parts. Plus, I try to settle fairly quickly on the sticks...

    What do you do when you fill your package early?

    I was hunting with a buddy. Each with our own PH's. I filled my list early. My PH said, let's try for a bushbok....May take a few days. 30 minutes !!! 15 inch. Let my PH go home with a nice tip. Walked with my buddy for a couple days. Every one happy.

    AfricanSky vs Afton Safari Lodge

    I've stayed at all. City lodge in Airport (elevator from second level parking area) is convenient and decent. No animal trophies to look at, thought. Good breakfast. No transport to other lodge. Intercontinental across street from airport...but more expensive.

    Florida Africa hunters

    Good locations in TV. don't wait to get here. You'll be glad you did if you're active. Hunting seems to be a touchy subject here...lots of gun/shooting stuff though.

    Florida Africa hunters

    I live in The Villages Florida....1 hour north of Orlando. Just wondering if there are any hunters interested in Africa in this area. The Villages (amazing place to live) has a thousand clubs but nothing re.: hunting. Thx.

    Delta from Atlanta to Joberg

    I fly delta from Atlanta to Joburg several times/year. If first class (delta one) is out, I'd choose comfort plus....middle or right side of plane...bulkhead ! Left side of plane, the aisle from comfort select (not worth the extra money....tried it once) runs into the aisle seat bulkhead in...
