Beautiful and with the branches and leaves it looks natural!!

One I could not be without is the lowly 22lr.

Huge black bears. I am trying to get a tag here in Michigan and will bait on my property if I get one. Probably won't get anything that size but it will be satisfying to get a decent size one!!

Pre printed labels is the way to go. As Newboomer stated, drop off is easiest. I drop off at a local independent shipper that UPS, Fedex and USPS picks up every day.

I agree with most here, 10 would be my minimum as it was on my one trip there. A long time to get there and a longer time to get back!!!

Ha, ice cream maker. And being the oldest boy in the family, guess who got to crank the most!!!

Great animals. Thanks for sharing your hunt. Sorry for the travel troubles. That is what I feared the most when I went but luckily $$ got us through.

I still have these 223 wssm dies for anyone who needs them. I know they are not a real good "African" cartridge but somebody may be able to use them!!

I was 64 but celebrated my 65th birthday in 2019. It was in Zimbabwe. Our dinner server sang happy birthday song to me and it was great!!
