    Things you survived, but probably shouldn't have

    Could make a bit of a list but at the top is definitely full charge by a wounded wild lion

    Blaser R8 - Why do African PH’s and Alaskan Bear Guides Choose Not To Use Blaser R8’s?

    Amen. You would think it would be common sense, especially with such vast opportunities in the US. But the stats on personal finance are glaringly opposite, and personal responsibility is disappearing like common sense. As a generalization though, this is a group that does or desires strongly...

    Blaser R8 - Why do African PH’s and Alaskan Bear Guides Choose Not To Use Blaser R8’s?

    I cant speak for the rest of the world, and understand that's partially what this thread is about, but I can definitely say financial irresponsibility is an epidemic in the USA and "if you want it bad enough" is absolutely spot on. Could go on for hours, but will leave it at that. I'm sure an...

    Elephant with a bow?

    Had an example of this my last safari. Had a Nyala take a step right when I released and the hit was a little far back, not a ton but a bit. I shoot 4 blade grim reapers and use hybrids when in Africa for added peace of mind. It was down in less than 40 yards (I think it was 30). I finished it...

    Elephant with a bow?

    I'm not sure if it's the lack of shock (and additional adrenaline from that), or lack of noise, or both but I tend to agree that I've seen many animals properly shot with proper archery equipment go less distance than properly shot with a firearm. Its counterintuitive unless you see it, but it's...

    Largest Hunting Concession South Africa?

    I've hunted RSA once and the experience was exactly as expected. Actually, it was harder hunting. Any fences, high or low, never had an impact on the hunt or the animals across 3 areas of the country, but especially in the eastern cape. And the research and selection process really wasnt that...

    USFWS denial in 2022 of 2018 Elephant import permit from Namibia (email string)

    Just hire a professional. Its a small portion of what this trip cost. As stated before, your frustration was obvious and trying to tell a government entity what they're supposed to do is never going to get you results, no matter how right you may be. Giving up now would be silly IMO, but I dont...
