I'll not make the Ft Worth show this year but might be looking at next year for a set up. I've got the Montana Outdoor Expo the week after the Ft. Worth show that's keeping me here on the home front. My pocket carry is this little fixed blade TJ. @mdwest can tell you who the maker is.

As a former and future client of @Bos en Dal SAFARIS I would highly recommend them. I've been hunting with them twice and plan to go again soon. My friend @Mtelksports and his family will be joining them this year. You are definitely going to be inundated with many good safari outfitters. I'm...

Cost..... the term "casual" doesn't matter. I grew up poor but my dad took me hunting and fishing even though he wasn't real big into hunting. In high school I loved hunting and fishing and trapping. I had some property do do it on and I could ask the local land owners if I could hunt or trap...

In my opinion a lot more people and vendors. If definitely felt more professional this year. In my short time to walk around I found quite a few more things that certainly peaked my interest and got me to conversing with some folks than I did last year. As with others, I think it will only get...

Well, now. I finally made it home earlier this evening. Those of you that know, know this has been a hell of a trip for me. I would like to point out that I am one of the causes (there were a couple of others involved) that overstayed our time at the party! And @mdwest you are partly to blame...

Livestock brands are required in my state. A brand inspection from a state brand inspector is a requirement to transport across county lines. If cattle go to the sale barn and you have a cow that doesn't have your brand and you don't have a bill of sale, the money for that cow will be held for...

Pronghorn, my next favorite behind elk.

Papua, Indonesia

I was told today by the Events Manager that they would put the list of exhibitors out on Monday on their website. They had some late additions that they wanted to get added.

I wish I was a magician @mdwest . I do strive for perfection but fall short all too often. Thank you for the kind mention.

There were a lot of the surviving Rhodesian soldiers that went on to join the South African army to fight in Angola with many of them joining 32 Battalion. A number of the foreign soldiers joined too.

In my area of Montana, and other areas I hunt, the mule deer population doesn't appear to be decreasing. For the past few years FWP has only allowed buck mule deer to be taken and either sex white-tail. You can hunt all season and see a few spikes, 2 points, and a very small number of 3 points...

This is the thread you are probably thinking of: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/south-africa-americans-gone-wild-sa-ph-school.96768/ A very good After Action Review is included. Put on by @Bos en Dal SAFARIS which is a great outfitter in the Northwest Province of SA. Very affordable...

I was able to read a Reid-Daly book (I don't recall if it was the one named above). I'm certain I read it on the Everand site (a book reading subscription site). Another one to check out: Shadows of a Forgotten Past: To the Edge with the Rhodesion SAS and Selous Scouts by Paul French. I...

Thank you again @mdwest. I truly appreciate the kind words and hope that I am always able to live up to your description of me!!!
