    Viability of the Big Horn Armory Model 89 in .500 S&W (22" Barrel) for Cape Buffalo?

    If my memory is not failing me. I believe there was a hunting show (NRA Sponsored) in which the hunter hunted dangerous game with some type of lever guns. I do remember this hunter (can't remember his name to save my life) shot an older double and had an accidental double and he landed on his...

    Can't wait to see pictures of you with your Tom and read your report. I'm seriously considering going in 2027, and once I get back from the Eastern Cape, I'm going to get those wheels going. You have been an inspiration my friend. Thank you!

    South Africa in June?

    I'm on that flight. A good friend of mine is going to be the Capt of that flight. :D He was my OIC when we were both station at Homestead, great guy, and an outstanding leader; I would have followed him to the gates of hell to fight the devil. :ROFLMAO:

    Alligator hunt

    When I hunted my gators in Florida, you couldn't have any type of firearms in the boat. The gator had to be gigged and then shot with a bang stick. I used a 44 Mag bang stick, and we used these long poles with a metal point with a barb attached to a float to track them down. Something like a...

    How many others map out their future firearm purchases?

    Truthfully, there are some fine firearms I'd like to own (Rigby Highlander), but realistically and financially I cannot justify buying one. I honestly prefer to use that money and hunt more with the rifles I currently own. However, after saying all that, I was able to purchase a Blaser R8...

    Hunting Ethics Of Taking Female Animals In Africa

    My first animal shot in Africa was a female Gemsbok, the PH was super excited and truthfully I didn’t know the difference. It was a huge animal with very long horns. PH was very happy and so was I.

    New handloads for my 375 H&H

    I shot a Nyala at what I would call pushing the 375 H&H max range (around 350 yds), and it was a one shot kill. None of the animals I shot with the factory Barnes 300 TSX had an exit hole bigger than a quarter. I also do not know how fast those factory Barnes TSX are going out of my CZ-550.

    What's the most Mambas you have seen on a safari?

    As a kid living in Nicaragua, I had every snake found in the region (Boas, Rattle Snakes, Coral Snakes, you name it). I wanted to be a Herpetologist when I grew up. LOL!!!! At that time, I was a walking encyclopedia when it came to naming snake by their scientific name and local name. Three...

    The color of my skin is called cognac, and it’s about 25 years old and has held its color very well.
