    Post two of your favorite African hunting pictures

    The kudu was taken June 2023 on my first ever Africa trip. NKWE Safaris in Botswana was very special. The nyala was the first animal I shot in South Africa, September 2025, while hunting with Bushman's Quiver. This was also a very memorable, enjoyable hunt. It's hard to pick only 2.

    Question about 45-70 Magnum loads

    Thanks, guys. I've heard the Marlin 1895 levers can handle the magnums, but not trapdoors. You've confirmed it.

    Question about 45-70 Magnum loads

    I have a box of Buffalo Bore 45-70 Magnum, 430 grain factory loads. Does anyong know if they are safe to shoot in a rifle stamped "45-70 Govt"? A friend is giving up big game hunting and asked me to sell some of his ammo. I don't want to steer a buyer wrong.
