Oh am I envious! Very fine trophy! A leopard and a hippo are pretty much the only trophies I miss not getting. Congratulations!

“Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” and “Don’t Let the Old Man In” are my all time favorite country & western songs. My granddaughter told me of his passing (I don’t listen nor watch the news.) She and I were very sad to hear the news. RIP Mr Keith. You have done well for the rest of us. Thanks!

I had been looking for one of these for a couple of years. Finally found one a month ago. It has some issues I have to fix, but if this one is still around and I can’t fix the one I bought, I’ll get with you. I have one in Bob Nelson’s favorite caliber that shoots the first 3 shots in 1/2”...

I don’t think any powder is manufactured in the USA. Canada, Eastern Europe and Australia are the only places I am aware of. Sadly now the biggest ammo manufacturers are being sold to foreign companies.

I’ve used a set of C&H dies in 243 for probably 50 years. Still working.

Yep I was a junior at East Texas State (A&M, Commerce now) and definitely lusted after her. I believe I recall her at the Louisville, Tx festival as well. Lovely lady! Thanks for the notice Red Leg. I wasn’t aware of her passing.

Pick up Dr Kevin Robertson’s pocket book, “The Perfect Shot”, showing where to aim on African game. A worthwhile pocket book in my opinion. Practicing off sticks is perfect! Learn to get a shot off within a few seconds and putting it in the right spot. You’ll have no problem using a quality 165...

TRIGGER TIME! What an exceptional learning experience!

I‘ll be waiting for a range report and hunt report!

Major Kahn, may you finally find peace.

I used permetherin before every safari and it seemed to work well. I also use it here in Colorado particularly in tick season (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever), but also for mosquitoes (West Nile virus). If there’s a mosquito within 100 yards, it seems to find me! I HATE MOSQUITOES!

Hmmm…I had to shoot one of my Hereford cows between the eyes with a .22 LR once. Does that count? LOL!!!

One of my 30-06s is a 1952 Model 70 Westerner I inherited from an uncle. 24” barrel and still shoots great as in under 5/8” groups with my handloads. A bit rough due to my old uncle horse packed into the Wimenuche in southern Colorado with a group of buds. I think they mostly got drunk and...

Envy! You are going to have a GRAND ADVENTURE! Any buffalo is a trophy especially your first! I’d have no issue taking a cow buff (better eating). May even be more difficult because they are always in big groups with more eyes watching.
