Haha - me too. I was being a little tongue-in-cheek with my list. The Troll Hunter was almost a comedy but it does portray hunters and not in a terribly bad light. The Clint Eastwood movie is 100% Africa but horribly frustrating. I should have included "Savannah" which is 100% about duck...

Here's a couple that I have seen but they weren't mentioned in this thread... White Hunter Black Heart - Clint Eastwood The Hunter - Willem Dafoe Spirit of a Sheep Hunter - Youtube - Billy Molls The Man Who Killed Hitler and then The Bigfoot...Sam Elliot Troll Hunter - Norwegian found footage

Although it didn't go as well as it could have, it is still a way, way better death for the elephant than anything "natural" unless it got hit by a meteor or fell off of a high, rocky cliff...

Gun hunting a Buffalo with Mark Sullivan is like bow hunting a buffalo with anyone else...there's a darn good chance that your PH is going to shoot your buffalo at least twice...

In his Heym video, Sullivan clearly says that less than 5% of wounded buffalo will charge. I would love to go on a buffalo hunt with Mark Sullivan but I would have completely different expectations than if I buffalo hunted with anyone else. Like Sullivan says, if someone calls BS on him, he...

Agree - I'd certainly focus on the Florida and maybe Georgia tanneries just because they all have massive experiences with alligators.

I completely understand your view point so I really can't argue with it. I gun hunt whitetail with a 1.5x to 5x scope and a gun that can't shoot much beyond 150 yards. At some point, without the 600 yard gun "hunter" to defend me, the antis will eventually come for me, the guy that gun...

So, it's a delicate balance between "self-policing" (which I agree with) and creating an exploitable seam in our ranks that can be used by the anti-hunter movement (which I don't agree with). All in all, I'd rather put up with "hunters" shooting game at 600 yards and CBL "hunts" than give the...

I'm guessing manatees but it's a guess so I curious too.

I'm a hunter and serious birder (bird watcher). Back in 2020, I bought a set of Zeiss 8x25 Terra EDs to keep handy. I have fallen in love with them. I use them for everything now. They are only around $400 but wow.

Right after my first breakfast in Africa, the PH and I jumped in the truck to go sight my rifle. Even before we got to the "range" he told me in no uncertain terms, "we don't shoot from the truck". I thanked him and said, "neither do I". We had a very fun spot-and-stalk safari...

So, I've been wanting a .410 mostly for rail hunting but already have the vision that it will go to my granddaughter at the right time. BTW - I've already gotten her a lifetime hunting/fishing license so she's already licensed to kill. Long story short, I got her the gun in the photo. My...

The only reason I don't have a Ruger No. 1 in .25-06 or .280 Remington is because I never ran across one during the 5 or 6 years that I was smitten with the idea. This was really before the pervasive Internet so finding a particular gun meant a lot of phone calls and stopping at every gun and...

Agreed. Some of the most memorable days of my life were spent with them.

This may sound too intense, but in the outdoors in an open concrete area, safely go over the case with a hand torch. This will burn off some of the petroleum-based mold releasing agents and smooth out some of the micro flaws in the case giving it a smoother surface area. Haha - This thread...
