Fair argument while comparing it to a few things of each around my place. I guess it's like an aoudad, which gets called a sheep, but is more a goat with some sheep characteristics.

A few years back I got into an interesting discussion with a guy over his hunting trophies. He talked about having them passed to his kids and I told him I doubted that they'd take more than one or two tops.They are his trophies and unless his kids were on that hunt and involved they probably...

I have hunted both on various ranches and good herds of either can be quite cagey if they've had hunting pressure. This is a tough call, I like them both a lot. No joke, I'd probably flip a coin and not regret the outcome. If you can, make plans for the other next year.

Finally loaded.

Here's the boar from that trip. I suggest the Noonkester form for the best American boar forms.

I have no complaints. Blackbuck are a fine animal, but not large or fatty. I enjoyed all the meat I obtained from it.

Thank you. The last file/pic didn't want to load. Here ot is, of of the boar I took.

It took nearly two years, but my local taxidermist did my blackbuck proud. Here he is in my line of Exotics. He'd easily go in either the SCI gold or NA Rowland Ward book if I wanted to with straight measurement over 20", and around the curls breaking 30" . And here's the old American wild...

While I am currently reading 'Ghengis Khan and the making of the Modern World' by Jack Weatherford (which I do recommend) The one I'd recommend for those interested in Africa, that gets overlooked is this.

I have never had TSA care how may locks I put on my case, as long as I had locks. Either to Africa from Alaska or through Seattle, or back and forth to the Lower 48.Two locks and the Pelican and two plus locks on the clasps of my bow/rifle case if I use that. They always seemed happy. Each of...

Rental of an outfitters rifle there isn't an issue, it's done all the time, no license required. Your outfitter has one or more available, just ask. I used two different rifles of my PH's in the Eastern Cape on a hunt where I didn't want to bring mine. And on all of my other hunts I discussed...

For PG the 270 grain to me is a very viable option, I'd use it in my 375 Ruger if I didn't handload. While it's not a bonded bullet it's still a heck of a lot of bullet hitting a PG animal and it's built as well as many other cup and core bullets like Remington Core-Lokt and Speer Grand Slam...

I'm too practical to care about getting much more. I look, but I haven't bought anything since I picked up a new Thompson/Center Encore frame a couple years back for a new build. It included two barrels I wanted, a 25-06 and an inline muzzle loader. And... I have yet to use either. I will, but I...

Right now at least a walk in hunt for caribou off of the Dalton highway and probably a couple/few weekends trying to coax a moose out of the woodwork in a couple kinda missed nooks and crannies on the map I know of not far off the road. But I also have a list of drawing tags I have put in for...
