    Portable Gun Rack

    https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1014632727?pid=388361 Not a fold up one, but I have used these for temporary storage while going through and cleaning stuff in the gun safe. They used to go on sale for about $120 on midway and amazon often. For that price they have been a really nice way to...

    Ottea Taxidermy - San Antonio

    Does he now live in the US, or does he still PH in Namibia as well? Their page says her dad was also a taxidermist. Seems like a neat hunting family.

    Inconsistency and Hypocrisy in What Is Enough Gun for Large Animals

    I'm curious what makes people very against moderate sized calibers for hunting large animals, but the same people are ok with using a bow on those same animals? I'm speaking of any large animal, but it does seem extra odd in the case of animals like buffalo. A lot of people have voiced that...

    I missed

    Could you post a picture of what is going on with the lead so other people know what to look for if they come across it on that ammo as well? Thank you.

    Flying comfort plus?

    How does this work? I have never tried it, but am interested. But, I have noticed when seats aren't filled on the flights, the flights always seem to be overbooked and they fill the seat with a standby passenger.

    Deer Processing - 6 deer in the freezer

    The Carnivore is on sale at Cabela's today for $120-200 off depending on model. Also today (Monday) they have an extra 10% off for club members. It brings the price down quite a bit if a person is looking for a good time to buy it. Just wanted to give a heads up.

    Recommendations for a good 1X Base Magnification Thermal Monocular

    Recommendations for a good 1X Base Magnification Thermal Monocular WITH 640 or better sensor. Most of the monoculars I see with 640 or better sensors have a base magnification of 2X or 2.5X Are there any out there with nice sensor resolution and 1X base magnification? I like the 1X better...

    What, if anything, would you have done differently

    The cost to get animals home and taxidermied probably can't be overstated. It really can end up being 2X or more the cost of your safari hunt price on a large PG hunt. So, you could likely go multiple times again if you just skipped it altogether. However, I don't regret doing it necessarily...

    Gun safe recommendation

    This video seems like the lowest IQ version of a "comparison" I have seen. Let's take a look at a $26,000+ safe that weighs 5400lbs and "compare" it to a sub $2,000 RSC that weighs 600lbs. Then they don't even demonstrate all their claims they make about being able to pry into it super easy...

    DIY hunting in the USA, suggestions where to go?

    I would say that you are biting off a big chunk that is going to be hard to chew. Not saying not to do some version of your plan. But the plan to hunt as much as possible all over the US in an RV as a person from another country DIY might be a lot to digest. Every state has so many...

    First Bowhunt to Africa

    If you haven't noticed already, there will be some difference of opinion in when the best time to go is. Because some of it comes down to personal preference. Sort of like asking someone what their favorite season is (Spring,Fall, etc). The bulk of "hunting season" is their winter months...

    Professional filming of safari. Price?

    These are all very good points. I don't disagree with anything you said.

    Professional filming of safari. Price?

    (@Mark A Ouellette this isn't directed at you, just using your comment because it shows the extra fees to take into account as well) I feel like this is where it gets so much more expensive for a dedicated filming company. A lot of outfitters that have people that film hunts are about the...

    Has Anyone Hunted With John X Safaris? Watched Their Youtube Videos?

    I think we likely likely agree on 90-95% of this with a 5-10% difference in opinion on interpretation. I also don't mind the idea of somewhat higher prices for higher quality animals at outfitters who can actually produce those higher quality animals. I just feel like he was painting with a...

    Professional filming of safari. Price?

    I have seen some outfitters offer the service. The ones I have seen seem to list prices between $3,000-$5,000 for a 10 day safari. When I looked up companies that exclusively film, the rates were higher than that, in part because they had in their contracts that you had to pay for their stay...
