    Planning to hunt New Zealand

    The Australian fella who shot the Mosques up put an end to free & easy firearm movement, also free & reasonable firearm laws ! It is much much harder to hunt free range, actual wild born game animals in New Zealand then almost any foreign hunter realises because very few to none have actual...

    Who else got busted by the "point creep" ?

    I feel for you, the system in the US is very confusing for me. When I was much younger I put in for Montana & Idaho draws/points without success, later went in the South Dakota Custer Buffalo draw, - eligible for B&C - when I started it was very reasonable price for a Big Old Bull & you could...

    Ebola & Africa

    I know not really funny but that’s how it is. Have you heard the one about the babies in certain parts of Mozambique (I remember it as Moz) ? Terrible things happen world wide but in Africa it’s normalised !

    Ebola & Africa

    Oh this is so true & seems worse in the West of Africa. Many years back I was planning a trip to Congo-Brazzaville & doing research on DRC as flights were cheaper into Kinshasa, well there had been a spate of killings/burnings/hangings of Cock Thief’s I thought seems extreme for stealing...

    WJ Jeffery 6.5x54 MS

    Very nice rifle there, I have a Jeffery’s that is very similar, mine doesn’t have a scope mount or provision for one, sorry can’t help on that. We are very lucky to have @Huvius here, he has a lot of knowledge of fine old rifles & I think he has got it right on that scope mount/rings set up. I...

    Leopard Success Rates

    I’ll have to look into it, DCA is most likely residents & not exportable but I have seen them advertised on a different forum - of course this doesn’t mean they are legal. When I go into the area permit office & ask the guy he has told me there is permits but as said 3-5 for Limpopo, I had...

    Leopard Success Rates

    Why are you guys saying no Leopard hunting in SA ? I’m not there this year but I’m pretty sure there is Leopard quota, it never actually closed, there was a small quota & DCA permits issued, I know this as I took one (not exportable) there are a LOT of leopards (& large) in SA especially in the...

    Want To Sell Vintage Potatoe Sacks

    I had no idea there would be a market for such a thing but hell that Idaho Spud sack is cool & if you were local I’d be keen. I remember my Dad saying get to peeling those Idaho’s ! Back then I didn’t realise Idaho was the Potato State. Strangely I was after some African Coffee Bean sacks a...

    Is it possible to stop a buffalo charge with an arrow through the nose to brain?

    Sooo, I asked Tim (The Slock Master) & he said with “age comes wisdom” if this was to happen on our hunt he would be shouting “Shoot Sarg, Shoot !” With that I’d say possible but 99.9% of the time someone or more will be injured or killed & it is not recommended practice ! PS as a child Fred...

    Is it possible to stop a buffalo charge with an arrow through the nose to brain?

    The one I saw was not charging, I think he could do it on a Bear but we aren’t talking normal people/archers here, these guys were/are gifted !

    Is it possible to stop a buffalo charge with an arrow through the nose to brain?

    You reckon we could add the Buffalo’s 51 FPS towards arrow speed = 351 FPS ?

    Is it possible to stop a buffalo charge with an arrow through the nose to brain?

    I’ll ask my buddy Tim Wells, if anybody could it would be him, he head shots Brown Bears looking straight at him, flying birds, all too easy so moved on to Spear & blow guns (that’s a bit tongue & cheek) I have had at least two hunters who could shoot like that Bob Markworth & Tim Wells, might...

    Looking for SCI record book #10 Javan Rusa deer

    Congratulations, that’s a big bugger, must be 38-40+ with long times, was he rutting ? Back in my day 150 SCI was big. Sorry can’t help as don’t have the new book or web access. Could we see a pic of it please, as I’d love to see a monster like that ?

    22 or 6.5 Creedmore for Moose and Elk?

    Until just recently I wouldn’t have thought a 6.5 Manbun would be suitable for anything but Deer sized game, now Federal has released the +Peak ammunition in 6.5 Creedmore which equals or exceeds the .264 Winchester Mag I suppose Elk & maybe Moose are fair game for folks who like to shoot...
