That’s a pair of extremely nice Crocs, so really the 15+ footer is closer to a 16 footer which is really something, I personally wouldn’t add on a tail tip & he should have the dimensions of a huge croc, by rights his skull should dwarf the 14+ footer ? My 14+ footer is huge compared to my 12+...

Not sure if it’s common knowledge but Australia has been struggling with “Radical Islam” for over 110yrs when a couple of ex Camel handlers, turned Ice Cream Man & a Bucther in 1915 shot up the Picnic train ? Mass murder weapons of the day, a pair of single shots in .577S - 577/450 - Snider &...

I have one, still in Australia (I suppose that will have to go soon) shot a Leopard & a few other animals in Namibia with it, super bluing & ultra thin light barrel, mine has the black plastic stock as I found the wood stocks a crap shoot ! I’d like a .458Win, especially in the Stainless Steel...

Of course easy to kill as well, all chest shots .375 H&H 300gr slugs & unaware of anybody.

This is a harmless Water Buffalo in the NT of Australia on one of our competitors concessions, next to ours !

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again !

I lived in Tassie for a bit, cold place & similar to the SI of NZ but the Fresh & Saltwater fishing is far Superior in New Zealand !

Wow some of those an extra huge & even need two ear tags ! A lot is blood line, Fallow are one of my passions & max in NZ was in the 240DS scale - this is Douglas Score bit like the US Boone & Crockett scoring system. Some areas:herds couldn’t even make the minimum score for our Record book...

Many years ago one of my clients from Alaska loved Meat Pies & Ginger Beer, so much so he bought a ton of pie dishes & sent his son back to New Zealand to work in a Bakery to learn the Pie Baking business then started up a Pie Bakery in the US - well it didn’t work as it seems Americans in...

Always liked the look of the Laminated Guide Gun, other than the stupid butt & recoil pad fitment, love one in .458Win. I had a Ruger Alaskan in .416 & it really was crap, so close to a great working rifle but not. First thing I did was load up magazine, put one in chamber & work action as...

I had several BSA & Lee Speed sporter projects on the go & told Garry I was doing a .405Win on a BSA Metford action after researching the 40/60 Maynard (.410 on a 303 Brit or 30/40Krag case) & .405 Grenadier which is the 7.62x54R opened up to .410, good round by all accounts, I do like the idea...

Nice rifle, be great if you can have the scope low to go with the low bolt lift & not have shells bounce back into the action ? I love the Sakos all but don’t believe any new models are DG rifles. Strangely we have them with the picatinny/weaver base built in.

Sorry can’t help on loads & such but I also read the same stuff years ago when I was debating what to chamber in one of my Lee Speeds, it is a grunty cartridge the 416 Strausse in a strong action but I went with a .400 caliber, looked hard at the 40/60 Maynard but listed loads are light for that...

Nice, I’d love one of them, 29in to 30in ? Look a bit out of place on the flat & near a feeder !

Nice to have you here @WR Thomson, I have read a lot of your writings over the years. Still have this in my archives from my days in Zim, has a couple articles on the Black Rhino the real member of the Big 5, not sure if you wrote them or not but I suspect you were there ?
