    New Botswana Hunting Quota Propose Lions & Year-Round Elephant Hunting

    Sorry to hear of your friend & how it has effected you also. Just today they buried one of my friends killed in a helicopter hunting/culling accident, the circumstances of that crash were very similar to one I experienced also ! I was also in Alaska for some months, flew a lot around the State...

    Unusual Trophies

    This is funny & fun fact the Black Bear Baculum is near double the size of Grizzly-Brown Bears. But if hunting for a trophy Baculum - Oosik or Cock Bone, you would do well to hunt Walrus ! Of course pales in comparison to extinct species of Walrus.

    Montana Rifle Company TSAVO in .375 H&H - Shooting!!!

    This looks like a fine rifle, how do the older 1999 Montana Rifles compare do you think ? My buddy has a bunch of them to move on cheap from a Gun shop closing down, all models calibers, one is a 7mm Rem mag & I was eyeing it up to build another .458Win, a couple of visual things I don’t like...

    Samsung SmartTag2 - Has anyone tried these?

    I bought some cheap ones just to test on my trip to Guinea Bissau as I had so many planes & such to catch. Just RSH Smart Tags only cost NZ $24 for 4 off aliexpress . They were absolutely fantastic & worked amazingly, it was great piece of mind to check & see the bags were loaded on multiple...

    Whose hunted giraffe and is it a spot, walk up, and shoot type hunt?

    Well we/I have done a few Giraffe hunts with clients, all have been spot stalk & mostly Bulls & those are most times a problem animal, ie busting up fences or starting to breed over his own progeny, so a specific animal is hunted, it can be very difficult once they suspect you are interested in...

    Siamese Mauser or P14 action for 450/400

    I’m not a cartridge engineer but all things considered. This also from your Net ! “Rimmed cartridge cases are generally considered inherently stronger at the base than otherwise-identical rimless cases . This is due to the added structural integrity (or "hoop strength") provided by the solid...

    How long can you wait to mount something?

    Whole animals, birds & fish kept in the freezer are best done as soon as you can, as mentioned freezer burn will make it difficult to clean up nicely, Capes & skins arent nearly as bad & mine have lasted many years before being done. Lots of people I know actually use their freezers as Quasi...

    Siamese Mauser or P14 action for 450/400

    That would be the complete opposite actually, as the extractor groove weakens a case slightly or at least a case without a groove would have more strength. It is a coincidence that most lower pressure cartridges are rimmed & are used in a lot of older designed actions or made of lesser steel...
