Without a doubt Dries Visser is my recommendation based on what you described you are looking for. You won't be disappointed! The place is set up for bowhunting and all the PH's are experienced in bowhunting.

Nothing fancy or allocated but a fun add to the collection. In honor of this 4th of July and 250th. The engraved bottle in the middle is Woodford Reserve.

Correct it has not been opened yet. I got it at Buffalo Trace when I toured back in April.

I really like Russel's reserve but any of the Wild Turkey products I am a fan of. The Old Fitz 7 is good.

Nothing crazy here just my little garage bar collection. Got into whiskey a couple of years ago and lean towards bourbon more now.

Hello AH forum friends, I am looking for any recommendations on a mountain lion outfitter. Looking for a 2 x 1 hunt with my dad maybe in 2028. Any help is appreciated from those of you with experience on mountain lion.

Spot and stalk with a bow was fun.

Has anyone done some of the bourbon trail tours in KY? I am taking my two son-in-laws there in April. We booked Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey tours but curious if others have experience or advice on must visit places while we are there.

Great question and thread! For me two things I would have done differently. First and foremost was to slow down and enjoy the experience. I got too caught up on getting my list of animlas. Slow down, take it all in, and take what the bush gives you. Basically just saying relax and enjoy the...

While we're at it. Another question, sorry suppressor is new to me. I'll ask the dealer when I pick it up too. I looked at and handled the suppressor and it looked to direct thread with a hex base which I assume is tightening. Do I thread it directly onto the barrel (barrel is already factory...

Thanks everyone for the quick feedback. This forum is the best for real world advice.

Well like a lot of people I purchased a suppressor after Jan. 1 to save the $200 tax. I now wait for it to go through the ATF to notify me I can pick it up from the dealer. So my question is...do I put a cover on it or not? The setup will be used for deer hunting if that matters on how one may...

I have the Barefoot African Ranger in buffalo hide. I wore them for 10 days straight for my 2025 safari and absolutely loved them. So quiet and comfortable. I wear them atleast once a week to work. I've spent 12-14 hour days in them at work. Only modification I made was put the jim green leather...

I have brought empties back twice (2022 & 2025) from SA to USA. I did not bring my own rifle or ammo. I used the PH's rifle and I brought a few empties back from animals I harvested in my checked luggage. Maybe I was just lucky but I had zero problems. This last time I went back home through Paris.

For me lately it's been bourbon. I'm not hunting or looking for allocated or super expensive stuff. I just like trying different stuff.
