Blue wildebeest was my first animal in Africa. Terrific all day effort with success coming just before sunset. Fortunately one shot with 30-06 shooting swift a-frame did the trick cleanly. Totally surprised by how beautiful they are in person. Nature documentaries do not do them justice...

They are excellent hunting dogs and family companions as everyone else has said. The versatile breeds can do everything. I’ve owned a GWP, GSP, and currently have a Griffon. 2d GSP likely coming next year. Despite being thinly haired, my GSP was a waterfowling fiend in addition to regular upland...

Same. I like SxS’s. I currently have a Bobwhite and a Sharptail. I’ve owned some of their O/U’s. All have been great field guns.

Couldn’t have said it better. Longtime Tikka owner. Never have had an issue with their magazine. I have had issues with stamped metal magazines from other manufacturers.

This describes things perfectly for me.

I can’t speak to hunting options, but I lived in Perth for 7 months for school long ago. Being up in Karratha, you really should take time to see and experience Ningaloo Reef if you are up for snorkeling or scuba diving. East of where you’ll be you have the whole Kimberly region beginning in...

I have 3 pairs of Jim Green footwear now. I started with Barefoot African Troopers for my SA hunt this past year. I love them. Maybe not for everyone with no sole heal lift. Great foot articulation for quiet stalking. Great all day walking comfort. The single layer, unlined leather provides...
