What a nice first world problem to ponder. Fun stuff. +1 on the fact if your ammo does not show up you will not be shooting your rifle as it will be impossible to find ammo pretty much. That said, to answer your question, Id go with Barnes TTSX as I have used it on game with great success and...

We had pepper ticks on us at the end of each day in Limpopo last year, almost every day. At the PH's advice, we would take a damp washcloth and rub them out every evening. It worked, although I know that does not work with some other type ticks I have had such as the ones in S. Texas (much...

What taxidermist did it?

Thank you sir. I will reach out at the right time. Your whole set up there looks great and I love the hacienda style. And of course more hunting so it will always somewhat be a work in progress!

John - Sorry if I missed it but what is the projected date you think this will finished? I have had the Reserve Ranch on a short list to potentially take my son hunting as we can drive there in about 4 hours and obviously be ideal when the room is up and running. Please let me know. Cheers

I hunted there in December 2023, hunt report on AH. We got two Ibex (Gredos), a Fallow and a Mouflon. Killed days between xmas and New years. My trophies are pending arrival to Houston literally any day as they left Spain already. I am using Trophy Shippers. These were dip and pack only so now...

OK, to follow up. I have my two Chamois shoulder mounts hanging on the wall now. It was 2167USD for taxidermy and shipping to Houston. 1010USD to clear into Houston. 3167 total. Aint cheap but always nice to succesfully bookend a great hunt. From the Italian Alps to my wall.

Thanks Gizmo. The pic below has the items I was thinking of putting in a shadow box or something like you did. I have some pics to go along with it, probably the one of him with the elephant he shot, and a possibly the lion one too. Fun bit also is I have a bunch of the papework from this...

Thank you. I have some loose tusks from a hunt my grandfather did in Tanzania in 1968 and want to do something with them like that. Cheers

What did you use to affix the tusks to the wood?

Welcome aboard and go ahead fire away w questions, stories, comments, etc... All are here to help!

Round specific: They are dedicated to one specific round so some dont like that. Different round, your custom dial will not be accurate with it. Though as some point out, you can try it with a similarly ballistic round but I would personally not do so when hunting. Elevation: Changes in...

https://www.safariarms.com/services Call Safari Arms. They should able to load what you want. I had them load some 500/465NE. They are helpful to talk things through with you on what you are trying to accomplish, how to choose best load, etc...

I have a Tikka T3 that Hill Country Rifles changed from a 300 Win Mag to a 7MM PRC. I hade them put a 20" barrel on it and love it. Killed a Nilgai with it at 248 yards on Monday at the King Ranch shooting a 160 grain Hornady CX round, 1 shot. It wears a Leupold VX 5. See below. I bet you will...
