way up north in bayfield county. most likely in a tree. hoping to arrow him but if he hangs up in the brush he will get the business end ( barnes vortx 180 gr) of my trusty ol 742

Ok, hoping to get my first ever black bear "Ursus americanis" in 3 weeks. Do you recommend going right up the front leg or aiming a little back with a bow? Where would you shoot with a .30-06? High shoulder and try to anchor him? I am a little concerned that I will shoot too far back due to the...

Thank you very much blackdog! Your info and insight is greatly appreciated and very helpful. Was your ph a member of Namibia's PH group (whatever PHASA would be for Namibia)? I'm struggling with how to tell if the guy is high quality and ethical. I am not willing to gamble on a ph who is either...

I think this might be more about her "...hunting Americans" than her hunting. Either way, they just want free publicity guys. see the worm on the hook and swim away.

next time hold the trophies out at arms length from you. it will make a 6 in bluegill into a 10 incher. Trust me :)

Gentleman, ladies, and other non-trolls, One of the outfits I am still considering has a non PHASA listed PH. Should this be a red flag for me? Is this an indication of a poor quality pro or am I making a baobobtree out of a twig (hey-an African euphamism)? What exactly is the role of the ph...

Was this a cull hunt or a special non trophy hunt? How much was dip&ship?

Its sad that for all the good our self-imposed taxes do, that we can't find one to educate these poor misguided people. $25 stamp for ducks, $15 for pheasants, can we get an "idiot removal" stamp? $10 to teach them facts. Even if they don't hunt at least they'll understand the things Pittman...

In defense of Mr. Spielberg, that triceratop was determined by ethnobotanist Lara Linney to have eaten poisoned berries, and recovered later! Just saying. Tiss GO BUCKY!

I'm thinking of gettin a leupold vx2. do you still have some for sale?

I think we have a consensus! Bullet composition and shot placement are the things PH's worry about. Good to know. CAustin- you might still need that .416 because the article didn't mention country-specific minimum calibers. If I were a judge, my gavel would be striking and the words "case...

Sir, You are using the term "extinct" incorrectly in the 2nd paragraph. An animal is extinct ONLY when none exist anywhere. The term for when one area of suitable habitat is devoid of a certain species is "locally extirpated". We must be very careful that we use the correct terminology or else...

- No automatic, semi-automatic, lever action or slide action firearms are allowed. A semi-automatic shotgun for hunting purposes may be allowed if an application is made and granted through the Central Firearms Register at least 21 days prior to your arrival. quoted from "hunting Africa by...

Pheroze- I read on the page for "hunt S.A" on this site that you can ONLY bring bolt actions. It broke my heart because I to was going to bring my beloved 742 woodsmaster and her big brother the BAR .340 (who would go to Alaska with me). Now I must postpone my trip until 2016 at the earliest so...

So I guess I will take cash or traveler's checks. Is that better?
