My wife and I are praying.

And as others have mentioned, loss of habitat. We grew up hunting the same farms my dad trapped since he was in the 3rd grade. All but one of those farms is now a development. Somewhat on that note, a somewhat amusing tale of an occurrence in one of those subdivisions. Fresh out of college, a...

One of my favorite hunts growing up. I was fortunate in the fact that all of our buddies ran beagles, and one of the had some field trial champs. Spent many winter days chasing cottontails, and for a spell, we had an annual trip to Drummond Island for snowshoes. Perhaps it’s due to the fact...

So long as the knife is packed away in a rifle case. Not to raise the alarm bells, but I myself have had too many stolen from my "regular" bags between here any Jo'berg, and have had many clients experience the same, as of late.

Typo I missed in my original post...my toddler daughter was distracting me, so I goofed it. At any rate, I meant to type "I can and do recommend..."

Helluva ‘buff, @PHIL B! Is it in your blood yet? Once you experience Africa once, you become infected. The fever dreams are only alleviated by going again. And again. And again.

Now Philliip, I KNOW you used more than the Weatherby!

Thanks for sharing! Can't go wrong with BoschNel and the crew!

I know this is a dated post, but I stumbled across BoschNel. First rate outfitter, with even better people. They are honest and have the utmost integrity…from up front pricing with no surprises to doing things the right way, nobody should have any qualms booking with these guys. I can’t echo...

Welcome to the group! I can’t echo that sentiment enough about the BoschNel team! Brendan is an upstanding, honest, and hardworking outfitter/PH. I’ve had the pleasure of hunting with his PH Richter van der Linden on several occasions. Those two wholly embody the term “professional hunter”, in...

Thank you for putting this together @Rare Breed. Have many balls up in the air at present, but I am going to make an effort to join for dinner. At any rate, thanks again, and looking forward to it!

Somebody PLEASE buy this rifle! This is an incredible price on a great CRF Mauser action. Same thing (parts interchangeable) as a Mark X Mauser, Interarms Whitworth, Remington 798, and by-in-large, the venerable Mauser 98.

I’m also a southpaw, and I LOVE the idea of a 7mm Mauser/.275 Rigby or a 6.5 Swede. Between the two, I’d opt for the 7mm, but either would be SWEET. I know it’s a long shot, but if you could get this worked out, I’d buy a lefty in either of those calibers, but would be open to others as well.

Definitely following and interested!

Used to date a girl down that way. Mostly becuase her dad had some good hunting ground down there HAHAHA. Welcome to the forum; I'm sure you'll find everything you need and then some here. I'm a little further east than you, by Watts Bar dam. If you ever want to talk safari, give the word! And...
