    Shooting from sticks

    I use the Gunstix like Woodcarver. Longest shot so far has been an oryx at 287 yards. They have been a game changer for me!

    Get experience first? Or, hunt dangerous game right away?

    I never understood the credo of 'do PG first'! Seems like shooting off of sticks is the biggest thing most hunters have not done beforehand, but can certainly be practiced before a safari, whether it be PG or DG.

    Roger Green rifles

    He was established in Glenrock, WY. for quite a few years. Always good things said about him. My hunting friend has a .375 H&H that Roger built. Took it along to Alaska in 2023 on a brown bear hunt. Nice rifle.

    Wanted Remington 541 Curly Maple

    I have a 541S from the early ‘80’s so never paid much attention after that!

    Gauging Interest: Group Hunt for Big Game, Pheasants and Big Bore Shoot at the Rockin G Ranch

    I did the AH group bird hunt in February, 2025 and had a great time. I probably would not do big game, but would do birds, hogs and may do the big bore. February was a good timeframe.

    Warning for UPS shippers/packaging info

    Run over by a forklift is the most common method. The OP's experience is why I primarily try to do face to face deals.

    For Sale Hill Country Safari 416 Remington rifle

    Ok I’m confused. Why does the photo of the cheek piece part of the stock look like it’s for a left hand shooter?

    Price Increase Question

    I agree with the others, eat the deposit. I ate a $1200 deposit in 2021 due to Covid shenanigans in Canada. Paid it before Covid and although we could have still done the hunt (waterfowl), the hoops to jump through instigated by the Canadian government made us say 'forget it'. I never lost a...

    White Sands NM Oryx-Any Experiences Good or Bad

    After trying to draw a tag for years I gave up and started hunting private land with an outfitter. Outstanding hunts the past 3 years and am booked again for November. Nice to have virtually no pressure and the ability to see many animals to find one I like. Realize it may not be everyone’s cup...

    two firearms added at a small gun show, ruger #1 rifle- ithaca mag 10 shotgun.

    Good snag on the Mag 10. I've been trying to find a reasonably priced Mag. 10 or Rem. SP-10 (basically the same gun, I know). Don't really need one, but unfortunately the finish line is closer than the starting line for me and I've never owned a 10 ga. My hesitation is twofold-first, not sure...
