Welcome sir!

That hairless is scary! I apologize if I have put this up before-BUT since you asked-my dearly deceased chessie “Riggs” and the next pic from last weekend is Judge the chessie and Rossi the lab. Both had a long cold day!

No but if Tesla made a motorcycle. . .

I was surprised in South Africa the “crew” had nicer knives than I did as well as good coats and boots and things. Cash was king but I’m sure they can move gifts to kids or just trade/sell it. We took a dozen of those cabelas multi tools and they were the only thing that got stolen from my...

Love the pix of your trophies-the Guenthers are very cool looking-I hope you have a great taxidermist! Glad you made the trip happen, have dreamt of Uganda since I found out about it-

Didn’t Francis Macomber’s wife buy him a new rifle and increase his life insurance before they went after lion? Just kidding of course, glad you found an exciting rifle and a wife that is a whole level above it!

I agree Meet and Greet. There is something comforting when getting off the plane after that loooong flight and seeing a smiling human holding a sign with your name on it. Follow that guy through the diplomat line while feeling sad for all the people waiting in the cattle chute. Escorts you to...

Lots of Africa available for the common folk but it does take some time and planning. It is worth it! I hope you make your dreams come true-this site is full of enablers and good advice!

I don’t know about clothes but would caution you on the weight of your luggage. Make sure you know what is allowed per your airline and that includes ammunition. No need to overpack, taking too much is a common first timer mistake.

Outstanding hunt and wonderful trophies. Thanks for the report and all the pictures!

I’ve hunted turkeys in Sheridan-really a lovely place. Can’t remember exactly but I think it snowed on us then in May.. .

Any of the classic authors Capstick, Roosevelt. Hemingway, Bell, Ruark, are good reading. One by Peter Barrett is a personal favorite. Newer books by Kevin Thomas, Kevin Robertson (look in addition to and beyond the perfect shot book!) Walt Prothero, Buzz Charltons book was a fun read. Craig...

I had a bear on an elk carcass (trail cameras) once that would come every day just to eat the maggots. After 4-5 days of maggot eating he and another bear finally starting into the meat. Sorry for the derail, but it loosely fit

Or is it just Inbreeding?!

The replicas are Amazing!

Google search brought it right up

8 inches new snow and more to come at my house in the valley. Ski resorts getting their abundance. Supposed to get to mid teens F. When this wave moves on. Bills vs Steelers postponed until Monday. A buddy of mine spent 12 days in Alaska hunting ducks and only got to hunt two days due to...

When my wife got one of her degrees her wish was to go to Boston and watch the Red Sox play. We did the duck boats and the aquarium and the firefighter museum, ate at mcgrievies and visited some parks and Harvard. We even did the tea party tour. We did the Fenway stadium tour and her mother...

Not a marketing ploy if the shelves are already bare. . .

They are srill planning and plotting. Fenway is the main draw. I think they are trying to see which teams are playing where during that week. I’ll pass your info along and see if they have interest-thanks for the response!

Beautiful craftsmanship, welcome to the group

Welcome to the forums, good luck finding ammo. The 16 gauge part should get Plenty of use

Never judge taxidermy by the photos but it looks from here like they did a great job. When they get the finish work and painting completed he will be amazing.

Daisy dukes and banjos, don’t forget the banjos-

I remember Andy Ross shot a wild fighting bull with his bow in Mexico or Texas. It was also pretty crazy. I would be happy just to hunt Cape buffalo, no need for the rarer opportunities

Longhorn my friend raised and had mounted. It hangs ina tack store but they display it on the side of a trailer at rodeos and such as advertising. Not hunted to my knowledge but it seemed to fit on the border of this conversation

I think it was Rinella that hunted a wild old beef cow in Hawaii-it was surprisingly interesting.

Kevin Robertson wrote a pretty good tale about hunting an old beef cow on his farm with a double rifle. I might be getting facts mixed up but I think that is correct. Friend of mine killed a wood bison in Alaska which was not for the faint of heart. I think tags were hard to acquire If you...

Fun time of year to plan and hope with crossed fingers. Good luck and thanks for joining

Or add to it after you finish the South African antelope slam. They have lots of options!

As of 20:21 he was still posting on here trying to sell guns. The rest is history. 19 trips to Namibia he had so much to offer. . . I will miss that person, and yes I was rude, and it made me laugh so I guess I am a sociopath as well

If you are a real person then post pictures or make some sort of attempt at proving who you are and what you have. You have jumped into the shark tank, now make yiur way out.

I’m for real!

Chukar hunting was pretty good this weekend. Wise birds have seen lots of pressure but we scratched down a couple. The Brittney pointing on the ridge top is Murphy. I started him then he went home with my nephew The nephew took these pix-

Thanks for the background on yourself and welcome to the group. I got my start in hunting birds as well but big game sucked me in and then Africa got ahold of me. It is wonderful hunting with untold options and opportunities. I hope you get a trip planned and fill a photo book with page after...

i read an article about Oscar Pistorius release somewhere yesterday and it wasn’t important until right now!

Some of the best sketches SNL ever came up with-lmfao! At least that’s what your mother said. . .

Daughter’s high school graduation and she has chosen to do a baseball park tour on the east coast. I am thinking to surprise her with some fishing off cape cod or thereabouts. Can anyone make recommendations for me. I am not going but sending my wife instead. Would like to have appropriate...

I completed my slam hunting with Wik and had a wonderful time. Kudu and bushbuck in the thick spekboom is some of my favorite hunting anywhere! This is a great opportunity and some excellent hunting and trophy memories. My first African animal was a nyala-that was spot and stalk at its finest.

Welcome from Utah-sounds like we have a bit in common. I also have a hunt booked for 2025, going back for a third time. It gets into your soul and just keeps calling you back!

Welcome to the posting side!

I have a bunch of 7stw, if you haven’t found some you can pm me

I like your plan but would tweak it a bit. Go see the migration with the other tourists and fill your heart mind, soul and a photo book with memories. Then go visit Vic falls on your way to South Africa or namibia. Find a ph that will help you shoot cool guinees and francolin and doves and...

Great hunt-thank you for the write up and photos

Hi Rusty, welcome to the site!

Welcome

Country concert season is just around the corner!

Have been happily remembering crazy rainstorms during the night in July and several times dense mist in the morning. The animals would be out in profusion late into the next morning standing in the sun trying to warm and dry themselves. Great memories!
