    Trophy / Taxidermy question

    Well I have been fortunate enough to make two plains games hunts in S. Africa. Three shoulder mounts and one pedestal mount in the living room. Two rugs on the floor, (zebra, wildebeest). Four euro mounts in the garage. Luv them all. Wife will not allow the the euro mounts in the house- says...

    Farm Attacks RSA and Kenya

    I’ve seen some recent photos of a couple of PH’s I recognize and they were wearing sidearms. They did not carry sidearms 4 years ago.

    Hillary Clinton

    I’m proud to finally hear a U.S. President openly state he puts America First. So nice to hear him tell our NATO Allies to step and increase the agreed upon spending on their defense.

    My Hats off to Hornady

    Mr. Dolan, would you please state specific actions you believe the NRA and we members should take. Also, please state what personal gun law ownership changes you believe the federal government should enact near term. Please be specific and concise as possible. (I promise to try and refrain from...

    My Hats off to Hornady

    Sure Mr. Dolan, huge numbers of Brits out for a day smoothboring with their high dollar doubles, just common folks. Probably not many $300 Mossberg owners in that crowd. (Probably not many $300 Mossbergs on the shelves of the local Walmart’s in the Kingdom.) But then again, I don’t know anyone...

    My Hats off to Hornady

    Yup, UK has it figured out for sure. And they are making it illegal to order a knife online to be shipped to a home address and the possession of acid in a public place.

    Gun control???

    Maybe They have never got out of the mentality of a feudal system, “Yes my lord, Anything you say my lord”. An unarmed citizenry is very easy to control.

    .22 WMR lever or pump?

    Maybe a Semi-auto Savage A22 Magnum. Some ammo out there 30 gn, advertised 2200 FPS. Probably less than $400. Just a thought - -

    Best .223 bullet for African small game?

    Hunting with Tootabi Hunting Safaris in 2015, my friend put the 223 barrel on his Blazer for the last couple of days. Shot a Blesbok and a Mountain Reedbuck. I don’t remember on the Blesbok, but I examined the Mountain Reedbuck. No hide damage to it. And there were two shots through the ribs...

    Interesting Article about the demographics of American Hunters and affect on conservation

    I turn 65 in September. I will be hunting. I hunt alone on public lands, so do a lot of walking. And it takes a lot of research to figure out the rules. Shot my first wild hog in January - tough drag, but made it. I plan on trying handgun hunting with my new/used Super Redhawk. And I need to buy...

    Help Me Choose a 1911 Pistol

    In 1988 when I bought my S&W5906 9mm, I was also looking at a Colt 1911 (of course 45acp) at the same gunshow. If I would have went with the 1911, that may have been the only handgun I ever bought since, (except for some 22 pistols). The 1911 in a 45acp is as close to a “do everything handgun”...

    Glock 43. Would have got the Ruger LC9s, but already had a Glock 19 for the nightstand and thought it best to stay with same style for EDC.

    Help Me Choose a 1911 Pistol

    I own several handguns. But never had a 1911. That has been a big mistake I plan on rectifying soon. I’m liking the new full size Ruger 1911 Target in 9mm Model 6759. Should be a little less than $800. This will be. Range gun —- not everyday carry. (I did shoot a guy’s new Kimber, yesterday ——-...

    SCI President Paul Babaz Speaks Out Against Calls For More Gun Control

    The liberal antis want virtually no guns. Senator Diane Feinstein “ if I had the votes, Mr & Mrs America turn them in”. I know what they want. I don’t need my wife’s permission to buy a gun and she does not need mine. Concealed Carry in my state require a detailed background check with...

    SCI President Paul Babaz Speaks Out Against Calls For More Gun Control

    The 2nd Amendment does not mention “hunting”. As to ARs, even though I trained with one in the Army, decades ago, I never saw the attraction to own one. Then I bought one a few years ago - my most fun and favorite gun to shoot. I just bought a AR pistol and just shot a wild hog with it. I know...

    Peregrine or TTSX - Lightweight 30-06

    I think Barnes recommends the 168 gn for 30-06 and the 165 gn for the 300 Win Mag. Has to do with the shape of the bullet, “ogive and stuff”.

    Zambia: Elephant kills 2 foreign tourists

    Sad. Clearly these two never read any of the old Safari journals. Some of the details on how elephants kill humans are horrific and very insightful — the details of “bringing a friend’s remains back in a pail” stick in my mind. Stay Clear Of Wild Elephants!

    Has someone here on AH who hunted Tiger in Vietnam?

    Yup one of my ROTC Instructors shot a tiger in Vietnam. I remember he wore a Ranger Tab. I saw the tiger hide in his house, so I believe him. I remembered his name and actually just found him on the internet. Heck, I also just remembered I went to his wedding, 197x.

    At least 50 dead, 200 wounded at shooting on Las Vegas Strip

    At least 50 dead, 200 wounded at shooting on Las Vegas Strip

    The demos are not going to settle for just an ATF “reversal”, they want a new law. (And we know how criminals always follow the law.) Our Repub reps are going to roll on this and pass a bill. It will contains more hooks to allow the ATF to write more restrictive rules. Diane Feinstein already...

    The shoulder carry

    I apologize if this is a high-jack, but this thread prompts a question about safety on bolt actions. I saw on a TV Africa hunting show hunters just raising and dropping the bolt handle as they began a stalk/closed on game, (looked odd to me). On many bolts, this cocks it. So, I asked my PH...

    A Question for Democrats (My Rant)

    A Question for Democrats (My Rant)

    A Question for Democrats (My Rant)

    How to reload a big game rifle

    I have shot my bolt action .22lr in a few local Steel Challenge matches. I bought a Ruger American 22 bolt action because it takes the 30 round magazines so I could shoot in the match. I use a low power scope. And I do this for the purpose of burning in muscle memory to reload and get back on...
