    Helicopter Aoudad hunting in Tx

    The problem lies in that Texas had 1500 Bighorn and is now down to 500. Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae (M. ovi) the Aoudad are carriers and it kills Bighorns. At one time private landowner permits were available for the Bighorns. The folks that want Bighorn want the Aoudad gone and the ones selling...

    Flea and Tick Shampoo on Hunts?

    Well I have not used that in Africa, but years ago on some backpacking trips, it was useful. In Africa, I treat everything except underwear with Permethrin and use picaridin spray on my exposed skin and have had zero problems. I understand, some folks use a mixture of sunscreen and 100%...

    Anyone use 4 Stable Sticks

    I’ve took a set to Tanzania and used my 375. Worked great, better than my tripod set up. However, the tripod was better in heavy brush. I have the mountain version, which allows for use sitting and standing shooting.

    I see the fat cow, is still trying to stay relevant. She been trying to get the airlines to have fat people an extra "free" seat because they can't fit into the tiny coach seats. So everyone pays more so she can have an extra seat for "free." The cow just needs to pay for Business or First...

    If Carter would have taken care of business, we possibly would have not had this problem for the last 40 years. The bunker busters will have to used, or Iran will still be able to make a weapon, a position that untenable for the USA.

    I was at DSC in 2024 to meet Tanzanian outfitters and obtain prices and locations of their Concessions.

    How Long Did it Take for Your SCI Record Book Entries to Appear?

    That might because the Rowland Ward trophy has to be big and not many animals qualify, whereas SCI has Bronze, Silver and Gold. I prefer to have my animals in Rowland Ward.

    Best Quad Sticks

    I took a pair of the mountain 4 stable stick to Tanzania and my ASC tripod sticks. I used the 4 stable for almost every shot. And the mountain version is very height adjustable. I am sure the Blaser is better from the reviews I saw, but what I used worked fine.

    Looking for advice…

    I just flew the new Qsuite from IAH to Doha and it’s a great improvement over the old Qsuite that I am sitting in on Doha to IAH. I also had the new regular business class seat to and from Doha to JRO, a massive improvement from the old seat. In fact better than the old Qsuite seat.
