    HUNGARY: Roe Deer On The Hungarian Plain And Mouflon Of The Bakony Mountains - Or, How I Came To Despise A Bolt Action Equipped With A Suppressor

    Some very fine roe deer there. Good job. An 8 inch suppressor is a LOT to add to a barrel. I've seen some closer to 6 inches. Then if you can start with a barrel length of 20 or maybe 22 inches they can be somewhat manageable. Thanks for your report. Sounds like a lot of fun. Bruce

    ZIMBABWE: Nhoro Safaris - Elephant Hunt Report

    Always tough to go all that way and not have a good shot opportunity. I am a little surprised at the lack of game in the area. Poaching? Seems like with that many hrs of travel you would see more. Hopefully you make it back to try again. Thanks for the report. Bruce

    SOUTH AFRICA: Waterberg District, Limpopo Province, RSA - April 2025

    I enjoyed reading your report. Too bad about the lost kudu. Giving up on a wounded animal hurts. Unfortunately that happens to all of us eventually if you hunt long enough. Congrats Bruce

    Gerenuk are a really cool animal. Most people have no clue what they are. Lessor kudu are beautiful in their own right. Hunt those that intrigue you. Good luck! Bruce

    Hi Jon. Nice rifles. Just an FYI the mod's are going to remove your phone number as soon as its noticed. Against the rules. You can give it to a prospective buyer via PM. Most folks are going to want to know the length of pull and about how many rounds have been fired through a rifle. On the...

    Kwanza Tarpon Trip

    Nice AJ's for sure. They put up a great fight. A couple of questions on the fishing. Obviously you were after big tarpon. When is considered the best time of year to go for them? Were there other saltwater species that were available? Sounds like an interesting place to go. Bruce

    Hunting license PER DAY. That seems like they are just flat stealing from you. I'd have a tough time letting that one pass. But I'm also cheap..... Bruce

    Powder & Primer Deals Today

    I had read on another forum about the Federal 215M in stock. They are not now. Midway does currently have 215's in stock. Discussions I have read indicate that the 215M is only different from the 215 in that there is some sort of additional inspection. Bruce

    On my MP hunt in Kyrg I was asked for tips for additional people supposedly in camp. I asked what they had done for me or the hunt. My assistant PH couldn't tell me so I told him no tip. Bullcrap IMHO. Bruce

    Has anyone else been injured while hunting away from home?

    I still remember falling several times on a slippery slope in New Zealand. Beginning of my knee problems. Tore one up and finished that hunt eating way too much tylenol. Had each knee scoped 2 times before the replacements..... Bruce

    "Stolen Valor" - in the hunting field/industry

    My last trip to Kyrg I was hunting Marco Polo sheep. I had lost a day due to airline screw ups. Then the hunt didn't go the way anyone wanted it to. On the second to the last day I missed a 500 yd shot. My guide was so disgusted he picked my rifle and shot 2 times at the running rams! The last...

    CANADA: Ontario Black Bear With Wells Creek Adventures

    I'll be back with them in 2025. I'll be in the 2nd group that they take. My understanding is that camp is rapidly filling up. I had some of the meat turned into jalepeno cheddar sticks. They are really good. Everyone loves them. Only had 10 lbs done that way. If I get a bear this year I'll do...

    How does african hunting work?

    If you spend a while looking at hunt reports many have talked about the process of selecting an outfitter/PH for a hunt and that would answer many of your questions. Like Brickburn says each country has their own regulations and in RSA each providence has their own. Bruce

    How long do you age meat?

    My dad would usually skin an animal and hang it where cool. The colder it was the longer he would allow it to hang. I still remember him smelling the the meat. He'd put his nose up very close between the quarters and taking a long sniff. He said when you got the first whif of mold it was ready...
