Never is a pretty long time......:cautious:. However, I would be hard pressed to sell three of my rifles: A Winchester 94 in .30/30, an Interarms Mk X Viscount in .30-06, and a CVA St. Louis Hawken in .54 caliber. The Winchester was a Christmas gift from my parents in 1976 (bicentenial year)...

I've always wondered if zebra hide would be as good (or better) than horse hide for leather holsters..........holster makers can't get horse hide anymore, and I have a Bianchi horse hide holster for my Colt Trooper Mk III and a Milt Sparks summer special for one of my 1911's. The hide is much...

Hmmmm.......wonder if he had some dirt on the Clintons?

The one that bugs me the most? "Tactical"......."tactical" this; "tactical" that......what, pray tell, makes it "tactical" (other than a cool marketing ploy)? ......and I really dislike "long range hunting"; I was under the impression that the duty of a hunter was to get as close to the...

Elephant.......unless it was trying to stomp me into the ground. Just think that they are cool animals and I can't bring myself to harm one. Now Zebras, on the other hand...........I got bit by a horse as a child, and somebody's got to pay!!!!:D;)

Well......guess I'll just quit reading then.

You might want to factor in buffalo charges and such.........the world can turn to shit in an instant! Best to have and not need than to need and not have.;) From what I've read, "normal" buffalo hunting scenarios often have some type of charge involved.

The hair may be brittle, but the hide makes the best moccasins!!!!!(y)

Sounds like the idiots who live trap feral cats and then neuter them and then turn them back into the wild.......to spread diseases and prey on the local bird population, get into garbage and rip it up, etc.(n):(o_O Common sense isn't so common any more......................................:cry:

I disagree that game farms are the only culprits......if you look at those "antler growth blocks", they contain animal proteins......"mad cow" disease was spread by feeding ground up beef parts to cattle as a source of (cheap) protein. Both mad cow and CWD are spongiform enchephalopathys; they...

Bring it home......lot's of "smoke and mirrors" with SA taxidermy; and as previously stated, you can complain, but you won't be able to (cheaply) send it back to make it right. If I ever get to go back, I won't make the same mistake twice.

Well, that explains congress........................

I would guess that if I were driving a visually impaired person through a drive through, I could READ them the menu, and a braille menu would not be needed.......unless, of course, the driver couldn't read.....and in that case the braille sign would be moot as well.

Never noticed that on the ATM machine (probably because I don't use them), but I did notice a sign at the local Wendy's drive through.......said "Braille menu available upon request". I always wondered who the hell that sign (in a drive through) was for!!!!

"LIAM URRY SAFARIS"

I was considering an 8mm Rem. mag; was enamored with the gun/cartridge when it was first introduced back in the 1980's; fast forward about 40 years......thought about getting something "bigger" than my .30-06 and again started thinking 8mm magnum. Did some research.......not much available in...

Way too cool!!!!(y)

Welcome from another S.E. Michigander (Troy).

It might be a local thing.......the one by my house does not; there was a blurb in the paper about it a few years back, saying how they didn't want to attract an "undesirable element" or some such nonsense. Or maybe they've changed their policy and decided that hunters/gun owners $$$ are just...

I'm sure that those folks running around in the tan vests at Cabela's aren't there "for fun".......they are trying to make a living as well as those who own small business.........I guess I have to draw the line at "what does the store/company do for me as an outdoorsman?" Do they decide to...

I crimp for lever guns, for obvious reasons......the recoil can push bullets deeper in the case, causing jams, inaccuracy etc. I also crimp any heavy recoiling handgun round......nothing worse that trying to cock the hammer on a DA .44 magnum and not having the cylinder turn.....because the...

I sure hope so.......and I hope that I was part of the problem by boycotting them because of their stupid arse politics!

How do you keep the water from spilling out of the bathtub when it's like that?;):D

Used to wait for the Cabela's and Gander Mountain catalogs with great anticipation........like a kid going through the montgomery wards Christmas catalog! Then when Cabela's opened their retail store in Mitchell, SD, we just had to make a pilgrimage there.................... Fast forward...

not yet, but I do understand the need for that.

Outfitter inquiry..... Does anyone have any experience with an outfitter called "Mount Carmel Safaris" owned and operated by an Andries Van Zyl in the Northern Cape? Please shoot me a PM if you don't wish to openly post here.......asking for a friend who has a chance to hunt with them. Thanks.

Just wondering if it was allowed, either entering SA or entering back in the States. Each hunter has 1 rifle, but it is a double rifle case. Or would the owner of each rifle have to have their own seperate case? Forgive me if it seems like a stupid question, but with all the changes going on...

Does anyone know if this applies to rifle cases, such as the Pelicans, as well?

First, semiautos........then handguns......then lever actions......then bolt actions (because they are 'sniper rifles, don't yah know)......then.......??????? (in case you haven't figured it out yet, it's slavery). The purpose of the second amendment has nothing to do with "hunting", but...

Haven't seen anyone blame Trump (yet), but AOC is blaming the NRA :rolleyes::confused:........that broad should be a poster child for prophylactics.....(n) https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/aoc-rips-nra-after-new-zealand-mosque-shootings-what-good-are-your-thoughts-and-prayers

Add me to the list of having a (very) poor experience with Highveld.........won't ever do it again.(n)

Guess I'm "old school"......don't hunt doves (always wanted to), but I've found my Remington model 11 (looks like a browning A5) handy for ducks, pheasants, grouse, quail, woodcock, and chukars. I also have a Remington model 1100........very dependable; would suggest if you want more...

However, I do think that the antivaxxers have an essential oil for that.............................:whistle:;):LOL:

I won't try and talk you into a .375 H&H, but that is what I ended up getting......for practical purposes. I had found a great deal on a CZ550 in .416 Rigby; did my research as far as reloading.....most of the powders listed I already used.(y) Then I went to a local gun shop that supposedly...

venison, upland game birds (pheasant, grouse, quail), duck, rabbit, walleye, bluegill, perch, and salmon. Best tasting venison I've ever had was moose. Best I tasted in Africa was wildebeest (so far;))

Not so much talk of bullets when I was younger (born in '61), but more so of cartridges.......remember my grandfather and uncles talking (over Pabst Blue ribbon beer) about how some cartridges, such as the .30-06, where "too powerful" for deer (whitetails). Deer cartridges needed heavy, slow...

Both are poster children for prophylactics.

Happens all the time where I work. I just started in my new position 6 months ago.......used to be that you would spend your time on break talking and getting know about your coworkers, their families, their likes, etc. Now the break room is utter silence except for the clicking of key pads...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I think I am done with trophy mounts. I'm sorta kinda in the same boat......wife doesn't want them in certain areas of the house (and I'm fine with that; it's our home, not the Smithsonian). My mounts are in my (small) home office and the basement......so...

1.) Browning Hi-Power 9mm 2.) Cabela's Blue Ridge flintlock muzzleloader in .54 caliber 3.) .303 Enfield That's the short list............;)

Wanted to get out and hunt some myself this year.....want to get one to make a coon skin cap (I like traditional muzzleloading/primative skills.....made my own moccasins, bullet bags, gun sleeves for my traditional ML firearms, etc). Weather, job, chores, etc. conspired against me.......our...

No one has a pellet gun because it's California......they don't even allow water pistols! So this squirrels "reign of terror" will continue..........and he will give the man eaters of Tsavo a run for their money!:whistle:

I used a .30-06 for my only hunt in Africa; I used a 200 grain Nosler partition.....the reason being that bullet/load (H414) shot a 1/4 " group at 100 yards consistently over 30 years of playing with it. Farthest shot was a Kudu bull at 300 yards.......one shot kill. I wouldn't hesitate to use...

Welcome!

Too much time.....too little brain matter.:rolleyes:

(y)

As was previously stated, no semiautos in Africa.

I was told to take the taxidermy down as well by a realator......but we were also told to remove personal photos/pictures, wall paper, knickknacks, etc. I don't think it has anything to do with antihunting, per se, but rather to make the rooms look "bigger" and less "homey".....hence the...

For me, it's not so much about the "what", but the "how"..........I don't mind hunting familiar species over and over......I just like doing it with good friends or in a different manner. For example, this year I am hunting over some new hand made teal decoys (didn't quite get them completed...

I've been reloading since I was 16 years old.....started out with a 12 gauge MEC 6oo jr, and then got a LEE load all in .30/30 Win. I heard about "saving money" (pretty good argument for a struggling college student), but I guess I really just wanted to shoot more. I bought a LEE load all for...
