Well, probably a little to 'vanilla' for most here, but a few years back I got into squirrel hunting. Most of us started out that way, then moved on to bow hunting, bird hunting, deer, big game, or whatever. Pretty simple: all you need is a .22 or a shotgun and some shells, a license, and...

Another thumbs up for Lori at @Travel Express!!(y)

Good for you!!! I feel the same way. I'm not 'waiting until retirement' to do the things I'd like to do in life.......I've seen too many people who had dreams and 'waited', only to become ill, have a change in job status, or have difficulty living on a fixed income. My in-laws were one of...

Looked at a CZ in 416 Rigby a couple of years ago.......rifle was a great price, but when I started trying to find ammo, I found out how difficult & expensive it was, compared to some other cartridges. $10/rd (average) compared to $3/rd (average) for the .375 H&H......more variety, easier to...

I might be wrong, but I dont think you can do this. I think that the trophies have to stay in country for 90 days after being taken.

You mean like oil?;) but seriously.....I agree with you about a country's strength & holding as many natural resources as possible. That's one of the reasons Japan went to war with us in WWII; they didn't have the scrap metal (or oil) to run their military machine.....they bought scrap from...

When you say "we", are you refering to individual shooters, or the United States govt?

After having a skull mount done in Africa, and having it come back smelly, damaged, and with bugs, I will no longer go with "cheaper"..........I'd rather have it done "correctly". That goes for my flat skins as well.

This is old news......saw this about 2 years ago; surprised that it's still in circulation.

This is the road I had to go down last year, and it wasn't a fun one! I was very disappointed when my taxidermy arrived from S.A. Some of the problems? The crate was damaged when it arrived.....seems like something minor, until you consider the fact that the "crate" wasn't much sturdier than...

I have an Interarms Viscount in .30-06 (made by Zastava also); plain jane rifle, nothing fancy......but shoots after a fashion!!! I was looking for a Whitworth in .375 H&H a couple of years ago; found one on gunsamerica, but the individual selling the gun never replied to my inquiries......to...

Extinct? Hardly......state of Michigan did it's best to not confirm the presence of cougars in the U.P.; finally had to admit it after finding scat and doing DNA testing. Dept. of Natural Resources now has to come up with a "plan" (as well as $$$) to "manage" the resource. We hunted about 10...

Since I can't be sure it isn't going to state sponsored terrorism, ditto for me..........but now I can't shop at any of the local 7-11 or liquor stores!:LOL:

...And Hillary Clinton wants to know how "can someone be investigated by the FBI and still manage to pass a background check"? My only answer to that is the same way you can be investigated by the FBI and still run for president. Also, you need to go and ask you husband (if you can find which...

Politicians who say that there is "no need for assault rifles and high capacity magazines" should go and ask the people who were burned out/beat up during the riots (er.....excuse me; "civil uprisings":rolleyes:) in Ferguson, L.A., Baltimore, etc. ........you remember: those places where crowds...

Foxi; She's just customizing it to fit her needs!:LOL:;)

Yup.....Obama will say it's the NRA's fault.............................

Already happened this morning in the house........dems are pushing to have their antigun bills brought forward and voted on; "strike while the iron is hot". Looks like another 8 years of being unable to find powder, brass, and rimfire ammunition......remember some A hole legislator calling for...

I hunted with Cruiser in 2014; I used a .338 Win. mag to take my Blue Wildebeest. The rest of my game(Gemsbok, Kudu, impala, and cow waterbuck) was taken with my .30-06 and a 200 grain Nosler partition bullet. I took my .338 ammo in Remington boxes that I saved over the year. .30-06 ammo...

Those are some awesome trophies!!! Congratulations!(y)

After reading about your last hunting trip with paw print, I'm looking forward to reading about your next hunting trip with paw print!

Might have been lions......but I think it was animal rights activists trying to "save" them.............the buffalo know better!

And since the Obama administration has chosen to ban it, there will no longer be any illegal trade in ivory throughout the world............right?:confused: I mean, its not like this "heroin" (or other drug) thingy, where we put out laws banning it, and it stops immediately and...

.....and this is my fear: that the animal rights loonies will use this "tragedy" as an opportunity to fill their coffers.......not to preserve gorilla habitat, or fight poaching, but to advance their social agenda. They made over $750 million dollars....$750,000,000!!!!!.......through lies and...

Yes, funded with money bilked from well meaning people who fall victim to the "save the puppies" commercials that they air on TV!:mad: None of the money bilked for the "Save the African lion campaign" will go to antipoaching efforts, saving shrinking habitat, research, or any area where it...

For those who may not know, this past Saturday (5/28), a 4 year old child breached the security fence and fell into the moat at the gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati zoo. A 17 year old male gorilla, named "Harambe", went after the child. There is video on line of the gorilla running, dragging...

THE DINGOS ATE MY BABY!!!!!!!!!;) Seriously, the first thing I would do is talk with the local law enforcement and find out the legality of shooting "ferals"......in some places, it is illegal to do so, irregardless of whether or not they are on your property, chasing game, etc. About the...

I am a fan of the CZ75B also; however, since the O.P. stated "relatively compact" and "ambidextrous", I didn't think a CZ75 would meet the requirements. I do carry mine, but not as often as the 3913...... I don't know much about them, but the CZ RAMI might fit the bill as well.......

Are used guns out of the question? If not, then you might want to take a look at the S&W 3913. Based on the older S&W M39, the gun is an 8 shot, double action Stainless steel semiauto pistol. Not to much bigger than "standard" 380s, such as the Walther PP, it is quite accurate to shoot and...

I'm not sure where you are from, but I'm guessing it's not from the U.S., as "all arounders" here have somewhat of a different meaning than other countries, as here we have to use them for upland bird hunting, waterfowl hunting with nontoxic (which can be hard on barrels) shot, and in some...

You can EDUCATE yourself only to a certain degree.......unless you have the experience of a PH, you are NOT going to be able to judge trophies, on the hoof, with the same capabilities of an experieced guide. It's basically "book learning" vs practical experience. ........and you say "charge...

If you can just go out and "buy" the biggest, why even have a trophy book in the first place? Why not just post up your net worth in a book and we'll all know how big a trophy you can afford.(n) We are already under the microscope and the label of "trophy hunting" has such negative...

Over the years I've found that reloading manuals tend to "guild the lilly" (esp. with shotgun data) where velocities are concerned. Remember: There testing is done under very controlled conditions....yours probably aren't I've come accustom to reloading for accuracy......after all, If you...

Oh, I just gotta share this one!!!!:LOL:

I've never had much desire to hunt the "big five", for personal reasons.....don't have anything against others doing it, just never really wanted to do it myself. The one exception is cape buffalo......There is one critter I think I wouldn't mind taking. With the pressure that the antis are...

Yes, it has.............................:LOL:;)

3 cents a round?!:cautious::eek: Holy crap.....where are you finding .22 LR ammo at 3 cents a round! I went to several gun stores and a gun show yesterday (friend just got two new rifles, so we had to stock up on brass and reloading supplies), and the cheapest......cheapest.......22LR I found...

Never understood this......cats, as "Pets", should be indoor animals. When I was a kid growing up, we had a "crazy cat family" whose cats roamed the neighborhood.......and one day one of their "pets" attacked a teenage girl for no reason as she came out of her home; jumped at her from their...

Probably shoots MOA.....

Sounds like the legislators are some of the best customers.....................'splains alot!(n):(

Isn't that called "marriage"?

Two poachers in a zebra suit?:p:D;)

I feel it's a much better website than the one that you had up previously. However, I do have a few questions/comments: 1.) I must agree with Hank2211; I like to see some personal information re: the other PHs, camp cook, trackers, etc. 2.) I do like the fact that you have more photos of the...

Awesome video!! I've been looking for something like this for a while now (charging buff target)..... Christina; Can you elaborate a little more on how the target it set up? Obviously, it's on a wire, but what sets it 'running'?, what are the "specifics" (wire gauge, distance...

I did a similar test years ago; was trying to see if I could find ONE brand of ammo that would shoot well in all three of my .22 rimfires......I didn't.:( Some of the stuff I used back then is no longer made; others are no longer imported. I have similar problems with reloading components...

I don't watch any particular "channel" regularly; I like seeing "every day folk" that are taping their own hunts. Sometimes they are great; other times the profanity and poor gun handling/sportsmanship will cause me to look elsewhere. I also enjoy watching youngsters going out on their first...

Hmm.....interesting thread. But I have to disagree with some of the comments. Not as accurate? I've seen some 100 yard groups shot with patched round ball that made the guys shooting modern rifles on the range that day drool with envy! Not good much past 60 yards? Better there were a lot...

I will throw my 2 cents in the ring, and try and be objective about it. I've owned shotguns in all the major categories (O/U, SxS, single shot, pump, and semi auto) in 12, 16, and 20 gauge. I had two Remington 870's; bought the second one as a "back up" in case the first one broke or had...

All the rugs, pillows, chairs, wall hangings are cool and quite beautiful, but I'm wondering if anyone has had their hides tanned into leather and made into more "practical" items. I used to work with a surgeon who claimed to have a pair of boots made from cape buffalo hide and he said that...

interesting........said "zero" at one point; now it says "5"?.:cautious:
