    Solo DIY Alaska moose float hunt ‘26

    I’ve been trying for three years to pull this off, but somehow, something always comes up that shelves the plan. Now, barring some unforeseen catastrophe, I’ve got everything lined up for this expedition. I’ve got a lot of solo time logged already, but I’m getting older and every tick of the...

    Judge says “..bring it climate freaks..”

    https://apnews.com/article/climate-choices-impact-decisions-recycling-flying-meat-a85ef43fc63c666e16f29e8ca1e43beb Judge: Now dogs are causing climate change..? I guess rivers are low because fish are drinking water.

    Saw this and immediately thought of Hunter Habib

    I love flea markets and consignment shops, so does my wife. She spots stuff and I do the bargaining if I think it’s worth the stretch. So, she spots this piece in the corner of this overcrowded junk shop on top of the coin case: I thought it was cool. My wife loves bronze sculptures. The...

    It’s a man, man!

    Great. Now there’s going to be dildos tossed onto the diamond. Bank on it. Baseball is a game where tradition matters. It’s not sexism to have only men as umpires. It’s tradition. Its history. This is a bag over the head insult to all purists and lovers of our national pastime...

    How long from the time you returned to your home did it take you to book your next safari?

    Days, weeks, months.., years? What was your first safari for? What was your second safari booked for? For me it was seven days. After a very fruitful and exciting first safari in Namibia for plains game, I was finalizing interviews with PH’s for a hounds over leopard hunt within hours of...

    How my first African Safari ended an abusive relationship..

    ..metaphorically speaking, of course. In my limited, yet varied, hunting career, I’ve been trapped in a love/hate relationship. Voluntarily, I admit it..I signed up for it. There’s no one to blame but me. The former love interest’s name is “Alaska”. But I’ll just call her by her new name...

    Ivory billiard balls

    Have any of you gentlemen ever had your ivory reduced for billiard balls. If so have you used them? Were you happy you did it for a working memory or do you regret it? How was the play on them? Slower vs.faster, crisp contact or muted? I’ve never seen nor played real ivory and was curious if...

    Stop in for Supper, friend

    My two finest rams that I ever produced wouldn’t sell at my price. So being a practical man, rather than give all my years of breeding away for $79/cwt, I slaughtered them, hung them for 10 days and processed the saddle of each for the table and froze the rest for the dogs. 387#’s of mutton. I...

    This. This is why,

    I can’t bring myself to go to a National Park in the USA or Canada anymore. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/06/06/photographers-aghast-at-dimwitted-tourist-who-allowed-toddler-next-to-bison/

    I don’t want to be “that guy”.. but,

    https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/charts-signal-time-reload So, I, with everything I have going on in life, don’t have time to reload. I know that hand loaded ammunition is superior to factory loads, but Federal, Barnes, Remington, Winchester, etc. have always been good to me. So, while I’m...

    Record bushbuck taken in Tanzania

    Such talent and perseverance. A hell of a shot! His genuine reaction to the effort is incredible.

    How do hyenas drink?

    Are they: 1) Water lappers like a dog? Or 2) Water slurpers like a bear? Also, has anyone ever seen a hyena swim?

    What is in your day kit?

    My day kit is actually two kits, with one just being a smaller version of the other. The small kit I have down in weight to exactly 2#’s total. It goes on every stalk with me. The large kit normally stays in my frame pack. This time (will stay) in the buggy. 1) first aid package w/tourniquet...

    But how does it taste?

    I’ve searched the forums. If I missed this subject, I do apologize. Hunters I’ve spent a lot time of time with that have hunted Africa are unanimous. Waterbuck is not tasty meat, gorgeous trophy, but unpleasant fare at the table. Unanimous to a man. I could never get an accurate description...

    Hello to all from Pa (for now)

    Just stopped by to introduce myself. I’ve lurked around and read a lot on the different sections of this forum. I found this site when I was doing a web research for information on my PH before I contracted with him and his wife a month ago. Only registered just today. The information...
