Day one, first morning. Cut some tracks, trekked 1.6k. 200y stalk. 35y shot. Darton Prelude 75# Sirius Apollo 200, 200 gr half sleeve, 250 gr VPA 2 blade @ 830 gr. Farted around today to get the lay of the land. Scoped out some spots for croc, waited out a couple-three hippo, none of which...

Just got back from the tannery today. Save Valley May ‘21.

Tock a couple of bows with me to South Africa. Just got back. Shot my second buff with a bow. All cutting tracks and spot & stalk. No blinds/pan shooting bullshit. Fully expected it to be tough with the animals being on high alert given we were the last hunt of the season. And it was, but...

I've decided to thin out my gun safe as I've decided to pretty much bow hunt Africa. I'm keeping my .500 double so this one has to go. I bought this 416 Rigby back in the late 90s, sighted it in and put it in the safe. Haven't shot it since. A few years ago Patrick Holehan called me up and said...

Just got back from Humani. Hunted with Butch Coaton. The first 4-5 days we concentrated on PG as rain was forecast, which would render the pans useless. First morning we put up a popup blind and I shot a Zebra within 20 min. My first ever shot with a rifle in Africa was a (mountain) Zebra in...

Has anyone been reimbursed for a rotten hide that was improperly cared for? I assume the exporters have insurance against such claims(?). Importer is in Zimbabwe. These pics are after the first rehydration soak, before agitation or shaving.

I’ve built and tuned an arrow, but as all y’all have probably experienced- after the perfect tune you look down and see a broken strand by the peep. So while I await a new set of strings and since I’m gonna need to probably retune I thought I’d ask. Currently- Sirius 200, 250 gr Cutthroat, 200...

I have some extra stuff and/or that I really don't need. I know the stuff is hard to find so I am offering it at cost. I used MidwayUSA (and Huntington's for the RWS) to price. I'll toss in the shipping. The only trade would be for RL 22 and Swift A frame 300 gr bullets. (I also have some loose...

I've used TSX (and then TTSX) pretty much exclusively since '04 for the majority of my hunting. A Frames and solids for Africa. But for pretty much everything else it has been TSX. Never had a reason to look elsewhere. Tried a few of the similar CEB look-alikes but couldn't get them to group...

Just an FYI: Well-USA closed their trophy division in June of this year. They forwarded all of their pending trophies to Lynette Lilley of Noatum Logistics (you may remember her at Well in Houston). She just helped me clear my lion on Friday. Lynette Lilley Fauna & Flora division of Noatum...

Where: Humani and ARDA ranches Save Conservancy PH: Butch Coaton Tracker: Ringi Rifles: Heym 89 B 500 Nitro. Barnes solids 570 gr, 95 gr RL 15 // Swift A frame 570 gr, 95 gr RL 15 Pre War Mod 70 .375 H&H. Swift A frames 300 gr, 65 gr RL 15 // CEB solids 300 gr, 65 gr RL 15 I first met Butch...

I have a Trijicon which fits but I'd also like to be able to use my Leica red dot, which uses the Docter footplate. Chris at HeymUSA doesn't have any Docter mounts. I assume these are labeled according to the clamp-clamp tightened distance and not the rib width? The appropriate Trijicon mount...
