SOLD!

I've got a new (never used) Tuffpak with Tuffsak for sale. International shipping is ridiculous and cost prohibitive (shipping something this size to the states is over $400) so I will only sell to Canadians (and even that shipping ain't cheap). Brand new (with Tuffsak duffel included) they sell...

100% disagree with #7. If the person behind me don't like it...THEY can shell out the extra 5+K for business class! I sure as hell ain't gonna sit upright for 12 or more hours if I can help it.

We can gain solace knowing that "Hatred" will consume the hater long before the targets of their comments.

I'll try to stay out of your way for awhile....heavy emphasis on the "try"! LOL

Just had some bad experiences with a couple of used scopes many years ago. The reason I ask, I purchased a S&B from this seller a couple of months ago but haven't had the time to mount it on a 416 Rigby....just waiting on some QD Alaska Arms rings. (we may have been bidding against each other!)

Have you actually mounted and used any of these scopes yet on heavy recoiling rifles? If so, have you have any issues?

(y) LOL!

Super Troopers South African style? Is the guy in the back, Farva?

About a week ago I was really missing the warm October in the Omay (43C or 109.4F). Not now, as we are experiencing a nice chinook in SE Alberta. I have absolutely no problem with a "brown" Christmas.

Why? No one will see you!

I don't have a Kalispel; I've got a custom made case that I've had for about 30 years that looks just like it. Never had any problems with scopes being off zero. The case has taken a beating, but they are tough and fully protect what is inside. I'm sure Pelican is good too, but if you've already...

Being polite or blowing them a kiss has a much better effect. If you get angry or sarcastic, you are giving them the satisfaction of knowing they got to you. I've noticed they get more flustered and confused on what to do next when you respond in an unexpected way.

It looks like the image and shot placement are spot on for an upper chamber heart shot.

My interpretation of Icq's post was that he was in agreement with you about the use of a led sled.

Geez...they must have stamped my passport wrong!

I'm using Warne quick release rings on a CZ .416 Rigby with no loosening problems.

Absolutely. I have hunted DG with a Ruger No. 1 in 375H&H and you definitely make sure your first shot is good. No issues from my perspective, and no concerns from any PHs that I have hunted with when I used this particular rifle, and I`ve never met a PH who is was afraid to voice his opinion.

Sounds good Jerome. Thanks for your hard work.

No, sorry to say I did not. I was kind of expecting at least an acknowledgement from his office (I provided an email address), but no such luck. You never know the leanings of the actual "letter opener". We must also expect that each countries' leader gets hundreds, if not more, correspondences...

While sorting through some files I came across this letter that I wrote to our newly elected PM in response to the crazy protests over the Africa Hunting Shows that were making their rounds through our country early in the year. As a hunting community, I feel that if we each take the initiative...

Ice Man, that warthog and 2nd Impala are gorgeous with really nice shapes! Good show.

Green spotted bush snake, Mozambique. Might not be a black mamba, but its got pretty coloration!

Unless you're a brand new hunter that hasn't made a kill, I can't see any rationale behind "not" hunting DG on a first safari. There has to be a "first time" for everything! Absolutely go for it.

I hunt because I'm a hunter: genetically predetermined. Example: if you have a house cat (they've been domesticated for a couple of thousand years); they do not need to hunt as they are fed, and housed; yet you put them outside, they will hunt rodents and birds because it is in their nature...

I had a "starter wife" too, but didn't keep her that long. My "keeper wife" likes taxidermy more'n I do. She wants me to get everything mounted! (certainly can't afford that, let alone the space required; I mostly just keep the skulls now, and starting to throw away the old ones)

I flinch as well, but that is more a fear of what the scope may do if I`m not concentrating. I also wish supressors were legal here in the great white north.

No surgeries yet (knock wood) but I'm not that far behind you in age:59. I hear you (pun intended) on the hearing loss!:Headphone:.

I'm having some trouble understanding why some shooters/hunters have an issue with recoil bothering their shoulders. This is a problem I've never experienced. I own or have handled calibers up to 500 NE and 3 1/2" 12 gauge magnums. My "go to" rifle is a .416 Rigby and I'll shoot 410 gr...

You ain't gonna get a "7" day lion hunt anywhere except South Africa.

I believe that the 1450 Euro for lion is strictly the trophy fee. I also think there is a very tight quota on lion there (maybe 2) so the all-in hunt will still run you from $32-35K US, which is still a very good price for wild lion. The quotas most likely are already spoken for for years; but...

I kind of remember that a young Daniel Craig was the antagonist in this movie; although I don't see him listed in the credits. Interesting that he is now just as famous as Morgan Freeman.

The best part of being stupid.....You don't know you're stupid!

You're absolutely right Red Leg. There will be a lot of "rude awakenings" in the future when the door of opportunity closes in the face of all these kids who've posted things that will come back to haunt them.

I hope none of you hunt with one of these! They are like wearing a mirror or beacon on top of your head. I once spotted a hunter from a couple of miles away wearing one. I couldn`t tell what the hell it was at first, until he got close enough. Eventually we spoke and I informed him of his `faux...

Heroin addict + pistol = BAD NEWS!

Gert, is this what you're looking for? If so, you may PM me.

Exactly! You're not going to tell your grand-kids any stories about your fancy house or vehicles!

Great animals Christina. I'm guessing that in the back of your mind you're thinking about buffalo #2...and 3, etc.!

Awesome animals Martin....hope those are in the Omay!

There is a video right after this one showing the stampede from the other side (close up). It was definitely lions as they came right up to the white car.

I'm guessing I'll just have to go to Africa to pick up a copy of that magazine!

I guess the only thing better than talking about Africa and enjoying a drink, is being in Africa and enjoying a drink!

You guys better not count out Mozambique. 30"+ Nyala are a real possibility; they also have the Chobe Bushbuck.

I'm getting to the point where I'm running out of room for "stuff". My enthusiasm for hunting hasn't diminished, so I will still support African countries that see the value in sustainable hunting!

They won't know you're going to Zimbabwe when you check your luggage and rifle to OR Tambo and overnight in Johannesburg.

There are loopholes available, you just have to apply to the governor general's office and the ministry of foreign affairs will grant a temporary export permit to Zim.

I'm guessing that some of the animal's reaction to the bullet will depend upon which chambers are affected and if those chambers are in systole or diastole cycles. (contracted and empty or relaxed and filling). Undoubtedly there is a great deal more hydrostatic shock when the bullet shreds a...

If you're willing to drive to Coaldale (just on the east side of Lethbridge, there is Freddy Thomson (Thomson Taxidermy) and Kevin Weibe (Top Notch Taxidermy). They both do excellent work. Kevin actually apprenticed under Freddy. Freddy also used to be a PH years ago in Africa. Check out their...

My question: Why does Sullivan avoid an easy "coup de grace" at a stationary target; he warns everybody not to shoot, until he can be the "Video Hero" after FORCING the charge by advancing?
