Today there is a glimmer of hope for the firearms owners, hunters and recreational shooters in Canada. Today Feb 3 2023 the the Canadian Federal government has decided to withdraw the Bill C21 amendments to the Firearms Act , primarily due to public pressure and opposition party efforts. Justin...

Well, I finally got my pronghorn. It was a team effort as I had my son and two grandsons as part of the hunting party. First off, I waited too long to trigger my tag but that was mainly because I wanted to be in a zone where I could access properties as most of the hunting is on private or...

In 2018 I had the opportunity to take a giraffe while hunting. My PH said at that time that I should take the giraffe shin bones back home with me, commenting that they are used for knife handles and if I were to ever want a custom knife made, it would make a nice memento of the hunt. So...

I have been a member of SCI for several years and have attended their convention four times. I am not a member of DSC nor attended any of their conventions. I am wondering what differences there may be between the two and if it is worth my while to attend DSC, not to mention that I wouldn't mind...

Next week I am going to have to put down my old longhorn steer. He's 21+ years old and this winter has been tough on him, his body condition is deteriorating and he has had a good life as a lead steer taking the herds out to summer pasture and back. I'm thinking of a shoulder mount quarter turn...

First off I would like to apologize for this late posting but today I decided to get off my butt and get it done, not to mention that it's currently minus 30 outside here at home, sunny, but minus 30. I ended up hunting with Chistophe Beau's organization, Grand Safari, through an unusual...

Good day fellow forum members. A few years ago I came upon some 7x72R ammunition at an auction. The asking price was cheap for a couple of boxes, I didn't know what they were but my father in law has been gunsmithing and barrel making for 50 years so I thought he would have some idea. Turns out...

Well in Alberta I think. After I heard that CZ was discontinuing the 550 I decided to go find one. I already have one American Safari Magnum in 416 and a Brno 602 in 375H&H so another DG wasn't in the cards but I thought that a medium bore would be nice as they are soon to be extinct. Well I...

I have two DG rifles that I have taken to Africa. One as a primary rifle, a CZ550 416 Rigby topped with a Trijicon 1-4 x 24 German #4 reticle and Talley QD rings and the other was a Ruger No. 1 375 H&H with a Trijicon 2-10 x 50 with Warne QD rings. Both scopes had the illuminated reticle, great...

So when hunting I believe its all about the hunt, the memories you get from it, the friends you make and the trophies the you collect. Having been to Africa a few times each trip is an adventure and if you take the time to listen, the PHs, the trackers, skinners all have an intimate knowledge...

This past June of 2018, I managed to complete my return trip to Africa, this time with Motsomi Safari, Pieter and Ria Potgieter of Limpopo Province, RSA. Pieter had made arrangements to hunt the Makuya tribal land adjacent to the Kruger National Park for Cape Buffalo. Our hunt took place just...
