in 2017 my better half expressed an interest to try hunting with moose being at the top of her wish list. She grew up in Newfoundland with her Dad, two brothers, uncles and now her niece all being moose hunters. Moose meat was a staple for them. Then she moved to Saskatchewan and missed that...

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen the .243 is gone. I know your opinion but it was a good rifle for us. I initially bought it as a coyote rifle that my wife could use for deer when/if she decided to start hunting. She finally did start deer hunting in 2017 and for 3 seasons in a row she shot her whitetails...

My father has been my longest fishing partner. We’ve had some great days fishing together but today may have been the best yet. This spring I lost my father-in-law which was a hard blow. Four days later my dad celebrated his 80th birthday. He is in great health, but watching my wife go through...

Well my family's hunting season wrapped up successfully this year with everybody filling their tags with the exception of my brother, who opted not to hunt this year. Sometimes I wonder if we're related or not! Lol. We started out the first weekend of November. My oldest stepson was drawn for...

This is a question that I've wanted to ask for a long time but have been afraid that it will get me blackballed from AH...Lol!!! This question is aimed more at the North American hunters on here as I understand why our European brothers love them. And right up front I admit that I am completely...

I have an opportunity to buy this rifle from a buddy who has pretty much stopped hunting. Anybody have any experience and/or opinion on the M70 Black Shadow?

I have the opportunity to buy this scope from a fellow at work...$200 for scope, bases and rings. I'm quite sure this is an excellent price for the package. My intentions are to put it on my T/C Triumph muzzleloader. My question is if this scope is adequate for this gun? Thanks.

With it being a slow Friday afternoon at work and the end of the icefishing season approaching next weekend, I thought that I'd throw some pics of a northern pike I caught on a tip-up back in the beginning of January. The pike got itself snagged behind the head, causing it's long face to extend...

Got the phone call I've been waiting for the other day...my trophies that I got with @KMG Hunting Safaris was waiting to be picked up! I quickly got them home and started unlocking and untaping everything, then putting the horns on the skulls. I am mostly happy with everything, however there...

It's been three days since we landed back home from our trip to South Africa, and I still find myself in a bit of a daze trying to get over the jet lag and back into some kind of routine. Photos finally got downloaded onto my computer today and somewhat organized, so time to get started on the...

On our journey to South Africa next week, we will be spending our long layover in Frankfurt, Germany. What suggestions do you that have been there have as to places to see during the time between our flights? What is the recommended means of transportation from the airport and back later in the...

Just want to wish all my fellow Canucks a happy Canada Day. We had a great time at my parents farm. We went fishing, the kids swam in the lake and we played with the calves. Topped the day off watching fireworks. Only fly in the ointment was my Roughriders stinking up a home game to Montreal...

I will be using Hunters and Collectors Taxidermy for my upcoming hunt in the Eastern Cape and am thinking of going with just the skull mounts. Does anyone have any pics of Euro's they've had done there that they would like to share? I'd like to see skulls that are just cleaned to be finished at...

I saw on my Facebook feed this afternoon an article that the new Liberal B.C. Government has announced a ban on trophy hunting for grizzlies following the 2017 season. Another case of wildlife management by political promises to the antis.

First off, I am NOT a taxidermist. What real taxidermists can do is something far beyond my talents! But I do like to do my own Euro mounts if at all possible and enjoy learning new methods to make it easier. However for some reason in the last few years I kind of dropped the ball and let a...

I was fortunate enough to get this nice mulie buck yesterday. Was able to take him with my new Tikka 7mm Rem at 150 yards as he was guarding his does from another buck. Barnes Triple Shock dropped him and he never took a step. Hoped to recover the bullet, but it was a complete pass through. He...

After joining this forum last summer, I spent many hours reading hunt reports from around the world. One of the sponsoring outfitters was from Texas, which as a new member on an African hunting forum, I thought was unusual. But as I read his reports, I became intrigued, especially after reading...

I know that this is primarily a hunting website, but I thought I would post some pics from our northern Saskatchewan fishing trip this past June. My 11 year old niece, Maia, had a pretty rough spring in 2015 as her parents separated, so my father and I decided that we would pull her out of...

My taxidermist gave me a call the other day to tell me that my warthog was done. It's funny that it's the one I chose to mount first as I had no intention of shooting one. Then after I did take one, I had no intention of mounting it...just wanted a Euro! Anyway, I'm very happy with the result...

Like everyone on here, I have dreamed of hunting Africa since I was a young kid, but grew up believing it would never become a reality. This was something that you only read about in hunting magazines. So I consoled myself with the fact that I lived in Saskatchewan and am able to hunt...

Just dropping a quick hello. I have been reading AH for a few years now and decided it was time to join and hopefully get to interact with some fellow Africa addicts! A little about myself...I am from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in Canada, been a hunting and fishing nut for nearly 40 years! Up until...
