    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Out of curiosity, do you prefer the polar or black dial on the Explorer II? I'm very torn between the two. A purchase is not imminent, but it's fun to think about.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I wish you all would knock it off with the Railmasters. My willpower isn't great, and you guys sure aren't helping!

    Swarovski NL Pure 10x42 With Forehead Brace

    For what it's worth, my lens caps did the same thing as yours. I emailed Swarovski and they sent me a new pair to my door very quickly and for no charge.

    Borescope

    I have a Teslong and it has worked well for me. I have never tried any others, so I don't have any real reference point, but I have been happy with it.

    BOTSWANA: Plains Game Hunt In Botswana With NKWE SAFARIS (The Giveaway Hunt In Memory Of Cal Pappas)

    Fantastic! What a great trip and very cool for NKWE to provide this trip in Cal's memory. I didn't know Cal personally, only here, but I'm sure he would have wholeheartedly approved! What a great community this site is!

    7.5 x 55 Swiss Smith/Ruben K31 rifle

    Is that all that would be needed? I've always kicked around the idea of a Ruger No. 1 in 7.5x55 but never acted on it.

    My Second Man Eating Royal Bengal Tiger

    There is something fascinating about stories of hunting an individual animal that is not only potentially dangerous, but that actually has proven to be so. I really enjoyed reading your story and would be very pleased to read more. Thank you for sharing!

    I've got wood!

    Very nice! I think you sell yourself a little short on your skill level though. I have made only a handful of (poorly done) knives and it really made me appreciate the skill of those who do it right. It is great the wood lives on in this form and did not get scrapped.

    Fountain pen appreciation

    This is a great idea for a thread. Here are 3 of my favorites: a Sheaffer snorkel and Parker 51 that both belonged to my great grandmother (She always let me use them when I visited her as a kid; I was fascinated with how they looked) and a Parker Vacumatic that was unceremoniously bought from...

    The Gun That Got Away

    We have a local auction house that accepts online bids during live auctions. I was not able to be there in person, so I planned to bid online for an excellent condition pre 64 Winchester 1894 that I really wanted (as an aside, I have no lever guns. What in the world is wrong with me?). I put my...

    Why do Europeans add greenery to trophy photos?

    I read once there were preferred plant types to use for this. If I am remembering correctly oak or evergreen was most often used. Is there any truth to this? I really like this tradition and am looking to incorporate it into my hunting and photography.

    Remington 700

    I don't have extensive experience, but my only 700 in .22-250 shoots sub-MOA and has never had one malfunction or problem in the 21 years I've had it. I've been very happy with it.

    What would be your Dream Hunt!??

    I sure hope to some day. Growing up, no one in my immediate family hunted. My great-great grandfather shot this deer in Germany in 1927 and gave the mount to my grandfather. I always enjoyed seeing it when I visited my grandparents. They gave it to me and I have it in my home now. This mount...
