    Argentina trophies are in process

    I wouldn't mind visiting for the food and culture, but I'm out on hunting, I've spent less to get 14 euro trophies home from Africa. A trip to Texas for some BBQ an axis and blackbuck would be the ticket for this hunt! :ROFLMAO:

    Budgets and priorities

    Common but Uncommon!! Beautiful .243!

    I love the .243 my children have take many deer with one and none left our site. I was just poking at some on here who dislike the caliber! I also agree with shot placement I've taken all my plains game with a 7mm-08 or a .308, only had one go any distance.

    If you tag out early what is the normal for the rest of the time left on your safari?

    Several options, add animals, add excursions to different attractions, ask about activities around the lodge. Keep in mind a lot of the donated auctions have the outfitter making little to no money on your hunt unless you add animals or excursions. It would help if we had more details about the...

    Texas: Whitetail: She did good!!!!

    What part of the state are you in? We're in Mills County; we usually do our surveys at the end of August. We start 40-50 mins after sunset... so just when it really gets dark. We're on about 1,000 acres we usually see between 50-70 deer and we normally have 50-75 individual bucks. We get a ton...

    Texas: Whitetail: She did good!!!!

    Our season opened Saturday 9/27 (MLDP Conservation Option), we've been watching this deer since he was 2.5 and had 12 points. We all agreed to let him walk last year when he had 15 points. We held our breath all year knowing he was traveling to the neighbor to the north and east but luckily, he...

    Water for ducks

    Lot of factors, but just a few basic numbers, it would take over 160,000 gallons of water to cover 2 acres with 6" of water. Lets say its a 2" well, lets guess flow rate of 10-gallons/min it would take about two weeks to pump that amount of water given the aquifer would withstand the...

    When to start a youngster on his first safari?

    I started my son and daughter hunting whitetail deer with a .243 when they were both 8 years old. I started both of them when they were 6 shooting BB guns and air rifles to get used to shooting with little to no recoil or loud noise and slowly worked them up to a .22 then to the .243. My son...

    Ivory question

    Off topic a little and not the advice you asked for...so my apologies, but if they want to reduce assets subject to probate, they can list beneficiaries or joint tenants on their investment accounts. Same with bank accounts or add a payable on death (POD). For their vehicles they can register...

    Another thread of trophy shipping costs..

    I'd ask for a quote from another shipper.... that is out of line with even the current inflated BS shipping prices. Just got done handling a buddy’s shipment we received in May or June. He had 10 shoulder mounts including buffalo, kudu, sable pedestal, and others with a couple euro mounts. His...
