It’s called “Forensic Files” in the states. Showing that her teeth had indeed been through a wood chipper was sure evidence that she was dead, even without a complete corpse. I believe it was the first murder conviction without a dead body in Connecticut.-Helle Crafts was her name

Maybe I missed it somewhere but could you please post a couple photos of your Buffalo? I’ll guess you are out looking for “alternative opportunities” today-bushbuck or waterbuck or nyala would be high on my list. Interested to see what you find. If it were me I would take my camera and a...

Ron Spomer seems pretty down to earth-might be cool to visit with

Don’t know what he’s up to these days but always liked Ivan Carter. Fred Zink, Jason Matzinger, or Nate Simmons. Sometimes it’s better Not to meet your “Heroes” . . .

Does powder valley have cigar cases? Asking for a friend:giggle:

Took a minute for Me to make it work. Thanks for posting it. I’m leaning heavily toward having a professional film my next hunt there-me and Brittany are glad to see Wik wearing hearing protection!

I do love spring even with its crazy weather. Mowed my lawn on Saturday, the next day it snowed. :ROFLMAO:

I have hunted with Wik your ph and yes, yes he is very good!

Have always wanted to hunt with Marius and co. Lots of outstanding hunt reports on here and positive feedback. Someday I will make a trip to hunt with him-

The warthog I ate was turned into brats and breakfast sausage and was excellent. Meat there is cooked over hardwood fire, not a propane grill and the improvement in flavor is huge. All the game meat I have eaten there has been outstanding. I carried my own rangefinder by my ph uses...

without knowing who you will be hunting with I will go out on a limb and say you will not pack any rifle all day. After successful or blown stalks the truck will come get you and the game will start all over. The .375’s are excellent for African hunting, mine is a bit short, I wish it had a...

East Cape comprises everything from rugged little mountain canyons, Addo thorn flats to wide open Karoo plains. So there is no single distance to satisfy your question. Expect shots from 50-300 yards but your ph will always get you as close as possible. My brother and I also used 300 wm for a...

Baldwin can afford better representation. I predict he will get off with much less. His argument that he didn’t actually pull the trigger, it fired itself should get him prison time on its own lack of merit.

Thanks for taking the plunge and joining the group!

If I could afford it-I would buy Leica all around. Nightforce toughness comes with added weight-doesn’t bother me but some will balk at the extra ounces. I have had very good success with leupold and Swarovski but like I said, if I could afford Leica. . .

I’m excited to see how you do-good luck!

Would love to see the mtn nyala mounted. His short hair and clean markings would be beautiful !

Contact Accurate Innovations and see if they are willing to checker a stock for you or refer you to someone who does it. I’ve had them build and provide “extra” checkering an a stock for me before

The ammo box issue is for the airline. They want your ammo secure, not floating around helter skelter or packed in your socks. Some countries reportedly will check Head-stamps to make sure they match your rifle but South Africa most likely won’t even check. You are limited to 11 pounds of...

two weekends ago with fresh snow we treed four cats in three days. To be fair one tree had a female and the male at the same time-who I assume was trying to get some tail. . . Turned them all down and walked away. This is public area, open to anyone and over the counter permits. Good hounds...

I agree

I think a year or so ago my Dishwasher died. (Not my wife or kids, the other one) I took the old one to the landfill and went to rc willey to replace it. They had 1 (count carefully) one dishwasher actually in stock. This was Bosch brand-not some run of the mill no name. Rc willey...

I would’ve loved to come with you-yada yada yada something about time and distance. Can’t remember exactly but I think this was a stoeger coach. I bought it in non working order for this taxidermy piece. It’s one of the few older ones I have kept around, not perfect but I still love it.

Also, some memes deserve to be reposted

I’m older so I wince at his tattoos and I don’t care for his music but I’m willing to say he exceeded his elementary school teachers expectations. Also I met him once and he was remarkably normal, depending on how that is defined. I liked the meme, just two sides to every coin (y)

Riding bike is also easier on knees and joints if a pool is not available. I’ve been looking at motor assisted e bike, not for exercise but for use while hunting. Would Own one already but I think they might be restricted in the next year or two in the areas I spend most my time.

Glad to have a .30-06 devotee back!

Ditto to what hunting hitman said. Drives me crazy when someone looks at a head in my basement and first thing out of their mouth is “what did that score?”

Would hunt with any of the above without hesitation. Would add Game4Africa in the east cape. They check all your boxes and I can speak from experience having been there a couple times and going back in 2025. Be sure to get into the hunt reports section and read up on all those represented! My...

What if they have an exceptional background in video gaming:ROFLMAO::mad:

I think six years for me-will re-evaluate at that point, mostly structure firefighting and the ambulance from time to time, wildland interface or occasionally single resource medic. Here’s a question to piggyback with the op-what do you listen to/watch while you do work outs? Outside the gym I...

Pack test is next week-50 pound pack for three miles in under 45 minutes, no running. I have grown to hate that test! Bought new wildland fire boots this year, should last the rest of my career. . . I found South Africa to be easy, no huge mountains, no heavy pack, pleasant weather and...

Did anyone actually say Bill pays lower wages? I suggested that another company doesn’t pay very well but also that you didn’t need to be skilled to work there. So if you barely made it through high school and aren’t gonna go to college, maybe there is a future at Swift or Barnes or whatever...

Of all the wby calibers the 257 or 270 would be my preferences. They have their place and the rifle pictures is rather handsome. Maybe just make sure ammo or reload components are available and scope bases before making the jump. But I say Go For It!

Greetings-welcome to the site. Good luck planning your first safari. Lots of great ph’s in South Africa and Namibia but I can’t say I know that name. Hope it’s a grand adventure and look forward to hearing about it later.

eBay also has several copies of “the practical shot” but quite expensive. Would be a fun collection item I would think but not for me.

There is also a change in how families grow up these days. I grew up on a farm and there was never a shortage of work to be done. Kids now grow up without even having a yard to mow. It’s a generalization but it’s happening more and more. I won’t knock old Bill or his company at Any level...

Barnes is the same-if you have a pulse and opposing thumbs you could get a job there anytime. Part of the problem is that bullet companies hiring unskilled laborers aren’t necessarily high paying

Extremely cool story and a serious “girlboss” as my daughters would say. Thank you for posting!

Kevin Robertson is a fun author and extremely knowledgeable in multiple areas. Do yourself a favor and buy any of his books you can get your hands on-give them to friends when they go on their first safaris or keep them as references and entertaining reading-

Fun to have that kind of adventure recorded. Monster bongo, congratulations, well done

Is the picture on these bills a tall pile of rocks?

Check out the new garmin xero c1 pro. There was a thread in here recently all about them. The cost was high for me but some thought it a great deal. It is small, simple to set up and simple to operate. Mine seems very consistent. The thing I like best is that I can shoot targets with it...

Killed my first ever turkey in Buffalo, Wyo. the next day it snowed about 8 inches and was a long drive home. A minivan coming the opposite direction hit a mallard duck as it flew across the road and their windshield was absolutely destroyed. I love that country up there. I remember there...

Brings back fond memories. I think my first one was a daisey red rider and the next year a crossman 760. At Christmas if I have a new crew at the fire station where I work I give the guys red ryders. Always a big hit

Thanks for confirming what I expected was the situation. I am in agreement with you that I would just as well hunt plains game as dangerous game. And I would hunt the same animals as those on your list, but in a different order :ROFLMAO: and I would want two of each! And I believe you did say...

Nhoro, coutada 9 is not one I know anything about. Is it a good area for nyala as some of the others are? I’m wondering if the op should have that on his “list” compared with(or ahead of) some of the other less likely animals. Thoughts?

Beautiful trophies and some of the best meat as well. Good luck!

Just for a potentially interesting conversation, have you talked to hendershots and heard what they have to say?
