    Dutch House of representatives passes motion to delist rabbit and hare as game species

    I just got back from 6 weeks of quail hunting in southeast Arizona. I saw more cottontail rabbits in those 6 weeks than the rest of my life combined. Didn't see many coyotes, but I heard 'em every night. Small (compared to coyotes in northern Nevada) and skittish!

    .338-06 on Gunbroker

    My sentiments exactly, although, I wouldn't rule out selling a small handful that I bought but didn't use for anything memorable.

    Taking your own rifle: Is it worth the hassle?

    I've only been to Africa once, and my rifles didn't make it. I very much wanted to use my own rifles but there is NO WAY I would have gone home instead of using the outfitter's guns. When you travel, stuff goes wrong; we adapted and my son and I had a trip of a lifetime. I'm going back in...

    HUNTING Giraffe

    So They Want A Lock In Each Hole?

    Inventive. However, saving a few dollars on locks and giving a TSA agent having a bad day a reason to reject my gun case seems like a bad risk. I'll fill the holes with locks.

    HUNTING Giraffe

    I intended to use a 225 grain .338 Win Mag but my gun didn't get to SA with me. I ended up using the PH's 210 grain .338/06 which doesn't have the powder behind it that the Win Mag does. My shot to the neck of a large bull hit and fractured the vertebra but did not penetrate it (I still have...
