    High capacity lever gun?

    My first rifle ever was a Rossi Puma M92 (my 10th birthday present-THANKS dad) in 357 Mag. I have taken more deer and coyotes with it in heavy brush than I have my 270 and 300 combined. It is quick, accurate with low recoil and very fun to shoot. If my memory is correct it holds 11 -357 Mag or...

    You will be missed sir. You are the first AH member I got to meet face to face. Then you set me up with the info that turned into my wonderful day touring London’s gun rooms. I have enjoyed your friendship through this dinner. Hope to see you on the floor and son and grandson. Mickey

    Whitetail deer season 2023-2024

    Me, my kids, and a neighbor have been chasing this buck for three years. We’ve had him on cameras each year but this morning was only the second time anyone has seen him in daylight. None of the kids wanted to get up this morning so dad took the shot. He was chasing a doe hard and would never...

    DSC Fly-in Meeting To Washington DC

    No city is ever very appealing to me. But for 4 days a year Dallas is the exception- best hunting show there is. You should attend, especially the AH dinner that Jerome and Phil put on. It’s a great time, even for people who like to be smug and take pot shots at another hunting club.

    DSC Fly-in Meeting To Washington DC

    The group wasn’t just TX and OK. Board members and staff were from FL and VA as well in our small group. I will be the first to believe many politicians will shake hands and take a pic and move on. However these were like minded politicians in a setting based around the CSF banquet who knew and...

    DSC Fly-in Meeting To Washington DC

    No, nothing to do with the “D” or a band of states. It had to do with committee chairs and members that have certain issues in front of them right now. There is nothing regional or selective about DSC. And yes it will take SCI, CSF, DSC and every other organization available to preserve our...

    Gemsbok hunting question

    I measured him when he came home at just shy of 40. Couldn’t quite stretch my tape enough to hit the magic number.:ROFLMAO: Surprising to me was he was almost perfectly symmetrical between 39.6 and 39.8 both horns. I love how he stays so heavy all the way up. That bull of yours is a stud!

    Gemsbok hunting question

    Gemsbok are wonderful animals to hunt and make great memories hanging on the wall. A big bull will make a perfect main target for a first hunt. I do agree with @Justbryan in that it is a long and expensive flight for a one animal hunt. You could make a 5-6 day hunt and add some smaller, budget...

    NAMIBIA: Namibia, The First Time. A Family Affair

    Best way to mount Wildebeest?

    I wanted all that beautiful blue/black brindle hide I could fit on a wall mount. I wish I had a picture from the back of this bull as his neck really shows off the color and the horn spread.

    DSC Convention Moving to GA

    My understanding is the venue they looked at in Ft Worth that could accommodate the convention is also planning a major renovation starting in 2025 or 2026. So it wouldn't get them through the 5 years. And several of the other venues in Texas couldn't block the January dates for all the years...

    Hanging a zebra rug suggestions...

    I have hung a lot of steer hides on the wall. I agree with the above comments about hanging at an angle instead of "square". I use small nails and it allows you to start at a point and keep everything tight and smooth as you go around. Makes a lot of holes in the wall but they are small and...

    Ruger Safari Magnum Project

    I have a question on the RSM and there is obviously a lot of knowledge about them on this thread. I bought a 375 H&H a couple of years ago and love it. Compared to my Kimber 300, it is definitely a heavier "clunkier" stock and very heavy barreled. But when I shoot it, I lose any complaints-good...

    New guy planning for 2024

    For that trip I can’t imagine a better place than @Kowas Adventure Safaris. There are lots of reports here for them including my own from 2021. Great Kudu, Oryx, Eland, Mountain Zebra and other Namibia plains game with a great family and great camp. Enjoy the planning and look forward to your...

    Most Misjudged Plains Game Species?

    My experience is very limited in 3 trips over. But for my eye Gemsbok are impossible. All those grey bodies milling around with long straight horns. Its fascinating and they all look huge to me. And then you get the lone bull with nothing to compare to and it gets even more difficult. I would...

    Prayer Request

    Praying for a quick and full recovery. My father-in-law said he never felt so good as after he recovered from his unexpected bypass. Said he hadn't realized how low his energy and stamina had slipped over time until they got his blood pumping properly again. I hope its the same for you.
