Welcome to AH! Love Ruger!!!

Hello, welcome

Amazing hunt and photos! Hunting is one of those things that I feel is in your blood. It knows no skin color!

Got some nice looking animals there! Congrats on all the trophies. I hunted with Maximum a few years back. Great group of people!

Great stories! Crazy how many places one COULD have hunted years ago. Thankfully we still can in some places.

That's a lot of bears!

I was at the range today to dial in for my up coming hunt in Wyoming. I wanted to chronograph the load again. But it was raining. Dialed it in at 2.5" high at 100. That puts her dead on at 300. I had 2 shots that were less than a 1/2" apart at 300 yards. And one that was a flyer. It was a...

I don't notice the recoil difference at all really. It kicks yes, but there is no difference between the RL-15 or even a factory loads. All things being equal I will take the extra 320fps as long as it groups well. Which it has. I am looking at longer shots as a possibility this year while I...

So, wondering if anyone has any experience with hornady superformance powder? I will be reloading my .300wsm. I have done some load and so far it seems to be as advertised. 150gr bullet with 72gr of powder produced a 1.2" group at 100 yards. 5 shot avg speed was 3424fps. That was 320fps...

Welcome to AH!!

Well Delta airlines along with other airlines has now banned the shipment of trophy animals. Jumping on the band wagon. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/03/delta-air-lines-bans-freight-shipments-of-lion-hunting-trophies/

Never waste a good tragedy! Good old government way!

I think you are correct. If they implement a ban now on the import of lion. You may be out of luck? People who shot their polar bears legally are still not able to get their animals back.

And the story of a second lion supposedly taken illegally is starting to get traction. If they get it their way, another Doctor will be in the unemployment line, or in a Zimbabwe prison asap!

Speaking of ISIS! Did anyone read in the SCI magazine that just came out, about known terrorist groups becoming involved in illegal animal trade? Rhinos being a prime target. They also mentioned South Africa in 2014 had 1020 rhinos poached during the year- this is the first year ever that the...

Now having been the one who posted the FB post of Mr Carter. I am in no way condoning what he said. I always speak of waiting for ALL of the facts to come out. To many people put the cart before the horse so to speak. I to feel as though he jumped the gun in his conviction of this hunter in...

Thanks to all who answered. This is what I was looking for. There is SOOO much bad info out there on this topic. Night hunting, baiting, collard animals. Just wanted to clarify some things to people. This is the info I needed. Thanks again!

Are there any PH's or outfitters on here that can 100% explain if night hunting is legal there in Zimbabwe? Is it legal as long as it states it on the tag/ license?

This is a post from Ivan Carter on FB 10 minutes ago. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=868091529947154&id=173228692766778 Can't copy and paste from my phone, but I trust his sources more than anyone else. Not good for the hunter and the outfitter.

Welcome to AH

Well, after reading this entire thread all morning amid those bothersome emails and phone calls from that stupid place called work!! I feel the overall discussion has gone well. @Vevew , you seem to have listened to the points of most and changed your tone on ethical hunting and I applaud...

Welcome to AH! Great to have you!

Looks like a jaguar. That is a sweet kill. (Sorry if this has already been posted)

Well, I just returned from our DIY pronghorn hunt in Wyoming. I am hooked. I don't think it could have gone any better for public land. I maybe got a little shoot happy and didn't follow all the advise I received. (wait!!) I got mine the first afternoon. I should have probably waited for a...

Yes we can pick someone better to throw up there, but people are way to stupid to realize it. We are already paying $1000+ per day, per kid for these kids-I mean new democrats invading. our country. On top of that, he just want a few billion ($1,000,000,000 just to see how many zeros there are...

Jaustin, PM sent! Mekaniks thanks again for the info!!

I did read about the hunters ed certificate. I am good there. I kept mine from when I was 10 and passed it while I lived in Virginia. My dad laminated it and I keep it in my wallet to this day! Mekaniks- I read about the conservation stamp. Does anyone know if this can be purchased online...

Thanks for the info FWB. I have a type 2 license. Season is from Oct5-Oct 31. Is the second season as bad as the one that starts in September as far as number of people hunting? Or should I avoid the first couple days? From what I am hearing/reading the property lines and finding the...

Nice one!

Thanks again HuntingGold and to everyone else for the info. As I said, I am looking for anything I can get. Jduckhunter PM is sent. I do have a hand held GPS. I bought the Wyoming map from HuntingGPSmaps.com This will show all BLM/government and private lands along with names of owners. I...

Thanks for the info HuntingGold I will check it out. I talked to the game warden before I put in for the tag. They where EXTREAMLY helpful. I have a couple of questions already written down for another call in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the input!

Well, I have got my pronghorn tag for area 46 in Wyoming. My dad and I are going to try the DIY route. Never been hunting out west. So I am looking for any info you wonderful people could provide. Tips pointers, anything would help. I would love to camp but with my dads age, he said his...

Love it! That Roe is a stud. I was there with my dad from 1995-1998. I was 16 at the time and went throught the process of getting my license. Was worth every second. Got to go out with one of my dads warrant officers who had a lease. Both times I got to choose the stand I wanted to sit...

Welcome to AH. Best if luck on your upcoming hunt!

Ernest, Do you have a price list for the other animals you have to offer?

Welcome to AH! As all have said, great group of folks here!

For me it is my daughters first turkey hunt here in Ohio. Hopefully a successful one! Then I am going out on a limb for myself and doing a DIY pronghorn hunt in Wyoming as well. I just need to pick an area!! I cant decide so any help would be appreciated!! Got to get the application in soon.

Pictures of the big ones in India would be nice! :D

Andrew, welcome to AH! +1 to Bricks request!

welcome to AH!

Go to Africa. That will be just about the only response you will get from most of us! We are all addicts. Its like asking an alcoholic if they want an apple juice, a coke, or a bottle of Jack Daniel's? JD will be chosen every time. Yes some will want the JD and coke, but most will want the...

Welcome to AH. Nice looking web sight as well. This is the one thing I love about hunting. You can do it just about anywhere. Best of luck on your up coming hunt!

I used Rifle Permits as well. They where a great help. It is an added cost, but it was also piece of mind. I know others do it themselves, but we just didn't want to take the risk. As far as ammo goes. My dad had both guns registered in his name. This kept us to just one person doing the...

Welcome to AH!

First, welcome to AH, Second not one of us cares how old the stories or pics are. We are all junkies and will listen to anything having to do with hunting!

Welcome to AH!!

I think the more Zoom you can get, the better. Quality is huge. I had a Fuji when I went with my dad. Didn't cost a lot ($200?) It was a 12mp 26 zoom. It came in real handy when the animals are on the other hill side. You could zoom in and take a photo. It was like they where 50 yards off...
