I had a random thought pop back into my head this weekend. I was cleaning up old hunting dvds that my wife is claiming take up too much space. I ran across my copy of Tom Miranda’s super slam that he filmed back in the day. It has me thinking now. Is there anyone in the US that is considering...

I’m happy to say that the Mrs took her first deer over the weekend. My family has a rich tradition of pure DIY during deer season. Including butchering everything ourselves. Just curious what everyone prefers to do when hunting near home. I have taken deer to a butcher, but have done it myself...

Well, I got the job offer I’ve been busting my butt to get. While that is a blessing, we are moving. Just curious if there are any AH members within a not-too-terrible drive from Bloomington, IL. Looking to meet up with some hunters in that area. Just send me a PM.

I hope everyone in the states are having a good deer season so far. I am striking out on a very nice deer that I have pictured earlier in the year. Let me know how you all are doing. I will leave a little picture of my current target.

Good morning everyone, Your friendly, young, IL resident here. So when I first joined AH I was really interested in how to financially set myself up for a long hunting career. I can say that I have been successful, but with a wrinkle. Originally, I started posting about how everyone saves and...

Hello all, I hope my post finds everyone well during the holiday season. I recently purchased my first .375 and am waiting for it to be delivered to my local FFL. My question for all who have experience with the caliber is rather simple. In your opinion, is a .375 considered a universal 1...

I am not for sure if this is the correct place for this post. I have never been to the DSC convention and am curious if it is worth the trip. I would need to fly down and am curious if any members frequent the convention and can provide their opinion. I also understand that this is an odd year...

Of course, being a new member and not yet taken my first trip to Africa has me exploring every option under the sun and planning for that first trip. I have seen so many posts about making memories, but haven’t come across a thread about capturing a hunt on video. I certainly see the value in...

I have been wrestling with the idea of hunting for DG on my first safari. Has anyone else hunted for a buff or leopard on their first trip?

With all of the travel restrictions going on, I am seriously considering updating quite a bit of my hunting gear. Anyone else having the same thoughts?

Just wanting to throw a question out there for the more experienced hunters out there. How do you eventually choose where you will be hunting for your next PG safari? Do you base it off of trophy quality? If so, what resources are you using? Is it more based on your relationship with a PH or...

Everyone knows that our pictures are invaluable from hunting trips. I keep 100s of pictures from previous fishing trips on a spare hard drive along with family photos. Sadly, many of my fishing pictures were taken with my cell phone. I am wanting to upgrade and purchase a real camera to start...

This may be rehashing an old post, so please forgive my ignorance if I have not ran across it yet. I am curious to discuss your dream safari. From location, species, duration, time of year, firearm of choice, etc. Everyone has to have one whether you have been lucky to check a hunt of the...

I'm sure that there are many well accomplished hunters on this forum that have traveled internationally to fulfill their bucket list hunts. For me, I am starting on the journey for preparing my personal finances while I still have time (28 years old). I am going to detail my strategy below...

I have been doing a lot of researching and looking at reviews/references regarding outfitters in RSA. I have noticed that John X keeps getting solid reviews for PG especially over the past 5 years. Is there anyone that has hunted with them in the past that can provide some feedback?

I am very excited to become a new member of the forum. I am in the very early stages of planning my first safari (working on getting my personal finances in order). Can't wait to interact with everyone and get some very valuable advice from some fellow hunting enthusiasts.
