    Heading to Mongolia this August... gear recommendations?

    Hunted there twice in late 80’s Moral Stag and Ibex. It was a hell of adventur, down vortex jacket was my best friend. In talking to those who offer these hunts now at DSC & SCI I think it’s likely much less ”wild and woolly“ now! But trust me it will be an adventure

    Of all the African game meat, which is your favourite? How would you rank them?

    have found any meat in Africa that wasn’t excellent! Only issue it is often overcooked like any wild red meat anything more than medium rare is overcooked Sable, eland, oryx, Nyla, buffalo tenderloin in that order

    Still worth buying a 338 WinMag if I own a 375?

    I’m part of the certified long range hunting craze for more than a decade so 338’s are a classic part of that! In the mountain west where I hunt all fall into early winter a 4-700 yard shot is not long range, 7-1100yd is. I’ve hunted elk for more than 50 years with most years multiple tags...

    Mediums that perform

    300WM, 375H&H,470NE,30-06 are the most frequently found ammo in hunt camps in case your ammo doesn't show up (often a camp gun or 2 in those calibers) I'm so far a 2-3 gun guy but honestly why anything more than a really good 375H&H!
