Not since Clinton was in office apparently.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Any time in May and most of June works. Shoot me a PM. Sounds like fun.

Having read the laws on bringing ammo into Zimbabwe before I went, I saw nothing regarding counting the number of cartridges going in and comparing that to the number coming out. They go by the weight. I am also white certain that no one would expect a hunter to pick up every empty case fired...

I went through South Africa and Hunter in Zimbabwe the year before last. No one checked anything except to be sure that I was not taking in more than the 5 kilo limit. I could have taken ammunition for any rifle. Nobody looked to check the head stamp on the cases, counted shells or cared what I...

A classic combination for a safari. If you had to, you could get by with just the .375, but where's the fun in that? I, for one, do not like using a rifle and ammo that I'm unfamiliar with. You will be well set with the rifles you've selected.

I have been a hunter for almost all of my life. I most certainly have no.problem with.the.killing of an animal. I did learn from my father and grandfather that any animal that you remove, even.mice or coyotes, are to be Killed with the least amount of pain or suffering possible. Cruelty is to be...

Cars?

I'm not sure which of the many predators got them, but we found a few piles of feathers where something did. Also a lot of the young birds just disapeared. Of course, the peacocks were cheap in comparison to another aunt that lost two horses to a mountain lion. My friends in Africa and Central...

So where are you with wild turkeys and peacocks? My uncle used to keep a few peacocks around the home thing camp cabin,, but eventually the foxes, racoons, bobcats, and coyotes got them all.

Good scope. It's what I have on my .300:WM. To me, any scope was th a bell I've 40-44mm and power over 12x is just "top heavy" on a hunting rifle.

I do not know Bill, nor have I ever shot Swift bullets. I would however like to think that I knew at least the tiniest bit about the subject before I labeled someone a "shitty employer." The troll owes an apology, but I doubt that we will see one.

Beautiful!

That is the way I always thought a No. 1 should look. How about a few more pics to show the engraving and the fore-end?

And when you go too far with that you have to charge too much for your product. People don't buy, and you go out of business. No jobs and no bullets.

I sill hope you're wrong, but you are most likely right. Damn.

It's closed. I was a member there. The county libs got us.

You may be right, but I hope you're.not. The fact that they convicted and sentenced the armorer will.make it difficult to allow him to walk. He was.the person in charge, and he pulled the trigger.

I've only hunted in Zimbabwe. Last time wss a new area for me, so I left my range finder on my hunting belt where it normally is. Never even thought about taking it out of the pouch. While hunting the longest shot was on a bushbuck at about 200 yards. The property manager asked.me to take an...

I would guess that even though you had just seen him do that, you looked to be sure that it was safe before you did anything else with it. You might even have thought about it at the time. That's just what people who know about guns do.

What? You mean that none of your guns ever jumped out of the cabinet and started shooting at people without supervision? I'm shocked! The Hollywood liberal Democrats keep telling us that violence is the fault of the guns. People just happen to be victimized by them. You know the Liberals are...

There shouldn't have been, but there were. The armorer and the person in charge, Baldwin, were both responsible for the death. He should receive at least as much time as the armorer. Hopefully he'll.get more as the person.in charge and being the actual shooter.

She was stupid, but she didn't pull the trigger. Baldwin should receive not one day less than the armorer. He didn't check the gun as required by policy and then fired the lethal bullet. My concern is that he'll receive "Community Service" which he would do by making television ads expounding on...

A gathering of hunters and shooting hunting rifles. Sounds like fun to me! I'll.be watching.

I got a copy of The Perfect Shot 2 mini. It was easy to pack in my carry-on. I found it to be extremely helpful. The first buffalo I shot was before the book was printed, and the bull didn't want to lay down and die. I broke his neck when he was about ten feet from the PH. The shoulder had been...

I live in Western Washington. What did you have in mind?

I have all days worn pants while hunting. Shorts have never been my thing, unless I'm in high heat and humidity (Yucatan Mexico and Be!ize). I spent most of my life in Northern California where day time temps during deer season usually ran somewhere between 85 and 100 degrees. I once packed a...

Well, he said he identified as a dog, and claimed to be legally protected under anti discrimination laws

Yes, several times with old style cup and core bullets. One was a blacktail buck at about 250 yards. He was quartered away and the bullet hit him in the ribs. It was a 150 grain Sierra Gameking. I found the jacket up in the front of the chest cavity. I also shot another blacktail at about 35...

Not necessarily. You can drive around almost anywhere and see homeless camps. Street corners have people joule doing up signs saying, "Homeless. Anything helps. God bless." Sometimes they through in that they're veterans. Then go into almost any.retail store or restaurant, or almost any other...

Does this mean I'm over my limit?

I'm thinking Action Bob is fortunate too! God bless you both, Doug

Not if she shoots a cape buffalo with it. Giraffe isn't a good idea either.

Yes, Vic Falls is well worth seeing. We stayed nearby at A'Zambezi, which was a very nice place. We also took a day from there to tour Chobe National Park. That's a good way to see local wildlife.

That was fun, but I still don't want to get close enough to touch a big croc, much less kiss one. Remember the "tame" warthog story?

At least fossil crocs don't bite.

Maybe we should buy a bunch of them and release them into the Rio Grande?

Many people are afraid of snakes. I don't like them much, especially the venomous ones, but I'm not afraid of them. Big crocs though, scare the hell out of me!

Bob, you recommended a .35 Whelan instead of a .243? I'm shocked! Okay, that was a joke, mate.

In Zimbabwe 40 years ago, I was perplexed by the term "just now" which means later. I was born in California as were my parents and all.of my grandparents. We referred to ourselves as "Natives" to that state. Do not ask a Boer if he doesn't s a native. It will.not go over well. I was really...

I took my.wife on her first Africa trip in August of '22. I was hunting in Zimbabwe. We spent 3 days before he hunt at a very nice hotel (A'Zambezi) and spent one day touring Chobe National Park. Park animals are acclimated to human tragic and go about their lives while ignoring the people, and...

Yeah, I know. It's kind of like someone my age having a conversation with someone in their twenties. We're separated by a common language.

What? You never went into a restaurant and made an order to go (Togo)?

There's something to be said for the old saw: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." CRF rifles in adequate calibers still work just as well as ever.

I've only met him once, and that was some years ago. We talked buffalo.for a little bit, and he signed a copy of a book for me. He seemed like a good guy.to.me.

If you get the .375 or .416 you can use that on any dangerous game and eland. Use your 7-08 for everything.else. You'll be fine. Have a great hunt and let us know how it went.

I was also thinking along these lines, but there may a problem with overall cartridge length. To fit into the magazine box of some short action 7-08s the 170 or 175 grain bullets may.have to be seated too deeply. I haven't tried it in my Model 7, but I was surprised at how far in I had to seat...

I don't think the answer is as simple as that. If you read the original question,you'll see that he does reload now, but has been "spooked" by some of the opinions in AH that state that no one should ever use hand loads for dangerous game. Yes, we all know who that would be. Personally, I've had...

I have been hunting blacktail deer with a 7-08..I really like the 140 grain AccuBonds. I've only killed one buck with this combination. He was angled away at 196 yards. I hit him just in front of the last rib. The bullet broke the next two ribs, went.up.through the chest cavity, and exited out...

I was referring to.two stadiums that I wss aware of. One in Washington.and one in California. The teams demanded new stadiums, but when it went up.for a vote by referendum vote, the voters said no. The teams said if they didn't get the new facilities that they demanded they would move the teams...
