    Disgusting "hunting" method for Tahr

    I hope everybody involved will get punished. I really don't understand why some trophy collectors want to do this. http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2014/05/exclusive-helicopter-hazing-tahr-caught-camera/#more-134726

    Tikka T3 CTR

    I got an urge to buy a new gun again. I have been looking at the new Tikka T3 CTR that comes in 260 Rem and 308 Win. It has a detachable 10-shot steel magazine and the muzzle is factory threaded for a silencer if you want to use that. Would be a great gun for driven boars and/or culling :)

    How dangerous is it to hunt a Leopard?

    How dangerous is it to hunt a Leopard? I have the impression that they are of no threat to the hunter and PH at all unless you wound one.

    Just wanted to share 2 hunts I had with my kids in Sweden this year. My kids are a 7 year old boy, Hans and a 4 year old girl, Sofie. On the first hunt I went with my boy only while my daughter stayed with my sister. We hunted Roe bucks for a few days and we didn't do to bad :) On the...

    120 grain Barnes TTSX in my 6.5-06

    I went to the shooting range yesterday to chrono my 6.5-06 reloads with the 120 grains Barnes TTSX bullet. I reloaded the ammo last year and used it last autumn when hunting Fallow deer and Roe deer with great results. The precision is great with 3 shot groups under 1/2" at 100 meters. The...

    String jumpers?

    Since I am going to SA next year to spot and stalk hunt with my bow, I would like some input on what animals that are at high risk of being string jumpers. Is any of them so skittish that you always should aim very low or even under their chest when hunting them with a bow? I am confident...

    Not happy with my trophies

    I just got the crate with my trophies today and opened it with great expectations. I got really disappointed when I wrapped out the European mounts and skins. I really hope this not how taxidermy work is usually done in SA. I had one Kudu skin, one Oryx skin and one Black Wildebeest tail...

    175 grain Xbow Trick

    Yesterday I got a package from Slick Trick containing 6 175grain Xbow Trick broadheads and 6 175grain field points. They use the same blades as my 125 grain Slick Trick Magnums and they look really good. I like the fact that they have a longer point than the 125 grain before the blades. I...

    Why the high trophy fee for Waterbucks?

    It is one thing that has puzzled me for some time and that is the trophy fees for Waterbucks at all places. To me it seems high to very high compared with many other species. Are there in general so few of them and that is the reason for the rather high fee? Or are they such a popular trophy...

    SOUTH AFRICA: My First Hunting Trip In Africa

    I was asked to write a report on my hunting trip in South Africa this year, but since I am not a good writer(usually becomes very boring), I will mostly just put in some pics:) I went to hunt at Gers Safaris/Klein Papkuil and I really enjoyed my stay and hunt with them. Very nice people and the...
