    Great American outdoor show

    We went the first day and stayed at Red Lion, Definitely a large crowd. A few sponsors were there. I took a few minutes to talk with Dawie Kemp of Kemp safaris. It’s definitely a two day show if you want to see everything.

    Ideal Couger bullet?

    I personally used a 41 magnum with a heavy lead bullet. I’ve seen them taken with .243, 7-08, 44 mag, 308 and 30-06. All the rifle calibers were loaded with Nosler partitions. No excessive damage to the hide.

    To Sling or not to Sling a Dangerous Game Rifle, That is the Question

    I personally don’t use slings or scope covers on any dangerous game rifles. Only time I ever use a sling is back country mountain hunt.

    Leupold QD scope mounts 458

    I have them on a 375 & 458 Never had an issue on either. I’m guessing over 500 rounds or more on each rifle.

    What is the craziest lengths you have went to in order to pay for a hunt?

    My first safari I worked minimum wage, cut grass, washed cars at only 19 (1989) Over the years I never lived beyond my means, never kept up with the Jones and have traveled and hunt extensively. It all what you want, a big house isn’t my cup of tea, hunting is. It boils down to how bad you want...

    For Those Who Were Not Planning Safari In The 1980's, Like I Was

    Lol I think I was making $3.10 or $3.35 an hour, then working side jobs to pay for the trip. It changed my life and made who I am today.
