He musta blinked…

Just lucky timing

I’ll give them a good home.

Don’t end the rant, please. Saving $100 a week while making $18 an hour (40 hour work week) is very admirable. Consider that after taking out taxes, Fed and State if in California, you are really looking at $1,616 a month take home pay. With a wife and two kids, That my friend, is determination.

Thanks for the invite

I’m agreeing with everything you’re saying. Thank you and I’ll leave it at that.

Since when do people working for The ranchers would not be paying wages to the hunters. The hunters pay their own way to and from the ranch. How is the ranch putting out any monies? Any of the people I have helped for free generally, and happily, fed me and gave me a place to sleep if needed...

If employees were paid by employers so the employee wasn’t dependent on tips to make a living, a tip would be just that, a tip.

And while I’m on the subject, it has been mentioned that cull hunts might be a good way to hunt at a reduced price. My understanding of the word “cull” is it is a necessary function to wean out the unprofitable animals competing for food, mates, etc. This leaves the more attractive animals for...

I can be if you waant me to be … wait… are you trying to make fun of me?

Thank you for your information. I’m not in a position, as of now, to make a commitment for any hunts. When I can you will be notified.

I can understand that stationary hospitality is easier to facilitate than a remote camp. Ironic that one pays more for less convenience.

Thank you

Would the less expensive package be as if one was really hunting, living in tents, cooking over a campfire etc?

Except for a few scratches you look good to me. It doesn’t appear in the picture you are wearing a spare tire so I guess if you’re willing you should still be good at 70.

I have heard the same thing about hunting Alaska

Anyone my age, 69, or older

I have no budget now as I don’t have a date as of yet. A goal is a fair chase where the outcome could go to either party involved. I’m probably wrong and with no experience, the giraffe compared to other game, seems like a foregone conclusion.

It is a real post. The first post was originally an attempt, now recognized as not, for levity championing special treatment for senior citizens. Please accept my apologies for starting a maelstrom of serious replies.

I’m trying to put into perspective 750,000 acres of hunting grounds in Africa. The closest I could relate to personally was when I worked on cattle ranches in Northern Nevada. The larger ones claimed over 1,000,000 acres, mostly BLM. I remember taking many hours driving in a vehicle before...

Thanks to all for the thoughtful suggestions and succinct calculations for cost to hire a safari company. After careful consideration I think I will look into going “Mano y Tall Grass”. Anyone with experience going solo?

I think that the answer to who is eligible to be a senior, for me, would be a person 66 years of age or older. But, I know that people older than 40, in California, can file on someone who makes an old person joke if said person is made to feel bad about themself. And, some union contracts say...

I thought that maybe some company would respect my contribution during my working years and would honor that by a rate reduction.

I think I no the answer but on the off chance there is…

Got it

It is. Please send your address in a PM

rcbs little dandy It has one powder rotor in it. I think I have a couple more if I can find them.

I’m looking to trade my 45-70 straight across for a 458 win mag or something comparable. The scope is a Tasco. This gun was made prior to Marlin’s problems. The reason for trading is I don’t shoot it much, probably less than 75 rounds through the barrel. I reload for it so dies and brass (50...

What were you doing for the those 90 yards after you fired your rifle? We’re you even with the PH or 2 steps to the rear?

I’d like to go to South Africa but probably won’t. I just don’t have a burning desire to make it happen. I wonder, not really hard though, what the non-safari working natives are thinking when, a hunter with his or her entourage in tow, goes driving past. Me Jealous some? Maybe. Although it...

Thanks. Is it normal for a government Game Scout to accompany hunting parties? This is the first time I have read this on this website, or any other.

Thank you.

I have a question. The scenario is while looking for DG game a wounded DG (elephant) shot by a hunter from another hunting party crosses your path. Do you kill it or let it keep going on its way. If you do kill it do you have to claim it as yours.

I have cast boolits for all my rifles and handguns. I have had good results on the range and would not hesitate using them for hunting if, I didn’t live in California. I generally use Alox, gas check for rifles, size and shoot.

Another NorCal retired LEO new member from Elk Grove. I’m a hunter for many years without success. I enjoy the chase, fortunately.

Thanks but I think I have some in the pipeline

Send me a pm for the dies

I’m interested if they are available

I sent it. I hope I did it correctly

PM on the way

I’m interested if they are available

My wife and I have been married 40 years. I get the same instructions now as I did as a newlywed: I’m not funny so don’t make any jokes and don’t embarrass her.

I’d say we can agree on that.

Well that rules you out. Another mystery for me unsolved. Now I just have to figure out why my shots on target today didn’t hit where I told them to hit. Darn wind, sun, noise, everything but me.

Mine goes away for a few days on business? every few weeks and then for a week she is gone. Sound familiar?

whatever you want to talk about go for it. I would just suggest that if you find yourself disagreeing do it quietly and to yourself.

Don’t worry about a picture, she’s on her way now. Be aware of your surroundings sir.
