You didn't by chance hunt the North Pole, did you? :) Welcome aboard!!

Thank you all for your kind words. It makes the detailed process of writing/retelling a worth while effort.

Thanks, it was a lot of fun and worth doing again. I'm guessing it would be the same Panama guys.

DAY 4 I slept in today as early morning starts aren't required for Blackbuck hunting. I enjoyed the morning around camp taking some photos and talking to “Austin” the 3rd brother/owner. I also spent some time with the chef who prepared amazing meals throughout the week including a 5-course...

Blake Shelton or Kid Rock Either would be a lot of laughs in any camp.

DAY 3 6:30 wake up and the day begins. I traded in #7 for a .375 H&H Argentina build with a Mauser action. Upon inspection the bolt was running a little stiff, so I had Peter put a little lubricant on her and she was soon cycling smooth as glass. The plan this morning was to head to the far...

Thanks. Both stags were single-shot pass throughs with no bullet recovery. I guess I never even asked what it was I was shooting those first 2 days. I was surprised the first was an end-to-end pass through. The lack of blood I suppose was due to the bit high entrance and exit. Neither were...

DAY 2: 5:15 wake up and the day begins. Normally I’m not much of a breakfast person so I settled for some toast, then grabbed #7 and was the first out the door. Ese and I headed in the same direction as the day before while still dark. 15 minutes later we rolled to a stopped and stepped out to...

DAY 1 5:15 wake up and the day begins. I was full of anticipation for the day that lay ahead. It took a little longer than planned to get my gear organized and out the door. Mostly because I’m always that way on the first day of a hunt plus I knew we were expecting an unseasonable hot day...

I just returned from a great adventure to Argentina with @MG Hunting. This was a 5-day hunt for Red Stag as the primary animal. Time and luck permitting, I would then see what else Argentina had to offer. The actual hunt dates were March 29-April 2 with temperature highs ranging from 92 degrees...

I was actually talking to an outfitter last night about this at a show. His hunts are over bait in Alberta during Jan/Feb, only books 2 hunters at a time, and claims 80% success on opportunity. PM me if you want his contact information.

You might want to check out the "Naked and Afraid" outfitters. It's more of a DIY, drop camp kind of deal. Plenty of fishing and hunting off the beaten track. You could save on the car rental as they will take you there and pick you up when done.

Last week I read "The Rediscovered Country" by Stewart Edward White on his 1913 safari in German East Africa. He used his Springfield on some lion and leopard. Although preferring his .405 WIN, it seems he used whatever rifle he had in his hands. Bullets used were described as spitzer pointed...

I'm a 6 months or less kind of guy and prefer 3-4 months out. For me, I've regretted a few of the multi-year wait hunts. I simply find that by the time that hunt arrives, I've lost some interest and would rather be hunting a different country, area, or species.

Two years ago, on return from an Alberta bear hunt, the airline "lost" my 60lb bag of clothes and gear. So on the vortex website, I filed a replacement claim. I explained that although my Razor HDs were safe in my carry on bag, I lost my "lucky" Vortex hat which, I received free with my...

You need to work on spreading those out in the future... looks like too much fun in too short of span. :)

March: Argentina: Red Stag, Buffalo (MG Hunting) September: Romania: Red Stag (Huntromania) November: Iowa bowhunting whitetail (non-sponsor) Still trying to figure out if I can slip Africa in somewhere, or else save up for something big in '25

Welcome Aboard.... from South Central Wisconsin

Outstanding adventure that I throughly enjoyed. Thank you for sharing Bruce.

Cookie Cutter Shark. Seen it on TV once.

What a unique and interesting experience.... can't wait to hear the rest.

I went on a few beaver hunts during my college years that I regretted the next day. Limits were usually met.

Thank you @WAB for the interesting and informative report. I'll have to admit, I hadn't seriously looked at Romania before but will be reaching out for more information now.

Ditto on black bear in remote areas. My most unforgettable, non-African hunt was in the North-West corner of Alberta. At least one bear up my tree every night I hunted, and never hunted the same tree twice. Some curious, but most just wanted to run me off. One came up 3 times. Another up the...

I have 5 boxes of .416 Rigby, Barnes VOR-TX 400GR I'd let go for $650 if interested.

Especially this last week or so....

Hi Mark, Assuming these are the hickory ones? What is longest section length?

Hell, I would jump in a time machine and hunt them all. With my 600NE in hand, I would travel from clan to clan to sort out the local issues. Stories would be told, and songs would be sung of my epic adventures. In exchange for my services, I would have breeding rights to the local clan's fair...

On a recent hunt, the camp expectation was 2-3 hours per day generator use and nightly temps in the 40s. I purchased 4 Freedom V2 batteries for the trip. Each night, the consumption of one battery was between 50-60%. The 2-3 hours of generator use fully recharged for the following night. So, in...

Very nice. What is LOP?

Funny. I've often wondered why the UP was not part of Wisconsin anyway. From a geographic and ideology perspective it makes more sense. What would it take to make this happen? A couple tanks and dozen troops?

I've been bluff charged a couple times by black bear as well..... trying to run me off their bait/kill site.

Ordered today. Thanks @rookhawk for organizing.

From my experience last year, entry was a non issue. (I was traveling with a bow but watched dozens others with rifles and no issues or delays from any) However, make damn sure on your return you have plenty of extra time. You should be good if Edmonton is your port of exit, and not connecting...

Thanks for sharing... I can totally relate to your background story.. been there. I'm down in the South/Central part of the state if you're ever in the area. And, BTW, your sunset photo is awesome..

Welcome aboard, Jared. Which part of Wisconsin? There are quite a few of us on here.

Thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Thank you for sharing.
