    Comment by 'Connor Baumgarten' in media 'A very rare hunting prize a four-tusked Elephant'

    I’ve done some digging and found where and when this elephant was hunted but not how or why. Apparently it was hunted in Sudan 1919

    Rare/expensive plains game species

    There’s some rarer subspecies of bushbuck. Like the Menelik bushbuck And there’s that one sup species of sitatunga that lives on one island in Uganda(I can’t remember the name)

    First Safari - I’ll hunt plains game - What caliber?

    30-06 are great for most of that list. From my experience, wildebeest are stupidly tough. So I suggest using something bigger for them. But 30-06 is still a really good choice

    Nilgai hunt

    McAllen Texas. You can hunt free range Nilgai on public land and you can hunt them at night because their nocturnal animals. My guides name was Tony, I didn’t set up the hunt I went on so I don’t know his information but if you can find him he’s very experienced at hunting Nilgai and he’s, I...

    What did you do with your Cape buffalo skin?

    A saddle or a pair of boots would be some cool things to have.

    What TV hunting personality?

    For me I would either go with J Alan Smith going for a big old safari in Tanzania, or I would go with Jim Shockey for some mountain hunting. I would also like to mention TIA(This Is Africa)

    Anyone tried Beck Boots? Any other boot makers to consider?

    To break your boots in. Fill them with water, then you walk a mile in your boots. Another thing I like to do is apply a thin coat of neatsfoot oil(olive oil works too) on the inside of the boot in the area that is giving you some pain, and then walk a mile. However if you apply too much it will...

    Threats to Hunting

    The Infighting between hunters decently gets me scared for the future of hunting as a hole. So often I see hunter vs hunter arguments that get way to nasty and it makes hunting look bad to everyone outside of the hunting world.

    Mounting a pair of Cape Buffalo Photo request

    Personally I would do one as taxidermy and the other as a skull mount.

    Of all the African game meat, which is your favourite? How would you rank them?

    I’ve heard eland is crazy good eating. my dad would vouch for zebra, nyala and kudu. From what I’ve had, I really like gemsbok and sable.

    Any new rifles announced at this year's DSC / SCI?

    I wasn’t there, but Ron Spumer made a video short about a boltless bolt action rifle from Bally Bradshaw

    Saw this on a FB page today

    I once talked to a guy with the skull of a cannibal in his trophy room(I’m pretty sure he got it from an auction). He had some pretty incredible stuff in there.

    Jet lag- how do you handle if?

    I like to endure the majority of the flight awake(with the occasional Power Nap). you loose two cups of water for every hour your on a flight so I stay up and take every advantage for water I can(it’s important to stay hydrated while on a flight).When it comes to food it’s important to eat, but...

    Strange Sightings, Creepy Feelings

    So you know that feeling of something watching you? Turns out you already saw the thing looking at you, but your subconsciousness doesn’t know that yet. It makes for good hunting knowledge, there might be a animal you saw but you don’t know, so it makes you stop and take a more careful look...

    Handgun for wolf protection

    Is it disrespectful to the animal?

    I’ve heard of southern and eastern kudu but never an Antarctic kudu

    Canada bans import / export of elephant / rhino ivory (hunt trophies also)

    I have to disagree with the replica taxidermy being fake. Replica fish mounts are far superior to the traditional skin mounted fish. Plus on every taxidermy mount ever they fake the eyes and mouths. You still do the same hunt nothing changes there . It’s just a different way of putting your...

    Canada bans import / export of elephant / rhino ivory (hunt trophies also)

    Realistically these bands can’t stop you from elephant though. You can get replica taxidermy that’s arguably better than the normal way, and they can’t control what other countries do with their animals. And they can’t control where you go on vacation. I see nothing but lopeholes with these...

    Canada bans import / export of elephant / rhino ivory (hunt trophies also)

    Ultimately pretty meh in my opinion. So far it seems like it’s going to be Trump vs Biden again. But to me…meh

    Canada bans import / export of elephant / rhino ivory (hunt trophies also)

    One more reason to add to the Canada sucks list. To any Canadians reading, you really need to kick out Justin Trudeau. He’s a parasite on you guys up there….we’re not doing much better down here but at least Biden doesn’t clap for literal N@zi’s

    Darn houses! You’d think that for the price you paid for one you would get something that doesn’t need constant maintenance.

    Sable taxidermy ideas

    Fighting pose on a shoulder mount would be really cool to have. I saw a gemsbok charging shoulder mount one time and been wanting one like that since.

    UK Trophy Bill

    If it does go forward all I see are loopholes to it. Can’t bring a gun? No problem just rent one Can’t bring back the skins and horns? No problem reproduction taxidermy is getting really Good now. Realistically there is no way the government can stop you from hunting in Africa. They can’t...
