Not at a trophy fee rate. But at a cull rate, for sure!!

I didn’t want to hi-jack the Upland shotguns thread. But thought it would be fun to post some of my personal GoPro videos of upland hunts. Anyone else have videos they want to share, please do so. I love personally made hunting videos. These are just short slow-mo cuts of close pheasant...

Another pic of the 3 shot day. My little lab couldn’t get through this drift to get the last bird. I had to break trail.

I’d really like a nice SxS, but have some other wants ahead of it. I mainly use my Benelli performance shop ultralight. If I’m feeling frisky I’ll use my cheapie Turkish SxS. Bottom pic was my first 3 shot, 3 bird day. Got into them in drifted over cattails and couldn’t miss

Also, if you are an appraiser. I did have a client once who was an appraiser from Canada. Her and her husband emigrated to our area 15-20 years ago. I don’t know what process she went through for certification, but she was a licensed real estate appraiser in Missouri. Lot is work for that now...

I should add about Missouri, we have a state constitution that guarantees us the right to fish, trap and hunt.

Missouri is one of the largest cattle producing states in the US. Also a lot of work available for land appraisers if you can get certified. When my family ran cattle, we ran one cow for every 3 acres we owned. We got out of the cow business (we’re all lawyers actually and ran out of time) and...

Yeah it would be a DG rifle. Most likely a 404 or 416 Rigby

So forgive me for the stupid questions. I’ve never been one to build a rifle or have work done. I usually shop around for something I want and scope it. And for many years I’ve been almost entirely bow only in the US, so I don’t have a ton of rifle knowledge. Especially what I want here. I’ve...

I have personally hunted with Tholo safaris and HIGHLY recommend. I hunted NG3. A guy I met at the airport hunted with them on their home ground and killed a really good cat too

I’ve only been a few times. But in my very limited experience, the good ones will tailor the hunt to what you want. Don’t want to shoot from the car. . . Tell them!! Want to stalk and walk and track and be a part of it . . . Tell them My first safari was with Crusader Safaris in the eastern...

Just a hair under 30”

Nothing like these. No “injuries” luckily. Wrenched my back a few miles into a wilderness on a solo mule deer hunt. Tripped and jammed my wrist badly on a Russian snow sheep hunt. Didn’t end up being broken when it was X rayed back home. Walked myself into dehydration a few times.

Yep. I’d rather watch B roll footage of animals or landscape, with a voiceover. Than a guy sitting and talking.
