    But how does it taste?

    Yes, we also toured the butcher shop. Something I asked to do as I process meat as a hobbyist. They bring the game in one side and commercially sourced meat the other. I believe the UK allow accredited hunters to sell to the larder so a lot of Venison goes into the food chain. We have Kangaroo...

    But how does it taste?

    No problems with the food there. They own a butcher shop so I bet the sausages are going to be done professionally. We ate a variety of game and from memory I liked the Gemsbok the most. We had several meals with a variety of of blackstrap on the Brai that would have come from a previous...

    $1k budget for Scope

    My longest shot in South Africa was ranged at 235m by the PH. 10 animals taken on the package all on the same property and most inside 200 I believe. There probably are opportunities to take long shots if you prefer and various opportunities might present if you are geared up and clued up...

    $1k budget for Scope

    Most “Hunting scopes” are second focal plane. The reticle does not change its size as you zoom the range of magnification. First Focal Plane scopes have the reticle set in a different position in the order of the lense assembly. Something like that. What’s important is First Focal Plane is...

    $1k budget for Scope

    Leupold and Swarovski are good lightweight hunting scopes. Meopta are clear but a heavier unit. How often do you shoot out to 3-400? It might be a consideration in magnification but it’s a personal preference too. I mostly look at 3-9x40 as a hunting scope but it’s what is right for you. I...

    22-250 and 243 for "small" plains game

    6.5x55 has certainly been proven for hunting and would probably hit the mark. The 6.5 creedmoor will do the job with hunting projectiles. It’s probably more readily available in various rifle and ammo options too.

    Dire Wolves brought back from extinction

    +1, and the same for the Jurassic park reference. Science should focus on slowing the degradation of anything that is going extinct not throw money and resources at something that suits the purpose of a few individuals who are burning resources to genetically engineer something to see what it...

    Dire Wolves brought back from extinction

    So, it’s like an artists impression? We don’t really know what Dire wolves look like. Well fossilised but not fresh, like a Mammoth. For all we know the prehistoric animals could have been Bright Pink or Fluorescent Orange. We assume they were green for camouflage but they did not survive...

    Snake taxidermied in South Africa and imported to the US?

    Shoot first, ask questions later. By chance if you can import there’s a bonus.

    22-250 and 243 for "small" plains game

    I like the modern version, the 7mm-08 perhaps I should say I like both versions but I own a 7mm-08 and had great success shooting pigs and foxes from the vehicle
