    Roe Buck Hunting In Transylvania 2025!

    I hunted with Marius in 2022 and I think this is the exact same area. It was a really good hunt with plenty of nice bucks, fantastic hilly environment and Marius is a VERY professional hunter! I've hunted for nearly 15 years and I regularly see roe deers from my house, yet I learnt a lot from...

    Anyone loading .416 300gr Barnes TSX?

    Thanks Idmay375! I had in my mind to try to make a return in 2026 or 2027 but got a good offer for the 2025 season so I'm currently making a detailed budget to see if I could make it back to the Sabrisa Ranch and the great operation by Chris Troskie.

    Giraffe hide as bedspread?

    Thanks @EXECUTIVE HUNT AFRICA, it looks really nice but as many have pointed out, the hair seems to be very rough, do you think it would still be comfy to sit/lay on such a couch?

    Giraffe hide as bedspread?

    I did use a taxidermist in SA two years ago and they tanned my buffalo hide and made a really nice apron and a rifle case and the other hides (flatskins) where also very well made so I do trust that company quite a bit (they also did a pretty complex Sable mount for me to fit the stairwell, they...

    Giraffe hide as bedspread?

    Haha, I was laughing out loud when I read this. I DO have a very understanding wife!! The rule to follow is simple and workable - "No DT's on the ground floor" (DT's = Dead Things, which means skulls/horns/antlers etc, skins do not fall into this category). In the stairwell, basement and garage...

    Giraffe hide as bedspread?

    Thanks for all the input. The picture is of a print blanket but you get idea of what I had in mind. I'm not to worried about it being coarse as I'd remove it every evening but it seems it will be a bit stiff to roll/fold and to "fall" nicely over the bed and with a 4mm thickness I guess it will...

    Giraffe hide as bedspread?

    Hi all! I'm looking into a giraffe hunt for 2025 and I had the idea of making a bedspread of the giraffe hide (something like 2,4x2,4 meter which seems doable from what I could find regarding sizes of skins). I'm thinking it would be a pretty cool way to ise the skin, but, will it be to hard...

    Brown Bear Hunt In Romania

    Wow! So bear hunting is now open again in Romania? When did that happen? I hunted with Marius in 2022 and he is very prefessional and I give him my highest recommendations. I did see a few of the bear trophies he had and in comparison to the bears in Scandinavia, these are HUGE!

    416 Rigby - Basic Reloading Questions

    I assume you are based in the US, hence the availability of powder might differ from here in Scandinavia. I loaded up for my buffalo hunt in 2022 and I ended up using VV 160 for 400gr Swift A-frames and Norma MRP for barnes 400 gr banded solids. After a lot of bench shooting and many different...
