Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

As @WAB stated, Shootingtargets7.com is a great source of information and has some great deals on steel targets, rubber hangers, and stable stands. If you get on their email list they often run specials on targets. I have shot at hundreds of DG rounds at AR500 steel plates, and if you stick to...

I don't think my post had anything to do with "good" or "bad" elk? The point of my post was to say that without spending large sums of money to hunt elk every year, most will only get a couple chances in their lifetime to have a coveted elk tag with the potential to shot a trophy elk, and when...

I've shot both Burchell and Mountain Zebras, and my answer is I like all of them. Each hide is unique, and that's what makes them interesting. Looking through the herds to find the one you like best is the fun part of hunting zebras. In contrast to the original post, one of the darker zebras I...

While attending the Western Hunting Expo in Salt Lake City, I stopped by the Swift booth and spoke with their representative. He mentioned that once they returned to their shop, they planned to add about 100 boxes of 300-grain .375 A-Frame bullets to their website. He estimated they would be...

We saw all 5 in the same trip to Timbavati on the border with Kruger National Park. There happened to be a leopard in a tree outside of camp when we drove in the first day. That is the only leopard I have seen outside of hunting them. The other area we saw all 5 including a lot of black rhino...

With any luck you will be in the elk for a chance at a close shot, but a 300 WM with a 180 grain bullet will be plenty out past 500 yards. At 8-9 pounds loaded with a scope it will be a little jumpy so get used to it, shoot it, and be ready when the time comes. I have two rifles I use for most...

I was just passing on the link and information. $1,429 was MSRP, if you can find one, I am seeing closer to $1150 on the shelf. Looks like a fun little gun not just the standard everyday 22 Hornet bolt action rifle. I'm not ready to go out and search for one, but if I was at my local store and...

Funds sent for dies

I will take the dies and the crimp die. Pm sent

I agree with @Altitude sickness Altitude, there are so many variables when hunting elk. The biggest variables being location, time of year, and what your goal is for the hunt. To add to his thoughts. Elk hunting in Utah spans from mid-August through December, with minimal breaks between...

I will take the solids. PM sent

I've used suppressors on every plains game hunt I have participated in with calibers up to 375 H&H. The PH's all encouraged it and were certainly happy we had them along. On my dangerous game hunts the same PH's seemed to prefer no suppressors. Most of us used double rifles and it wasn't an...

GLWS. I have a few of these and they are great scopes for a deer or elk rifles where there is a potential for longer shots.

Only if you try to download to sub-sonic levels. :p
