Liberation Day! The freak out by many over tariffs by some will undoubtedly continue. This is Trump resetting the ‘stakes’ of a negotiation. Think about it, most negotiations start from the current agreement and he’s blowing them up. I wouldn’t want to negotiate against this guy because there...

DOGE, getting rid of lots of regulations, and appointing people to drastically reform some of the problem institutions all look like draining the swamp to me. I think like most things he’s done, Trump will surprise and be difficult to ‘lame duck’ too quickly.

He’s been a phenomenal politician, you must be to get anything done. That said, he’s unlike any politician we’ve seen before for sure and genuinely wants to drain the swamp. We’ll see how much he can do that, that’s a huge task beyond any human. Any progress there is appreciated! Then 8 more...

Love Gordy & Sons! Houston Bill found the Ruger RSM 375 H&H I bought there. And this thread just reminded me I missed their amazing Christmas sale ☹️

Beautiful, well done! I’ve got an Eland coming eventually that I’ve got to get up to a second story wall in our high ceiling family room. Do you think the hoist is the best way? Was also thinking about scaffolding. Do you get the animal in place with the hoist then do your work from a ladder?

I was looking for a pistol for my wife who'd mentioned she'd like one. I did some research and found an article that did a comparison of several and the Springfield Hellcat RDP ran away with it for a woman's carry. They like the compensator for reducing the snappiness a small 9 can have and the...

Wow, what a birthday! 50th animal, holy crap! You have a year on me old man. Happy Birthday and I'd say enjoy but that goes without saying, can't be a much better birthday than being there doing what you love!

I'm a big fan of Murray's stuff. I got a belt that I used for both my 7mm and 375 and it worked great, the quality is amazing. Then, I'd forgotten to get a sling for my 375 and called him the week before I was leaving and he looked and he had one ready to go. We're close enough I got it UPS is...

Been looking forward to this report Mark! Keep it coming...

I’m no expert but I’ll parrot some I’ve heard, that’s not happening for a long long time as it’s still the large majority currency invested and used. By FAR the best house in a shitty neighborhood. What’s kind of interesting is how fast the rise of digital / crypto money happens and becomes...

That’s hilarious! Ok, I’ll do my best to help The big question is, with DSC moving when will there be a next time? You have years to finish up the leftovers!

Well articulated article. I personally cannot relate to his dilemma, it’s the easiest decision of my life even tho Trump can be so maddening. The alternative has always been untenable to me and if this hasn’t sealed it for many of his ilk my incomprehension of this view is solidified like...

I’ll DM you so we can discuss details offline. I’d like to do a comparison myself. Because at a high level, shipping isn’t hugely different but it will be more with mounts. On the flip side, lower cost labor and the rand exchange rate make it seem likely the biggest ticket item - the taxidermy...

Great report, thanks for sharing! Always enjoy the reports, it seems more so now that I’ve finally been. It helps takes you back there in your mind. I decided to get my taxidermy done there as I believe it’s cheaper that way all in - per a friend who’d compared in the past - but I’m in Houston...

Dude, wow! I enjoyed meeting you at DSC and the AH events, I like the smile on your face and the gleam in your eye. Godspeed on your recovery. You’re in my prayers. You’ve got this!
