-8 here and still waiting for Spring…

Peavey in Central and Western Canada too.

Models built specifically for women are usually required for good fit. Women have longer necks and narrower shoulders than men, and the stock needs not only less length but more drop at heel and a higher comb. Smaller radius grip, and narrower grip helps too. And lighter barrels. It all adds up.

I use four different Stihl saws and they have served me well. Two industrial models at our British Columbia bush camp, a little electric one at home, and a light / cheap trail saw at our Saskatchewan hunting camp. Settled on Stihl because that's the brand local dealers stock and service. And...

Here you are!

Moody, you have received lots of good advice already. My personal favourite that has served me well on my last three safaris is the Swarovski CL companion 8x30. Easy to use one handed, clear image and not too powerful. Good value for the money. I changed out the carry strap for a longer one that...

I hunted buffalo in the Hammond concession with Mokore & Dalton McClintock three years ago. Everything was first rate, lots of game, and excellent hunting. Toured Mokore's home concession too at the end of the successful hunt. I'd go back for sure!

When I hunted elephant in that area with CMS two years ago, the elephant hunt was all done the first day. So after that I was hunting impala and wildebeest with a .416. It worked OK, but if a 9.3 was available instead, it would have been nicer to carry and nicer to shoot. I greatly prefer...

I don't hate any of them, but choose not to use any cartridge with a belt - except of course the .375 H&H. That one gets a full endorsement. I suppose the .416 Remington is OK too, I never owned one, but I would prefer the Rigby.

I sold all my Rugers so now I'm down to only one, a Kreighoff Hubertus in .30R Blaser. It's a keeper! During its first season at home I took a couple of young of young animals with it. This year I used it to take a young mule deer. Wonderful rifle, accurate, well balanced, elegant.

I also had a very good management / free range buffalo hunt experience with Mokore, in the Savé of Zimbabwe and another hunt in Mozambique Coutada 9. Both areas highly recommended! I also suggest getting some experience with buffalo before hunting elephant. That worked best for me anyway...

Welcome to the best internet forum for African Hunting! A great place to learn and share! and yes, lots of Dangerous Game and Double Rifle discussions, you'll fit right in

My good buddy Vance is one who comes to mind. He is a skillful and accomplished student of the outdoors. He developed his shooting skills as an archer, and became a very successful one. He shot competitively on the Canadian National team as a youngster, and represented Canada internationally...

Can anyone of the MAGA crowd explain to me how international treaties and deals currently work? I was under the obviously mistaken and erroneous assumption that international treaties with another nation were honourable and binding contracts negotiated in good faith and agreed to by both...

A lot of Americans I know don't actually know what's going on between the US and Canada right now, and just how seriously Canadians are taking this. So, against my better judgement, here's a timeline to explain why we're here, and why we're angry. Nov 30th, 2018 - The United States, Canada and...
