    Ear Adhesive question

    Thanks for reply's guys. I have called McKenzie and Research and asked but they had no real answers other than buy the 2 quart kit as that's all they sell. No real help but I can understand they want to sell product, not give out any ideas to reduce sales. I have searched hrs on web and no place...

    Mounting Height?

    I say it depends on a few things, ceiling height does not look to matter as even 8 ft for your pose is actually high in my eyes. your preference, what you like, you will look at it most, "traffic" in room, are there taller people who may hit nose if to low, people who will "pet" touch it...

    Refining Bullet Selection for Croc Hunt

    No experience with either of your bullets in question. Do read both good and bad reports on both, the TSX is used lots, not sure how many used on crocs. Hit mine in neck with 260 gr accubond from a 375 H&H, his tail wagging allowed a behind the front leg follow up. I like the intact skull with...

    What do you do for a living?

    34 Yrs in Navy, as others drank dumb rum I looked for ways outside military to make money grow. Overall investments went well, retired at 52, now have cash flow and pensions. I never waste what funds that I attain. Buy a truck, built it as you want then keep it, repeat after 20 years. Decide...

    New Visa requirements for Namibia

    You can hunt grizz in BC? Our Democratic NDP closed it long ago due to "public opinion". Then the Provincial idiots voted them back in last year. What BS. MB

    New Visa requirements for Namibia

    Agree fully, as others state Canada gets a higher Visa in Zim, only because our Gov has decided that they are somehow bad, our enemy and deserve bad treatment. And Canada has some stupid gun rules against Zim. We have morons in charge. Sad days. MB

    New Visa requirements for Namibia

    Is the actual Visa cost $90 or the cost the travel agent charged to complete? I remember handing the nice uniformed gentleman the crispy $20 at Vic Falls airport for my "entrance Visa". He opened a drawer and scooped it in with the what looked like 100s of other $20's. Did get the stamp and...
