If having ammo for the best .30 caliber cartridge ever devised is a problem, just send it my way! The original Weatherby boxes were very cool. I would love to get all of the animals. Fox - .224, .240 Whitetail Deer - .240, .257 Tiger - .257, .270, 7mm, .300, .375 Grizzly Bear - .257, .270...

It's probably been posted at least 100 times, but I think this may have been the funniest cartoon I ever saw published in a paper...

If there is a "high-end" local gun shop nearby, you might want to use them to do a consignment. I'm in Georgia. There would be 2 gun stores in the entire state that I would consider... 1. Chuck's Firearms in Atlanta 2. Kevin's Sporting Goods in Thomasville I can't think of any others in this...

Apple Airtags can be your best friend on international flights if you use an iPhone. If something didn't make your flight, you will know it and be able to notify your safari company ASAP when you land. Factory ammo in many different cartridges are available in South Africa. If your final...

I am a Weatherby fanboy! I think Roy was very ahead of his time on cartridge development, and even, to this day, his grandson, Adam is still innovating. Probably a good move in relocating from Californication to Wyoming. In almost every caliber, Weatherby makes the most powerful cartridge...

I, once, got to see both lying side by side when fishing in the Everglades. I took a picture, but can't find it to save my life. Sometime things range much farther north than they are "supposed" to live. A bonefish has been caught in New Brunswick, Canada!

I use my RCBS Rock Chucker. No problem.

.470 NE, if I can get close enough. .416 Rigby, if I need to use a scope.

When I was considering taking a croc in Mozambique a few years ago, I had practiced putting a .416 Hornady DGX in the brainstem. I would do whatever your PH recommends. With crocs on land, you want to make a precise shot with well constructed expanding bullet, just to make sure that it...

Alligators and crocodiles can't interbreed. Even though they look very similar, they are not as closely related as most people would think. They will fight each other, however...

Anyone see Kevin Costner's speech at the Park Cities Quail Coalition Dinner in Dallas two year's ago?

I was looking at Barne's website... My PH really liked Hornady DG ammo.

I called an 11 year old boy with long blonde hair and dressed in a unisex jumpsuit, "mame" last Friday. I took a few seconds of hell from "his" classmates, because of it. Hell, if you want to look like a girl, but don't be want to called a girl, then don't try to look like a girl. Sorry for...

A 5-Stand range is great practice for real hunting situations, as is a "Sporting Clays" course. (until you learn the course "too" well) A long time ago, Trap and Skeet was, but they have largely just become just a "game" unto themselves (Trap, less so than skeet, for actual hunting...

I like to put them about 12" above eye-level or higher. If it has to be lower, no big deal, as far as I'm concerned.
