Looking to add a Javelina to the wall. Any recommendations for a guide in Texas? I’m in DFW but will drive anywhere in the state. Don’t need a 5 star operation, just need javelinas. Thanks, Dale

I live in Fort Worth and need my 30-06 barrel threaded. Have read it can be tougher than a normal barrel and want it done right. Any recommendations? Thanks Dale

Have this Superlite in 30-06. Was supposed to be my “final gun” for deer and such but we all know that’s a fools errand. Picked up a Blaser so this has to go. -stainless 30-06 -threaded barrel -fluted bolt -limbsaver butt pad -DNZ scope mount -2.5-10x Nikon monarch 3 scope Truly is a great...

Have my 375 for sale. Bought from someone in Alaska who had painted the cross bolts and sling studs green to protect from rust… Stock shows use as a hunting rifle but nothing too bad and I think tells a story of its own. I have Talley QD mounts on it for 1” scope and had new butt pad put on and...

Looking to get my Duiker shoulder mounted/wall pedestal. Talked to Alpine taxidermy in Fort Worth who imported my heads for me and said $900 and about a year turn around. Any other recommendations in DFW or near by? No idea if $900 is fair or not so trying to get comparisons. Also, show me your...

Finally got my skulls from Africa. Was planning to screw picture hangers into the skulls and epoxying but after picking up my Kudu I started to question what works for deer may not work. This lead to looking at the simple skull hookers as I prefer the look of skull floating bare on wall so can’t...

hunted with Comre last April and Spitting Image finished their work this week. Got the Dims and was suprised was in 3 crates. First time I’ve hunted africa so maybe it’s normal? It’s now with the exporters. Any ballpark thoughts on cost I’ll be looking at? Sending info over to coppersmith...

Just picked up my CZ 375 from shop today. My first DG gun and want to make sure the scope it came with is good choice or what I should get instead. It’s a Vx1 2-7x 33mm. Leupold says ~4” eye relief. Not looking to buy high end glass as it won’t see much field time but needs to be able to make...

My search for my first dangerous game rifle has turned up no luck so far. Found one in DFW that turned out to be pushfeed and missed Actionbobs sale yesterday. Looking for a model 70 or a CZ in 375 H&H. Not looking for some super high end version. More looking for sub $1500 CRF rifle. Live in...

My first time ever going out west was on an antelope/mule deer hunt with a forum member I had never met prior to arriving in Wyoming. @jduckhunter (Jeff) had replied to a post I made about wanting to DIY antelope for my first time out west. About a year later and after Jeff walked me through the...

The wife and I (heavily influenced by me) have decided we want to hunt all 6 continents by end of 2026. Depending on environment she would be an observer but is happy to pull the trigger as well. We have hunted Africa, UK, and North America. My odd dream is to have large hogs from each continent...

I decided this year to go pretty heavy into archery after having a bow for last 10 years and only killing one deer and a couple pigs. Sooo, bought a Mathew’s, researched all the best arrows, heads, sights, etc. have a elk hunt coming up in September. I settled on Magnus stinger 2 blade heads. I...

We did our first safari in May. Talked to the PH a good amount about rifles. He recommended if I wanted a 375, prices keep rising so buy one soon… fast forward to today at local gun range and I hear a guy say it’s a 375h&h on wall. He walks away so I go look and it appears to be a mint model...

I'm long winded so I apologize in advance. In short, my wife (Marrah) and I hunted with Rich at Comre for our first time in SA. Highly recommend them. 5/11 we fly out of DFW on Turkish Airlines. This flight connects through Istanbul. 10 hour layover in Istanbul so we bought passes to the lounge...

My father is at a point in his life where he’s thinking of “the end”. He’s decided he wants to buy myself and my wife a set of matching lever actions we can hunt with. Wants to engrave them as well but I can handle that locally. the issue/question is, finding a new lever action in 308 or...

We first booked for may of 2020 and we all know how that went. 2021 replanned, had some family health issues. Tomorrow we fly out on Turkish at 8pm from DFW. Flight options were limited when we booked so long layover in Istanbul in both directions. End in East London and hunting with Comre...

Covid and changing jobs have moved our hunt 3 times. Finally ironed out for May 12 of this year. Had to book Turkish airlines out of DFW as the Delta flights appear to keep having less and less options. Have 9 hours in Istanbul in both directions then flying SAFAIR from Johan to East London...

Loaded question but here goes. Looking to upgrade abs get more serious with bow hunting next year. I’ve had a PSE stinger (lowest model they make) for last 5+ years. I’m ready to upgrade but not trying to spend $1500 on a bow. Looking to buy maybe a 2 year old bow for around $500 that will still...

Headed to MT end of week for a fishing trip then stopping up to Great Falls to visit an old friend. I want to buy him a 22 rifle as a gift as hes talked about getting one but with health issues/job issues hasnt been able to move it to the front of his financial priorities.

Well my group didnt draw for Wyoming antelope which rendered my birthday gift to my Nephew null and void. Hes a much bigger fisherman (15 yo) then hunter but would of been his first big game hunt. Plans change and now I am looking to take him to Montana end of August before he goes back to...

Want to pick up a fun 22 for target shooting and see what it evolves into... looking for a buckmark I think but see multiple different models. I want it to be red dot ready and would love a threaded barrel but not necessary. Anyone know what model I should be looking for? Or is there a better...

We are flying through Doha April 2nd. Have like 8 hours and looking at options for some horizontal sleep that isn’t at Hilton prices for a few hours. Saw that Doha has “sleep n fly” which was intriguing since don’t have to leave airport. Anyone ever used sleep n fly? Other option I may be...

I will be hunting Wyoming with my 14 year old nephew for antelope this year. It will be his first big game animal assuming we are successful. I am really wanting to double dip in western hunt this year. Wife really wants to visit our friends in Montana and try to get some Antelope hunting in...

Rebooked my flights from 2020. The wife and I are finally headed to South Africa April 1st out of DFW. Something we have been talking about and dreaming about for probably 5 years and after last year its been an even more painful wait. We are flying Qatar to Joburg then jumping to East London to...

Looking to use one of the “plastic” or artificial skulls to mount a mule deer that I skull capped from recent hunt. Mountain Mikes is one you see at all the stores but some online reading says to use a “good one”. Recommendations on other brands that make a mule deer skull for antler mount...

My first safari was supposed to start today with Comre Safaris. Hearing mixed details of when SA will open back up. Any one able to tell me for sure if they’re closed down till end of the year or are they just waiting for things to clear up? We talked about trying November but hate the...

Me and another member drew today and the fun begins. We missed the permit deadlines so only have access to general areas. This will be my 1 big hunt for this year with all this covid stuff. looking for any advice on places to scout on onx or tips or local knowledge. We plan to pack in and not...

Not looking to sell but would love to trade for a good scope for a mountain rifle. Looking at Leupold vx3i but open to any lighter scopes. less than a box through it, have stock grips, a “no drill” scope mount, and a regular scope mount that would require tapping. Arlington, TX

I’ll be going on first elk hunt this coming year. Should be doing a couple other hunts as well so figured good time to sort stuff out. Been hunting with my 30-06 since I started and even bought the wife the duplicate 700 to keep thing simple. I started off with rem corelokt and seemed to do the...

I’m headed to the dark continent for the first time in May. Trying to iron out flights with us having moved to Dallas. Looking to hunt May 4 -10. Best flight I can find is delta through Atlanta but gets us into Johannesburg at 5:45p and then I need to jump on a plane to East London. Best I can...

Looking to buy a fly friendly pistol case for my Ruger Blackhawk with 5.5'' barrel and a red dot site. Dont want a tank of a case so that it will fit inside my checked luggage but also dont want the baggage gorillas to break the scope. Thanks Dale

Short story: looking for recommendations for a “good” fresh water and a salt water set up. Longer story: I use to fly fish ALOT as child until was old enough to drive and priorities change. Did a lot of blue gill and bass fishing as well as some trout in creek fishing. Also was fortunate to...

ive been “planning” for couple years now our first trip to Africa for 2020. That’s my 30th birthday so seemed fitting. Wives 29th is also in February so 2 birds one stone. Thoughts were to go in April as flights are cheap and close enough to our birthday time frame. The concern now is that I’ve...

Still a ways out but trying to ballpark flight costs from east coast. Planning to hunt 2020 in spring time with Limcroma. Live in SC and closest large airport would be Atlanta but if cheaper options we are open to them. Whats everyones suggestions for airlines and airports? Thanks Dale

The wife and I started discussing bucket list trips. Obviously Africa in 2020 is a big one and then she wanted to go to Hawaii. It dosnt really call to me other then the fact I’ve seen video of the Axis there. Quick google and “hook you up” adventure is on front page and $1800 axis hunts. I see...

Try to be short and too the point... I’ve used Corelokt ammo for last 5 years and never had consistent results but things always died. This year was my wives first deer hunt and was a scary moment when there was no blood trail at 40 yd on 100lb doe. Same distance, no exit on a 120lb buck. Then...

Just got back from our "Honeymoon" trip to London and a 3 day stay in Norfolk for some deer stalking. Originally this trip began because I read a story on another forum that with the Brexit the cost to hunt in the UK is at a great point and there’s plenty of game to pursue. I asked on here for...

i am planning to go after antelope next year and going to bring my 30-06. I've been impatiently waiting for POTUS to move the hearing act along, and know just this week they've made strides, but I'm ready to just purchase one to begin the 12 month wait. Suggestions on specific models that won't...

I've been wanting to hunt antelope for a long time and with a lot of reading and videos as of late (prepping for Red Stag in 31 days) i have a real desire to do a DIY hunt. I know Antelope are relatively cheap hunts even guided but I've never had the chance to do a packout/camp hunt and sounds...
