    Heart of an African Hunter

    Just finished this one-I confess it’s the only book I own by Peter Flack although I wish I could find and/or afford some of his others. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Good stories, well written and lots of great subject matter. One I wish had been a hundred pages longer!

    I got my copy several days ago, ordered directly from the authors website. Since I had holiday time off I have been able to read through over 100 of the total 170 pages. This is the type of book I wish every Ph/ heavily experienced Hunter could and would write! Filled with a world of...

    African Black Buck

    Saw these at scheels the other day. I suppose it is possible that this black buck came from Africa but more likely Texas, India, Pakistan, Argentina and a couple others, but Africa seems the least likely. Then I saw the duiker, which may have some dik dik in its lineage from a rambunctious...

    Mountain Lion kills man

    Not sure how to post the full story but easy to find with google. Some odd details but I suspect we don’t have the full story yet as it is still being investigated. My question is why shots were fired to scare The cat away from the body-instead of just killing the cat With those shots-...

    Her First Deer

    This is my second to oldest daughter. We have tried unsuccessfully to get her a deer for several years now. We have been thwarted by weather, other hunters and her very ambitious high school sports schedule-stupid soccer playoffs in October every year! Also her older sister shot a nice four...

    The leupold warranty

    I’ve posted about recent experiences with vortex and Swarovski. I’ll add a couple experiences I’ve had with leupold as well to keep the scales balanced. It is probably worth mentioning that I’ve used night force scopes and I still have a couple Zeiss scopes and have not yet had occasion to...

    The Swarovski warranty

    The ballistic turret on one of my Swarovski scopes lost the ability to screw on and off. It was apparent that a small piece of plastic had broken causing the issue.

    A hippopotamus gun

    Not exactly what you think- I’m not a military guy though I am surrounded by many who are-nor am I an artillery fancier. But I saw an episode on the history channel that was simply fascinating and deserves a brief spotlight-the cannone da 149/23 of creste Croce. Human sacrifice and the need...

    Cougar vs human encroachment

    I work in this town so the story is closer to home. BUT the story could read-Humans build houses on wildlife winter range so the animals must find food somewhere or be killed. Same story anywhere in the world-humans occupy more and more, remove resources and wildlife suffers. This young...
