Taylor Sheridan made a fortune by writing this series.....and while it is entertaining to watch, a little veracity would be welcome. A 416 Rigby would do fine in a double (even though most doubles were rimmed cartridges). Every person met was an evil SH, (makes for fun vid)........but how do you...

Most of the cartridges list above have a near duplicate available now. 12 bore SSG and LG over the counter here, 350 Rigby Mag and 35 Whelen ballistic duplicates. Etc, etc.............375 Win died too early though.............FWB

I have seen the 22-250 used on pronghorn antelope with good success...mostly. There are a lot of 22's out there better than the 22-250 simply because most of those still running around have 1;14 twists and will only stabilize bullets of marginal size. I used the old 63 grain Sierra semi-spitzer...

Here's a fun one, and a little change of topic. The New York Times, Mar 16, 2025 "We were badly misled about the event that changed our lives". In the article, the NYT admits that Covid came from the Wuhan Lab (duh) but alleges that they were misled... victims of misinformation. Wrong. They were...

Very nice offer with a nice video. A lot of waterbuck in the vid...........assume that eland is a Livingstone? (but I saw no stripes) Good opportunities for an eland as well? Thanks for the offer.................FWB

If your cartridges are lost in transit, you can always run down to Maputo or polokowane and pick up a couple of boxes of 28 Noslers.........NOT. But they did have 06, 308 and even 375 in stock. Good hunting............fwb

As sportsmen's shows become more greedy and require ALL exhibitors to make a donation we see this pretty frequently. Operators have become very clever at donating......nothing. This hunt requires you to recruit the other 7 hunters......that helps them a bunch, then they charge too much for...

Are you after the Bavarian Rifle or Carbine? I have been looking for a carbine for several years without success. I did sporterize a Swede and it turned out ok.....the trigger being the main problem.....if I find a rifle I will send you a PM..............FWB

Hiding behind the veil of anonymity on electronic media allows these SH's to be very brave. When someone confronts me in person........well, I am waaaay past the "educate them" phase. I say 3 things in this order 1. Oh, you are a vegan.......sorry to offend when they reply, NO , I'm not a vegan...

That's quite a nice Hartebeeste in addition to being shaped a bit odd. Love these trophies with some character.............'grats...........FWB

The quality of a Jonsered...the fit and finish, second to none. Own one. But I will never own another gas chainsaw.....my electrics always start, don't smell, are quiet, and are all I need at this age. Currently own 6 Husky's that are going on the block............FWB

Congrats on the Quigley..........hope you get to ring some steel with it, but they also make a pretty fine hunting rifle if you don't have to carry it too far. I have sold two Shiloh '74's on this site, have only one left.......a 40-65 in the light weight Jaeger model. A Ruger No. 1 in 45-70...

I bought a full frame Nikon last year. If any of you hold a PhD in electro-physics and would just come by and teach me how to use it, I will take it to Africa this year. Otherwise, I'll leave it home, and still be using the iPhone.....FWB

My little rural bank tells me they have NEVER sent a wire transfer to Africa. Not reassuring. And $10K in cash, the accepted limit, used to pay for a hunt........probably not anymore. Also, many operators don't take credit cards...and most don't have a US bank you can prepay at. Best of luck...

@BlueFlyer and @GuttormG I'm with you fellas........I think there is something else....a lotta change for 0.3 grains. I have a lot of experience with this cartridge in a Steyr Mann. I usually load 140 grainers to get up a little speed outta the stubby bbl (40 grains 4350 driving it) but would...

@BryceM Labor IS cheap. But corruption is expensive in Africa.............FWB

Try Washington DC maybe..............FWB

The bureaucracy necessary to implement this will more than eat up all profits in ANY African nation. And it certainly won't increase the number of tourists. .......FWB

Heckuva ram for Idaho..............'grats. ........FWB

Sorry to hear that the Woke govt in the UK has declared farmers to be an enemy. I hope that there is a return to more traditional values, but it won't happen soon.....if at all. I think your plan to leave is a good one..........go while you're young enough for a restart..................good...

@Joshlee0518 Do you plan to camp at your truck, or back pack in? Are you physically able to hike hard and far? Consider hunting Idaho units with timbered stringers and open hillsides, lots of areas to glass. Have a shovel, High Lift and tire chains. If you PM me, I will tell you where I would...

This was a fab offer, but the fuse was shorter than on a handgrenade.......did you find a hunter? I appreciate these short notice hunts, and one of these days, I will go.............thanks for posting........FWB

Imagine South Africa calling another person or Country "racist".....nearly laughable. President Trump has many times said all people should be judged on merit and not on skin color. That is certainly NOT the case in RSA over the last few years. Insulting any Country's president can get you...

This is a heckuva fine offer that almost flew under my radar. No size limit, fishing, free observer......and a basically free Nyala. And they must be pretty darn good Nyala to be looking for a 27" plus animal. I enjoyed the video...the hunt was a well conducted..........thanks for the...

@JINKLE Thank you for the report. Every bird hunter should have at least one trip to a place where they can shoot 87 boxes of shells. It makes up for a lot of days in the goose pit or the duck blind where nary a shot is heard. I have been to Bolivia many times, and hunted with Bolivian...

@Green Chile Great report, Bryan, thanks for taking the time and effort to share such a great adventure. Saw the buff pics before I found the report, and I must say: wow. I have hunted South America more than 20 times, and I have seen a lot of buffalo.....but never one like THAT. I am in the...

Hey.........just saw your report..............very nice. I have hunted near Santa Rosa, and plan to do it again soon. So a very interesting and meaningful post for me. What a fantastic area...........Bill

That is an awesome foto................Santa Rosa area?........some toads there...........FWB

To my friends in Romania: Sorry to see that riots have started. Expected, I guess. Your election was overturned after Calin Georgescu won... because of " Russian Collusion" and "He's a Fascist".....sound familiar? Even Elena Lasconi, who was a defeated candidate says "where's the proof?". When...

I think North American trophies may sell higher......maybe top end elk or deer for a lodge, meeting room or an elite cabin. What do you think? I have a couple of 400 inch elk that I'm thinking of selling. It will probably do better that the African stuff around here......Rocky Mtn...

Here's a fun fact from Meta ai....."yes, Canada imposes tariffs on US products......dairy products are one example. Tariffs range from 201.5% to 313.5%. These tariffs are part of Canada's supply-management system"........bet you didn't hear that in the main stream propaganda effluvia........FWB

@cwpayton Thank you for posting that. The number of killings is unknown, but some estimates are as high as 7000 in the last few weeks. Children dragged out of houses in the daytime, raped, tortured and then shot.....many with M16's. You can see some of the films on SyrianaAnalysis, but I would...

Disappointed to see that Ukrainian journalist Vadym Karpiak called for the assassination of Pres Trump last Friday. A USAID funded and State operated media employee at that. Cover photo shows him shaking hands and receiving an award from Zelenskyy (although the post was on FB personal page)...

Climate change IS a complex issue. Now that free speech is returning to the World, we may be able to discuss this in scientific round tables. Professors were silenced during the lib years unless they parroted the current Green dogma. Looking carefully at the up and down stream effects of various...

@Red Leg Oh no! "...a standing ovation in Moscow and Beijing...."...how would we ever recover? Our pride could get hurt. But have cheer, we could always go and kill them afterward, and that would set it right. Right? Those of you that know nearly nothing about macro-economics apparently feel...

My opinion is different. The biggest threat to the USA and to Europe, is the CIA, USAID and the NATO war machine. They carry out actions based upon RDS......Russia Derangement Syndrome. As we fund atheist hate groups and Muslim terrorists within their borders, Fire missiles into their Country...

Risking his career, certainly his freedom, and even his life....from the Deep State.......only Tucker Carlson had the courage to go to Russia. Your first entry is wrong @Red Leg , your second not applicable. I salute Tucker, and also praise his stand on White Farmers in RSA, gun ownership...

Of the handful of men that I hunt with, two are lifelong democrats and paradoxically and foolishly (IMO) libs. They believe everything that ABC tells them. Tonight, they both admitted that their party had no answers.... and that hatred for Pres Trump, at least during the speech, came across as...

FWIW....and that is a lot..............President Trump, Elon and Tucker have all worked hard toward saving the White farmer in South Africa. Of the 60 million people there, about 5 million are White. Not all farmers of course. But this small minority has been repeatedly targeted by the Govt in...

As a non smoker I can easily and immediately tell if someone on a hunt is a smoker. It doesn't really bother me. But to hunt around a "tobacco chewer"....now that is different. As they spit into a cup, drool into their beard, or paint your boots and pants with effluvia, they remain smiling and...

I have hunted wild leopard 3 times without success. I am with @rookhawk on this one. Failure IS an option. It can run into money. In retro, I shouldda used dogs...................FWB

@dchum and @CamoManJ Those sound awesome. Any ideas on a good time of the year for Reds? Thanks much............FWB

I still haven't pulled the trigger on a nilgai hunt. Even though I originally posted this thread, and thought I'd have been on my way long before this, it hasn't happened. Yet. A couple of life things got in the way, but there are others things too. I have had a tough time getting an operator...

$9 trillion dollars spent on foreign wars since 2000. Parallels to WW2 are probably meaningless. Time to move forward. Listening to those with a market portfolio made up of weapons stocks has gotten us to this place. The "Knowledgeable experts" opinions are apparently worthless. No, Russia is...

Made for a good watch. Vice Pres Vance opened a can of "Rid-a-Runt" on the little comic..........FWB

China's MEE...........the Ministry of Ecology and Environment takes care of this.............you can expect to hear from them....................about never. So sorry, Spike..............FWB

Looking at the total price may be misleading. A two day hunt is fine....if killing something is your main goal. Those who like to actually HUNT often have better uses for $2 grand a day.......These short duration hunts (and they may be done with you after day ONE if you make your kill) don't...

@Ruraldoc your 9.3x62 load is a screamer. I could not get 2700fps with mine and the 250 grainers....especially the mono's. If you don't mind sayin, what powder were you using? I'm getting 2740 on my 270 grainers for the 375, so you're right up there.................FWB

If you used a traditional rifle, I would recommend a Williams 57 (suffix varies). After an absence of some years, they are once again available. These put the peep fairly close to the eye.....Old people often use the 0.25" aperture, and young bucks go with smaller. Although I have tried many a...

Just watched a YT 30 min on new pickup trucks. Said the average new cost was $64,000 but that prices are falling as average time on the lot is approaching 400 days. ......JFWIW...............and hope the M&G goes well this eve Henry......................FW Bill
