    Credit Cards

    I wire about half the cost then carry the rest. But I take my card just in case we run across an unplanned opportunity that needs to be taken. As mentioned, it depends heavily on the agreed amount of the safari to begin with

    Lets See Your Upland Shotguns

    Browning 16 gauge and a Franchi 20 gauge. I recently purchased a Franchi in 16 gauge and had a good day for ducks with it, but no pix of upland hunting just yet. My kids are mostly all hunting now, hence the need for another O/U in the safe and in the outdoors.

    Best All Around Caliber for Plains Game

    Obviously the answers depend on what part of the world you live in. -and none of us can pick just one gun! I’m a big fan of the .300 wm and 180 gr bullets although I have several favorites. Since many places are banning lead bullet use, I believe the ttsx and other mono’s will continue to...

    FOR SALE Remington 700 Stainless Synthetic 7mm-08! Rare find!

    Let’s just say for conversation sake that I want the rifle, base and rings and no use for the scope. (Even tho it is cool and possibly a Collectors piece)-Would you consider such an idea? What price would you be asking for just the rifle?

    Had a good buying experience with JohnD29. I had to have my wife handle the Venmo part and I was at work for a couple days. He was patient and didn’t call me a scammer or a thief or a murderer. Just patiently gave Me time to make arrangements. Job well done and a happy customer

    Does the price of ammo impact your choice of a rifle caliber

    Doesn’t influence what caliber I buy as much as how much/how often I go shooting. I do load my own which also influences these and other life altering decisions

    Gambels, Scaled quail, two kinds of doves and band tailed pigeons. Mearns quail are my favorite gamebird! Turkeys and grouse in the high mountains. You haven’t scratched the surface and trust me on this-Arizona is world class for all those species. Glad you found this site, a great place to...

    Crazy! Cow Elephant charge!

    Love that old lion with a permanent underbite snarl and what appears to be a tumor/scar tissue on his spine. Job well done. Impressive work on the elephants as well-not only the shooters but the camera man to be commended!

    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    A couple days of blizzards with wind and snow and today it is cold. The skiers are celebrating and we all needed the water. In like a lion-out like a lamb. . . Hope the hurricanes didn’t hurt any of you too terribly!

    Waterbuck - South Africa

    My most recent one-one of my favorite things to hunt. The east cape and game4africa have been good to me. We were hunting a bigger one that gave us the slip and I took this one instead-I like to pull the trigger! I was surprised how good waterbuck meat tasted

    How old to hunt Dangerous Game

    Part of this is when they can understand about taking a life and even more so when they take the life of an animal revered as dangerous. If they have the maturity and the skill level, then go for it. I would also let them earn the money to pay for such a feat or contribute in some way-you...

    What type of YouTube videos do you enjoy?

    Gear reviews tend to become advertisements for stuff I don’t need. There is one hunting show filmed entirely in Africa on tv I won’t watch simply because they spend ten minutes of every episode bragging up the guns they use. -sitting and talking for ten minutes about a gun I have no interest...

    $25,000 in Africa excluding, flights, tips, and trophy shipment what would you do?

    I would take my wife and do the Rovos Rail bird hunting tour. Still get to see the countryside, lots of shooting, cool new trophies and living in luxury. Simple pleasure done at a high level

    Ocellated Turkey Mount

    Hazel Creek is Cally Morris and has long been the GoTo for turkey taxidermy and freeze dried heads. But there are many outstanding turkey taxidermists around the country I’ve never been a big fan of the “singing” pose and if I ever get one, I would probably do a flying mount, but that’s just me
