    Getting mixed answers on bringing ammo into South Africa

    You are entering a foreign country, don’t add any self inflicted issues that may cause you emotional trauma. Keep it simple, clean and to the book. I can tell you TSA has ammo rules, SA has ammo rules and if you have a layover in another country they have ammo rules and so does the airline...

    Chainsaws and those who use them

    I have a Tanaka for about 16 years and that saw is a beast and never fails me. Good cutting chain makes a good saw. Cutting wood can be therapeutic at times.

    PLAINS GAME CALIBER

    I like the Nosler Accubond 210 in a 300 mag load. My setup just seems a little more consistent with that combination. I like a little more weight for African game. Not a big difference under 300 yards. Most my African shots 75-200 yards.

    Purchases On AH References

    Bought a very nice over under from @CrippledEagle. Great communication and shotgun was as advertised. Seller was a big help with shipping and packaging. 2nd purchase from @CrippledEagle, great seller to deal with.

    Word of caution (first hand) about hunting Mexico now

    Yep, things have changed for the worse. Even this side of the border between Freer and Laredo with all the LEO activity, will make you pay attention to what is around you, and they are not looking for folks speeding. On the lease we all lock our trucks and don’t leave the keys in the ranch...

    Word of caution (first hand) about hunting Mexico now

    No no no to old Mexico. I know guys that hunt there still but I don’t want that risk.

    Accuracy expectations from a Ruger M77?

    My old 270 tang safety model, early 70s, is very picky on ammo type and if shot more than a handful of times without a total cooldown starts to wander quite a bit. If I had to build one up my personal choice is a Remington 700 donor action vs a Ruger to start.

    Bowhunting Africa from a Blind or tree stand, do it!

    I would not want to be exposed in a ladder or lock on type set up. The monkeys will pick you off and scream all the way home. Most NA animals don’t usually look up but not sure on plains game since there are more options for them to get eaten.

    South Texas Nilgai hunt

    Remington 700 Sendero, 300 RUM, 180 grain bonded bullet, about 175 yards off short sticks sitting, about 3’ in length. I like the short sticks in country where you can use them. Sit down, lock in that right elbow, makes a solid platform.

    South Texas Nilgai hunt

    I like my snake boots in that country where the grass is usually knee high. I had to dig into and old drive for this pic I use in my avatar from 2007 of the best Nilgai I have taken. They are fun to hunt on the King Ranch or the surrounding properties. The nilgai have migrated west of hwy 77...

    South Texas Nilgai hunt

    Shot them with 300 RUM and 375 HH both ended up down. The 375 did not exit, between hide thickness and heavy bone dense muscle. Vitals low and up front. I have always stalked in so there is a bit of time to set up the shot, not a fan of the vehicle type hunt. Hope the wind is up and walk...

    East Texas Mountain Lion

    Saw it online so must be true of another cat hit outside Uvalde in the last few days weighing in at 210. Those cats in the hill country area have a lot of easy food and can pack on some weight. Never seen one in person but have seen tracks between Freer and Laredo as well as tracks SW of...

    Do you use a 7mm STW in Africa?

    I have not but that is a great cartridge. I would not hesitate to take that for all the plains game animals. Bullet choice is a critical decision no ballistic tip bullets. Let that dog bark! :cool:

    Archery season has begun! 2024

    Couple extra bumps on the brows. Yes, lucky as they are just starting to rut and got him before he got all broken up. Those brows would be the first to go. I think he did jump the string a bit at 20 yards. I was thinking after the shot I hit the last few deer high, need to start shooting at...

    A beautiful snake

    Seen a few of those timber rattlers or cane break rattlers as they are known. Bad boys with nuro and hemo toxin. The ones I have come up on are not very aggressive but large snakes. Western diamondbacks down south Texas seem a lot more aggressive in my opinion. Fire is a good option for both...

    Hunted with Lalamanzi, Limpopo on the river. Abri the owner has some alfalfa fields those sneaky jokers like to frequent in the dark hours. The fields are fenced in an attempt to keep the animals out and from eating it down but the warthogs, bushbuck, steenbok still work under the edge. They...
