    Has it ever happened to you..

    Had a leopard walk across a path in front of me 60 yards out wasn’t scary more surreal, it didn’t register in my head what was happening until my PH said how rare that is in the daylight

    Alpine boots for Chamois hunt

    La Sportiva and Crispi are good choices but with all stiffer hunting boots make sure to really use them before the hunt to make sure they fit you well

    I have come to the conclusion that "New Guys" are welcome, BUT......

    I’m a fairly new member and the wealth of knowledge I have acquired from the more experienced members has been priceless. My advice would be to pick a hunt date and start planning that’s half the fun, there will not be a question that can’t be answered here.

    Birds Mounted in Africa!?

    I had 3 waterfowl mounted in Africa, 3 of my worst mounts as far as beat up by the time they came to me but then again that’s a long way to ship without feathers getting ruffled, my red knobbed coot I couldn’t get exported so I had a decoy hand carved of it, I still would rather have my beat up...
