gentlemen. thank you Tom, you definitely have one daughter that loves to hunt. Dan, I will get to spend time with her and my daughter which is an additional plus for me. Once I finish selling everything here, I will head back home, especially now that I am no longer able to sail----or hunt...

congratulations to you both. long shots but you were up to the task, well done. Hodgeman, again --congrats and thanks for the story and follow up info

thank you gentlemen, She emailed me and ask me to thank all of you after she read this thread. Thank you Gil--Beceite She didn't necessarily choose this one, but it was chosen because of a contact I had with the guide/lodge and was able to somewhat make this hunt a little more of a...

Exactly!!! Don, you dah man!

David, Duane, Bear, thank you Duane, maybe lol Bear, depends on the country , but Spain is not to bad, but yes a lot of paperwork for sure. The hunting lodge also helps with the paperwork. She could rent a rifle, but part of her plan is to accomplish all these hunts with the rifle her...

Thank you David, Dr Mike, Allen, Don Dr Mike--sort of-- lol -- We will fly in and meet in Madrid. Take a town car ( probably four hours ) to the hunting lodge, which is where we will stay. I will stay at the lodge and she will go out each day and come back each night--unless they decide to...

Very nicely done Don, Have a safe trip home

Good for you Gil. Looking forward to your 348/swift report and which animal you first take with that combo--best of luck. Also Gil, I think Dr Mike said it was hard to get North Fork bullets, You have to wait on the Swifts and I know Cheyenne said Woodleighs are not always available. What...

John and Guy I am not as knowledgeable of Scotty, Fotis, Gil and others about this. But I do know that the Woodleigh bullet that is made for the 348 hits like a sledge hammer. They expand well and penetrate deep. I can not image the Swift and Northfork not doing the same thing, but I have...

Thank you Gil

At Cheyennes request I deleted my original post to Gil on where to get 348 bullets, although she did not say who, it was suggested to her that Gil has far more knowledge than her and she concurs. Secondly, you are also correct several U.S. companies make the 348 bullet ( Barnes, Hornady, Hawk...

.I hope you scratch that itch soon, as they are a magnificent animal to hunt and eat.

excellent Caribou, congratulations Gil

Thank you Bear for taking the time to share this with us. I hear you about the cost of shooting a rimfire vs a centerfire, plus no recoil, hot barrels, noise, etc. 22.s are a ton of fun to play with and that video I saw of your rifle was very very cool. The stock adjusts so your daughter...

o.k. I'll bite lol I thought you had sun right now although you soon would start losing it, maybe all of it, if your as far north as Mike and cheyenne ??? Two. I am assuming your freezer is full or you would be practicing on an animal not steel otherwise, it was a fun day and good practice...

This is so very sad. My prayers and sympathy go our to the guides family--very tragic As far as the what we know from the articles, I agree with Dr Mike and others that something seems "off" about this incident, at least in my mind. I can not imagine not being armed or not shooting the bear...

Guy, congratulations on your WY hunt, very well done I love bird hunting, possibly even more than big game hunting, so I envy you and clark still being young enough and healthy enough to do so--have fun. When I was young and healthy and we had "filled the freezer" we would also enjoy bird...

wisconsin teacher---good luck and enjoy your hunt Don, best of luck to you as well in Colorado. Your niece just knocked down a blackmail in Oregon, you just got back from a summer of fishing in Alaska and your headed to Colorado for an Elk Hunt. Do you need or want a cook and bottle washer...
