As Jim ( jd338 ) has already stated the parameters have changed a bit since the thread was started and with these new parameters how big a coyote is, is irrelevant. I mentioned earlier that I had the opportunity of shooting over 100 coyotes because of where I lived most of my life. Even two or...

Charlie, I thought you were going to put him on ignore. You may have forgot to do so, but I think it would be better for your health to do just that. For the record I have shot well over 100 coyotes throughout my life time before we moved from El Paso to Alaska, but that does not make me...

Guy, if their new to your area this post will still not be very comforting I am afraid. We respect all wild life and are always respectful of what they "might" do, but we dont give much thought about being attacked by a wolf. Also do you have the DLP law in your state ? That law allows us to...

Brian, this was the decision we made as well, the 458 SOCOM works better for us. The only place we use it is when fishing and even then we sometimes prefer to take the 457 Wild West co-pilot, as it breaks down and rides in a case, plus Wild West makes their own 350 and 405 bullets for it ( it...

Rigbymauser Exactly! When I was planning our hunt it was one of the first things Aleena ask me. Do you want to hunt or just take pictures of dead animals with you in the picture. I found out through her how different hunting in each country can be, and in which manner you will hunt each...

We have 5 bee's but a slightly different line up than you have Fotis and we also will never own a 224 of the 240, 257, 300, 340, 460. we use the 257 and 340 by far the most. The 300 some, and the 240 very little with the 460 getting the least amount of attention, almost none and will probably...

Fotis after you choose the perfect 340 and add it to your collection, you will only have four to go in what order will you look for them 224, 300, 338-378, 375 I can see why the 224 is not on your radar, but the other three are good calibers, especially the 300 and 338-378 IF, I had them...

to have all the original nine or all of the Weatherby calibers ? Very nice 460.

Very nice wood Fotis. congratulations We have the 257, 300, 340 and 460 in the family arsenal and everybody in the family loves the 257 and 340. Those two get a lot of use in a family with six hunters. the 300 gets some use and the 460 is basically a conversation piece, but t does get shot...

A, when the hate mail arrives, ask them why they are upset, you are using old hand me down rifles lol

She is pulling our leg. Her favorite caliber is the 300 H & H and was just having a little fun with us. She was in NZ and I have no doubt she will go back in May and hunt them--with--her 300 H & H. Your 300 WM or WSM will be perfect. Have a great hunt

Dr. Mike Looking ahead at the possible hunt of these birds by my mother and daughter. The 120 gr in a 260 would certainly be enough gun. When my mother called she was told anything between a 204 and a 6.5 would be fine. We were thinking more of a combo gun since she would go in the summer...

Scotty, I also have not spoken with her, but my mother, who is an avid bird hunter, was so intrigued by her hunt that she has done some research on it. I guess you glass the tree tops as they set on the very top limbs and then ski up to within 200 yards or less if possible and shoot them out of...

The grizzlies here are beautiful, impressive and sometimes a competitor when they want to fish in the same area where were are fishing. We always carry the 45/70 with us when fishing, but have never had to use it. But it can be a little unnerving sometimes when they want you out of their...

If it is a sickness Dr Mike, my uncle also has it and he claims there is no known cure he has a 307, 356, 375, and 450 but he also has a few Winchester lever action in the models produced before the 94 He may be to sick to be saved lol Congrats to you on the purchase

I jumped on to send a pm to someone and saw this First---These rifles are built in Montana, which is probably one of the reasons aleena mentioned it, as David also live in Montana Second--If it is not your money being spent, why do you care. I am sick and tired of people kicking other people...

Interesting thread and new round from Nosler. I noticed in reading the replies that Rigbymauser and Africa huntress both referred to the 6.5 x 68. I think the round is still used in Europe and Africa quite a bit, but I have no knowledge of anyone using one here in the states. I also saw a...

members like George S has far more experience than I, as I have only traveled to Africa one time. But the one time we went ( my son and I ) we had a great time and only shot a handful of plains game each. We didnt lose or have any rifles arrive late. We didnt do any expensive mounts. We...

Cole, I agree. When I was working on my first trip to Africa, I zeroed in on a 375 H & H, which I bought and took with no regrets. However, if I lived there and hunted there often, I would probably have a 9.3 x 64 instead of the 375 and definitely a 9.3 x 62. Very popular calibers in Africa...
