    4th of July Hogs.....With Night Vision and FLIR!!

    After we gathered up all the hogs we piled back into the Ranger and headed back up to the levee. All of a sudden Clark told Jed to hold up. He had picked up a single roaming boar with the FLIR. He was moving along quartering toward the levee in front of us. We drove the Ranger up to the point he...

    4th of July Hogs.....With Night Vision and FLIR!!

    We headed out to the first ranch we were going to hunt. Once we got on the sendero, we pulled our night vision goggles down and Clark started scanning for heat signatures with the hand-held FLIR. Now I had played with some Gen I & II goggles before, but I was not prepared for how far advanced...

    4th of July Hogs.....With Night Vision and FLIR!!

    Here are a couple of shots of the equipment we used. Jed and Clark have the vehicles to go with the rifles, helmets, and hand-held FLIR too!! They have tricked out a four-seater Polaris Ranger and have a Land Rover RSOV (Ranger Special Operations Vehicle). If you look close, the RSOV is...

    4th of July Hogs.....With Night Vision and FLIR!!

    My hunting partner, SHOOTER, headed to the lake with his family to try and blind folks with his white legs for the 4th weekend. I decided to head up to Bedias (that's "bee-dice" for all you non-Texan'sl) and hunt hogs with Jed, aka redlegg, and his partner Clark at Tacitical Hog Control. They...

    mailorder primers

    I think that is much better than the idiocy going on at Gun Broker when you factor in the HazMat and shipping charges. You are going to get hosed when buying primers and powder online usless you order enough to diffuse the HazMat fee regardless of where you order them. The base prices folks are...

    Yep, I mounted them. The zebra became a rug. I didn't get to taste the zebra because I took him last. It was the hardest of all six to hunt. One of my pards up in Oklahoma said zebra was one of his favorite meats that he ate on his safari though. Bob

    Namibia-2005

    I ended up with six animals. A greater kudu, gemsbok (oryx), impala, springbok, zebra, and a blesbok. I took the kudu, gemsbok, and zebra with my 375 H&H. I took the impala, springbok, and blesbok with my 7mm-08. My first safari to Africa far exceeded all of my expectations. Namibia is a great...

    I knew I was not in south Texas anymore when I looked up on our first stalk and saw one of these guys.

    Namibia-2005

    We nicknamed these little darlings "cat claw thorns" because they are shaped that way and when they grab you they don't let go. Our arms and legs were in various stages of bleeding and healing throughout the week. The vehicle I stalked from most was the Range Rover. Shades of Hatari!!

    Namibia-2005

    My tracker was a bushman named Fritz. It is truly remarkable to see bushmen at work tracking. This is me in front of the lapa with a bushmen bow. They are small, but the bushmen use poisoned arrows. They have to be good trackers to get close enough to shoot these. Getting to hunt with and watch...

    Namibia-2005

    We flew into Windhoek via Joberg. From there we drove to our base camp near Grootfontein. We were 100 miles from the nearest "city". There was not electricity in camp except for a generator which ran the refrigerators. Each cabin did have a battery to opertate two light bulbs inside. The cabins...

    Namibia-2005

    OK, I guess I will re-post mine as well. I hunted plains game in Namibia in September of 2005. It was a great 13 day trip. We had 8 days of actual hunting with Antonie Louw of Makalaan Safari's. The area we hunted was about 6 hours north of Windhoek, the capital. Tony has access to over 200,000...
