Nice variety of game , and cartridges! Mouflon is also on my Bucket List. Will be going after the black and copper springbok next May in South Africa. At the moment, it looks like I'll be using the PH's LH Rem 700 in 308 Win for that hunt. My wife has the Black Hawaiian, Texas Dall and Corsican...

The way your 708 was performing on African antelope, I would think you would just keep hunting antelope with it, regardless of range! Confidence is High!

I was thinking about what has influenced me over the years when it comes to the rifles I own or like, and the various cartridges I also own or like. First, I think a major influence has been family. While my family hunted, on both sides of my family, mostly it was for sustenance, or for...

Continuing on this journey of reminiscence... Do you recall your firsts? Make and model of the first rifles you shot? Rimfire and centerfire? Make and model of the first shotgun you shot? Make and model of handguns you shot? Revolver and pistol? For me, they are as follows: Rifles: Rimfire: I...

Looking forward to hearing howthis performs. What is your expected velocity with the bullet you have chosen to try first?

My first mtn goat in '98 with the Rem 700 LSS in 7mm Rem Mag. 10 1/2" billy taken at 20 yards.

My wife has a calf sled that we also throw in the truck when we go hunting...actually works on the grass and short vegetation pretty well too, when/if needed. We can also put it in the back of the 4Runner with the back seats down, if needed to haul a deer or bear and won't get the back all bloody.

I have a come-along and 100' of cable in my Ram Box all the time, plus a couple of pull straps and clevises.

I have a 12’ inflatable boat just so I can pack a couple of people and a moose or elk if I need to! It’ll carry a 1800 lb payload.

For many years, I had a sheet of 3/4" plywood that was the length of my pickup box for leaning against the tailgate. If alone, I'd drag deer or bear up plywood and tie off, jump down, lift plywood and push it into box and close tailgate. If I had help, would have them grab and hold deer or bear...

Have to be honest...I thought about trailering my Kubota M7040 along on hunts. With its FWD and lots of ground clearance, and front end loader it would be handier than a SxS! When we used to hunt friend's large farm, their tractor and loader came in mighty handy on many an occasion! Mighty handy!

I like to think it was because we had to learn how to hunt and take care of ourselves in the woods. The art of hunting and woodsmanship is being slowly lost due to the use of newer technological gadgets that take learning, skills, and knowledge out of the mix to a certain extent. I won't say...

Squirrels were off limits on my grandparents farm as Grandma enjoyed watching them at feeder out of the kitchen and dining room windows. Didn't shoot one until I was an adult.

It's fun to learn what others have used and what they have hunted! And fun to recall those memories!

Axis deer and blackbuck are two of my Bucket List animals!

I'd trade another firearm for another animal in Africa! ;)

Depends on where you are... In our neck o' the woods, huckleberries are usually larger than the blueberries, and we have multiple species of each throughout BC and our corner of the province. We have a lowbush blueberry that grows on a short plant that barely gets over 4" tall. More work to...

Aren't we all! (grayer and heavier, that is)...and hopefully wiser! 🤔 I have had a lot of fun owning shooting, and hunting with my pre-81 BLR over the past 23 years! Its favourite load is 50.0 gr of W748 and a 220 gr Speer Hot Cor FP at 2209 fps. It will shoot 1" groups with this load. While...

I no longer have the Winchester Model 69A 22LR or Winchester Model 37A .410 my grandpa got us kids when we moved to the family farm in 1980 that was used for my first ruffed grouse and snowshoe hare. My first squirrel was with my first 10/22 that was traded off long ago. I forgot about my first...

After delving into what rifle I used to take the first animal of various species, it made me think of what animal was the first I took with various rifles I have owned or used over the years... For me, it is as follows: Marlin 336 in 30-30: whitetail doe Winchester Model 94 in 30-30...
