    Dinosaurs and sheep

    Just picked these up at the taxidermist shop. Very pleased with the work. They sit on a polished pinion stump on a 1” dowel so you can spin them to different angles if desired

    My daughter shoots the 120 ttsx from her 7mm-08 loaded over bl-c2. It is an excellent deer load. I think you will be very pleased

    2027 Hunt

    Older anyway. Good luck Vince. I’m looking at a plains game hunt but I really need to keep the money close to my home and family for awhile. I’ll have to live vicariously through you

    Idaho drawing

    Ironically I have hunted a cow elk in the town of May, Idaho. Lots of elk, loaded her right into the truck. Stomach full of alfalfa but I shot her in some ugly brush where they were hiding out. Hope yours is a good hunt, I really enjoy elk meat-

    Nyala done right!

    I shot a cull impala and a “management” warthog as well. Both with the 7mm-08 and both fun/good experiences. Warthogs I’m a bit different in because I wouldn’t shoot one unless it was for meat or a really good trophy. European hunters are warthog fanatics and I can see why Americans love them...

    Nyala done right!

    Impala are easily one of the “greats”. Very common but alert and wary, very athletic. Absolutely beautiful and delicious! It’s one of the animals that should be hunted every time you can get “over there.”

    Federal’s Plus Peak 6.5 Creedmoor

    It sounded like you had to buy special reloading dies to be able to re load them. I feel like this is a ploy to keep the 6.5 creed relevant with all the 6.5 prc and similar options available. Speed doesn’t always equate to accuracy, I guess time will tell

    Oversized Bullets

    Have used Redding does for years and really love them. Have never had the problem you did and glad you caught it when you did!

    Super Bowl Stats

    Well the nfl is a business and businesses have to make money. . . My wife and I have been flying out of our small local airport to other nearby areas it serves. We have been to Denver, Dallas and phoenix watching baseball games. It is inexpensive during the week and the atmosphere is fun. We...

    Use Enough Gun

    I’ve taken a .30-06, .300 wm, 7mm-08 and a .375 wby to Africa in three trips. I killed the most game with the 7 mm-08 and 150 gr ablr which is not considered a “premium” bullet. I’ve never lost an animal but I did miss 2 or three. And recall please that many of these were taken on video and...

    Africa 2026

    That is one of the craziest things I’ve heard of happening. Hope they will recover well and make it home soon.

    Africa 2026

    the safari culture really caters to hunters AND their spouses. Most places offer side trips or activities for the visiting non hunter. My wife doesn’t hunt but enjoyed the pool and touring nearby towns and especially game parks with lions and elephants etc The park we visited even had a spa...

    Second choice is the 300gr tsx . . . Your mtn reedbuck is a heavy old ram, I’ve not shot one yet and he made me drool!

    Why horizontal stringing? 30-06 with high BC bullets

    I’m going to disagree. 212 gr eld x should not shift in 5mph wind at only 100 yards. The biggest flag I see is that you are using new brass rather than once fired. I do prefer a solid rest and never use a bipod for load work up-

    Interesting that her horns are so smooth, rather than the more common ridges. Nice and long, congrats on a fun trophy
