    Europe

    Hey guys, wanted to share with you what I shared with some young exchange students. Those in the colonies do not need to travel all the way to Africa for some excellent "change of pace" hunting. If one wants to hunt different species than they have done or do every year, try Europe. I...

    Shotguns for females

    We dont have many here who respond to shotgun threads and/or have females in their lives who use them--but--I just did a very "hands on" research of several For a Female o/u--Syren semi- auto Franchi Affinity ( only reason I like it better than a Syren-- Franchi is inertia) These would be...

    shotgun ( or two ) for granddaughter

    She likes to both waterfowl and upland hunt. To date she has hunted Geese, Ducks, Cranes, pheasant, quail, grouse, ptarmigan and chukar. She enjoyed hunting waterfowl but says her favorite is pheasant and ptarmigan ( she also said she will never hunt chukar again lol ) I am thinking either...

    Caesar Guerini and skeeters

    My granddaughter wanted to put skeeters in one of my shotguns and I am not a skeeter fan. They work "o.k." in a 12 to 20 and even 28, but not 410. Actually I am not a 410 fan either. Another problem with skeeter is digging out the shells or hulls. Then you have the weight of the shotgun...

    Cheetah

    Several have asked me about the Cheetah. I tried to get Jamila to respond as she is far more knowledgable than I, but I am afraid that is not going to happen. Namibia has the largest concentration of these cats in Africa and one can hunt them, but if your from the U.S., you can not bring the...

    open, fixed, variable or all three

    excluding the 22 and focusing on big game hunting, even dangerous game hunting (bear, elephant, hippo, buffalo, lion, leopard ), I argued/discussed all three in a recent round table. We have two young female hunters on this forum who use open and fixed depending on what they are hunting and...

    340 Weatherby

    The thread recently about the 35 Whelen, which also brought about conversation about the Newton, promoted this question, as I did not want to hijack that thread. I know that Fotis, Charles, John, Cheyenne's husband. my late husband and others love (d) the 340. It can push a 250 faster...

    year round hunting

    I am talking birds to bears and everything in-between and to be able--if time allows --to do so through out the year. I am assuming Dr Mike, Bear, Hodgeman, gbflyer, Gil and salmon chaser are able to so and possibly do. I know Cheyenne and Earle can and do. Maybe Guy ? Who else hunts year...

    Using a borrowed rifle

    I have found that I am in the minority on this topic. I have never had a problem with using someone else rifle or shotgun to hunt with. We would be in another country on business and someone would ask us if we wanted to go hunting and we always said yes, if time allowed us to do so. My first...

    Favorite calibers

    I was fortunate enough to be allowed to set in with a group of approx 25 hunters, all 60 and older and we were discussing our favorite calibers, and actions. It was kind of funny, because over the course of my lifetime I have had the opportunity to use a lot of different calibers and I was...

    Scotty and all other knowledgeable bullet fellows My son is running out of Bitterroot bullets and ask me, what I think compares. I am no where near as knowledgable as you fellows, but that in my humble opinion, Woodleigh and possibly Norma Oryx. ??????? Scotty, didn't Aleena or Jamila send...

    more hysteria and death threats to female hunter

    Lady from Texas successfully harvested a Giraffe in Africa and people have gone crazy against her. She made the mistake of posting her kill on the internet . Maybe Dr Mike or someone can find the story and post it up for all to read.
