Yes I do plan on returning for a few more of the dangerous game & plains game. I have the cape buffalo and leopard and would still like to get a lion, bull elephant and nile crocodile. The rhino and hippo are not high on my list at the moment but you never know. I would also like to hunt another...
They are still being tanned in Zimbabwe at the moment, they should be shipped to the USA sometime in March this year. Of the 4 zebra two will be shoulder mounts and the other two will be rugs. The giraffe will be a shoulder mount, hyena will be a full body mount. The kudu, eland, cape buffalo...
I usually go back to Missouri each year for whitetail season. Typically I go back for 10-14 days and catch part of the bow and rifle season and sometimes i'll go back for muzzleloader season if I still have a buck tag. We being myself and 3 other friends lease land each year usually up near the...
This was my second time hunting unit 15 in New Mexico, the first time was in Nov 2007 with a muzzleloader. I've used Eric Kern outfitters each time to help in drawing a tag and as a guide for the hunt. If anyone is interested in using a guide I would definitely recommend him and any of his...
I drew a unit 15 tag this year which is a bull elk tag with a muzzleloader. I just got back to San Diego Thursday the 20th and wanted to post these pictures, enjoy!
To be honest none of the animals really required a solid. The 300 grain Swift A-Frames really did the job on everything I ended up shooting. The cape buffalo dropped after running about 50 yds from being shot straight on in the chest. I used a solid to finish him off once he was down. The eland...
The outfitter our group used (3 of us total) was John Sharp Safari's. Here is a link to his site:

Yes I would recommend him and anyone he associates with to go on a safari. He is very polite, professional and maticulous in everything he does. My...
I used Federal Premium 300 grain Swift A-Frames for soft and
Winchester Supreme Safari 300 grain Nosler Solids.
All of the animals dropped on the spot with one shot with the exception of 2 zebra, wildebeast, eland & cape buffalo. Of those none of them went more than 50 yds except the wildebeast...
My first trip to Africa, Enjoy!
You maybe asking why so many zebra? we were using the zebra for leopard bait and we didn't have any male leopards come in and hit the baits until the last 3 days or so of a 14 day hunt. The giraffe was used for lion bait but...
Does anyone have experience with these binoculars and if so are they worth the price? (Approx $2999) I really like the thought of the all in one piece of glass for hunting and prefer the Zeiss over the Leicas. Just wish Swarovski & Leupold offered something similiar. I know about the Bushnell's...

Wasn't sure which category to put this under but thought the million fps video was pretty interesting.
I've got 7 more weeks to go before leaving San Diego for a muzzleloader hunt in New Mexico for Bull Elk in area 15. This will be my first hunt with a ML so I'm really looking forward to it especially after my plans to go to Idaho fell through this year.
Same as my NCR, 300wsm. I really like this caliber and wanted to get it in an extreme conditions weather platform.
Why do you ask?
I'm also considering the VX-7 3.5-14X50 LR, but man those are expensive and I'm not to sure about size and the 50mm objective. Wish they had this same scope in a...
Thanks for the input guys. I really like my Leupolds but have wanted to try the new Bushnell. I've heard that Bushnell wasn't so great in the past when it came to rifle scopes but that things have changed and that they are putting out a great product now.
I'm sure I can find it cheaper, those...
