    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Home for just over a week, got a call from my PH, opening for Cape Buffalo end of May next year. I said yes. Will be hunting them in this area we saw the giraffe.

    Africa 2026

    I don’t like getting beat up either. My PH said the 275 Rigby AKA 7x57 pretty damn close to a 708 is perfect in good hands up to Kudu, compared it to hunting elk with a 708. Do it right it will work. Wouldn’t be his first choice with Eland. My 375 is accurate and I don’t have a problem shooting...

    Africa 2026

    I’m going back, late May 27 focus on Cape buffalo with a good chance at a southern greater Kudu. As Big Fin has stated “you’ll run out of health before you run out of money”. I’ll be 71 in elk camp this year. I stay in pretty good shape to keep hunting elk and to walk through Africa. Some day...

    oregons new eastern oregon unit change for 2026

    Im picking on odfw a little, they didn’t outlaw hound hunting, folks in the willamette valley, Portland down to Eugene did). There is substantial science that there are other mitigating factors as well. Cougars are simply a part of the problem.

    LED light strings.

    We’ve added them run them from the 20x14 all the way through the 12x16, works very well.

    Your unit used to have some tremendous deer herds 70 to 80% decline since they outlawed hunting cougars with hounds in that area.

    I drew Catherine Creek elk. No joy on mule deer. Also have an Idaho elk tag. No joy in Montana.

    Future hunting trips

    Well I’ve been blessed. I’ve hunted from Pt. Barrow Alaska to Northern Mexico, the Big Island of Hawaii and east into the Dakotas. At 70 I’m glad I wake up every day. Recently received the two greatest compliments of my hunting career. “Jesus you’re in good shape.” Followed a couple days later...

    Trip wires for bear

    Wake up before he sticks his head in the tent The fence works like most things regarding grizz most of the time. We use to use tin cans on a string when I was a kid. If a bear wants in he will defeat bear boards or efences. Bastards are every bit as smart as a border collie. But just like...

    7mm-08?

    I am I suppose, read some of his books as a kid in Alaska. We didn’t have tv up there in the early 60s. While I’ve owned very few 7mms I’ve been keenly aware of them since the 7mm Remington mag started showing up. As I’ve aged out of numerous over bore cartridges I’ve become more interested in...
