    Raffle results

    So I enjoy the idea of a raffle. I enter them from time to time as a long shot way to maybe win a hunt and support organizations that I want to support (WSF, SCI, Rocky mountain bighorn, etc). I wonder if some of these drawings even happen? There are no results posted anywhere, no winners...

    What weapon should I buy...

    Alright, figured I'd go to the group. I'll start by saying I don't really "need" any of these LOL. I hunt primarily with my wife and son, and spend more and more time getting them on animals than I do myself. I currently have a 6.5 PRC (Browning x-bolt), 300 PRC (Christensen Ridgeline FFT)...

    Using Claude to build a book

    Yesterday I went down a vast rabbit hole asking Claude (AI) to review my Africa thread and build an outline, suggested flow and page breakdown for a book. I then uploaded quality pictures and went through page by page and had it create 99 sequential png files at 3kx3k resolution. I took the...

    Really considering NZ next year with the family...looking for guidance

    Just returned from Africa for the 2nd year in a row and I can't wait for our next international hunting trip. I am really thinking about NZ but most of what I see is high fence stags and I already have a really big stag. I'd rather have a smaller public land stag, tahr, fallow if possible. I...

    Anyone drive in South Africa?

    Went last year and PH drove all the time. Headed back in a couple weeks and will have 5 days before hunt starts. Considering renting a car. Will be in Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape. Any experiences that you can share?

    Panhandle Bear ‘26

    My older two kids have a genetic kidney disorder. My older daughter (23) got a transplant in Oct and my older son (22) is in kidney failure. He has been on Hemo dialysis for about a year and a half and hasn’t been able to go anywhere. Well, we got him on peritoneal dialysis and we are going bear...

    Flying skulls

    I have tried all manner of things to fly a cleaned skull home and not get the nose broken. Added a step to my normal process this time and got sons elk from MT to KY in one piece. My normal mechanism is pool noodles over points and then a ton of bubble wrap and plastic wrap (the moving kind they...

    Well…they closed that loophole :-)

    Shoot your bear defense gun more

    That’s it, that’s the message. However much help you think your gun is going to be you are likey wrong. I shot mine some yesterday and wasn’t impressed with myself LOL. Spend some time shooting and make an honest decision about how effective you think you can be with a bear running at you.

    Bibs/Pants for a January Trapline trip in AK.

    going for 5 full days on a snowmobile checking a trapline and hunting wolves/wolverine/lynx. Since it’s after season sale time I’m wondering what kind of pants or bibs. I have a Helly Hanson ski coat and a ton of down and merino for my upper body but nothing for lower really. I have Sitka down...

    Help me build a rifle

    I’d like to build a long range tack driver that isn’t super duper heavy. Maybe like a 22 creed or 22 ARC? 7 backcountry with a short barrel intrigues me as well. Would like a chassis type stock that folds with a built in ARCA for tripod connection and maybe a small pic rail out front for a...

    Here’s to the $43 cooler!

    The last few seasons I have been traveling with at least one cheap Coleman cooler with wheels as one of my checked bags. I put a duffel in the bottom and fill it with clothes and gear. I then tie mule tape around it so it can’t come open and check it as a bag. It is exactly 61” and the airline...

    Best socks I have ever worn

    Let me start by saying I'm not sponsored by this company and get no kickbacks. But if you have been searching for a new boot sock you should check out Willowace Alpaca socks. They are darn good. I have the compression socks (only available sometimes it seems) and the new thicker boot socks...

    What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep

    I used to own a Wrangler and now own a Tundra 4x4 (which I love). I also have a Honda Pioneer 700-4 to use around our property. I have been thinking of getting a new UTV with windows/air/heat, etc. but when I look at the price I'm thinking I could get an older jeep for cheaper, have heat and...

    When will we know Idaho general tag results?

    I know it’s the first year but figured someone might have some inside info.

    Bitterroot Turkeys

    I know it’s fall and I’m supposed to be thinking about elk…and I am…but I’d like to get a Merriams for Thanksgiving with my bow this fall. Who on here has a back yard full that wouldn’t mind me sitting behind a hay bale and shooting one. Don’t hold out on me now, dig deep. Seriously though PM...

    Murderous Speedgoat!

    Saw something I didn’t really think happened yesterday. Watched a buck pronghorn kill a smaller buck. I guess I knew it happened from time to time but dang that was crazy. Gored in the guts and died fairly quickly.

    8yo first whitetail

    Didn’t want to take over the other thread but my son kept his banner year rolling the past couple weeks with his first whitetail on KY archery opener on 9/6 and his first doves last night with his Pappy (my Dad). He is having a pretty good year so far, first Turkey, first Blesbuck and First...

    Let’s talk about your shot process…

    While I was in Africa I had an opportunity to shoot a lot at animals. Just not something we really get here in the states. One thing I noticed is that the more excited I get the larger an area I aim at. I am very robotic about my draw and setting anchor points but I feel like I am worse about...

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    Will use this thread to post Pics and stories as I experience my first African hunting experience. Hoping to get a good Kudu, Gemsbok and Red Hartebeest with my bow. Excited to see my son get a warthog and likely an impala and my wife wants to kill a Zebra. Should be a blast! Tag along if you...
