Thanks for the pics they were wonderful. I use to compete, and it was nice seeing pics of some of my old friends. Sort of like a family reunion
I enjoyed it!

Call your local county health nurse and she can give you information on the shots required. If you can not get a hold of them, then try the CDC, Center for Disease Control in your state, they'll direct you right.
What I have heard this year is there has been a typhoid outbreak, but I am not...
I use to shoot the circuit, and couldn't wait for the season to start. It would start with the first ASA tournie in Florida in Jan and then go every other weekend until the middle of August, whew!!!!! Who has the time to dedicate that strongly anymore. When I was competing I would shoot a bow at...
Must not be too smart they haven't learned to live in our mountains yet Just Joking. I have friends that come and visit me here and always tell me how stupid our Mulies are! My answer is "Well I don't see one in your cooler!"
Both species definately have different traits and are a blast to...
Like you've already answered your own question One is just as good as the other. I have used the Beman ICS Hunters for the past three years. The camo hunters give you just a little more weight if that's what you are looking for. I have been real satisfied with their performance, and...
Timberghost,
It's pretty simple I just put them on the ferrole and then sharpen them on a wet stone. It doesn't take much to bring an edge to them. Do not add too much pressure, for you can get the points off ballanced.
They sharpen up so good, that you can actually cut your fingers putting...
I cradle it in my arms as if it were a baby
Really I treat it like a good piece of machinery, it had better hold up to the abuse! If you have to worry about it breaking all of the time in the field, why have it. Dependable, durable equipment, kid tested Mother Approved

Hunting is closed in Zambia this year, until further notice. The only hunting allowed is on private owned ranches, all goverment owned concessions are closed.
I do not know the country very well, so I cannot tell you if there are any private ranches near by to hunt, I am sorry for that. What I...
1_pointer,
Last year while preparing for a Cape buffalo hunt I experimented with three different kinds of broadheads. The Magnus, Zwickey and a 2 blade Muzzy.
The test was to see the differences in penetration:
I set up a 7/8" piece of form ply then had 18" of void and then another 1/2 inch...
DKO,
Your best months for bowhunting is Mid June through Mid September.
June the leaves start to fall and visibility is better. The land starts to dry, so the animals come together in search for water. In mid Sept. is when the raining season can start again in dry years it's later, but...
Gentlemen,
Just a food for thought here. If you are planning this trip for 2002, then find your outfitter fast and get a deposit down on your dates. You don't have to make the final arrangements then, but just so your dates are held. Bowhunting is best only in a few short months out of the year...
Oh Riaan,
You forgot to mention your beautiful sunrises and sunsets I actually filmed one sunrise so I could watch it anytime I felt homesick for the RSA
The book title has it right: I Dreamed of Africa. That's what is so intriguing. Each one of us has a preconceived notion of what...
I agree with Rich, a good set of glasses followed by a stalk. I had never used a treestand until I went back east to hunt your whitetail. It took some getting use to Hardest part is staying awake after you get warm!
Mule deer do not really pattern. They will stay in one area for a long...
Hello Moosie,
I am the one that contacted you via e mail the other night in reference to hunting the RSA.
The Gentleman I used in the RSA for the past three safaris was Charl Watts, of Caracal Hunting Safaris. He is located out of Vaalwater, RSA.
He owns and operates his business and his...
