  • Hello Edward, and thanks for the kind comments on my taxidermy work, the scimitar-horned oryx was taken on the northmillranch, texas.

    Yes, Edward. If I wrote it, that's what I said, and that's what I use. Lightly spray onto clean, white towel, and go over the mount with the direction of the hair/fur.
    Hi Edward,

    Thanks for that.
    Sorry I didn't see your friendly comment sooner.
    But, I had not looked into my photos very much lately.
    I looked up your profile and learned that you and your wife are handgun hunters.
    Unfortunately I cannot claim the same status for myself.
    However, I can understand why you find it appealing / more challenging than hunting with a rifle.

    Cheers,
    Velo Dog
    You did a fine job on the buffalo Edward.. I would be interested to know the ballistics on your 45-70. I was shooting a 385 gr. solid brass bullet at 1840 fps. in the 500. I was 66 at the time.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
