    Flight Questions

    In the US, you typically fly into Atlanta, then on to Johannesburg. Typically you will have to spend the night and the next morning fly into East London. I fly delta from salt lake to Atlanta, delta from Atlanta to Joburg and airlink from joburg to final destination. There are other routes...

    So dumb question about a pelican

    A couple others have mentioned chemicals to remove the mold release agent-I recommend odorless mineral spirits-but the concept is the same I am also a lover of stickers. . .

    Post your Pronghorn pictures

    I love the freaks! No way I would have passed a buck like that up. You can always hunt a typical buck another trip, but the freaks only come along “once in a lifetime”

    Georgia bird hunting?

    Have you checked with the getducks.com website? They also have multiple YouTube videos and podcasts specific to Azerbaijan. My wife has already told me that I cannot go there-I hope you have better luck! Crested pochards, common pochards, Eurasian wigeons and more!

    Waterbuck - South Africa

    My most recent one-one of my favorite things to hunt. The east cape and game4africa have been good to me. We were hunting a bigger one that gave us the slip and I took this one instead-I like to pull the trigger! I was surprised how good waterbuck meat tasted

    What type of YouTube videos do you enjoy?

    Do you only review products you like and endorse or are you going to be brave and point out the products that aren’t worth owning as well? It’s a slippery slope

    How old to hunt Dangerous Game

    Part of this is when they can understand about taking a life and even more so when they take the life of an animal revered as dangerous. If they have the maturity and the skill level, then go for it. I would also let them earn the money to pay for such a feat or contribute in some way-you...

    Well boys, what's your temperature like now?

    What type of YouTube videos do you enjoy?

    Gear reviews tend to become advertisements for stuff I don’t need. There is one hunting show filmed entirely in Africa on tv I won’t watch simply because they spend ten minutes of every episode bragging up the guns they use. -sitting and talking for ten minutes about a gun I have no interest...

    $25,000 in Africa excluding, flights, tips, and trophy shipment what would you do?

    I would take my wife and do the Rovos Rail bird hunting tour. Still get to see the countryside, lots of shooting, cool new trophies and living in luxury. Simple pleasure done at a high level

    Ocellated Turkey Mount

    Hazel Creek is Cally Morris and has long been the GoTo for turkey taxidermy and freeze dried heads. But there are many outstanding turkey taxidermists around the country I’ve never been a big fan of the “singing” pose and if I ever get one, I would probably do a flying mount, but that’s just me

    Sandgrouse, guine fowl and francolin and springbok culling. Could it be done at the same concession and when?

    Check out burchell-wolf safaris in Namibia. Also beast and bird in South Africa has been on my radar. Mark Haldane might still have some offers available as well. Worth a look at least.

    Live Animal Relocation to USA

    In the March/April edition of Sports Afield magazine there is a short article called “Franken-Wildlife” on cloning wildlife. It touches on the op’s topic-worth picking up the issues for this and other articles.-but I mostly buy it for the pictures ;)

    "Stolen Valor" - in the hunting field/industry

    I won’t claim any pleasure in pointing out the foibles of others nor understand that purpose. However, I am often surprised how poor hunters/fishermen are at estimating shot distance, remembering actual score-antlers or horns especially when measured by an actual scorer and the weights of...

    7mm/08 for Plains Game? Good or Bad?

    7mm/08 for Plains Game? Good or Bad?

    The problem with the heavier/longer bullets and the short throat is that the bullet will want to be seated deeper which occupies space the powder wants. At least that was true for me. The 150 was excellent but the 175 I was never satisfied with-in my rifle.
