Maybe I didn't read your post correctly, but Hodgdon has owned IMR from the very beginning. They added the H-series later on. In addition to Alliant stopping production for civilian markets, Hodgdon has suspended the Enduron powders (plant that makes Enduron is also supplying military...

Do we get to drink the Dos XX with you?

That ain't no joke. Of course there some people that say Aoudad is good eating - but I think they are talking jalapeno sticks...

Johan Calitz comes to mind as well. He's the one I always heard about in Botswana. And this is before he and Tony Makris did their hunting shows.

Looks like I spoke out of turn? This says USFWS are responsible for inspections on arrival. Guess I'll call and find out. https://www.fws.gov/law-enforcement/wildlife-inspector-dallasfort-worth-airport-texas

In the last 5 years I think West Texas Aoudad hunts have doubled/tripled in cost - so I won't complain too much on the cost of Nilgai.

Lots of truth in this statement. By the way, have you seen what the operator in the Nyae Nyae (Namibia) is getting for his trophy bull hunts? It's more than Botswana I believe.

No worries - I may have that off a little bit myself, but the taxidermist can get you lined out. I've heard of Yukkutz but that's about it. I'm still up in the air on Gould's taxidermy. I might end up doing good photos/video of my hunt and not do any taxidermy. That said, if I was doing an...

There's a difference between 'approval/clear' and 'processing'. If you reread my initial post I said 'processed by an approved taxidermist'. The skin you bring back will be cleaned and boraxed, but not processed per USDA standards. It's similar to Dip/pack and warthogs/primates from Africa...

Birds are required to be processed at a USDA approved taxidermist. You can find those here: https://vsapps.aphis.usda.gov/vsps/public/AESearch.do?method=unspecified The taxidermist you choose should be able to help you with all necessary paperwork, import process and costs for import, etc...

Would you rather have Kamala in charge and just keep pumping US taxpayer money to Ukraine with no results?

30-06 and 7mm Mauser are nowhere near related. 30-06 was based on the 30-03.

3rd Generation of the PH model.

Unfortunately, you're not going to find a decent car in the US for $3,000-$5,000 for the amount of travel I'm guessing you'll be doing. You'd be better off going with the car rental.

Correct on the taxidermy part. I should have clarified that both companies do tanning in addition to taxidermy.

Will The Wildlife Gallery or H&H not touch it?

I've never seen so much bullsh*t as this right here. But keep on doing you.

The Bitterroots are the first iteration of the Trophy Bonded Bearclaw.

The Midway link is for solids.

A New Mexico outfitter that can get landowner tags is your best bet. And the good outfitters are probably 3 years out for openings. Draw odds suck everywhere right now - even New Mexico using an outfitter. High demand areas are well under 50%. In addition, some New Mexico outfitters are...

Missouri Rifle - 10 minutes into the season.

One of the best bang for the buck is the SilencerCo Harvester EVO. I have this one but haven't been able to try it yet. It's used a lot on hunting rigs. AB Suppressor is another company that is up and coming I believe.

I thought Wayne retired and Matrix took over the CZ 550 upgrades?

Pre-64 H&H length actions were factory notched on the rear ring and slightly on the front ring to feed.

https://dandlcustomhousebrokers.com/ D & L is in Chicago. I used them in 2017 - no issues.

I picked up a steel Bergara BMR and going to wring it out this weekend. Reviews have been good on them and hope mine follows suit.

Trijicon Accupoint 1-4 or 1-6. https://www.omahaoutdoors.com/trijicon-accupoint-1-4/ https://www.omahaoutdoors.com/trijicon-accupoint-1-6/

Contact Wayne at AHR. He is the 'go-to' for CZ work. http://americanhuntingrifles.com/

Read the fine print; most airlines have written into their policies that 'sporting goods' items that exceed the size limit won't be charged extra. That's why Delta, etc., don't charge. They worry about weight more than size.

First and foremost is I'd do a chamber cast and get dimensions so I could figure out exactly what I have and go from there. Did you buy it assuming it was a standard 257R? Yes, it looks like someone AI'd that chamber and didn't set the barrel back. If done correctly (AI process) the...

What type of hunt are you looking for? Bait, spot/stalk or with hounds? Any particular color phase? If you want to do with hounds and riding mules in the back country I recommend Joe Troyer of Lil Joe's Big Game Hunting in New Mexico. He hunts the Capitan area and was 90% on bears last year...

Hard to believe your trip is just around the corner And don't worry, you'll be repackaging a bunch in the next 30 days. :D My hunting trips will be on the back burner for the next few years. Last month I bought some land by Otterville.

My addiction started in 2009 and have made 2 other trips since then. Number 4 would be in the works soon except I just bought some property last week.

Botswana's President Khama is against hunting and also tied in with the photo safari industry.

My 375 H&H is also the CZ. I used factory 300 gr Swift A-Frames on my last trip. Took a springbok at 110 yards and red hartebeest at 85 yds. My normal go to is the Hornady 270 gr Interlock spire point backed by 73 gr. of Reloder 15. It gives the same accuracy as listed above. Just seat to...

Double check your twist rate. I think the American has a twist of 1:8" which should stabilize either of those bullets. Another option is take a look at the Federal offering with the 62 gr. Trophy Bonded Tip. They are bonded pretty similar (think weight retention) as the Swift and only a...

No, not possible to use the flat skin for a shoulder mount. The cape starts at the midpoint of the body and goes forward to encompass everything on the head. A flat skin they start cutting right behind the head and go back. Not to mention on a flat skin they cut the underside of the neck and...

I did what the others have said. Usually also stuff a few cleaning supplies into that box as it has room. You'll find out REAL quick it doesn't take much to add up to the 50 lb. weight limit. Stuff as much in your backpack as you can. Said you're flying Delta, did you guys spring for economy...

No offense meant and no dog in the fight either. I've more than likely seen the same threads you have on the other forum. Bottom line; seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there regarding HHK.

Unless something has changed recently, Lou has nothing to do with HHK. According to HHK's website they have some Matetsi blocks, Deka, and Dande South. As far as I know, Martin Pieters still has the Omay concessions. HHK is still the same group as it was a couple of years ago. Just my...

I thought they went bust??? I'm almost positive they went through a huge foreclosure sale last summer/fall to pay off the bank??

Phillip, that's only partially correct. Federal law sets the legal age for HANDGUN possession at 18, but there is NO federal law setting a minimum age for LONG GUN possession. There are some individual states that have minimum age requirements for possession, however.

That ship has sailed and nothing will be done until 2021. An early press release before the formal announcement helped 'fish-head' that.

If Chicago is your closest place, contact D&L Custom Brokers. They are located in Chicago. If you haven't contracted any shipping, contact Safari Cargo Systems. Pieter Erasmus is a member here. They shipped both of my previous trips and were professional in every way. D&L could probably...

I will second what you said about Arjun. Last August I sat next to a guy on the way back from RSA who had booked with Arjun on multiple occasions and extremely happy with him. Don't know what species you're after, but Arjun's clients have been hammering some really nice LDE in Cameroon already...

That'll be a cool trip. GMAs or private property?

Marius is right. When in the voting booth weren't worried about importing elephant. Was looking at the overall picture in the US and Hillary was just not an option. Getting the elephant ban lifted would have been an after the fact bonus.

It's pretty well known here in the States that Trump isn't a hunter while his boys are. Nothing new about that. From what I remember, the boys got their interest in hunting from their mom's (Ivanna) dad.
