This was the end result of one of our Kudu stalks. Maybe 20 yards. Backed out nice and easy, instead of saying “hey Bear” as she would in Alaska. “Hey buff” seemed to work. 300 felt pretty light in my hands :)
The quoted price for Kudu is pretty good and they all look big. I passed on a number of them and then started to feel I was going to end up like Hemingway. Hell we had one stalk busted by a bunch of Giraffe. How the hell do you stumble into a 16 foot tall animal? I did take a zebra that had been...
I'm really glad I got a Blessbuck. When I go again I'll shoot a couple warthogs. I went looking for the spiral horns, Bushbuck, Nyala, Kudu and Eland. Got those. Decided to go with Euro mounts and kept hunting. I think the Warthog makes a great Euro. The Euro mounts look great and re allocating...
He’s only a spike, I was way too slow picking up on them this morning. Watching my feet I guess. There are a couple of decent bulls that snuck over the ridge before I could get a pic.
Guided two guys, two years apart. Both were from So. Cal. Bought their first rifles from the same Cabelas down there. Both showed up day before the season opened with scopes mounted back wards. One said it hadn’t been shot that the clerk mounted the scope, looked down the barrel and dialed the...
Watched the DNA science develope over my career. I recall deputy Reichert, King County Sheriffs office was chastised for booking a DNA sample after reading about this possible evidence tool. Years Later that sample, when Reichert was king county sheriff, was checked again and the green river...
Currently I keep a wallet style on my pack and a slip on the butt. Reloads in the years I’ve been hunting with a number 1 have thankfully been academic. I’m really just waiting for P-Ham to design the perfect system.
I just talked to a saddle maker in Illinois, I’ll see him on Saturday going to see if he can make me something for my forearm similar to the old archery arm protectors. Adjustable so I can use it in September or December kind of thing. I’ll let you know
The wing works is designed for chukar hunting in Hells canyon. If you don’t hunt that country you won’t appreciate the value. The Final rise is similar in that respect. My wife’s is set up like my Quilomene in that a camel back bladder, 100oz can be used to water the dogs. The pouch is set up...
Been horse poor for a long time. I need to find a picture of the daughter riding her own horse into the Eagle Cap wilderness, she was three. She is 39 now and still riding. If your daughter is not get her involved in a 4h equestrian program. Good luck, have fun.
I’m still running my 20 year old Quilomene vest. If it ever comes apart I would probably buy a Wing Works if I can get ahold of Bob because he was willing to modify the one I bought for my better half.
Plus one on that. Ordered some parts to rebuild Moma’s 25 year old Maytag dryer this last winter. 150.00 bucks in parts an afternoon of my time, the thing keeps on running. Parts never arrived. Called supplier they checked on their end, Fed Ex shipping number showed delivered. Called local fed...
