    Tunes just outside your comfort genre that you like anyway...

    I don't limit myself to any specific genre, but people who know me are most shocked that I like a long list of The Smiths/Morrissey tunes.

    Foreign trophy processing problems

    That's the first thing I thought when I read your original post. If they were that lazy with the rest of the stuff, I figured they wouldn't spend the time separating the horns from the skull.

    Foreign trophy processing problems

    It sounds like a big mess. I think I'd start dealing with a different taxidermist/tanner. I hope you have better luck in the future. At least your safari was successful.

    Foreign trophy processing problems

    Yikes! You know the saying... fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. If you don't mind me asking, how much were the taxidermy fees? Included in the safari or separate?

    Keep it/Sell it? Mossberg 800B .243

    It's a budget end rifle that was made from the mid-60s to the late 70s. Remington took over the market niche with the lower priced 788 and pushed them out. I've shot one in .308 with open sights and it had pretty good groups. The bolt wasn't butter, but it was better than you'd expect from a...

    sighting back in question

    I always just start off at 25 yds and go from there.

    sighting back in question

    I feel your pain. I've been wanting to replace the scope on my .270 but with only a limited supply of ammo, sighting in will be a stressful endeavor.

    Camping on NF

    Go to the NF or BLM website and search for dispersed camping. It'll basically tell you it's allowed in most cases. It's always good to check for the specific area you're going. I've spent many of trips back country camping on NF land.

    Do you Hunt from a ground blind?

    I concur. If I just wanted to shoot stuff, I could do that from my kitchen window.

    Worst Hunting Hand Me Down

    Once upon a time, my cousin gave me an old baker tree climber. I can't believe how dumb younger me was... I used to get pretty high in that death trap with no safety harness.

    B&C says no no no

    In an attempt to be brief, I was less than precise. I specifically meant in relation to the article. I applaud what B&C has done historically and I take no issue with them. I even agree with the ethics and fair chase argument that they are making here. However, as the article starts off, any...

    Do you Hunt from a ground blind?

    It's not my preferred method, but I use one on occasion.

    B&C says no no no

    I'm not a trophy chaser so what B&C does has little effect on me, but I do agree that some of these push an ethics boundry and all of them contribute to a less fair chase hunt.

    Montana & Wyoming vacation?

    I'll echo the recommendation on the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody. I spent at least half a day in the firearms portion of the museum and could have stayed longer if it wasn't for my wife being ready to move on.

    Just One

    In that case: Rimfire: Ruger 10/22 because in SHTF times, it'll put food on the table daily Pistol: XD 45 Tact converted to 460 Rowland. My go to for swamp deer and hogs.

    Just One

    Shotgun: Browning A5 Hunter (12 ga) - I'm terrible at wing shooting, but I do pretty decent with this shotgun compared to my others. Rifle: Tikka T3 lite (30-06) - This one is tough. I have the same model in .270 and it really gets all the action. But if I have to limit myself to 1, then...
