I didn't need to even purchase any kind of license or anything at all except for third party shooters insurance, which is only obtained by joining BASC, which is like their NRA. The way it was explained to me was something like this.... If I was using a guide's rifle I didn't need a firearm...
This hunt was free and wild in no preserve or any enclosures of any kind. I am presently working in Iraq and flew over to make the hunt. I borrowed a nice little Sauer 202 Mannlicher chambered for 308Win. I used the same rifle with Sierra 165g Game Kings on both animals. The stag absorbed three...

Well, just completed my hunt north of London.
I dropped this European Red Stag on opening morning and the Reeves Muntjac buck the following morning.
The Red Stag scores 303 1/8 SCI and the Muntjac scores 17 14/16 SCI.

I was thinking at the time he was playing, that I wished I had taken my camera with me. I'm glad I didn't though because the sound of it operating and the flash (it has an outo flash) could have gotten him a little stirred up..
It was a great experience now that it's over! LOL
Thought I would share a true bear story concerning a bear and myself. This was a couple of weeks ago on opening day of my elk hunt.
My son and I had found a perfect place to put together a makeshift blind next to a dirt tank. Many people would call it a pond, but in this part of the world, it's...
Wayne gets $2,500 for a hunt like this. He is one of the nicest young fellers I have ever met and gets results. It's so unique to watch the bond between him and his dogs. I;ve been around hundsmen who treated their dogs (well let's say less than kind). He isn't that way at all. The guy knows his...
Well, first of all, using a 22 in New Mexico on a cougar would land you in the slammer. It's quite illegal for use on them. Secondly, I don't hunt small game at all, so I don't own a 22 and have no plans on ever owning one. I wouldn't have used it in any rate if I had one. The dogs were tied up...
No, why would I?
I was using 150g Nosler Partitions in it. The jackets are heavy enough as to not expand on a puddy-tat. I had a 27 cal. hole in one side and a .27 cal. hole out the other. If I had wanted to use something different, I would have. If I ever hunt for another one, I'll likely use a...
OK, too much information Oscar!
I will say, when I was hunting Caribou in Quebec, I took a bath on one of those glacier formed lakes. Man, it was COLD!
She-it, I would bet money I had an innie instead of an outie after getting in that lake! LMAO
HoundDawg, you probably know more about the big cats than I do. I hadn't heard that Teddy's cat had been bettered, but I don't hear a lot of things until I've already opened my mouth and then find out I have my story wrong.. LOL
I'm good at that!
I saw a picture of that cat of Teddy Roosevelt's...
I put it in the freezer yesterday afternoon. That's what I did with my bear skull too. Don't know if it actually does any good, but I figure it is worth a try. He11, I just hope it doesn't hurt..
The funny thing about putting it in the freezer for a while. I guess it's like getting a freezer...
I am told the cats up in your area get larger than those down here do. I don't know that for a fact. I do know that the world record was killed in Colorado by Teddy Roosevelt and there are more B&C entries from N. New Mexico than this area. From all reports, this one is pretty huge for this...
I figured it was just a matter of "putting in my time", but I finally had to resort to getting some professional help. LOL
I tried everything else and couldn't get the job done. Wayne worked with me on my limited time off from work and he was close to home. This was only our second day out this...
Went with Wayne Bilings. The owner of WB Guide Service and his fantastic hounds. We treed this Tom after about four hours. He weighed 170 lbs on a certified scale. He was 8' 3" from the tip of his nose to the end of this tail. The skull green scores 14 13/16 points.
Here's a picture of the cat...
