    Hunting England, Chinese water deer and muntjac.

    Prime Rib Roasts

    The Annual Elk Success Thread!!!! 2023

    Last day of 4th season yesterday. Just a little one but haven't killed an elk in over 10 years. Found out I'm not in shape to carry one out alone anymore either. Thank God I was able to get a message out to my son from on top of the hill. Was still an all day job.

    First African safari completed

    My total cost of this hunt with airfare, tips and all animals hunted was right at 6k per person. I just got an add from an outfitter I know in Texas for a 2 day hunt for 1 wildebeest at 10k.

    I shot both Pigs at about 40 yards btw. One double lung that went about 75 yards and the other quartering to me that broke the one shoulder and excited the other side. He went about 30 yards
