What they are trying to get away from in my understanding is paying folks finder fees when they spot a large animal and then call the guide. The spider bull was killed this way, there was a bounty out on him for whoever spotted him first and told the guide where he was hanging out at.

Just getting my stuff in order for my safari to South Africa this June. I like to have everything ready a few months ahead of time just incase something happens. I can just deal with the problem instead of all the other things along with the problem

It's just a fun and addictive hunt to do in the spring of the year. Too bad that you didn't get into them this year, when the wind is blowing you need to find hidden draws where they can get out of it, they also don't like to move very much when it is blowing.

Just need to bite the bullet and head south of the border

Those that I know that chase lions with dogs train their dogs to leave other animals along and just go after the lions. The deer may run off some if they pass through a bunch but they are not chased.

I'm planning right now just a shoulder mount on the warthog and euros on what else I might bring back. I already have the kudu, gemsbuck, impala, and springbuck and am running out of room. Right now I am debating on having the mounts done in South Africa or back here in the US. Shipping rates...

I know of one that was prosecuted here in Colorado, I reported them and told the officers that I would testify. I have also seen it reported every year, I don't follow them because I am not involved in them.

Are there seasons and tags required for the predators? There are set season and tags that need to be purchased for the ungulates. Anything outside of those seasons and if you don't have a tag for that season and ungulate then it is considered poaching. In most areas all you need for a...

And how many of them will chase a buck or bull hoping that the antlers will drop off?

I have a .340 Weatherby and without the brake on it I can only take around 10 shots with it and I am then done from the bench. However, I have never felt the recoil of that rifle when hunting, and I never hunt with the brake installed.

From what I have seen over on a different forum there never was a outright ban for US citizens to travel there and back. Hunters have been jumping through the hoops for the last 3 years to go hunt. My main animal will be a warthog since I didn't get one on my first trip and I wanted one...

That's just what I was thinking when I saw that they settled. Most times when this happens there is no fault on the the sued parties part

They don't kill them per say but they do cause undue stress on the does and cows possibly leading to them aborting the fetuses. Also if they are stressed enough they may just go off somewhere and die. There is no proof one way or the other, just speculation..

I guess that I'll update what I am spending on a hunting trip. This June I am headed back to Africa for another hunt. The hunt is $6700 for 10 animals in 10 days, airfare is $2400 but that also includes rescue in case I need it. They will fly me back home here to Colorado on a air...

Kid, you need to look around you. I can't name them off the top of my head but other states are getting with the same program as far as setting dates when you can't be looking for sheds. Most don't have a ethics course that you need to take but perhaps they should. I would also have zero...

I couldn't even begin to list them after 55+ years of hunting. Each and every one usually has that special moment or time with others that make them all special and memorable.

Just because he was appointed by George W doesn't mean that he understands wildlife or just what is happening. Remember George W also appointed Roberts to the Supreme Court and he has swung more to the left than to the right in my opinion

Trouble is with a good snow year the animals are still in winter mode. If anything I would start it June 1 and no sooner. But if you look at Utah's online course you will see that it isn't that tough to pass and if you don't do it the first go around you can just keep changing your answers...

If I won a 6.5 Weatherby I would stick a Leopold VX3i 4.5-14x40 CDS scope on it and have a riot shooting targets and animals with it. But then I am a reloader and can wring out the ultimate performance from it. But even purchasing loaded ammo it would still be fun, expensive but fun.
