    The different cuts of an elk?

    The guys that I am going with this November never send the backstraps out EVER. As others said above they take most all of the good meat cuts they can get and minimize the burger. All meat is deboned before transporting too.

    Red Sand Safaris African Hunt

    Just checked their website and their prices are very reasonable. Pretty sure that he used the .416 for the cape. One mistake I made, sorta, was shooting a trophy class springbok and got hit with the unexpected surprise trophy fee. Kind of hard to judge a 1/2 inch of horn length at 200 yards...

    Red Sand Safaris African Hunt

    Serious congratulations. I was just there last month with another outfitter and we did pretty well. Did not get the chance to even see any of the Cape B’s. But they certainly a formidable animal. Your food does look much more impressive than what we had but the hunting left us all satisfied...

    Swfa models NLA

    I noticed this as well. Looking for a decent scope for my Tikka 30.06 and with all of the praises on this site for them I was looking to them over the Leupold but they are out of stock on a lot. This would also give me concerns for long term support and warranty if they would have suitable...

    The NOCO jumpers actually serve as a back up charger too for your cell phones and lights etc. Can’t stress enough the importance to put an empty gas can and a couple jugs of drinking water in the back if you have the room. By far the most frequent thing that I have to use is the compressor and...

    Brain removal in the field?

    Going out to New Mexico in November and on the “assumption” that I am successful, I would not have thought about this. Looks like the best option would be the car wash.

    Truck Brakes?

    I have used 1A Auto in the past and they are great to deal with but that being said, I have a 2017 Yukon and a 2014 Silverado and have power stop rotors, calipers and pads all around on both. Over many years I have tried several brands and these have been the best by far and won’t break the...

    30-06 for everything????

    Just got back from a hunt in South Africa and I used a 30.06 with 150 gr. Barnes bullet and took two animals at 300 yards plus with that combination and both animals dropped in their tracks. Gemsbuck and Blue Wildebeast are large animals and those bullets expanded very well with shoulder shots...
